Presidential Election

Community Organizer/Governor. Is this what the whole election has come down to, what is a community organizer? They have their place in the communities, yes, but who cares? This is a Presidential election and the only thing on the table to talk about is community organizers, PLEASE, give me a brake, if it were not so sad it would be funny. I feel like I’m being gagged with a spoon.

There are a hosts of topics to be concerned about and we have less then two months to get our minds wrapped around the issues and shine the light of truth on them. The latest talk of comparing Governor Sarah Palin with Pontius Pilate, I won’t even mention the other comparison, is ridiculous and nothing more then a smoke screen to prevent people from finding their way to the real issues.

There is a lot of talk about Governor Palin’s experience. She is, after all, an executive, a Governor, she has had to make hard decisions, deal with the good old boy network, hurray for me and to hell with everyone else way of doing business. She went into office with a new broom and began to sweep things clean. What is there not to admire about that? Isn’t that after all what we all expect from our Representatives, those we elect and send to Washington? When we actually find someone on the political stage that has done that the Democrats want to criticize and humiliate her and her family, why, just because she has an “R” after her name. When does love of country and being consumed about doing what’s best for our country come into play, or has everything just been reduced to what’s best for a particular party? I believe the Democrats that have been pushing these smoke screen issues to distract the public should be roundly condemned. I believe the Republicans and everyone else should be embarrassed beyond words for falling pray to these stalling traps that have been laid out before them.

Everyone knows Governor Palin was a mayor before becoming Governor, everyone now knows her family life, everyone knows she is not afraid to speak her mind and will go toe to toe with condescending reporters and commentators who lower their eyeglasses and look down their nose at her during questioning, asking questions B. O. never gets.

Ask yourself, not as a Democrat or a Republican or Independent, but as an American, who between, B. O. and McCain, has the more impressive résumé? If you were on a board and responsible for hiring a C.E.O. for a major company, removing everything from before the name and just went on the contents of the résumé, who, in all honesty, would you hire?

Beyond the nominee coming into office you must consider those tagging along on his coattails. You must consider the kind of judges that would be placed. We each have a decision to make, regardless of how we make it the Constitution and all of its contents, our Bill of Rights will be affected. On one hand they will be upheld, on the other they will be placed in jeopardy. If this means little or nothing to you maybe you should take a long look at your children and/or grandchildren, and consider the kind of world you want them to be able to grow up into. Do you want them to have the same rights and protections you now have, the benefit of the best healthcare system in the world? (Oh I forgot, many of you idolize Canada’s healthcare system, you should ask those who make their way here for treatment what they think about it.) I personally have never heard of a person being abandoned to the streets by a hospital because of an inability to pay. “Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.” —Ronald Reagan

When is the last time you heard a question about immigration and the deleterious effects it is having on all our lives and when, or if our boarders are going to be closed and the illegal’s removed from among us including our jails and state prisons?

When is the last time you heard a question asked about the kind of judges that will be placed, those who interpret the law based on the Constitution or those who will legislate from the bench?

When is the last time you heard a question concerning the English language and making it the official language of the land and doing away with everything that will usurp that from being the case? I say usurp because it will be the seizing of our official language without the right to do so.

When is the last time you heard a question asked about the kinds of things being introduced into the school curriculum, the bastardization of our U. S. history, the omission of important subjects being replaced with relative nonsense. If you don’t think our education system has dumbed down why don’t you look back a few years and compare what was taught and expected then with now. While you are at it ask yourself why.

Everything that made this country great, the greatest in all history is slowly and systematically being covered over, a little at a time, sort of like the frog in a pot of water, totally oblivious that he is being slowly cooked to death under a low but relentless heat.

Much more then you may imagine rests in the shadows waiting for the outcome of this election. I ask that you open your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your minds to think, comprehend and consider and to do away with the abbreviated American thinking.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Think about your taxes, many of you are Democrats so I’ll let you read the following:

“It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now... Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.” —John F. Kennedy

There's a lot to do and a short time to do it so lets get busy.
