First, with utmost respect, Rachael, my wonderful Daughter, and co editor of this blog, I must correct you on the assumption that socialism is but a small unimportant matter to many people, citizens of the United States, because socialism has been dampened and downgraded substantially, within the public school education system that educates our children these days. People under fifty years of age do not really agree with those that say socialism could be a favorable ideology for the United States to follow, it simply is considered totally and utterly unacceptable to most people in the above fifty and also the majority of the below fifty age groups that have knowledge and appreciation of where socialism has been attempted and failed miserably. The problem with socialism is it must have leaders that run the systems, and they tend always to be renaming themselves as the leader for ever and ever, and become less then benevolent in their quest for increasing and continuing power. The economics of socialism also must be viewed as unworkable over a sustained period of time. When a socialistic society takes away the freedom to fail, or prosper, it kills off the best engine of economic freedom that got the United States to the point where it is today, the strongest and most economically proven society in the world today. Do we really want to tamper with that? Now on to the topic of the day.
It is an outrage that the Democrats and the Obama campaign seem to dismiss the First Amendment as just another bump in the road to a new order of things, and their plans to squelch the First Amendment right to free speech. Pelosi and the House and Senate cannot wait to squelch the right of having talk radio, the only media outlet for the Republicans or God Forbid the Conservatives in this free land.

It appears that Obama finds it very irritating or not right for McCain to stand in the way of his assent ion to his rightful place in history to lead the nation for those who he alone has the correct tools offer those he seeks to serve. This is outright arrogance beyond anything seen in presidential races. Obama feels it is improper perhaps for McCain to be raising issues of relationships with people who are problematic for many people to fathom, such as Rev. Wright, or William Ayres or Rashid Khalidi a known PLO supporter and spokesperson who peddles outrageous anti-American tripe. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDFkMGE2MmM1M2Q5MmY0ZmExMzUxMWRhZGJmMTAyOGY
What about those who legitimately have serious reservation about this man, perhaps even believing he is unqualified for office. That is the right of all American’s but the Obama campaign wants to sue, or investigate with a policy of personal destruction anyone who stand up against this man, who even suggests a problem with his association with absolutely horrible people, who may have sway over Obama and his ideas of future US policy on the Middle East or any of the many existing confrontational issue that are before this great nation.
What happened to the long held history that our elected or about to be elected leaders show respect for allies, show respect for meaningful world action, let’s say respecting the Establishment by the World leaders of Israel giving it a right to exist and provide for a homeland for Jews of the World. Does Obama even understand the history here? The establishing of Israel was positive and right. Obama can be said to not endorse this because he does not distance himself from people currently or through a fairly long past that support the destruction of Israel. While he on the campaign stump will say he supports Israel, but his associations and associations with many say something else. There could be a future establishment of Arab land, but in a current philosophy we have to endorse and maintain at least the future for Israel. There is something really terribly wrong with this man Obama, that people may begin to see, that you cannot have things both ways, your past associations do matter, your past comments do matter, people in the United States do care that we as a Nation stand up and stay committed to good foreign policy and history. Apparently Obama has been schooled in the new anti-Israel clap-trap that has been taught in public schools for the past 25 to 30 years, the kind of ideology that is supported by the William Ayers and the Woods Foundation a favorite of those who want to push anti-American curriculum in our public schools, well documented with the many articles by William Ayers and other Obama supported people and mechanisms. If one looks to the causes supported by Obama, the Woods Foundation that support many problematic issues and ideologies it should send shutters throughout mainstream Americans.

Folks, we can do better than this in choosing our leader than a man such as Barrack Obama with his penchant for the bizarre and leftist baggage and beliefs he holds, he will certainly embarrass us and harm our country if elected. McCain is not my favorite to have gotten the nomination of the Republican Party, but he is substantially better to lead than Barrack Obama. I believe that with all my sole.
