Time is getting short, so I’m going to give you two reasons in one rant as to why it’s vital to freedom and democracy that we do not elect Barack Hussein Obama as our next President.
In a democracy, the public has a right to demand the highest level of character from those chosen to govern. In this area, the American public has failed miserably in recent memory. From Congressmen who confuse public service with pubic service, to a President who can’t define the word “is” (or the appropriate use of cigars), we’ve had our share of politicians who are great examples of bad examples. And yet we still make our choices in the voting booth based on the sizzle of slick ads rather than the content of one’s character. And if we are to believe the polls, we are about to make the MOTHER of all mistakes in choosing a leader.
In order to hold Obama accountable, we first have to determine who he is. Yet while the media in this country sends hoards of reporters to Alaska to see if they can dig up some sort of scandal on Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin (you will note that they came up empty-handed for all their efforts), they have repeatedly let Barack Obama slide by completely unchallenged. This allows for a level of arrogance that can lead to a politician’s unchecked agenda that threatens our very democracy. In the case of Obama, the signs are all there.
As the most recent example of the arrogance of the Obama campaign, they have banned Orlando Television station WFTV from any further interviews after Reporter Barbara West asked Vice-Presidential Candidate Senator Joe Biden several tough questions. After West read a quote from Karl Marx, (“From Each according to his ability, to each according to their needs”) Biden was asked why Barack Obama’s comment about sharing the wealth to “Joe The Plumber” wouldn’t be seen as Marxist in nature.
The question caught Biden off-guard and his immediate response was, “Are you kidding?” A stern-faced West simply replied, “No.”
For the first time I can remember, the Obama campaign has finally been asked a direct question by the mainstream media that was designed to shine a spotlight on their agenda. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the media DOING THEIR JOBS. And the Obama campaign couldn’t handle it! Imagine just how arrogant they will be once in office!
What is Obama’s solution to a responsible media asking responsible questions? “Cut them off! Punish them!”
As for the topic of redistributing the wealth, Socialist style, Let’s put this in layman’s terms, OK, comrades? Obama refers to Jesus Christ as the ultimate community organizer. Ah, get the subliminal link, folks? Obama… community organizer – Jesus Christ… ultimate community organizer?
I’m not here to argue religious interpretation; however, I will state here categorically, a simple fundamental truth that Obama, with his Harvard education, just doesn’t get (or chooses to ignore for political expedience); Jesus taught that we should voluntarily give to those less fortunate, not give to a government bureaucracy to redistribute as the bureaucracy sees fit. Historically, American has established themselves as the most generous people on earth. When we, as Americans, see others in need, we give out of the generosity of our hearts. According to Obama’s share the wealth approach, it is the GOVERNMENT’S job to take the money from those they feel should be taxed, and then the government will decide to whom it will go.
Sorry Obama… Louis Farrakhan may have christened you “The Messiah” recently, but as election day draws near, we still see you more and more for the fraud you are and for the fraud you intend to perpetrate upon the American people. And that’s something we all need to think about long and hard before we cast our vote.
