I have purposefully allowed several days to pass while I watch headlines and see what would transpire after freedom’s defeat in last week’s election.  I have already posted my thoughts on that matter and a full week has passed.  I thought it would be fun to watch the headlines and see what happens around the world, and in our own “backyard” as everyone could see that America is on the path to a quick suicide.  You may have been keeping up, as I have, so not much of this may be new to you.  However, let’s look back at the past week and see what has happened in our world and contemplate the direction of our country.  For the record, I am not even including the big ticket items of the ridiculous Benghazi cover-up, or the Petraus onion-layered scandal.  So, in no particular order, let’s notice a few things.

Within hours of the election being called, the Obama team was quick to let the U.N. know they are ready to resume talks about passing the U.N. small arms treaty.  You remember that, right?  That’s the “treaty” that would prohibit – or severely limit – us from helping our allies (such as Israel).  It, also, opens the door for our Constitutional law, our nation’s sovereignty, and our personal rights to be subject to the U.N . . . meaning, it could be an open door for further U.N. restrictions on personal gun ownership . . . on an extreme level, some believe it could lead to global gun registration and confiscation.  That’s fantastic. (sarcasm)

Many people would agree with this commentary from WND in stating that the Constitution lost in the election.   Yeah, and so did freedom, the unborn, the “pursuit of happiness” without being taxed out the wazzoo, etc.

The day after the election, I remember seeing the report that Iran fired on one of our drones . . . prior to the election, but that word was kept from the public until afterwards.  Here’s another take on it from Breitbart.  Makes sense that Iran would be so bold.  They have no reason to fear us or take us seriously these days.

The biggest thing that this election should have been based on was being “cool,” racial groups, economic classes and female body parts . . . oh, no, wait a minute . . . that’s what it ended up focusing on.  What it SHOULD have been about was the economy.  Since we are continuing on the exact same fiscal path that has proven to fail throughout history, can you think of anything that has happened regarding the economy or jobs in the past week?  Well, for starters, here’s this little ditty from the Washington Times about companies planning big layoffs due to Obamacare.   Here’s one from The Blaze that has a small list of companies that announced layoffs or closings the day after Obama’s re-election.  The Washington Post reports on a business owner who got his employees together, read a prayer, then announced the layoffs.  One Utah company had to layoff 102 workers because of Obama’s policies.  The Economic Collapse Blog joined in the fun, too, and gave us another listing of post-election layoffs and firings .  Who knew there was this much turmoil?  I mean, we’ve been told by this administration and the media that everything is ok . . . that we’re improving.  This almost seems like business owners were waiting for the election because there might have been hope to stay in business if we had someone in office that wasn’t trying to kill all things American!  That can’t be, though, right?  I mean, everybody loves Obama . . . he is the great unifier and he’s pretty much messiah status, right?

So, is it only business owners that give us an indication of the road we travel economically?  Nope.  Just today, I saw where the Chinese yuan hit a record high against the dollar.   Marc Faber, CNBC economist, warns us to prepare for a “massive market meltdown.”  I can see that coming, too.  Just one more thing that I find significant, and interesting, a Montana state lawmaker has so little confidence in our economy and currency that he has asked to be paid in gold, according to Politico.  If everything is on the up and up, why get out of our currency and ask to be paid in gold?

And, hey, kids, that’s not all.  Here are a few bonus nuggets from the week!  Remember when Obama told Medvedev to ask Putin for more patience so he can have all of that “flexibility” after the election?  Well, none of us really knows what he meant, although we can probably guess it’s not good and certainly not in favor of America.  Maybe this is it, maybe not, but good ol’ Puty-Put has invited Obama to meet with him and guess what?  He’s going!  Obama can never seem to find the time to meet with an ally like Israel, but he’ll go meet with Putin and other commie dictators.  Here’s the story from the Weekly Standard.

Would you say that freedom requires more government regulation or less?  That seems obvious to me, but this administration goes on and on about the middle class, about American jobs, about getting people back to work, about freedom and the American dream . . . well, can you believe that they keep ratcheting up the number of regulations they’re cranking out?!  Who knew that would come from this administration with all of their positive rhetoric?  I mean, according to Breitbart, they have been posting 68 new regulations/notices per day for the past 3 months.  I’m just guessing, but I’d bet that they’re just getting started, you know, because of all of the extra flexibility!  That is truly the sign of a freedom loving American President, no?  Who the heck can keep up with that??!

Finally, I know I mentioned Israel a bit ago.  We all know that Obama and this administration hate Israel – it’s obvious in their actions and body language when around Netanyahu.  Does that disdain rub off on Obama supporters?  Check out this video from The Blaze, of an Obama supporter and his hate for the Jews.

I’m telling you, folks, I don’t even recognize this country any more.   We are truly upside down and this administration is on the wrong side of every issue.  Apparently, that includes a lot of citizenry, too.  There is only one way to fix it – a return to God, which means a return to our foundation.   I’ll just go ahead and say that I believe we are in for a rough 4 years.  I hope you are prepared for whatever may come.  Whatever comes, though, I will keep doing what I can to point out things going on, offer encouragement, and remind us of our history so we can have a path to find our way back!
