THOUGHTS ON BARACK

Barack seems like a nice, affable fellow; and he wouldn't be a bad guy to have conversation with. But I don't want him as my president. And the reasons I don't want him as president have nothing to do with a middle name and paternal religious preferences. Obama is not a terrorist in politician's clothing. He's not going to fund and promote fundamentalist Islam. And he is not the anti-Christ. No, he's just a liberal with an agenda that will ultimately re-establish American isolationism, increase government intervention on a grand scale, impose higher taxation, further the homosexual movement by expanding their privileges, strip down the military as Clinton did, and appear so vaguely religious as to promote a religious-less American society. Obama won't derail the nation with one swift stroke of what neo-conservatives believe is his true Islamic and anti-Christ agenda. There is no such agenda with him. Instead, his contributions to the decline of our society will be systematic, little by little with legislation and action that in his own heart and mind reflects what will be best for America. People like to think that Obama would weaken our national defense and send a worldwide invitation to terrorists across the globe. I worry more about the imminent domestic deconstruction that will surely take place. We won't lose because they beat us down; we lose because under his watch our nation will beat itself down - with or without the help of terrorists. In short, the effects of his presidency will reflect the sentiment in The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot:

This is how the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

With Obama at the helm, a wimpering nation we will indeed be.
