      What have we been hearing in the last several days?  Mr. Obama made a statement that republicans are going to try and scare voters by telling these voters about Obama’s inexperience, funny name, and skin color.  In addition, many are reporting how polls show Obama ahead of McCain.  I have also seen reports about Obama criticizing McCain for voting against a bill that would help flood victims.

     I have come to recognize that there is a sentiment in America were people are automatically angry at all things Bush and react harshly when conservative politics are mentioned.  Some of the people I speak to on a daily basis have this immature vulgar criticism of Bush.

      As far as criticism goes it is only valid if it is valid.  For the rest of history there will a lot of reasons to go to war.  Look at leaders of nation such as Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, and even the frail Castro and you can see were war may be necessary in the future.  There are just people who for their own greedy convenience have taken on an ideology and are willing to act violently in order to protect this ideology.

      This has been a fact through out human history. Man is evil and willing to do evil things.  Before our time there were wars of conquest.  There were also wars of retaliation.  Therefore, war is not a new device.

      Let me see if I can explain war to you, at least my perception of war.  As a young man I was very much against the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Every thing that is , was, and/or will be belongs to God. No one has the right to destroy God’s property, especially humanity.  For me it would of been okay if the US had bombed Japanese military installations.  However, the bombing of innocent citizens I could not tolerate.

     As an adult I have learned that at the time the US bombed Japan WWII was at a possible critical turning point.  The possibility existed that if the US had not used the hydrogen bomb on Japan, Hitler and his allies could of won WWII.

     What world would we be living in now if Hitler and company had won?  Therefore, I have revised my position on the use of military power on civilians.  Being that evil of the kind Hitler represented cannot be allowed to win, all means necessary must be used to stop such evil from spreading.

       Today, there is a war against decency and fundamental values.  The leaders of the war are liberals.  Look, if you want to have sex with anything that moves who am I try and stop you?  Furthermore, if your personal values are all about consumption and personal pleasure, again, who am I stop you?

      However, we have seen this movie before.  I remember Jimmy Carter’s assistance programs.  I also remember when the news reported almost every night these programs failures and the cost to the nation.  Mr. Carter almost bankrupted this nation.

     Whether you want to believe it or not, Reagan put America back to work.  He did it with the voice of optimism.  I used to love to hear that man talk.  Some of my positive and healthy perspective on life comes from him.  Mr Ronald Reagan was right when he spoke of the potential in every person.

      Mr. Obama on the other hand is talking about disrespecting the achievements and accomplishments of the productive members of American society.  Obama’s new catch phrase is “its time to take advantage of the nations wealth”. 

      It is not the nation’s wealth.  It is the rewards of private citizens for being personally responsible.  I have no right to take it from them.  What I earn, that is what belongs to me.

      Moreover, I believe in helping people.  The commercial of that young girl on Christian Children Fund has put many tears in my eyes.  We should always be compelled to help.  Maybe it will cause a little pain to give.  However, does our discomfort compare to the hunger pains of a child.

     The Bible says “give being exceedingly glad”.  This means give by choice with joy in your heart.  Forced charity is not charity.  No one, including Obama, has the right to rob the rich in order to feed poor.  That is not moral.  Why doesn’t Obama talk about how much people who have had personal success give?

     Has Mr. Obama thought about what will happen to charitable giving when Mr Obama starts to mess with the nation’s wealth?  When the money is not in their  bank accounts people will not be able to make donations.  I was surprise to learn that the Catholic church is the worlds number one charity.  See, the worlds number one charity is not a government.

     I whole heartedly love this country.  In addition, I want her to succeed.  In order for there to be future success in America, the US has to have productive citizens.  This means the percentage of people who want to take advantage of government cannot be allowed to grow.

      When I hear Mr. Obama speak, I find it interesting that a person who speaks about divisive politics with great concern has no problem fueling divisive economics.  Why is it the successful person’s responsibility to help out the poor?  I mean aren’t the liberals all about Darwinism?  Moreover, isn’t Darwinism all about the survival of the fittest.?

      For people  who believe there is no God and we are animals it should be easy to understand that success is a way for nature to weed out failures.  Okay no one is a failure.  That is not my religion.  I am just trying to make a point.  For Obama and his kind, natural selection of the rich over the poor should be an easy concept to grasp.

I BET YOU MY COLLEGE SCIENCE PROFESSORS DIDN’T THINK I WOULD BE USING SCIECNE FOR THIS.

     However, my point is that demands of liberals for the money of rich to pay for the poor has no moral standing.  Show me where in the American Constitution it says that the federal government has the right to steal from the rich to give to the poor. 

     My greater concern is the “us and them” atmosphere created by Obama and other liberals.  I was reading a news story on web about all the rich democrats being extravagant with their money.  Yesterday on NPR Steve Inskeep, criticized Obama for his failure to take public funds.  One of the questions Mr. Inskeep asked was how much could Obama do for the poor if he gave his 200 million plus in his campaign chest to the poor and accepted the 80 million from public funds to run his campaign?

     Let me tell you I do not have any respect for Mr. Inskeep.  I cannot understand why he feels the need to turn every thing in to an opportunity to laugh with that phony laugh of his.  In addition, in my opinion, he is very far left wing.

      However, I found his question very profound.  If Mr. Obama did take the 80 million in public funds for his campaign, he could donate the 200 million plus he has to the poor.  Talk about a missed opportunity for Mr. Obama to put his money were his mouth is for Mr. Obama.

     I, however, do not think people should be that disappointed that Mr. Obama is turning out to be a politician like every one else.  I guess for the deer that were memorized by Obama’s headlights, Obama’s attitude may be disappointing.  However, I always saw him as another “slick willie”.

     See for me Bush was no “oh look at that great man Bush”.  We just share a lot of the same values.  These are values that built America and values that can keep her strong. 

     Hate him is you want.  Get caught up in the immature Bush bashing if it makes you feel good.  However, neither Bush nor I are responsible for the lives people do not want. 

     I will invoke “princessa’s” name again.  Because Mr. Bush acted in Iraq a nice, decent, lady, who wanted to be every ones friend, is a safer person.  When she was in my life I used to say "I'll kill or die to defend her".  She is worth it.  The world needs more people like her and less terrorist.

    Mr. Obama offers my sweet friend nothing, accept an economically weaken nation unable to protect herself from terrorist.  This is not something we can allow to happen.

yeah well...

1.neither the us nor anyone else hadda hydrogen bomb in 1945.

2. germany surrendered and hitler had been dead bout three months before we dropped the bomb on hiroshima.

this is prolly too much to ask--especially a bonafide graduate of correspondence school such as yourself--but next time you feel compelled to splain somethin to the rest of us, you might wanna first determine whether you yourself know anything about it.

If find the fact that you approve of nuking civilians to justify the means absolutely ridiculous and horrifying. That is the exact same reason "terrorist" keep doing what they do. Isn't it time Americans grew up already like the rest of the civilized world and stop thinking like religious radicals?
