What's At Stake In This Presidential Election

As Stephen Stills sang in Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth", John Hinderaker writes that there's battle lines being drawn in this election. The choice is clear:

"If you think 'the private sector is doing fine,' then you probably also think that steadily losing ground, with more and more Americans facing economic distress, means 'moving in the right direction.' Actually, the only ones who think we are moving in the right direction are those who want to increase dependence on government. If you want more Americans on food stamps; more on disability; more on welfare; ever-increasing unemployment rates for minorities and the young; more on unemployment compensation; more begging in the streets–then, yes, Barack Obama is the candidate for you. Many Democrats actually want such failure, such dependence, to increase, because it will add to the power of government and therefore the power and financial dominance of their party. That is why the Obama administration is urging its supporters to sponsor in-home food stamp parties, much like Tupperware parties, to try to increase enrollment in that program, so that Obama can go down in history as the Food Stamp President.
If these indices are not your idea of progress, then the choice couldn’t be clearer. If you haven’t already donated to the Romney campaign, you should go here and do so."

And in this article, you can see that Obama's kind of "change" isn't the kind we want, if this is the result: "Not only are we a nation of takers, we may increasingly be a nation of malingerers." We need to reverse this decline, before it's too late.
