Just Say No

Imagine your are a passenger in a car. The driver is heading toward a cliff. You and the driver's death is eminent. What do you do? Say nothing and let the driver just drive off the cliff? Or do the common sense thing and yell, "Stop the car and turn around! You are driving off the cliff!" Of course, you could also jump out of the car and save yourself but for this thought experiment let's say you can't do that for whatever reasons. 

You could also grab the wheel and steer the car around after yelling to stop the car if the driver doesn't stop the car. The driver will of course get mad at you and accuse you with interfering with his driving. His anger will continue until he sees the cliff he was about to go over. 

If you substitute the car for America, Obama for the driver, and the Republicans or any congresspeople who are opposing Obama's agenda as the passenger then you have the situation in this country now. The Left accuse the Republicans of just saying no. I hope for this country they keep saying no to Obama as long as he is not looking out for the country's welfare. Someone has to say no. Someone has to yell, "Stop the car!" even if they get criticized and mocked for it.  The Right should come up with alternatives too. And they have. That's the "grabbing the wheel" part of my analogy.   If Obama is not going to look out for the country, someone in Congress better. That's their duty. Because the car is heading right for the cliff. 

To sum up, countrymen should not let their fellow countrymen destroy the country's economy or the founding principles of the country.
