Plea from a democratic

Posted on 10/31/2008 3:58:43 PM PDT by PleaFromDemocratic

I’m not trying to hide, you may know right up front that I am a very liberal democratic. I know of your site from DU. If your policy requires deleting this post, then it will only be a small waste of my time.

I have had a rough eight years. Not financially, I do OK. Not in personal loss, I have lost no one I know or love to either of these tragic costly wars. No, I’m not someone who can claim a direct path between my misery and W. My disdain for this president, his inner circle, Republicans on the hill and every last person responsible for the affront to ideals I hold personally important, they have cost ME little. No… Not me. I cry for those whose lives have suffered directly through these long eight years. I include most of you in that group. Most people have been directly affected by policy over the last eight years, and for most, it has been tough.

So, as we move past what I consider a blight on our nations character, I expect you to perceive the reverse to be true. I’m not going to be able to write anything to change your perception. If Obama wins, you will feel bad. You will feel left out. It is my personal hope that all us liberals that have felt so bad, crushed and left out will be able to show you something new. You will still disagree with us, I don’t expect that to change. I do expect me, and my fellow democrats to not make you feel the same despair we suffered. Change is coming. You will not like some of it. It is our responsibility to reach out to our opponents, and not make them feel ignored, dismissed, or anything like we have had to feel for eight long years.

When, if, Obama wins. I hope you can share in positive change. I hope you see direct benefits in your lives.

The US is the wealthiest population in the history of the earth.

Mississippi has about the same GDP as Sweden.

Haitians build boats on the beach out of a hatchet and a saw, to cross some of the nastiest, shark filled waters to get here.

Mexicans die in the desert to get here.

If one has but a few characteristics, such as hard work, sobriety, flexibility, you can die a millionaire, easy, and never have taken from anyone.

Since the dawn of man there has always been some one in the cave that says the guy who went the furthest, hunted in the rain and snow, killed the beast and dragged it furthest back, must give it up.

The Pilgrims, a forged, select, unified cult, tried socialism one year, and gave it up, as too many of their own friends cheated.

The Welfare state is the new plantation. Instead of crops, the harvest is people.

Obama wants to take, by government force, more wealth that previous Democrats have said for the last fifty years that those older taxes would ‘solve’ the problem.

Sorry, I have a memory. I read history. Heard it, seen it, been there done that.

What is a “democratic”??

Ask yourself this question and write down some answers.

What is new about socialism?

Is this a sick joke?

The only change this country needs is to return to the principles of freedom that it was founded upon.

Everything in Obama's résumé and voting record attests to the fact that Obama is diametrically in opposition to those principles. Unless he does a 180, he will never be my President.

Dear Democrat,

I, for one, WANT “more of the same”. If “more of the same” means no attacks on US soil since 9/11, then I really want it.

The fact that we have been safe is not a coincidence, nor for the lack of the bad guys trying.

We are not safe with the inexperienced Obama. He is not qualified to be Commander in Chief.

Please, give me “more of the same”.

God Bless America

The USS Saratoga (CV-3) went to the bottom of the lagoon at Bikini Atoll, as a result of that blast.

A member of my family served on that carrier, and was buried at sea in the midst of WW2.

I was a liberal a long time ago and I know that you will not respond to any logical argument. The information to refute your position is out there but it takes an honest appraisal on your part to appreciate it. All I can tell you is that if you do allow this honest appraisal to occur you will be a much happier, less conflicted individual, but you will lose many of your current friends. The new friends you acquire, however, will make it all worth while.

Just like you "reached out" to Joe the Plumber no doubt. No thanks.

I have considered Obama. I have learned that he is a Marxist, America hater, who has lied repeatedly to the American people. I’m pro life. Obama believes in infantacide. That is the big one.

He does not deserve my vote.

Thanks for you time.

Uh...speak for yourself.

If Obama wins, you will feel bad. You will feel left out.

Seriously, how old are you? I don't care about being "left out". I do care about my hard-earned assets being siphoned off to the unproductive and ungrateful.

Yeah, I can see why our victory in Iraq might make you a little depressed. Goes against all your comfortable suppositions, doesn't? Hang on, sweetcakes, because if your boy does get in you're in for a lot rougher ride than the last eight years.

You guys never learn. Your "change" involves going back to a set of tired, disproven doctrines that have nothing to recommend them but that the current generation of voters is too young to know any better. You do not love your country, you love yourself, and you hate us. And it really doesn't get a lot more complicated than that.
