Why do I live in an apartment?   I refused to pay for an overpriced home a few years ago when I was finally approved to buy my very first house because it was not a smart thing to do. The reward from the government for my sense of fiscal responsibility? . . . . help those who did not have common sense enough to NOT buy a home during the housing bubble    Now people who did that will get help on their mortgages with MY MONEY.

Irresponsibility is the new modus operandi for individuals and corporations and the government. Make poor judgments, dig yourself in a hole, cheat your clients and the government will reward you with taxpayer money. The sad thing is that the government caused many of the problems in the first place! 

I am sick of the lying, the deceit, the robbery, the theft, and the cheating—I think that about covers the government. It will only get worse with the Democrats in charge; they simply wink at their sins and misdeeds and drag Republicans into hearings for years and years. Their response to not paying taxes, lying under oath, and getting sweetheart mortgage deals—“I didn’t know.” President Obama is no stranger to misspeak –“I didn’t know Jeremiah Wright held those views.” “I can’t find my college thesis.” “I promise transparency.” (Boy, that’s working well!)  Even Blagojevich would be going strong today if he hadn’t had the unfortunate lot of being recorded. Otherwise, he would be lying his way out of it like every other crook on Capitol Hill.

What we need are more whistleblowers. We need some good leaks from someone who works in government to shine the light on all of the shenanigans that are going on, and I don’t care who gets busted—Republican or Democrat—many of them are drunk with power and indifferent to scandalous behavior.  It wouldn’t take much light to reveal enough corruption to cause many hardworking Americans to riot.   Count me as one of them; I can’t take much more.

As a Republican, if Hillary were the Democratic nominee, I would be bummed, reluctantly accepting this election as hers to earn, but I would not be anxious. With Barack Obama only weeks away from perhaps inheriting the title of “president-elect,” I genuinely fear for America. Frankly, I think America will have hell to pay if he is elected. Hopefully, we won’t go there.

Obama just does not seem like an American. Hillary, with her health care plan and all the other baggage she brought with her, at least seemed like she was genuinely proud to be an American. Obama seems to just stomach it, referring to America as “the country I love.” How stilted. Did that not bother anyone? I don’t think his goal is solely to rule America; he wants the world eating out of his hand. The term “leader of the free world,” means something different to him.  I don’t suggest that Obama is the “antichrist,” (though my son who has read the entire Left Behind series consistently brings up similarities between him and Carpathia); but I do think who he has CHOSEN to associate with, his inept comments (slips of the forked tongue?), and his cold, and almost programmed demeanor show that he is a candidate unlike any other we have had before, and, therefore, one to be feared.

Now, my misgivings have nothing to do with what he looks like; it has everything to do with those to whom he has been linked.   Ayers, for example. Hannity has said it ad nauseum (as well he should considering the wink and pass from the Obama media), but it makes it no less true—Ayers IS an unrepentant terrorist. The joke hitting e-mail accounts across the U.S. now is this:  “What do Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common? Both have friends who bombed the Pentagon.” At first, because of the sensitivity of the 9-11 tragedy, we might take offense at the joke’s crudeness; however, then a light bulb goes off and we think, “hmm… I never thought of it that way.” Obama has continually downplayed his connections with Ayers and others who hold anti-American sentiments. I don’t care what he promises, how well he speaks, and how “above-it-all” he tries to appear; why would anyone in their right mind vote for a guy with even the HINT of a connection with American enemies?   The risk is just not worth the empty promise of change.

Think Ayers doesn’t influence Obama? Remember the flag pin issue? Read the following words from Ayers’ blog and then read Obama’s response about not wearing the flag pin.

Ayers

“The civil-rhetorical patriotism evident everywhere—the flags and signs proliferating, the elaborate story and the stock slogans, the giving of blood and the trips to “Ground Zero”—allows, perhaps, a shared grief and a shared incredulity at the start. Given the narrow American palette, reaching for the flag might have meant sympathy and unity at the start. But from the start powerful forces were busy using the moment to promote a narrow, repressive patriotism—dissent is unpatriotic, un-American—in the service of horrifying goals and purposes.

Obama

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest.”

Hmmm….

Let’s not forget Jeremiah Wright. You remember Rev. Wright; the one whom Obama dubbed as “not the Rev. Wright I knew,” the man whom Obama could not disown (until he got in the way of his sprint towards the nomination); the one who married Obama and Michelle and baptized their children; the one whom Obama sat under for 20 YEARS.   Yes, that same man who damns America, blames whites for every ill, and thinks we deserved 9-11. Obama claims complete ignorance of those views. WHAT? Those who haven’t drunk the Kool-aid are not stupid.   One would have to be a complete imbecile to believe that he did not know what Wright espoused. Obama then must subscribe to some of those same thoughts or else he would have left long before the political winds ushered him out.

If one man---that one---Barack Obama---has enough power and influence to start youth movements similar to what Hitler inspired, then something is amiss. Perhaps you haven’t seen the young, starry-eyed children singing about Obama changing the world. See for yourself.

THIS MAN SCARES ME! What is worse is that people are falling hook, line, and sinker for the eloquent, presidential-looking veneer covering a potential threat to America’s sovereignty.   You may hate Bush, but that’s no reason to replace him with a left-wing, socialist with handily hidden anti-American views. 

If Obama is elected, you might as well kiss your American lifestyle goodbye and pray hard for your children and grandchildren.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright received the gift of early retirement and is now secluded in his million-dollar Chicago home complete with an elevator, an exercise room, and a master bedroom with a whirlpool. Some reports indicate that he is even raising chickens.

Father Pflagler, too, took early retirement, separating from the Catholic Church (something he considered a white man’s world). He can now return to his work of helping prostitutes without raising as many eyebrows. Pflagler has also had a few stand-up comedy stints where the draw is his Hillary Clinton impression.

Bill Ayers who was “lost” and forgotten for a number of years has now been found. It’s so good to know where he lives and works. It’s even more fascinating that Obama lives in the same “hood.”

Oprah was able to get rid of some of those pesky Republican viewers when she wholeheartedly endorsed Barrack Obama and seems to have even overcome the minor setback of losing a pair of eyelashes.

The gifts bestowed by this man make my heart race.

Thanks to Obama, James A. Johnson (Obama's chief vetter and financial adviser) now has name recognition.   Who would have ever known that he had ties to Countryside and Fannie Mae.  If he ever decides to run for office, he will not have to be an unknown like ... let's say...Sarah Palin.

Christopher Dodd got to be vetted without having any success on the campaign trail, and we all have the comfort of knowing he received a sweetheart deal on his home mortgage. 

Chris Matthews can now devote more time to finding a cure for that strange sensation running up and down his leg.  I also heard he has organized a local softball league.

Keith Olberman can now take out his fury on important issues like Wal-Mart customers who leave their shopping carts all over the parking lot instead of putting them in the corral.

Joe Biden has moved from a mere United States senator to being a faith healer. 

Obama’s life changing works are so numerous; I don’t suppose there are enough blogs on the web to detail them all.

The Obama phenomenon has pundits exhausting the extent of their political wisdom to explain its cause.  Most agree that Obama’s gift of oratory and his “new and improved” mantra have been what have stirred the masses.  The message has been “Jump in!  The water is fine.”

Harnessing mass appeal proves very helpful when one is trying to win an election.  Once people have formally stepped into the flow of the movement of the masses, it takes too much effort to buck the swift moving current.  To keep the momentum going, Obama need only to stroke the waters by saying what the masses want to hear.  In their eyes, he can do no wrong.  In Hitler’s words, “a movement with great aims must therefore be anxiously on its guard not to lose contact with the broad masses. It must examine every question primarily from this standpoint and make its decisions accordingly” (Mein Kampf).  My hope is that the masses will not lead America down an unexpected and perilous path on November 4th.
