Republicans complain that Democrats campaigned for big government, more spending, more federal control, committing suicide by passing the Health Care Bill, not listening to Republicans, and that they want their country back. And that President Obama put America on the wrong track will have consequences.

Apparently they have forgotten that President Obama was elected into the office as the other 43 White Male Presidents. So why the rhetoric, “We want our country back.” This is nothing new. The Native Americans want their country back.

Latino’s want Texas back, Blacks want their ancestor’s free labor, names, language, and their family linage back. The elderly wants their youthful mobility back, and the horse wants the rider off his back, back.

Moreover the continent of Africa wants its diamonds, gold, and other precious resources back. The earth wants its flesh back from man. The air wants its radio and television waves and frequencies back.

The sky wants its air space back. The clouds want its water drops back. The Volcanoes want their ash and minerals back. The sun wants its sun rays of life back.

Parents want their deceased children back. The Forest wants its trees back. Vegetation wants its oxygen back; honey bees want their honey and pollination back. The streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans want their fish and boundaries back.

And God want everything back and so the story goes on, and on, and as Paul Harvey would say, and now for the rest of the story.

Our 44th President did not take our country, any more than the other 43 White Male Presidents. This great conservative internal mental conceptional takeover is only within the minds of people with flat spots in their head that rejects change. And only God knows what else.
