Bet Against the House

It has often been said that you should never bet against the house because you will never win. Things have changed this year and I am shouting it from the rooftops, “Bet against the house!” Life is not well in Liberalville these days and indeed are getting worse by the day. The big gavel Nancy Pelosi walked around with is now threatening to come down directly on her. What was thought to be a generational movement is soon going to be nothing more than a movement of another kind that happens when one eats something very unpleasant.

 

Things that the house has done has indeed done nothing to give hope for this fall. Everything they have stood for is going down in the flames of populist unrest and there is indeed every indication that the house is on fire. Poll after poll is showing a bad situation worsening by the day and if the 8/28 Glenn Beck rally is any indication, there will such a political upheaval this fall as has never been seen before.

 

What is happening is not a result of unrest with the past, but unrest with what will happen in the future if the Democratic dunderheads are left in power for two more years. Things once thought unthinkable have been passed or are contemplated for passage in the house. The sure foundation of liberalism has been built on a foundation of sinking sand. They are literally sinking under the weight of the gross deeds that they have performed. It has been said that the mark of a great man or movement is not what he does, but the result of what he has done. This does the Democrats no favors when their trail of disastrous legislation is laid bare for all to see. As some details of the health care law come to light, America recoils in horror and Democrats recoil in shame.

 

When Pres. Reagan and Pres. Bush got off to a rough start in their administrations, they regained their footing and moved America forward. Obama shows all the makings of not having the perceptiveness to do this. Instead he continues to bumble and stumble from one issue to the other wanting at times to use his teleprompters as shields as they contain no magic words that do anything of significance or of net positive effect. You can literally take any issue and see where his shortcomings are for all to see.

 

So whatever you have, bet against the house, because this house of cards is going down. It only remains to be seen how far down it is going to go. This dilemma is now spreading to the Senate where it appears that even this house is in jeopardy. All around the landscape looks bleak for liberals, and who would have guessed this would happen only a year and a half ago? When I was asked about the impending Obama presidency just before he took office, I said that time would be his greatest enemy and his own actions and words would serve to be unkind to him. Looks like I have been proven to be 100% right. Conservatism is like fine wine; it only gets better with age.
