A certain percentage of Americans have spoken. What are we to expect from an Obama presidency? We’ve brought together a few things that you need to be on guard about. If the banning of opposition media from Obama’s plane is any indication of what is to come, then the truth may be more difficult to find.

• Source of Information: Watch carefully to see if conservative media lose their place in an Obama presidency. If Fox News and others are shut out from the White House press corps and only the liberal media remain; it will be more difficult to find the truth.
• Watch for the abolishment of the Posse Comitatus Act: The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. On July 2, 2008, Obama said: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”  {Emphasis added.}
• Watch for changes to the Insurrection Act; The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the set of laws that govern the President of the United States of America’s ability to deploy troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. There have been dangerous modifications to that Act already. Watch and see if it gets watered down more or if your civil liberties fade away.
• Increase in FCC authority: If the FCC suddenly starts censoring media outlets that “go against” the will of the state; we’re headed for deep trouble.
• Celebrations from unusual audiences: If Hamas, Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations start to dance in the streets and celebrate our new electorate; tinges of buyer’s remorse may start to settle in. An article on a well read counterterrorism blog has an interesting viewpoint.

A quote by Jonathan Falwell really struck home. Some folks may have just put into office America’s first “made for TV” president.

Unbridled by true religion and the moral knowledge that follows, the current political season reveals that the majority of Americans may have finally succumbed to self–destructive gluttony. Thus their choice on Tuesday may represent what Plato feared: that the masses, uninformed by [moral] reason, have been easily swayed by the emotional and deceptive rhetoric of ambitious politicians.

Does the phrase “emotional and deceptive rhetoric” sound a lot like what you’ve been fed by the mainstream liberal press? It makes us wonder if the uninformed masses will wake up and wonder what they brought home with them last evening.

A minority of voters believed that moral issues are the main focus and that government should play a limited role in our lives. In other words, those are the people who believe in a free constitional republic. The majority of voters, led to the polls by hook or by crook, increasingly look for that government handout to solve all of their problems. They lack in self-initiative and are purely existing for the entitlements. That abhorrent behavior results in a socialist democracy closer to what is seen across Western Europe. One needs to heed the words of Benjamin Franklin: “When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” A “spread-the-wealth” president just got elected.

We leave you with a couple of quotes from one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson”

First of all, we at Sensible Life are hoping that we never have to learn what it would be like to have a socialist in the White House. Our heart aches for the preservation of democracy in America.

We’ve pulled together some interesting things for you to consider:

1. A Federal Communications Commission investigation of on-air military analysts is providing a glimpse of what Democrats and an Obama administration will do to critics once they capture Washington.
2. Comrade Obama: Under his tax plan, the top 5 percent of wage-earners have their income tax rates raised from 35 percent to 40 percent, while the bottom 40 percent of all wage-earners, who pay no income tax, are sent federal checks. Enforced egalitarianism entails the death of excellence. For it seizes the rewards that excellence earns and turns them over to politicians and bureaucrats for distribution to the mediocrities upon whose votes they depend.
3. Obama on the war on terror: Just how dangerous will an Obama presidency be for America?
4. Obama’s first 100 days - a slow and deliberate destruction of American democracy?

Finally, we leave you with a prayer posted on Townhall.com by “SmoothTalker:”

Dear GOD…As you look upon this world, and shake your head; know there are those who continue to keep you in their hearts.  For the last fort-five years or so, we have experienced a decline in morals and and Christian values.  Our USA Government has increasingly allowed YOU to be separated, and cut off from this great nation, by imposing laws to suppress YOUR WORD.  We have court cases involving “speeches in schools”, the displaying of “crosses and The Ten Commandants”, and countless other situations where people have openly proclaimed their allegiance to YOU.

We are in a crisis on so many fronts in this great land of America.  At the crossroads stands freedom to pursue the American Dream, or Government Control, to allow us only what is considered acceptable in their view.  Our election process has been hijacked by liberal media, and will not inform the American people of important “issues” they need to know to make an informed choice on Election Day.

Race has become a factor, although both Parties will deny this.  You made all men in YOUR likeness, and YOU have no color preference.  Please remind us as we go to vote, that color is only skin deep, and it is character and values that count on Election Day.  People have turned a blind eye to “issues”, and want to make this election all about voting in the first black President.  There are more qualified and deserving black candidates in our country, who will come to the forefront.  Is it more important to vote for color than the well being of this entire country?

YOU know our future, and YOU have a plan.  Keep us in the palm of your hand as we make a choice that will affect generations.  Know that whatever happens on November 4, YOUR loyal children will continue to fight for our right to defend YOUR WORD.

Watch over us and keep us safe in these uncertain times…YOUR WILL BE DONE!

Cal Thomas postulated an interesting idea over on Crosswalk.com today. His post entitled, “The Dirty Little Secret Behind Gov’t Programs,” should prompt any rational person to question the proposals put forth by Obama and his liberal Democrat buddies.

We have as many poor people now as we had when the so-called great society began. If all of these government programs are so good, why haven’t they reduced the poverty level and caused more people to fend for themselves? The truth is that liberals addict people to their programs in order to gain their votes. If they were ever to succeed, they would no longer need government.

Now that’s a fact that you won’t see in the mainstream media.
