You know the harder I’ve had to work for my money to get ahead the more I’ve come to resent the ideas of men like Obama. I’ve never been compelled by the ideas of the left when it comes to income redistribution. A friend today talking at lunch summarized my feelings pretty well. He and his wife are immigrants from India. They came to the US poor, they worked hard and now several years later they make a good income. He said said that the more that the government has stepped in the middle of when it comes to charity the more it has alienated people from one another. I believe he was right. Do we really need a government that makes it easy for anyone to stay employed at a department store or fast food restaurant?

What we need is a government that respects the sovereignty of the individuals who earn money and their rights to use it and their property as they see fit but interestingly enough consent seems to matter only when it comes to sex in the left’s world view. You can’t be trusted with your money or your property or even your opinion because they know better than you and are kinder than you. They talk about the right bringing up God and mixing it with politics but the difference is that THEY think they seem to think they are God. It is time to send them a message that they are not.

Not to mention the President can't write laws, wouldn't a tax increase on CEO’s be a bill of attainder?

Didn’t Mondale make the same campaign promise in 1984?

“I will raise CEO taxes,” Obama told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.”
But, he’s a Democrat. What if he’s lying???????”

First, he doesn’t know what a CEO is or does. He has never managed ANYTHING. Everybody got it, ANYTHING!

>That raving left wing lunatic was his answer to the kinds of judges he will appoint...

Question:

Would McCain appoint or vote for such a raving left wing lunatic?

“This enemy cannot become president!!!!!”

Hell, he shouldn’t even be a senator, but he is. It is all part of the national death wish.

Obama, who has delivered constitutional lectures at University of Chicago Law School, said he thought Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was “a very sensible judge."

I'm sure as a communist she did seem sensible to him. We cannot afford to let this man become President. Whatever we have to do. Whatever it takes. At all costs. He must be stopped!

Since Obama has unthinkingly promised to raise taxes, this post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why "constitutional experts" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people then need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes.
