An open letter to Obama Voters.

I pray that you will allow me at least the opportunity to change your mind.

 

The news media in this country, virtually every newspaper, TV network and so on is made up of liberal Democrats that the truth is rarely told.  All I want is the opportunity to get our point of view out and understood by you rather than the meat grinder of some place like CNN or MS NBC.  If you get all of your news from one of these or some similar source, it probably makes you wonder how anyone could EVER vote Republican.  Well, that IS their goal and plan but it should make you wonder how so many people still do.  It’s because they caught on to how corrupt the news media is and now they see through the BS. 

 

I have heard the comment that “Sarah Palin scares me!”  I can’t for the life of me understand how John McCain or Sarah Palin could possibly scare anyone.  They are honest to God real Americans who love their country and the principles it was founded on.  There are so many myths about them, their backgrounds, and their beliefs, it’s not funny.  Few people ever take a moment to find out if what they hear is actually true.  You would have to tell me what ridiculous accusation you have heard first but I assure you I can defend it with nothing but the truth.  I can however tell you that Sarah Palin does not want to take away anyone’s abortion rights, or stop teaching evolution in school and that John McCain is not, in fact, a blood relative of George W. Bush. 

 

It’s sad to say but few “scary” things the media does ever say about Obama are only the top of the iceberg and are not merely “smears” as is often claimed.  The previous post on this blog “The comprehensive argument against Barack Obama” lays out the facts on many of these issues.   I hope you at least take the time to check out it out thoroughly before dismissing it so lightly.  I am not in the habit of spreading lies or playing games.  I love my country and I am fighting for it every day.

 

I know many people who get their political identity from their family without it ever occurring to them that things may have changed in the last 40-50 years.  The Democrat party that existed in the 60’s is gone. The Democrat party of 2008 has mostly been co-opted by true leftists who are working very hard (and unfortunately successfully) to create a nanny state and absolute socialism. 

 

It upsets me that I run into people everyday who think that they must remain Democrat for the exact reason that they should become Republicans.

 

It is the Republican Party that stands for civil liberties.  It IS the party that was founded on the principal of anti-slavery and more importantly, the fundamental concepts that America was founded on, individual liberty, equal opportunity, personal responsibility, the American Dream.

 

The Democrat Party has become the party of big government that keeps creating more and more social programs and spending more and more of our tax dollars to setup wealth redistribution programs. The aim of which is to keep people in need dependent on the government and more importantly, for those in the Democrat party to remain in power.  The sad truth is that they have no real desire to “help” anyone but themselves.  They use these dependents to maintain their power by threatening them with the interruption of their benefits if a Republican happened to take office.  Some of these many benefits that are manipulated in their massive class warfare game include welfare, housing assistance, food stamps, and government contracts. Even government jobs are created to maintain a dependent populace.

 

Obama, himself, is just another in a long line of ultra liberal tax and spenders whose goal is to continue this growth of government by creating even more social programs, even more taxation, more spending and ultimately more dependents that will keep him and his friends like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in power and take our country even further from its roots.

 

What is worse is that I think that Obama has the potential to be much, much worse.  His history is that of someone who actually believes in socialism and Marxist principles.  He has toned down this rhetoric tremendously to make himself more appealing to the masses but I fear the true Obama will return if he is elected.  I will also make a side note that the majority of his campaign promises, notably his 95% tax cut proposal, are lies, distortions and half-truths and that this is easily demonstrated by checking with non-partisan organizations that you can Google in two seconds.  Pick an item and I will be happy to explain the ramifications.

 

I am of the belief that the country may not survive even one Obama term.  We will be attacked as weak by every terrorist organization out there.  Our system of economics will cross the brink from sort of socialistic progressive to actual out and out socialism. 

 

Simply put, the Republican Party believes that all people should be given the equal opportunity prescribed in our Declaration of Independence.  They believe in law and order, that people should be responsible for themselves.  They should be rewarded for their successes and innovation and they should be equally held to account for their misbehavior.  The Republican Party is for smaller government, less bureaucracy and more freedom and liberty for the people. 

 

Contrarily, the Democrat Party believes in larger government where it is the responsibility of that government to take care of its people.   They believe in taxing success and innovation and using the proceeds to create dependents.   The government chooses what behavior is acceptable and unacceptable and legislates accordingly.  Notwithstanding the previous statements, it is also clear that the Democrat Party believes in whatever cause they can use to vilify the Republican Party, IE. They may be for or against tax cuts or war depending on what their Republican opponent is saying.

 

There are many, many individual issues that come up in every Presidential election.  The War on Terror, Abortion, 2nd amendment rights, gay marriage, property rights, taxes and so on.  Some of you may be one issue voters.  If so, at least do this for me.  Make sure you really know where each candidate stand on that issue, not where you “think” they stand or what you “heard on CBS news” but what they really believe and what their plans are.  Secondly, before making a decision based on your “one issue”, think hard about whether some of the other issues should be sacrificed over your one issue.

 

Please, before you vote for Barack Obama, at least know what you are asking for.

 

Call me crazy but I want my kids to grow up in an America I can recognize. 

 

I will be voting McCain-Palin.
