Happy Dog:
“I knew Barry in college and he is neither corrupt nor a socialist-weak tea allegations like those being thrown around above are not going to have any effect.”
Well, Happy Dog, my three kids went to Punahou School, as did your Barry; but their education here in Hawaii did not include the one his did: a friendship with the poet and Communist Party member, Frank Marshall Davis. As a black man, I’m sure Mr. Davis filled a void in Barry’s life, since his own father had abandoned him and his grandfather wasn’t much of a role model. In fact, it was to Mr. Davis that Barry turned when his grandparents fought over that ride to the bus stop.
Prove what is not factual in what I’ve written here or “above” and I’ll be happy to clear the record. I want to be fair. Thinking individuals can make of the facts what they will. But the facts are what each of us needs in order to make an informed decision.
Obama’s voting record puts him to the left of even Bernie Sanders making him the most liberal Senator of all. His “solutions” offer more government intervention in our lives – anathema to the conservative – and he speaks openly of redistributing wealth. Now these might appeal to you, and you will cast your vote accordingly.
But to those of us who want to maintain the greatness of our nation and its founding, we don’t see bigger government as the “change” we need or want. In fact, if one studies the 8 stages in the lifespan of a democracy, Obama with the help of a Democrat congress, would put us in Stage 7: “apathy to dependence.”
I would appreciate from you some examples of Obama’s “great talent.” Oh, he knows how to turn a phrase, alright. He’s got the cadence down.
He just has yet to figure out what the real “problems” are facing our nation. Once he gets that, we’ll work on solutions.
