Nothing makes conditions more unbearable than the knowledge  that no effort of ours can change them - Friedrich Hayek

     Before Obama was even elected, I was very depressed about the future of our country.  I had the choice of voting for one man who was way left of my beliefs in most areas and someone who was so far left he couldn’t even see my beliefs.  It seemed there was nothing that could be done to change our destination, the only choice we had was how fast we were going to get there.

     Once Obama was elected, it seemed that the best case scenario would be that he only did minimal damage during his term and would inspire a conservative renaissance similar to Jimmy Carter’s imcompetence ushering in the era of Reagan.  This didn’t seem very likely though considering the majority the Democrats have in Congress and the popularity Obama seemed to be riding.  Not to mention the fact that there don’t seem to be many real conservatives left on the Republican side of the bench either.

     Lately though, I feel better.  Americans are standing up and showing they don’t need the government’s help to bring about “change”.  Here in American, people can still change their conditions through their own efforts, and they are doing so.  Some of them voted for the “change” promised by Obama.  They have decided they don’t like his brand of change.  In just a few short weeks, American have accomplished more “change” than Congress has in years. 

     Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe created enough discussion that Congress and the Census Bureau have taken action against ACORN.  ACORN should have been investigated at least ten years (and millions of dollars) ago. 

     Green Jobs Czar Van Jones was forced to resign.  Now, Representative Patrick McHenry wants the Czars to testify before Congress and face some sort of vetting process.  That should have been done the first time a President tried to grant authority and a budget of our tax money to a staff member that hadn’t been approved by…well anyone.

     Obama and the Democrats wanted to force a healthcare bill through before anyone could read it or expose what was in it.  A health care bill may still pass but it will be a bill that has been exposed to scrutiny, and a Democratic Party that has now also been exposed.

     There’s a lesson in this.  It’s a lesson people throughout the world have to learn over and over again.  Let’s see if anyone in D.C. has learned it.  The lesson is…One should never underestimate what can be accomplished by a few angry Americans.
