Obama the fraud.....

Today I was reading a media story about Obama trying to reach out to the right wing evangelicals.....Now.....isn't this the same group of people (at least from a faith standpoint) that he was calling bitter, clinging to guns and religion when times get tough? Somehow this strikes me as being a little disingenuous.....okay ALOT disingenuous.

The half-hearted dismissal of Wesley Clark's comments about McCain's service in the military not being of the proper "level of experience" to qualify McCain to be commander-in-chief is nothing more than a deflection to try to stop people (who would actually take time to think about it) from remembering that Obama has NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE what-so-ever.....And didn't Clinton FIRE Clark because he was so inept as a commander? Yeah.....that makes him a credible spokesperson.

Campaign finance, income taxes, capital gains taxes, medicare, goverment funded health care, hell, pick an issue that is meaningful to US; the average citizen that is just trying to make a life for ourselves and our families, and you won't be able to pin him down on a position that he won't flip-flop on to suit the desires of the crowd to which he is speaking.....

To me that constitutes the worst kind of fraud. Trying to get elected at any cost, by saying anything, to anybody, when it fits into his goal of achieving the presidency.

It's either this or he HAS no real position on any of the important issues confronting us today.

Either way he's extremely dangerous to our way of life in this country. I find it extremely frightening that we could elect someone without knowing what his real stand is on an issue until after the election......It's equally as frightening that we may elect someone who has no spine to choose a side on an issue and stick to that position whether it's popular or not.

I would find it much easier to respect the man even if I disagreed with his position, but he hasn't given a consistent position to agree or disagree with!

The only thing that I've been able to form an opinion on is that in an Obama presidency we would see higher taxes, a lower standard of living, bigger government and a continued erosion of our personal freedoms.....at an even faster pace.....Because there is no conceivable way to fund even half the things he's talked about without a massive redistribution of money from OUR pockets to the Government's.

Liberalism today is anything but liberal.....It's evolved into the belief that none of us are capable of making decisions without the ever watchful eye of government.....

Even the first amendment is fair game if the speaker has a viewpoint that is in opposition to the current liberal mantra.....ie. Pelosi's attacks on conservative talk radio shows hosted by Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and others.....While I don't agree with some of their positions I certainly believe they have a RIGHT, guaranteed by our Constitution, to present that point of view. They also have the forum because they have an audience large enough for the free market to dictate the sale of advertising that supports their programs.

I firmly believe that if the vast majority of American citizens held a "liberal" point of view then liberal talk radio wouldn't be relegated to NPR. Popularity dictates value in the market place, and the reality is that the constant vitriolic hatred for anyone with an "R" after their name doesn't sell. Oh there is alot of left leaning press, but if one were to study why many newspapers are failing I think they would find that most of those failures have something to do with the political leanings of the editors and publishers.....Look at the Seattle Times.....It leans a little left, but was far more centrist than the Seattle Post Intelligencer.....The P-I was losing money hand over fist, and it's owner (Hearst Publications) had to sue the owners of the Times to try to enforce a patently unfair contract and force the Times to continue to provide Hearst with financial support for the P-I so it didn't collapse under the weight of it's completely unbalanced reporting.....

I left Seattle before this was resolved, but the bottom line is that even in a city like Seattle that leans so far left it should fall over, a "liberal" newspaper like the P-I couldn't survive on it's own because people just get sick of listening to hatred.....

In that regard I don't see much difference between "Liberals" of this day and age and the Muslim whack-jobs that would kill us all if they had the chance.....They both believe that their way is the only way, and if you aren't in lock step agreement with everything they say then you are somehow less than human, or stupid.....or.....let's just say it.....an infidel.

Don't ever forget that if a political party controls the media and has the balance of power in the judiciary, then they effectively have control of the nation.....Because any thinking person knows that if you hear the same lie often enough alot of people are going to start to believe it is truth.....It worked for Hitler, It worked for Stalin, Castro, Mussolini, Amin, Chavez etc.....Don't think for a hot minute that Pelosi, Reid, and other far left members of Congress don't have those same dillusions of grandeur.

Modern Liberalism is trying to move us down that lovely road to Communism and/or facism. It could go either way at this point. One thing is certain, if we allow it to continue then the nation that our Founding Fathers envisioned, fought and died to create, and did their best to protect with probably the most perfectly written document ever, will cease to exist.....

How our nation survives is our choice to make.....Choose wisely......

Good day!
