Senator Obama is clearly not one of those adopted sons who seek to vindicate
the vision of the Founding Fathers; rather one who completely rejects that
vision, and would substitute a new one of unknown or less than certain
origins. (Considering what happened to the German people when they followed
a non-rooted Austrian, who had also promised a new order--a changed
Germany--in the last Century; had we not better look more closely at Senator
Obama?)
The Reverend Wright controversy has pointed out the questionable
associations of Senator Obama, but what has been generally missed in the
commentary thereon, is that Obama is clearly more antagonistic to American
culture even than Reverend Wright--who though he may blame White folk for
Black folks problems, at least believes in the traditional American concept
of self-help and personal responsibility. Obama has said that that will not
work unless we "change America." (But in his other remarks and
associations, he clearly also plays and accepts the blame game. He may not
believe that we invented AIDS as an experiment in genocide, but rejection of
a particular fantasy does not alter his basic drift on the subject of race,
and that is no different than Reverend Wright's.)
The bottom line is that Obama is actually less suited to be President than
his former Pastor, and no rational person would suggest that we elect
Reverend Wright, simply because he does applaud personal responsibility. We
need to focus public attention on this, or we are going to face a real
nightmare in only a few short months.
For more on Senator Obama, and where he fits into the Leftwing political
spectrum, consider our essay on "Leftwing Chickens Coming Home":

Very interesting, except it needs to have one thing changed...Senator Obama

This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe.
To bad no one took a closer look at the coke sniffing dwi guy thats in
office now... I'd
think that Obama has had quite a bit of exposure along with Clinton in
this election, more
so than past presidential candidates. I really find it hard to believe
that any candidate at this
point could drag this country any lower than where Bush now has us... I
do see a Obama
Clinton ticket and a compromise between the two. Each has their
strengths which they each
need to play off of. I do feel that Obama is honestly driven toward
change in this country.
And I do see him as more of a person to sit down and try to work with
other countries to
the point of exhaustion before he'd flex the military arm of this
countryand that is what I think
is needed in the world right now... That we are willing to listen to
someone elses point of
view other than our own. McCain is just another might makes right guy
and that is something
we dont need right now. Sure have a strong military, but to have the
willingness to sit down
with those that dont agree with you and to find a common ground to work
things out is a
srtong point this country really needs. Condi is just a mouthpiece for
the military.

That sir may be your opinion and it may even get a few agreements. But the
fact that he is able
to run for that office proves to be your undoing. He is as qualified as any
other candidate. The
fact that he does not meet your standards is just a matter of opinion. He
is as qualified as any
person that has ever run for executive office.
I believe that their is a short list of qualifications that are need to
be met by anyone running
for president. The fact that he can run for president and Arnold
Schwarzenegger can not
should suit your needs....

Well first & foremost one must understand that the entire premise is
of "equality" is false. Some people (regardless of color or gender)
are just innately better then others. Their upbringing is the same,
their education is the same, their financial status isn't the same,
and of course their overall IQ is not either. About the only part of
"Created Equal" that is correct is when the sperm meets the egg. From
that point on we've tried to legislate equality by enforcing lowest
common denominator programs to bring everyone to the lowest level as
opposed to the highest.
BTW -- All Americans are of one color or another.

Perhaps the country will, but anything that involves taking from the
haves to give to the have-nots will not make my life better.
Socialized medicine will not make my life better. Increased
Affirmative Action will not make my life better. Sexism/Racism from
the office of the POTUS will not make my life better.
Anything designed to create a "level play field" by reducing my
options & revenues will not make my life better. Dragging me down to
pick others up (who usually just fall back down again) will not make
my life better.
Now for those who are unable to compete in a Capitalist Economy may
see their lives improved, but more then likely they will just have a
greater safety in numbers as others are dragged down to their level.

the same level isn't the way to go.
But he misses the US Born portion of the rules now doesn't he? One

For some reason I doubt that highly. If she "loved" America so much,

Just because he SERVED two terms does not make him ineligible for a

It says that he can't be elected to a third term, and who does the
electing?
LBJ was not elected to his first term, he was elected to his second,
and he turned down a third term.

> Has the United States been attacked since 9/11?
The prior attack of a foreign power on American soil
was the 1993 attack on the WTC, some 8 years earlier.
Do you credit the Clinton policies for the lack of another
attack? If both policies were equally effective then
you have to ask yourself if the invasion of privacy under
Bush is worth the effort.
Either Obama or Hillary would make a really good president. John W.
McSame would totally suck ass e h. He just wants to keep the war

Well I think that was Bill's approach and it really didn't seem to
work out all that well. While many want to blame Bush for 9/11, I
personally think that chicken roosts on Bill's doorstep.
Now that does not mean that I think the Invasion of Iraq was the
worlds greatest idea in the manner in which it was undertaken.
However, it also doesn't mean I think we should simply pack our shit &
split which is what both Hillary & Obama appear to be willing to do.
All-in-all I think what got this country attacked on its home soil was
Bill's failure to react to attacks on our interests abroad. Our
enemies need to know that any acts of violence against us will be met
with swift and instant action, not useless chatter.
All-in-all I'd like to see the US retire from the World Stage, focus
on our domestic issues, get our collective act together and then
invite other nations who want to be our "true" friends (as opposed to
bought & paid for ones) join us in accomplishing something other then
useless chatter. We have enough domestic issues to keep us busy for
at least a decade without worrying about what other nation states may
or may not do within their own borders.
Better to have no experience than to have experience at sucking and
being a warmonger.
WELL, Then I guess the 1993 attack was Bush Seniors fault!

When republicans ask if the US has been attacked since 9/11 they
conviently forget that american military bases in foreign countries
are considered US soil. The United States has been attacked virtually
every day since we established "the green zone".

LBJ completed Kennedy's term, not his. LBJ completed Kennedy's term and
then was elected for one term. LBJ completed the final 15 months of
Kennedy's term. Had LBJ ascended to the office of the Presidency for more
than two years then he would only have been able to run once as the two plus
years would count as a term in office.
I wouldn't use that excuse while trying to evade the legal system of a
foreign country. I believe you are confusing military bases with embassies.
Actually he probably CAN run again since he wasn't elected. He was
appointed by Floriduh court in 2000, and by Diebold in 2004.
Bush will go down in history for blocking two, yes count them, two Democrat
coups.
I detest Bill Clinton but present policies could never have been emplaced
prior to 9/11.
Here's an analogy. The U.S controls which type of music is to be played in
the concert hall and we can listen or leave the hall. If we drop of the
scene then someone else will take our place and then, not only will you have
no choice of played music but you'll be forced to listen to it.
And you might find "our" true friends would be far and few between
especially because the new head honcho would tell them they aren't allowed
tp play with us.

has done a pretty darn good job.

We were attacked while they were sleeping -- didn't prevent it from
happening at all. Now one could make the case that if Americans are
going to be attacked it should at least be the armed ones and having
it happen in somebody else's backyard is better then our own.

You are apparently as clueless as to the use of the word "since" as you are
