Are people getting dumber by the minute or is America infected with some sort of fatal virus, the onset of which causes complete factual blindness? I don’t place much stock in polls, most of which are weighted to shape opinion rather than report it, but if we are to believe the latest trends, I’ll soon be marketing a home do-it-yourself lobotomy kit because the public can be suckered into anything!
You want change? Well, we’re being served two different dishes: A nourishing diet of experienced, evolutionary progress on one hand and, on the other, dangerous helpings of extremist ideology that give you two nickels and a dime for a quarter, while placing your family’s safety at risk for the good of the few. Politics has a short menu.
Much of the problem lies in the fact that most people started paying attention to the campaigns only a few weeks ago and most of their information comes from the morning paper or the eleven o’clock news. They mistake known facts about Obama’s radical alliances, many of which came to light several months ago, as some kind of last ditch Republican effort to discredit him. Their “gimme’ some mania” combined with a complete media sellout masks Obama’s own failed European Socialist philosophies as something new and different. While John McCain looks forward to a future of freedom and renewed American greatness, Barack Hussein Obama robotically marches to the tunes of Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin with children mindlessly singing his praises, much as they paid tribute to Hitler in the 1930s and 40s.
If Obama’s own words to ‘Joe The Plumber’ about redistribution of wealth don’t make you cringe; if Biden’s warnings about his inexperience and guarantees of a world crisis should Obama be elected don’t terrify you; if promises to raise taxes and $100 billion in new spending don’t infuriate you; if all that doesn’t send a chilling message to the electorate, then they deserve whatever they get and have no right to complain when they get it. The problem is, those of us with rational, functioning minds have to pay the price right along with the mentally challenged. If you haven’t heard the Mark Levin “Rules For Radicals” audio segment, I urge you to listen and learn before it’s too late.
When you have a Democrat Congress with an anemic 9% approval rating, which has done nothing of value since they gained dominance, does it make any sense to vote for an even greater Democrat majority? When you’ve been criticized for clinging to your guns, bibles and holding on to your values … when you’ve been labeled as “redneck racists” as have the good people of Pennsylvania, do you really want to give these elitist hacks power over your lives? Michigan really takes the cake. They’ve been the poster child for recession since the 90s under Democrat incompetents. So far, they’re leaning toward the very same Party that has cast them helplessly adrift and now wants to slam the lid and flush the bowl!
Even as I travel around my own area, I notice the deeper I get into blue collar neighborhoods the more Obama lawn signs I see. It is said that an abused child tends to gravitate toward the abuser; I can only assume that the same syndrome is at work here. Why else would intelligent, hard-working people believe the tales being spun by the very political entities which, in truth, look down on them and will hurt them the most?
Maybe it’s too late to market that do-it-yourself lobotomy thing after all. Just in case you’ve already experimented with one, don’t worry about poking your finger into the wound … there’s nothing in there.

George Bush’s Legacy
Everyone knows that George Washington was our country’s first president; but will George Bush be the last president of a free and democratic America? We will decide that question on November 4th.
Socialism is merely a ’soft’ term for Communism. Instituting that failed ideology is the change Barack Obama and an unchecked Democrat majority in Congress would make. Obama himself has made this quite clear. He talks about collectivist cornerstones like redistribution of wealth, more government control and calls our Constitution a “flawed document which doesn’t go far enough”. There is even talk of a new Bill of Rights that will state what the government can do “on your behalf”.
The original documents, which have guided America to greatness for more than 200 years, intentionally limit the power of government to prevent a recurrence of the tyranny our Founding Fathers experienced under British rule. It is that same tyranny Obama and the Democrats would reintroduce through bigger, stronger government with less liberty for the rest of us. Keep in mind: no one knows what is best for you, better than you!
For those who may be too young to understand the meaning of Socialism or too old to remember the evils of Communism, which enslaved Russia and many Central European countries throughout the last half of the 20th Century, let me give you a brief description. It is a practice whereby government takes away your freedom and person rights, including those of speech, deed and ownership. The government then controls your life instead of you. It is a system that, by its very nature, stifles personal initiative and inhibits progress. It does not take wealth from the rich and give it to the poor in the fabled fashion of Robin Hood; rather, Socialism takes away from the middle class and gives to no one, thereby making everyone equally miserable. Eventually, the middle class simply disappears. This is the way it works, no matter what Liberal politicians or college professors tell you. Don’t believe me, just look around the world!
The thing that amazes me is how blind the American people have become…how self-involved, mindless and gullible. Jews, who said, “Never again!” after the Holocaust in the 1940s are ready to vote for Obama who is a friend to Palestinians and doesn’t view Iran as a threat. Blue collar workers, who stand to be hurt most by higher taxes and lost jobs, are looking to Obama’s inexperience and empty promises, instead of trusting John McCain’s steady hand.
Blacks who decry slavery, during the early years of this country, are ready to sell themselves back into obedience just because the task master happens to be of their skin color. May I remind you that it was Blacks who originally sold their brothers and sisters to the White slavers? Let me also remind you that Barack Obama is NOT fully African-American? He has an equal amount of White genetic material coursing through his veins and made a choice to be Black. In today’s society, he could have just as easily opted for a different self-image.
By any other color, at the end of the day, Obama is simply a radical like William Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi, Father Flager or any of his other friends and associates. Like them, he represents a danger to America and the precious freedom we have always enjoyed in this country but have so easily take for granted. Either protect it on November 4th or be prepared to lose it!
Be prepared to lose your freedom of speech, right to bear arms and ownership of personal property. Be prepared to be told how to live, where to live, where to work, how much you can earn, what kind of car to drive, what doctor to see (or if you can see one at all), which medications you’re permitted, what schools you can attend, which books you’re allowed to read, how to vote, and which investments the government will make to fund your meager retirement. This is just for openers. Obama’s appointment of Liberal judges will make it an easy transition for courts’ jurisdictions to include legislative as well as legal powers. Then they can do anything to us! Excuse me. Barack says, “On our behalf.”
We already see a creeping Socialism with the government all but nationalizing banks, mortgages and real estate, regulating the auto industry and laying ground work to nationalize our oil industry. In addition to legislation and judicial fiat, just about anything can be mandated in the catch-all category of global warming! If more power is needed, it can be obtained by gutting the First and Second Amendments as well as constructing a new Obama Bill of Rights.
At a pivotal time in the history of our Republic, when we most need a strong leader, be wary of electing a mere messenger…a messenger who speaks with a forked tongue…who carries false promises and offers dreams that, in truth, only you yourself can fulfill. However you think George Bush should be remembered, don’t let his legacy be America’s epitaph.
