The Day Of Reckoning Has Arrived

America,

The future is at hand. One road leads to stability and measured reform. The other road leads to the destruction of the American economic system that has given the United States the highest standard of living in the world and greater opportunity to achieve unbelievable wealth and success by the virtues of free enterprise, hard work, and respect for the rule of law envisioned in the Declaration of Independence and spelled out in the Constitution which of course includes the Bill of Rights. One road leads to judicial appointments for justices who hold The Constitution as the decisive authority guiding all judicial action. The other road leads to an activist judiciary that defines its own judical values and rules accordingly often in stark defiance to the Constitution.

Travel one road, success and wealth are virtues when obtained through hard work and creating goods and services of value. Innovation for the good of society can come from anywhere and the opportunities are immense. Jobs are created out of geniune need for talent and service. Travel the other road, and wealth is seen as ill-begotten. The government should determine what the population's income needs are and the tax system, in turn, would be used to seize the assets of the wealthy and be reallocated to those the government considers worthy.

Barack Obama is the most liberal Senator of all 100 members even figuring in his dreadful attendance record. Only Senator Chris Dodd, the chairman of the committee overseeing the housing mortgage industry has received more contributions than Barack Obama, sums of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

From the days of Obama's adolescence, he has sought out radical and Marxist influences. The first was outspoken African American Marxist writer, Frank Marshall Davis, who Obama cited in his memoirs as helping him develop his sense of identify as a young black man coming of age.

In college, both at Occidental and Columbia University, Barack Obama acknowledged seeking out Marxist and Socialist professors. Reflecting on his time at Occidental, Obama stated in his memoir, Dreams From My Father: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," .... "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

His love affair with extreme radicalism continued as he transferred to Columbia University where he participated in "the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union."

Additionally at Columbia, Obama noted in his memoir, "In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia."

Upon moving to Chicago, Barack Obama quickly sought out the hotbeds of radical activism as championed by some of its most radical figures, notably William Ayers, who as recently as 2002 affirmed "I am a Marxist." Ayers has never denounced his terrorist behavior nor has his wife Bernadine Dohrn who has written and spoken on numerous essentially communist ideas.

Unlike many young people who embraced some aspects of radical philosophies while in college only to return to mainstream American values after maturing or being influenced by the Reagan Revolution, Obama remained steadfastly committed to his radical roots. For a young man starting to become politically ambitious, appropriate spirituality would be a plus, thus he strongly embraced the Church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an outspoken racist and anti-American who served as the inspitration for another Obama publication, The Audacity of Hope.

In pursuit of political fortune on Chicago's south side, Barack Obama worked through the corrupt Richard Daley machine to work toward elected office.

All these pursuits would require financing, enter Tony Resko, a convicted felon, slum lord, and influence peddler who has been cited for numerous illegal and corrupt property deals including quite a sweetheart deal on the Obama Chicago mansion.

Given Obama's record of accomplishments are so thin having arrived on the National scene just four years ago not sinking into his responsibilities as Senator to focus on his Presidential run almost immediately, we have to look at his background, the choices he has made, and the kind of people he has indicated or shown are his influences to assess his worthiness as President. He had one golden opportunity handed to him, the chairmanship of a subcommittee that deals with NATO and defense issues, but rather than seizing that moment, he never called a single meeting.

From his college days to the present, Barack Obama has dedicated his life to following the most unsavory of characters a politician could embrace, extreme radical influences: explicit Marxist radicals like William Ayers and racial demogogues like Jeremiah Wright. His ascent into politics was financed largely by dirty money -- funding from Tony Rezko. The environment from where he emerged politically was the corrupt and heavy-handed Richard Daley machine in Chicago.

With influences such as Ayers and Wright who have made no secret of their vile hatred of America and its institutions, what can we infer about Obama's intentions when his campaign rhetoric so heavy relies on trashing success and wealth, stirring up class resentment, and seeking to "spread the wealth around."

For all the greatness America has contributed to its citizens and the world, we have elected some absolutely terrible Presidents in the last half of the 20th Century. Lyndon Johnson escalated the Vietnam War into a blood bath which between his administration and Richard Nixon's lead to close to 60,000 American soldiers being slaughtered many of whom who were draftees plucked from productive lives or college and rushed off to Vietnam to die. Richard Nixon carried on the war and engaged in some of the most corrupt abuses of power revealed by the Watergate break-in. Then there was Jimmy Carter, a fellow who was into something way over his head, who let an American ally, the Shah of Iran, hang out to dry, and the Islamic Revolution seized control in Iran holding American embassy staff hostage for long over a year until Ronald Reagan was sworn in. Meanwhile, inflation and unemployment were running out of control as a rapidly shrinking industrial base and skyrocketing fuel costs helped provide mortgage rates as high as 20% while inflation continued to destroy the average citizen's buying power.

Johnson, Nixon, and Carter were far more qualified to be President with Barack Obama who enters the race with more baggage than all of them combined.

America, you must vote for John McCain. There is no wiggle room here. Yes, we have concerns about McCain's campaign, but McCain is an honorable man with tremendous experience including some personal experiences that make him uniquely qualified to deal with crisis.

Voting isn't always a matter of voting for a candidate as much as it is a matter of voting against one who is totally unacceptable. The case couldn't be clearer, you must, you absolutely must, vote against Barack Obama. Don't waste your vote on a 3rd party candidate. Though it's understandible to want to chose one of them to send the big guys a message, every vote for one of them is one that won't succeed in providing an alternative to Obama-Nation.

The choice is clear. If you love you country and believe in its future, you must cast your vote for John McCain. If you don't, you will be responsible in part for the hell that awaits our Republic should this socialist extremist be elected.
