On election day we choose between a distinctly inexperienced, unqualified and questionable individual presenting ever-changing policies, versus a tested statesman, military expert, proven leader and respected foreign policy expert.
AMERICANS: TOUGH-MINDED OR LIMP-WRISTED?
Will we choose the Proven Horse or the Prancing Pony?
By Allan Erickson
10.10.08
Growing numbers of Americans are increasingly angry and frustrated about Sen. Barack Obama, his candidacy for President, and the lack of integrity in media when it comes to objective coverage, or lack thereof. Any and everything can be thrown at McCain/Palin with alacrity and glee. Raise your voice simply to ask a question about Obama and you are a racist, a sexist, a homophobe etc.
Americans see a good and decent woman of accomplishment in Sarah Palin, a woman savaged for weeks by the press and Hollywood, an individual raked over the coals for no reason other than she is a conservative Christian who opposes abortion. What crimes the devious commit seeking high office! In America it is a high crime to have an opinion contrary to the altogether enlightened, cosmopolitan and politically correct Left.
Observing Palin’s treatment causes one to wonder if our country has become little more than a circus, preoccupied with a kind of professional wrestling approach to politics. Everything has become a smack down. Apparently it is fine to be a bigot, and display hateful prejudice against all things Christian, all things Republican, all things conservative. Bigots are as bigots do. It becomes obvious the Left is more concerned about promoting political ideology and less interested in avoiding racial tension, class warfare, internal collapse.
When someone objectively documents and expresses reasonable criticisms of Sen. Obama, the Left immediately boils tar and plucks feathers, all the while screaming the most vile invective. Evidence is abundant. Watch the evening news, the talk shows, or visit a conservative website and read the comments. However, let one nut case yell out a stupid remark at a McCain rally and it makes the headlines at Huffington and on the front pages and on the 5:00 news, reported as proof positive Republicans are hate-filled warmongers unconcerned about the poor, racist imperialists through and through!
Those promoting Leftist ideology, in the main Democrats as radicalized as Obama, essentially call for the overthrow of all things traditionally American.
They call for socialism versus capitalism, endorse gay marriage and denigrate heterosexual monogamy, characterize baby killing as a right and a privacy issue, codify government as god to engineer society, steal from the Haves to subsidize and subjugate the HaveNots, embrace foreign enemies, break laws, disrupt domestic tranquility, turn race against race, encourage illegal immigration, ridicule Judeo-Christian values, promote atheism, exalt human wisdom above humble faith, canonize terrorists and insult patriots.
Just the kind of folks you want over for Sunday dinner? Just the kind of folks you want running the country?
In 25 days we select a President.
Will we use our heads, or allow emotionalism to drive us to the polls?
Most of the people supporting Obama express warm fuzzes: he makes people feel good, he makes them ‘hopeful,’ he represents change, he’ll make the Europeans feel good about us, he makes youth feel good about the future, he excites, he inspires, he understands, he cares.
Dear fellow citizens, we are not voting for an American Idol.
We are selecting an individual to lead the free world in the face of global economic chaos, global Islamic terrorism, global natural disasters, and the rise of rogue states hell bent on obtaining and using nuclear weapons.
This is not a choice between the Fonz and the Frat Boy.
This is a choice between a distinctly inexperienced, unqualified and questionable individual presenting an ever-changing platform versus a tested statesman, military expert, proven leader and respected foreign policy expert.
Feeling good is short-lived, offering lousy return on investment. The limp-wristed will not inherit the earth. They offer a weak hand to the tiller of state.
Tough mindedness is required today. An intelligent choice demands emotionalism take a back seat.
We need a servant steeled by suffering, not a politician promoted by propaganda.
We need a decisive, dedicated leader, not daddy daycare.
We need a proven horse, not a prancing pony.
Finally, if the majority of people are not concerned about the glaring warning lights shining on Sen. Obama, as follows, then reason will not rule election day:
Experience/qualification
Bill Clinton does not think Obama is qualified. Hillary Clinton does not think Obama is qualified. Joe Biden said during the primaries the Presidency does not lend itself to on-the-job training, saying Obama is not qualifited. Obama has no executive experience (other than four years CEO of Ayers’ CAC), no direct foreign policy experience, little federal legislative experience, no military experience, and get this, he would not pass the background check to be a Secret Service agent because of his association with Ayers, a terrorist.
Why do all these Democrats endorse McCain?

Radical associations, a legacy of anti-Americanism: Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Kalidi, Al-Mosour, Meeks, Pfleger, Rezko, Soros, MoveOn, ACORN, Public Allies, Woods Foundation, Annenberg Challenge, Nation of Islam, American Communist Party. Sen. Obama, you can denounce these associations today, but for years you were in bed with them, helping them, and they were working for you, and continue to this day, and Americans have every right to question your loyalties.

Shifting positions
For 19 months Obama promoted increases in virtually every tax, calling for drastically increased federal spending, but now he promotes tax cuts and spending cuts across the board.

No matter how you slice this thing McCain comes out the far superior applicant for the most important job on earth: President of these United States, leader of the free world.
