Overcoming OOFS - The Dread Crippler of Conservative Minds In the Obama Era

Yes, my posts slowed a bit this past week. The reason is that I have come down with OOFS - Obama Outrage Fatigue Syndrome. There is no cure for OOFS, but there is HOPE. Some days, I just want to give in to the urge to go 24 hours without feeling outraged at what is going on in Washington. So I avoid the paper and the cable news. Of course, I know it is wrong. At this, of all times, we must all soldier on, even those of us with OOFS.

We are in the most critical phase of Obama's presidency, and he and his allies in Congress certainly know it. They know they must shove all of the socialist, anti-free market, entitlement-oriented, soak-the-rich, squeeze the middle-class programs they can down the throat of the Democrat controlled federal government, as fast as they can. The President's polls are already sliding, moderate Democrats in Congress are getting frightened, people are beginning to ask inconvenient questions. It will be much harder, even six months from now, for the Democrats to impose this left-wing agenda on an American populace this is still essentially conservative in its world view.

So fight on friends. Make sure everyone you meet knows what is going on. Ask them if they think it is right and if it is going to make America a better place or a worse one. Use examples like California and Illinois to illustrate where we as a nation are headed under the Democrat agenda. Urge your representatives in Washington to do what they can to slow down the Obama juggernaut. Time is not on the President's side. If he is ever forced to slow down and defend his policies, he will have a much harder time enacting them.
