Barack Obama's campaign for the Democratic nomination is rolling right
along... "Damn the torpedoes; full steam ahead!" is his mantra. Nearly
a century ago, the brand new luxury liner 'Titanic' set sail on its
fateful voyage. On a clear, cold night, she hit an iceberg. Many
felt a vibration... For a while, at least, most just assumed everything
was normal.
Symbolically, Obama's campaign hit an iceberg when those in it seemed
elated that roadblocks to democracy were being thrown up by the DNC.
Many, like Senator Tom Daschle, smiled that the primary votes in
Florida weren't being counted, and the primary in Michigan wasn't
being redone.
In the 2000 race for President, many will remember that Republicans
grinned like Cheshire cats when the US Supreme Court suspended
democracy--because of... "scheduling difficulties".
Now, it looks like unprincipled Democrats are going to take a stab at
suspending democracy, too. They're doing so by not insisting that the
votes in FL get accepted, or that the votes in Michigan get fairly
apportioned as befits that state's demographic mix.
It's absolutely amazing that the USA considers it her duty to "impose"
democracy in places like Iraq. Yet, democracy is hardly evident
anywhere in the USA! General Petraeous should be circling his troops
around Obama, and his gang of grinning tagalongs. And how about
those who willingly contribute their hard-earned money to defy
democracy in America and get that... Manchurian Candidate, Obama,
nominated? Aren't those contributors as much of a threat to America
as illegal aliens? Because democracy is the dusty cornerstone of our
Constitution, those who violate such are certainly doing illegal acts.
Yesterday, CNN commentator, Campbell Brown, asked three lady guests
for their assessment of the recent slide in the polls of Clinton. The
first two were quick to say that such portends an Obama victory.
Campbell Brown was refreshingly taken aback. She asked the third lady
if it was going to "be three..." against Clinton. By being put on the
spot, the third woman's reply was less knee-jerk anti Clinton.
CNN is owned by TIME Warner. And that media giant is mostly owned and
controlled by... Jews. Jews are probably the most disdained 'minority'
in this country. Mainly, that's because Jews manage to exercise power
disproportionate to their numbers. And ANY disproportionate exercise
of power is anti democracy! So, is it any wonder a Jewish media giant
supports that anti democracy, minority 'puppet', Obama, for President?
The most basic tenet of a democracy is that the adult citizens are
entitled to have one vote each . And such votes must have the same
power regardless of the... "status" of the voter. Folks, the above
defines democracy. But, unfortunately, our governments don't work
that way...
In Washington the Democrats and the Republicans have their own "side
of the aisle". The party with just one more House or Senate member is
considered... the "majority" party. And such party gets to 'chair' the
many committees. And the... "rules" give those chairmen, and those with
seniority, more POWER than the other representatives or senators--in
absolute DEFIANCE of the principles of democracy!!!!!
A Representative Republic should mimic democracy. And it should yield
results as close as possible to a pure democracy. But the results
being yielded by our governments are presently acceptable to only 19%
of those polled.
In light of the above facts, any patriotic American should see how
allowing Barack Obama to even CAMPAIGN to be President, is an assault
on democracy. Obama's continued candidacy portends that the USA will
sink deeper and deeper into her... corruption-is-the-norm state. And
the USA will surely fall--as did the Roman Empire.
The majority of Americans aren't... bad people. They have just gotten
too used to living among those who are bad, and who seem to be getting
ahead because of it. A human flaw is: Making decisions based on what
other people are deciding under the same circumstances. Those 'look
first' qualities amount to mass-mindedness. Blacks see other blacks
supporting Obama, so they support Obama, too--and for that reason
alone. No "trend" in as ominous to the future of America as having 90
plus percent of blacks be mass minded... back to the stone ages. Blacks
support Obama even when "their man" is less than qualified; less than
patriotic, due to his church affiliation; and less than suitable
because of his controlling, rather than delegating, personality. I
have seen "the handwriting on the wall", and Obama's comes up lacking.
Now, the issue is about: Winning the sad, play-by-play sporting event
called "Ballet Bowl". It's not about selecting the best person for
President. Only Hillary Rodham Clinton fills the latter bill of
requirements. But as long as the present election has been cheapened
to a choose-up-sides sport, the loyalties will divide us.
There's this not-too-flattering idea that if enough people support
something, its got to be OK. On such subject, American patriot Thomas
Payne said: "Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong
is wrong, even if everyone is in favor of it!"
In the movie the Poseidon Adventure, actor Gene Hackman's character
tried to get the trapped passengers to follow him "up the Christmas
tree" toward the hull of the overturned ocean liner. But most
preferred to remain with their captain. Within minutes, those who had
not followed Hackman drowned.
In many ways I feel like Gene Hackman's character felt. I, too, am
pointing out the way to survival. But there is this pervading protect-
the-status-quo idea that will surely doom this country. That's
because the status quo has long since become corrupt--in every niche of
the media; in governments, and in higher education. Only the basic
goodness in every human soul-- without bias toward any person or group--
can set us on the right course again. And that can happen ONLY if we
embrace our fellow man of whatever race, color or creed--rather than
letting ourselves become polarized by ever increasing, selfish group
interests.
If 'the phone rings' in your mind at 3:00 a.m.--or any other time--I
hope such rings will signify that your conscience is urging you to do
the right thing for America, and the right things for democracy.
Barack Obama is presently advertising that if he answers a 3:00 a.m.
call at the White House, that he will already have read all of the
particulars needed to make a decision. But when Hillary Rodham
Clinton answers the phone... SHE can respond from her innate knowledge
and well-honed instincts! She--unlike Obama--doesn't need a "cram"
course to be President of the United States of America from day one!!
Be it known: The right to vote is a high privilege. But those being
urged by Obama to register to vote for him, are being corrupted.
That's because free will is the essence of democracy. And free will
considers the options before making a decision.
Every American should hope that the person for whom they vote will
improve their lot, and improve America. And those objectives don't
have to work against anyone in this country! A properly run Federal
Government, like we presently don't have, will benefit all of us.
With 81% discontent in this country, the time for change has come.
United we stand; and united we shall prosper!

Over Easter, Barack Obama and his family took a short vacation.
During that period polls were taken which show that Hillary Clinton
would defeat McCain by a larger margin than Obama would. And just
this week, for the first time, Obama's... "personality" is being
mentioned as an issue. But his camp has chosen to lump all of Obama's
personality issues under this one heading: the "Damn the USA..." sermon
of Obama's preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Since Obama has
already replied to the latter, those in his camp are hoping those
"personality" issues will stay behind him. But Obama's news spinners
are sitting much more tensely in their seats as they try to deflect
the questions about his lack of qualifications--personality or
otherwise. And their 'smiles' in such regard seem much less genuine.
These days, when Obama speaks, those supporters of his with a
propensity to nod their heads in agreement to everything he says, are
planted in the audience in the view of the TV cameras. From the tone
of his recent speeches, one would never realize that he is being
assailed. "Bullets are flying..." over his head. That's figurative
speech, of course. Obviously, there's a battle going on. But is it a
flag-waving "sports event"? Or is it a political race that would ever
find Barack Obama qualified to lead the declining... "greatest nation of
all time"?
CNN has labeled their 24/7 coverage of the race for President, the alltooapt name: "Ballot Bowl". For them, having someone be elected
President is 'sport'. And they are the high paid play-by-play sports
announcers. There isn't a sporting event in this country in which the
announcers don't telescope their personal loyalties by their
excitement over a... "GOAL!"; or a home run; or a touchdown. Many teams
have their own announcers, and their own radio and TV networks.
Choose the 'wrong' one of those, and the announcer won't be showing
the emotion you desire.
Anderson Cooper--or as he chooses to pronounce it: "Coo-per"--has had
what looks like... excellent surgery under his left eye. Anderson could
have told everyone--figuratively, of course--that he got "grazed by a
bullet" when he got off of his plane in Iraq. If he had said 'that'
with a smile, he would have been showing good humor. But he showed no
good humor when he derided Hillary Clinton for saying that she had to
"duck down" getting off of her plane in Bosnia.
Soldiers getting out of still-running helicopters duck down,
reflexively, as the "chopper" blades keep whizzing above. So, when
Clinton repeated that story--tootired to smile, or to wink--should
anyone use that to accuse her of lying? Only someone like Anderson
Cooper, who more and more is showing himself to be pro Obama, would
attack FIGURATIVE speech. To his credit CNN's Wolf Blitzer seems to
be showing a level of professional detachment as he covers the news.
Obama is an expert at rattling off desirable political goals in his
speeches. Yet, other than by addressing Congress, the President gets
few chances to call for legislation. Most of Obama's campaign
speeches would be more apt if this country was a dictatorship, and he
was the dictator. But from the point of view of his 'supporters', he
could be reading numbers from the phone book; they will say "Amen!" to
anything.
A good President has more need of good executive abilities, than good
ideas. The latter are a dime a dozen. Has anyone shown that Barack
Obama has any executive experience? Obama likes to challenge
Clinton's "experience on foreign policy". Rightly, she doesn't jump
up and claim that she has made any foreign policy decisions, herself.
Yet, she is hugely qualified in those areas. How can that be?
Because she was "in the kitchen", so to speak, for the two terms of
her husband's successful years as President of the United States; she
was there! And that makes Hillary Clinton, ipso facto, THE most
qualified person in this country to lead America!
Obama wishes to become President. But he has no qualification other
than being a stony-faced speaker--who happens to be a black Democrat.
I wish that Rev. Al Sharpton had Obama's votes, now. Sharpton has
executive, take-charge, qualities. And he is very knowledgeable of
anything to do with government. I liked the way he silenced hecklers
during a 2004 presidential debate. He said: "'My people' will handle
this, if you people (running the debate) can't."
Because Obama shows just his same, emotionless, stony face while "the
bullets are flying over..." his head, some are now claiming that he's...
the TEFLON candidate. Ronald Reagan had a similar nickname. But
because Reagan was a generalist, he didn't take issue with
disagreements on details. He just stuck to the larger goals, and let
the talk on details fade into the background.
Because Obama is a detail oriented specialist, if he becomes
President, he will insist on involving himself with details way over
his head, and in fartoomany areas. Obama has neither the
"personality" nor the expertise to know how to delegate authority--the
PRIMARY executive ability! His only "claim" to executive ability is
his running... a "better campaign" than Clinton. But every contribution
Obama gets boosts his ego that he is... 'mandated'. Those contributors
to his campaign are, effectively, special interest group lobbyists who
will paralyze hisoffice, if he is elected.
Pres. Jimmy Carter liked to brag that he was an expert on nuclear
power. Like Obama, the man was smart. But when there was a crisis,
Carter addressed the people. He didn't know the ways of getting
things done by working with Congress, first. He could make heart-felt
speeches. But the American people wouldn't demand that Congress do
what Carter wanted. Barack Obama won't be good at swaying Congress,
either. "The bigger they are the harder they fall." is the
expression. Obama's ego will go head-to-head with the egos of those
in Congress--that Obama will surely pique. His prospect of a failed
presidency... is very high.
But Obama shouldn't even be considered as a candidate for president,
EVER. Why? Because he doesn't support DEMOCRACY! I know such,
because his campaigner and endorser, Senator Tom Daschel, "smiles"
when roadblocks are thrown up to having the votes in FL and MI
counted, or their new primaries scheduled. And Obama himself didn't
tell those legislators in Michigan he wants another primary... to be
fair. Obviously, Obama is against democracy, because that's the ONLY
way he can get the nomination! And Howard Dean favors... 'the rules of
the DNC' over democracy, because that is the ONLY way, he might get a
position in the Executive Branch. In a similar way, George Bush, and
the 2000 US Supreme Court, betrayed democracy just to continue the
lame political party system--that's largely controlled by selfish
business interests.
Corruption, and having any person or group obtain an unfair selfish
advantage, will bring down America. But only if the American people
let it! Till now, it has been fartooconvenient for them to just let
their 'groups' "represent" their interests. When 90 plus percent of
blacks continue to support Obama--even after Obama has disavowed
DEMOCRACY--then, blacks are disavowing democracy,too. Those "smiling
faces" in the audiences behind Obama, as he speaks, should just be
empty seats. Now, anyone smiling at Obama is giving their assent to
the downfall America. Have any of you blacks who continue to support
him considered that?
Obama has a rude penchant for staring into the eyes of those who are
talking. He's like a raptor waiting to pounce. When Hillary has
replied to questions during debates, imagine how hard it would be to
concentrate on her answers with Obama staring so ungentlemanly. But
'that way', he avoids facing the audience. And he hides his inability
to exhibit a normal range of facial expressions and body language to
the audiences. He just concentrates. And he's in his own, strange,
private world.
Blacks are loyal people. And they are great verbal communicators.
Now isn't the time for them to be... unified behind Obama. It's a time
for them to become color blind, and to vote for the person who is BEST
for America. Deep down, everyone--including Barack Obama--knows that
such person is Hillary Rodham Clinton! Clinton will be a great
President for everyone in the USA!

The long delay before the PA primary should allow careful thinking to
be done. That's a good thing. But if you haven't realized by now,
the primary/convention system is hugely undemocratic. FL and MI
realized that fact long ago, and tried to get their 'fair' say by
moving their primaries ahead of Iowa.
In FL, the move-up of the primary was a Republican, not a Democratic
decision. The controversy over that change was a known issue--so,
neither Clinton nor Obama campaigned there, though both were on the FL
ballot. Yes, Clinton was the better known candidate. But Obama was
well known,too. After all, hadn't he made some rousing speeches
during the campaigns of 2000 and 2004, and didn't he speak at the 2004
Democratic Convention? It was easy to realize that Barack Obama, with
his fine oratory, was an up-and-comer in politics.
I've been observing politics since before Obama was born. Itoowas
curious if he would become the next Jesse Jackson. Both Jesse and I
were born in Greenville, SC. I had sided with "states rights" during
the segregation era, but this was largely because I felt that "the
right not to..." should be equal to "the right to...". The strong
arguments in support of my philosophy, work only if there is no
discrimination against blacks. But since such wasn't the case,
integration was the way to go.
Other than the fact that Obama was born poor, much of what he knows
about "black issues" he
