Life with Barry

IS THIS THE SPECTER OF WHAT IS TO COME?

(Oct. 6, 2012) — The date is Thanksgiving 2016. The 2012 national election, and individual freedom, have been history  for several years now.  Just like the changes that took place after the 2008 election, the nation’s first socialist president is rapidly making permanent changes to the United States.   The centuries old Constitution is still the basis for law in the land, but now the executive branch of government and a committee of mullahs are in charge of deciding what will be enforced  and what is to be ignored.  A new constitution based on sharia law has been promised by the end of the year.  Private property rights are rapidly disappearing as wealth redistribution proceeds.

Let us take a look at how quickly life is changing in America.  Workforce productivity has dropped to its lowest level in the nation’s history.  Re-education camps, like the Japanese internment camps during the Second World War, have been set up for individuals that do not conform to all government rules and regulations.  The Democrat Party has officially removed any reference to God from their political platform and all government documents. They have officially changed the  party name to the Socialist Democrat Party to be more reflective of their true identity.  The elite in Washington now makes all decisions as to what individuals throughout the land need.  Individual wants must be justified to a national board of government arbitrators.

Government Motors is the official vehicle manufacture of  America.  They only make electric cars with a range of 40 miles.  Unfortunately,  due to the conversion to green energy and a government decision to eliminate all fossil fuels for electricity generation, there are daily power outages that sometimes go on for several days.   If an individual wishes to go a greater distance they must apply for a mass transit pass from the federal government and wait their turn for a mass conveyance assignment.  The highways are substantially less crowded because interstate travel is determined by a government planner.  Highways are restricted to mass transit vehicles or government vehicles on government business.  Gasoline is selling at around $10 a gallon. Because of the highway use permit restriction and price of gasoline, all of the older vehicles now litter the countryside with some of the larger ones becoming new homes for those on the official government housing waiting list.

Meal planning is much simpler because each head of household must submit a report to the Department of Health and Human Services with each day’s meal content.  This is being done to reduce skyrocketing health care cost due to obesity.  Traditional turkey and dressing has been changed to tofu turkey and gluten-free breads.  High protein and calorie foods are being given to less fortunate nations to feed their population and to try to bring worldwide equality for all.

National American holidays with Judeo-Christian roots like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, and Easter have been completely prohibited because they have been found to be offensive to the growing number of Muslims in the world.  This fourth Thursday in November is just another day where the workers of the nation have the opportunity to go forth and continue to build a better world for all.

Barry has truly earned his Nobel Peace Prize. In just eight short years, the nation’s savior has managed to bring peace to the world and economic equality to all of mankind.  No longer are some nations allowed to rape the land and sea of its resources.   No longer are ordinary individuals allowed to profit from others because they simply had visions of what could be and not what was. Now government-trained committees make all the decisions for the people.  Gone are all the lucky and unlucky.  Everyone in the world now suffers equally. There are no Americans in combat anywhere in the world; after all, Americans no longer have anything to fight for, and when you are a slave one master is the same as another.

Americans now rest on a multitude of government waiting lists.  On this Thanksgiving, those truly thankful are grateful for not being at the very bottom of the list.  While the time frame may be just a little off, the events described above will surely  happen under a progressive socialist government.  Please make sure you remember this essay when you vote for your progressive Democrat the sixth of November.
