WHAT AUDACITY!
WHO IS THIS MAN WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA? QUALIFICATIONS?
Obama is hailed by the USA young people, who are finally old enough to vote, like celeberties. They seem carried away with the privilege ... without knowing or understanding what is really at stake here ... unsure of the seriousness of what we are really voting for. This is dangerous ... as their numbers are many. This is not class officer election ... THIS ELECTION WILL CHOOSE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE UNIVERSE ... THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS THE PERSON WHO WILL PROTECT US AND KEEP US FREE. Do these young people realize the seriousness of their vote?
It is time the older generation, The Greatest Generation woke up and began to voice their opinions ... loud and clear. It is time for Senator McCain to take off the gloves and start swinging ... hard ... standing tough ... telling it like it really is ... revealing Barack Obama's shady backgroud, lack of experience, little accomplishments. We remember the devastation Hitler brought on Germany and what Castro did to Cuba ... how they both hoodwinked the people, then when in office, enslaved their people, putting them in chains and prisons, taking away their freedom, confiscating their property, murdered thousands, destroyed their homeland and its people.
We really know little about Barack Obama ... few ever heard of him before the election ... and what has he accomplished to be running for President of this great land? He hasn't even been in the Senate long enough to pass any legislation ... has been absent for most of the Senate votes, has spent most of his term raising money and running for office. How can a man with no record of accomplishments consider himself ready to lead our powerful nation? He grew rich in office hoarding illegal money, along with several of his colleagues. The USA carried him along, blessing him with privileges ... like ivy league educations ... it goes on and on. When our children had the grades and could afford finer colleges, they couldn't be admitted as their quota of international students were priority ... our students had to wait while places meant for our children were given to un-Americans. It is not fair. Our campuses are filled with international students. We sacrificed to send 5 children to college, paying our way ... even paying double when out of state. Many foreign students are receiving free educations, paid for by our taxpayers. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE PEOPLE?
Our country is suffering from apathy. We are spoiled, everything is too convenient. If we do not protect our country, this could all disappear. If we elect the wrong president, one who does not honor our American ways ... our flag ... our National Anthem ... our servicemen who are sacrificing their lives to keep us free, we could wake up one morning and find a very different country than we have today. While we sit blindly and idly by ...everything we know and love could just slip away. It is frightening to say the least.
I cannot believe what is happening to our country. Where is our pride and courage? As a child, we prayed every morning in school, said The Pledge of Allegiance, and sang patriotic songs ... it was wartime, WWII and all the children saved cans and paper, rubber and took turns standing in our lookout tower at school to search for strange planes. We grew victory gardens, rationed food, gas, sugar, coffee, most everything. Kids had little candy or gum. We shared our rations. We cared about each other, checked the Honor Roll daily to see who was new on the roster or missing ... or, God forbid, killed. The whole town suffered the losses ... we knew most of the boys.
To this day, I thank God for all our brave men who served our country well and fought to keep us free. When the old vets march by, I want to get down on my hands and knees and kiss the ground they walk on. They are the true heroes ... our servicemen and our astronauts. Obama said, in his book, if elected and things were not going well, his loyalties would be with the Muslims. Now what kind of man is that who wants to be President of the United States of America? WAKE UP PEOPLE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS OUR PEOPLE TO CHOOSE OUR LEADERS WELL! GOD BLESS OUR TROUPS! GOD BLESS US ALL!

The Republicans blew it.
Under the watchful eye of G.W. Bush, the federal debt has ballooned from five to ten trillion dollars* - and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The scary part is the "unfunded" liabilities that will come due in the coming years. Some estimates put it at as high as 50 trillion dollars in the next ten years - but nobody really knows for sure. Current estimates put next years budget deficit (just to maintain current programs and automatic increases) at another one trillion dollars. Is this a conservative president? I think not. The only difference between Bush and a future Obama Presidency is where looted booty will be spent.
As for John McCain, ... this guy is the best the Republicans have to offer? What is he going to do differently than G.W.? What has he said that gives any indication that he understands fiscal responsibility? The only reason to prefer McCain over Obama is the prospect of "gridlock" between a socialist Democratic Congress and a socialist Republican White House.
It is true that Obama, while charismatic and articulate, is an un-qualified socialist megalomaniac. The tsunami of social engineering and entitlement legislation following an Obama election will be unprecedented in the history of the U.S.. The only possible check on government social spending will be the unwillingness of foreign governments to loan the U.S. ever increasing amounts of money in the face of a U.S. currency and economic collapse. An Obama Presidency is a scary thought indeed.
But to the average, ignorant American, Obama represents the only visible alternative to a known problem. Unless a citizen spends more than fifteen minutes investigating the country's problems, they would never realize that there are alternatives to the Demo-publican oligopoly party offered up by the mainstream media. But who has more than fifteen minutes to investigate political issues when there's so much good "reality" programming to watch.
The only candidate running for office that had any clue regarding the solutions to our nations impending doom was Ron Paul. Unfortunately you don't get elected to public office by telling the American public that we're on the verge of a crisis and it's going to take a lot of hard work and sacrifice to turn things around. Nobody wants to hear that.
Americans forgot a long time ago that the flip side of the liberty coin is called personal responsibility. The recent "Wall Street Bail Out" is typical of the thought process that transfers responsibility to everyone except the guilty. It's simply astounding that no one will be held responsible for the single largest robbery in history.
As for me, I'm writing in Ron Paul on my ballot. If I can't write him in for some reason, I'll vote for Bob Barr on the Libertarian ticket. But, that's me - I'm crazy. I've been that kind of crazy for thirty years. I'd rather vote for someone who represents the principles of personal freedom and personal responsibility that be "on the winning team."
In the end we all get the government we deserve. I'm afraid that the United States is teetering on the brink of irrelevance. Our time in the sun is almost over.

Always someone I admire, I'm delighted to see you sharing and writing from your heart.
(((BIG HUGS)))
mom, I love that you are so involved and have the time to keep me informed. Thanks for all your newsy emails and research. My basic belief is that the government should work for us, not the other way around where we work for the government. With the US having the highest corporate tax in the world I can't understand why we continue to create a disincentive for creative entrepreneurism. Don't the american people know that that cost just gets passed on to us and that eventually we will be forced to by pure economics to turn to less expensive resources to purchase our products from thus sometimes turning us to overseas resources. we have families that depend on us and no matter how patriotic I am truly wanting to buy products made in the USA, I have budgets fixed expenses that need to be met.
Anyway, I love you! keep writing. That's my two cents.
