Why "The Final Countdown"?

So, the reason I called this blog "The Final Countdown is because of something that Walter Williams said recently.  Basically, he stated that he believed it may already be too late for America.  He believes it is possible the socialists have already won, that their power is already too well entrenched for conservatives to ever reverse what has become a very troubling trend in America, a trend that is accelerating.

To some extent, I agree with Walter Williams.  Like most conservatives, I believe that our Constitutional Republic, fought and died for by our forefathers, is in grave danger of being overwhelmed by socialist forces, but I don't believe that we have already passed the tipping point beyond which there will be no returning to a constitutional government.

I do believe that time is very short. If we don't manage to gain strong conservative, not Republican, conservative, majorities in both houses and the presidency within two, or at most three, election cycles, it will, in all likelihood, be too late.

But it might be as little as one cycle.  If we do not succeed in 2012, it may indeed be too late, so we can ill afford to spare any effort in brining these things to pass.

When I hear that the government is paying out to individuals and families more that it receives in tax revenues, it scares me to death.  When I hear that there are nearly twice as many government jobs in the U.S. as manufacturing jobs, it scares me to death.  And, when I read that nearly 50% of Americans pay no taxes at all, it scares me to death, as it should scare any conservative who loves the country he or she grew up in, and not the unrecognizable monstrosity it is being transformed into by the current occupant of the White House and his cronies.

I believe that we are at a crossroads in this nation.  We can either sit back and let things continue until the U.S. is indistinguishable from one of the European socialist nations, or, we can do what must be done, quickly

In closing, I would like to quote Ronald Reagan as he talks about what is truly as stake should we fail:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
