The 2012 Presidential Race, Beat Obama or Lose America

The election in 2012 is not just about Republicans and Democrats. It's about the future of our country and the freedoms that many of us still hold dear.

America, the idea is about freedom. Freedom to make one's own destiny. Freedom to choose. Freedom to go where you want, eat what you want, and engage in any activity that you want as long as your freedom doesn't infringe on the freedom of others.

But that is changing. America is becoming less and less the land of the free and the home of the brave and more and more the land of social programs and bigger and bigger government. government at its core is the antithesis of freedom. In other words, government's purpose is to restrict freedom, therefore as government gets bigger and gets more power freedom starts to disappear because those that govern view it as their responsibility to make sure their subjects don't do the things they don't want them to do.

The election in 201o helped stem the tide of the government, but we need more than just stopping the rising of this horrific wave of government control. We need to completely reverse it and instead of growing government into more areas like healthcare, we need to shrink government. The American people need to wake up to the fact that while the Obama family throws parties in the Whitehouse, there are serious issues dangers that are threatening freedom as we've known it.

Huckabee 2012: Ready, Set Go!

I think that the likelihood of a President Huckabee in 2012 has now risen a ton. In fact, if Huckabee was a stock, and you could buy it, I would say "buy, buy, buy." The reasons are simple but the simple reason is really this, there was a red Republican wave that swept into Congress on Tuesday and that wave will almost definitely sweep the Senate and the Whitehouse in 2012. There is a growing sentiment in the country that Washington needs serious change. And while most of the 2008 GOP candidates spouted out mostly similar ideas for how that change should take place, Huckabee was one of the only ones that actually took a bold stand for change.

Huckabee was the only Candidate that advocated for the Fairtax, which is a forward thinking tax that stops taxing productivity. It is supposed to be revenue neutral, which could be debatable, but it could definitely be adjusted to a point where it would help address major problems such as the deficit and high unemployment.

Probably one of the biggest obstacles Huckabee will face will be the Tea Party and Sarah Palin who have been a rising and driving force in the Republican party. He has a strong support among some of these people as well, but the question will definitely be whether or not his support is strong enough to propel him to an Iowa victory and beyond.

I think that Huckabee has a really good chance at 2012 and the next few months will give us a better idea of whether he intends to run or not.
