How the mighty have fallen...

Browsing through my email this morning, I ended up at an article over at Human Events that relate the failure of Obamacare as the epitome of Obama's entire time with his ass in the seat of power. The link above will take you to the full article, but the part that hit me I've posted here. Good article, worth the time:

Constitutionalists have observed for years that America has been on a downward spiral as its ruling class has discarded its founding principles — the very ideas that led to this nation’s uniqueness, power, prosperity and benevolence. We’ve known that we could not forever piggyback, with impunity, on America’s system of limited government and its free market economy. Eventually, statist encroachments on both would destroy our prosperity, liberty and power.
But we were thinking in terms of decades into the future, not a matter of a few years. Who would have ever thought the United States would embark on such an accelerated path of national suicide?
At the beginning, people could argue that Obama would usher in a period of prosperity and bipartisanship and that things would get better in America. But after five years of unconscionably reckless federal spending, a wholesale assault on our domestic energy industries, endless abuses of executive authority and other lawless incursions on the Constitution, unprecedented divisiveness and polarization across economic, racial and gender lines, America’s declining power and prestige in the world, an explosion of the welfare state, and the worst economic recovery in 60 years, how can anyone who cares about this nation’s future and the well-being of our children and grandchildren keep supporting this man’s policies?

This is the exact same sentiment I have been struggling with. When there is a brick wall in front of you, okay, MAYBE you can doubt your actual senses and try to walk through it. But after repeated attempts, when your forehead is bleeding and your palms are shredded, isn't it time to go AROUND the block in your path? I struggle with the inability to understand Americans who think this president, and the congress that backs his lies, are in this for us. When is the last time anything has come out of the statists in DC that either has been for our benefit, or waivered for the very ones who force their lord obama's wishes on us?
