Ramblings of a Prophet

In 2009 there are some large changes that are going to happen in the united states, with Bush leaving and Obama being elected.  Now as far as my political affiliation I am a conservative, but not because I’m anti-liberal, I just happen to believe the same as them.  As you might imagine it is hard, living in California, a very liberal state, but i really don’t care, but i do find the “A New Dawn” plates quite offensive.  Anyway, to the changes, I think that Obama will try and tackle the economy first, probably with more “bail outs”  which don’t seem to be too effective thus far, but they could be worse.  Then i do believe he will try to socialize health care,  so we all have to pay for the illegal immigrants.  Not to mention all the jobs that would be lost at the insurance companies.  The next thing to go is the right to bear arms, which is protect by our very Constitution, am i the only one seeing a problem with this?

I did a search on Google and in under 5 minuets i found out that only 12% of violent crimes were with guns, and of the gun related offenses, 80% were illegal guns, so tightening the noose on guns would not elp very much.  The reason i believe that restricting more guns wouldn’t help is that if you are going to shoot someone, would you use a gun registered and licensed to you, or an illegal gun that has no affiliation to you?  Also if you are convicted of assault, adding on a weapons charge wouldn’t change the sentence but a little bit.

Addressing the socialized medicine, and general socialist leanings, how can anybody possibly think this is a good idea, it didn’t work in Russia, and in countless other countries, how can anybody think it will work here, it is arrogant everything America stands for.  And i do remember several politician talking about how the government is corrupt, and these people want the government to control every part of our life.  I really fail to see how this makes sense…

As a minor most of these laws wont affect me, but i think the gun law could be very bad, for people who need a gun for legitimate protection, if they live in a bad neighborhood.  And i am a gun enthusiast, so that could be a major irritation.
