Mr. Mrshall, I am like you. I am mostly blind. I see a bit out of one eye, like through a knothoel in a fence. I’m diabetic. I have neuropathy, retinopathy, arthritis, high blood pressure, allergies, etc…. I, too, rely on disability. I was a bookworm as a kid. Despite all this similarity, I’ve come to an exact opposite stance from you regarding politics.
I do not have any use for Sen. Obama. I believe him to be an enemy of my country. He means us naught but ill. Everything in his background points to this. He’s narcissistic and Marxist. Yes, it is a good thing to take the High Road when your opponent is basically an honorable man. I can disagree with a man and not hate him, but a snake has to be crushed mercilessly.
As to the Dems and their policies, I can tolerate some things. I may only disagree on the how. O’Reilly had a guy on, Dr. Frank Luntz, who polls people with a machine. When the pollees watch an ad, they move a dial in accordance with their response. It was interesting to watch one particular demonstration. The ad being watched got into promises of government goodies. The Dems’ responses went way up, and the Repubs’ responses went way down.
If you think about it, it’s amazing. The goodies were offered, and the Dems got excited. They were ready to take the cash. The Repubs were exactly opposite. They were not interested in the siren song of the free lunch! Every election seems to be the same theme. The Dems promise a chicken in every pot, and the Repubs try to talk sense to people. The elections get tighter every year, because the demographics are changing, with more minorities, who generally vote Dem, looking for the free lunch. (McCain may have done more than he knows with the pick of Palin, as getting the women over to the Repub side may be the only thing that can right the longer-term balance.)
I don’t think of the Dems as my enemy, just lacking common sense, that is, lacking the wisdom and character to turn down the free lunch. But I honestly believe that some of them on the far-left are simply in it for the money and power. Some, indeed, are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Others are just plain evil. They actively work against America. Their activities reveal them. Examples are: the covert smear campaigns; Hacking Palin’s e-mail; Intimidating the protest groups at the UN; Flooding the talk show call-in lines to suppress opposition; The most vile rumors; Just any underhanded trick in the Saul Alinsky book; Hate America messages; Damning our activities, while lauding those of our enemies; Undermining our education system and our media; and the list goes on.
So, you’re well read. I ask you, how can you countenance all this and support Obama? You don’t really require no specifics plans of action, just ideas, do you? How can right and wrong not play into your decision? Does a man’s character mean nothing? Does yours?
