Amerika has Elected a Communist

[tufelkinder]

The American people in their refusal to learn - and public-
school-educated ignorance of - history have voted into
office the type of man of whom Lenin would be most proud.

Oh America... we have not had Communism forced upon us,
but have chosen it for ourselves. What a foolish choice it is...
but when will we realize it?

Indeed... They are doomed to repeat history until they
learn from it.

I had a feeling that you'd have something like this to say. I know a sense of frustration and despair must be descending upon you, and I am sorry for it. I know how disheartening it feels... That's how I've felt for eight years now

Our hearts may be in the right place, but that doesn't
mean Obama's is. In addition, I look at the people who
voted for Obama and see people who are ignorant of or
refuse to learn from history.

But I also blame the Republicans: McCain was an idiot
and he deserved to lose (as this beautiful article says).
He only gained the widespread Republican support that
he did because he added Sarah Palin to his ticket.

Obama won't listen to my voice. Or your voice either.
He doesn't like people. He kicked the reporters whose
paper's disagreed with him off his plane. He doesn't
discuss issues with dissenters, he "bans" them or tries
to silence them. He's not interested in dialog.

I understand that's your opinion. I am personally more swayed by evidence I've seen and heard to the contrary regarding Obama's true nature. My aunt and uncle met with him in person and spoke with him, and they had only good things to say about his intelligence, morality, and conduct. And for being an evil, heartless person, he's certainly not half bad at bringing up his two little girls, who seem very sweet and well-adjusted.

Anyway, I guess time will tell...

I'm sure Palin is a smart woman in her way, but from the interviews I've seen she doesn't appear to have the necessary presence of mind to be vice president. She had trouble answering some basic, important questions when under the spotlight. I'm sure I'd be the same way (you know how bad I am at reciting exact facts and details), but then, I'm not running for vice president.

At any rate, I'm sure you don't actually want to jump into a political debate, but I couldn't help but respond. (You know how it is.) :-p :)

Hope you're doing well!

Just because Palin brought widespread Republican support
to the ticket doesn't mean I think she would've made a
wonderful VP. Then again, Biden ain't all that either.

Obama's true nature is self-stated: redistribute wealth,
bankrupt the coal industry, strengthen unions, provide
universal healthcare, etc, etc. All the things that he
openly says he supports are the very things I despise.

But the reality is that his economic plans are proven by
history to be destructive and that is what we have to
look forward to in the coming years. Removal of our right
to own guns, restrictions on religious freedom, a "civilian
national security force" (he said it!), socialism.

That's the future under him. His fund-raising is corrupt,
he and the other democrats who benefited directly from
