Well its over, the DNC has nothing left to do but crown Obama as the saviour of the Democratic party and turn him loose on the electorate at large to see how he fares against McCain. Hillary has stepped aside, for now, and the hunt for a VP is ongoing in both camps. The people, the party, the family, the media, the hype, and the Oprah have all done their level best to deify Obama. Obama is being billed as nothing less than the second coming. He is being put on a pedestal that is a bit too high. He is being sold as our nations salvation. He appears to masses of people who swoon like he has healing powers and his offer of hope and change are being carried by the sounds of trumpets. Let us suppose for a moment that this is true, and Obama has arrived on a cloud of proclamation. What will happen next is the opening of the seven seals. The first four of these seals release the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
First seal is opened : a white horse appears, its rider held a tax increase with which to burden the common man. The rider claimed it would only increase taxes on the rich who could afford it but rich was defined so vaguely that anyone with a career was rich and the cost of these taxes was passed down to the poor who could not causing global economic collapse. The first rider bore the name Pelosi.
Second seal is opened : a red horse appears, its rider holds a stop sign. This sign has the power to stop all economic growth, stop all progress exploring new technology, stop all business expansion, and stop any remaining culture of self reliance. All things moving forward will come to a stop so we have more time to sit around feeling good about ourselves instead of being productive. The red horse bore the name Kennedy.
Third seal is opened: a black horse appears, its rider holds a pair of scales. These scales represent famine. The famine that will cover the globe as our farms fail just as our business systems collapsed. On the scales are wheat and barley, both of which are weighted down on the other side by a green orb that represents an over warmed earth. The wheat and barley were grown organically but in such small quantity that it was not enough to feed even us let alone the world. The black horse bore the name Gore.
Fourth seal is opened : a pale horse appears, its rider is called Death. Death was brought out to the American dream. The dream that was built upon self reliance and a belief in God. Death was brought to the economy that was driven buy people who were willing to risk their all in order to bring a new product to market. Death was brought to the work ethic that has been gasping for air these last few decades as we slip into a society that believes its entitled to a free ride. The pale horse bore the name Clinton.
As gas prices continue to rise and foreign unrest continues to brew take my moms advise and go stock up on some flour and canned peaches. You can always sift the bugs out through a window screen.
Please do not take this little parody too seriously and please don't take it as an endorsement for McCain. The point is just this, Obama is simply another silver tongued politician who is selling you a bill of goods called hope and change. If you are seeking salvation, seek Jesus. Obama is just one more charlatan snake oil salesman with big promises and little substance. No matter who gets the nod, Obama or McCain, we are in for a bumpy ride unless we the people stand up and demand some fixes, fixes the government cant do. Its up to us, not Washington.
