Three things occurred to me as I watched the cat fight that passed for the South Carolina presidential debate Monday night. First, I kept waiting for Michael Vick to show up to referee. He didn’t. But Billary arrived on scene with her claws fully extended, in predator mode, sniffing the air for the scent of blood. No tears were in evidence from any of the candidates, although it was Obama’s turn to play the victim as he complained about the shrill-voiced venom queen distorting his voting record. Would someone please tell me when either of the Clintons didn’t carefully reshape the facts to suit their own version of reality? Oh…the lovely John Edwards tried to emit an occasional hiss but, having long since been declawed, he left no scratches or visible marks on either Mr. Clinton’s wife or the utterly contemporary looking Barry Hussein.
The second realization was the level of enjoyment I experienced at seeing such glaring evidence of the chaos that has now beset the Democrats. Vicious personal attacks abounded as they bared fangs over topics from the current economy to the state of the battle in Iraq. They rarely mentioned a subject that wouldn’t already have been addressed by the time any of them took office, pretty much avoiding actual campaign issues and never mentioning a word about national security or The Global War On Terror. While backstabbing was abundant, substantive information was in short supply.
Most of what I came away with when the dust had cleared and the phony smiles were put away was the feeling of fear for the future of America. My third and over-riding impression of the fiasco I had just witnessed was confirmation of the danger these three people present to our American way of life. Even in the short span of four years, with any one of these European Socialists at the controls, we wouldn’t recognize what is left of this country. “We must make it clear to people how the government will solve their problems,” the queen of collectivism has said. She has also been known to regurgitate, “From each according to his means, to each according to his need”…straight out of Karl Marx.
The government has no business sticking its fingers into any of our affairs! I don’t want to live in Utopia; I want to live in America. I don’t want to stand in line for medical treatment or be told if I can even receive it; when I’m sick I just want to go to the doctor. I don’t want to apply to the government for permission to drive a particular kind of car, live in a certain kind of house or use a specific type of lightbulb. I don’t want regulation and mandates; I want freedom. I’ll work out my own solutions to my own problems thank you…just leave me enough money with which to do it.
I was sorry to see the only true Conservative pull out of the presidential race today. Fred Thompson threw in the towel for personal reasons. With the aforementioned Democrat stooges, and ‘Republicans In Name Only’ like Huckabee and McCain edging ever closer to the White House, Fred represented our first best hope for the honest application of Reagan principals within our government. I hope someone, at least, drafts him for Vice President.
Make no mistake about it…the three people scratching and clawing at each other last night want power over every aspect of your life. They believe in redistribution of wealth, governmental controls, destruction of private enterprise, social regulation, high taxes and a government of men, not of laws. Does this seem contrary to the ideas of our founding fathers; maybe just a bit like Communism? Given the office they seek, Clinton, Obama or Edwards would lead a stampede to trample the Constitution and with it our liberty. In matters of policy, there’s not a nickel’s worth of difference between them. That’s why they’re all so dangerous.
Listen closely to what it is they’re really proposing and remember…no one knows better than you what is best for you!
