The Enemy Within

On January 20th, America let the enemy in the door. We can't imagine him not being our friend. We can't imagine him not wanting the best for us. We can't imagine him wanting us to fail. These are things that Americans, as eternal optimists, don't possess the ability to admit to ourselves. But it's there. The enemy has entered our house, like the vampire movies of old. We were safe as long as we didn't invite him in. Now there is nothing we can do until we have driven a symbolic stake throught the heart of his philisophical beliefs. The America that the founders gave of was one of liberty, freedom. Freedom to succeed or fail. Freedom to be. When declaring our independence from the tyranny of King George, Thomas Jefferson wrote this, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The PURSUIT of happiness. Our founders did not GUARANTEE happiness, only the ability, thorough our liberty, to pursue whatgeach of us deem to be our version of happiness. For many decades, but now culminating with "the rising" our government has moved to guarantee "happiness." If you have the nerve to have found happiness, you are doing that at the expense of those who are not happy. As such, the government has decided that your happiness needs to be diminished to make those who are not as happy, feel better. All of our institutions are under attack to make this happen. The government, led by Barack Obama and his minions, are very swiftly creating a fascist dictatorship. Fascism? Isn't that a little extreme?? Here's the definition of fascism:
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship. What part of that definition doesn't fit the current administration?

Heaven

Love this song. Especially the chorus, for obvious reasons.

Massillon Football

This was the end. It just wasn't meant to be this season. Glenville was loaded, but we could have gotten the job done.

Massillon Football

It was a fun season. Fourteen weeks is a long time, but it was worth it. This game was one of the better moments in my life. Beating McKinley beats everything!!
