Obama got that part right. Precipice = 1. A very steep or overhanging place. 2. A hazardous situation. Our country is teetering on the edge of socialism. Will we become a socialist country or remain capitalist.
Thinking of a precipice at this time of year, for a gal in my generation, brings visions of the Grinch. The Grinch brought all the presents to the top of Mount Crumpet. Will Obama dump our entire country over the edge of the precipice? Or will some little thing hold us back. One or 2 votes in the Senate, perhaps? One small thread to carry the hope of a nation.
These are dark days for those who believe in freedom. For those with an independent spirit. For those who believe that American means the promise of Equal Opportunity, not Equal Outcomes. The Entitlement Czars are in charge of the Treasury. Our debt almost equals our annual income already. Is this any way to run the place?
Anyone who would throw away capitalism for socialism is a Grinch. For the simple reason that our children will not be born into the Land of Opportunity like we were. They will live in a place that is different. Changed. A place with far less Hope.
