It is a mistake to assume that everyone holds the same unquestioned leftist views.
Clinton and Obama = government, government, government, less individual freedom, taxes, taxes, taxes and VERY LIKELY WAR!!!!!
Tho he is not my favorite. McCain is way way more solid, more skilled, more experienced, more reliable and LESS LIKELY TO GET US INTO A REAL WAR WITH REAL BOMBS AND NUKE MISSLES HERE IN THE GOOD OL USA!!!!!
I know A LOT about the military and military personnel and military mentality. And I have direct experience. It is simply ignorance to imagine that someone like McCain is more likely to take us to war than an inexperienced, arrogant AND WEAK leader such as Obama. That is to know nothing at all about aggression and how to stop it. Weakness and obsequiousness before a bully actually ELICITS AGGRESSION from the bully. Clinton is somewhat less dangerous in this regard because at least she is capable of taking a stand, whereas Obama is not.
Think of the military as our countrys immune system.
Imagine your body and health with a constrained immune system.
Do NOT trust the USA mainstream media. It is NOT objective, it is greatly biased and has its own political agenda. Remember Dan Rather???? Inventing bad news to support his agenda. This is rampant. We US citizens are being brainwashed and manipulated. But we Americans imagine that we are independent thinkers. Middle Americans might be able to make that claim, but American intellectual left adheres to group-think and intolerance to the smallest divergent view or even question. No free speech here. (Remember where I am!)
Again, it is a mistake to ASSUME that everyone holds leftist, socialist views. While these views appear to be morally superior but appearances does not make them so.
I stopped supporting the so-called liberal- agenda sometime ago. My alienation began with the intolerance Remember I AM right in the middle of the communist City of Berkeley I see it real clear, real close up and I can not get far enf away. Anti-freedom, total group think/group control, lowest common denominator, anti-free speech, PC-Rules, even uniform unstated dress code frumpy denims and minimal grooming, and abuse/intolerance of ANY divergent view, no matter how small.
This aint the Sixties any more. Liberal does NOT mean free. Conservative does NOT mean restrictive and old-fashion. All of the meanings have changed and all of the rules have changed. But viewpoint of the academic, intelligent class is stuck RIGIDLY AND UNQUESTIONINGLY in the Sixties mythology.
You are way off on some remote mountain in a foreign country and completely out of touch, living in a fantasy of who and what the candidates are. Obama is a VERY VERY scary person committed to bringing in a socialist agenda and not saying so. He is playing on Americans strong desire to have a Black president. He is racist and anti-American. (An anti-American president? Duh?) He imagines a Harvard degree makes up for experience. He is elitist, looking down his nose at middle America. It is being revealed that his judgment is highly-questionable. Clinton is corrupt - but corrupt is not that dangerous to our liberty and she loves government control, entitlements (that create passivity), redistribution of wealth to non-performers. Clinton is a known politician. Obama is a stealth. Obama looks like at best he will be a Carter-type President weak and wrong-headed. Gas prices were higher under Carter (adjusted for inflation) than they are now!!!!! Carter was the worst pres in history of USA and now has become a Jew-hater and a wild-card, interfering negatively in foreign policy to the detriment of the USA and US allies. Dozens of Congressmen and Senators have asked him to stop in writing.
The problem with Democrats whether those who CONTROL Berkeley or at the Calif State level or Clinton/Obama, et al is that they believe that THEY KNOW BETTER WHAT IS GOOD FOR US Americans than WE know. They do not!!! And they want to take our money to spend on what they imagine is good for us. At best it is patronizing, undermines self-reliance, and creates passivity and dependence on government entitlements which leads to MORE government and MORE government employees.
It is discounted that the vast majority of Americans are right of middle. It is discounted because the so-called academic-intellectual-cool-folk think that middle Americans are a buncha stupid, backward fools and should be ignored and over-ridden. I know better. Americans are NOT stupid, backward fools to be lead to the government trough by Clinton/Obama to partake of entitlements and give up our freedoms.
I am voting for McCain and I aint no dummy. I love freedom. Obama = severe diminishment of individual liberty; Clinton = moderate diminishment of individual liberty.
