An excellent reason in and of itself to vote McCain/Palin.

So, the representative of one political party in the U. S., criticizing the other party's recent leadership, appeals, through his self-declared "citizen of the world" status, to foreign nations for support in his candidacy.

Sounds like exactly the kind of situation envisioned by the sagacious First President of America when he warned about the great dangers of what he called "the Spirit of Party." He said:

"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties . . . . Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.

"This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

"It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with illfounded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

If that was not sufficient warning, in another portion of his Address, he added this:

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."

Good. They can have him. Let him rule the planets for all I care. Just keep him away from our country.

Obama was kind of pushed aside on Drudge by all the Sarah Palin news. But this story gives him an opportunity to jump back in the tank for him.

I think Drudge feels a tingle in his leg whenever he things about Obama. He is sometimes thought to be a conservative because of his work during the clinton years, but that would be a false impression. He is more interested in being Walter Winchell and breaking the news barriers.

Too bad. I’ve never seen Drudge so consistently biased as has been for Obama. He’d might as well be the Washington Post or the New York Times. In fact, he’s worse.

As long as it keeps him out of the White House, and out of America’s affairs, where do I send him?

I guess the whole Jesus claim isn’t going to pan out for Obama.

Of course they do. They want somebody as anti-American and socialist as they are.
