Thanks! I’ll check them out.

Here’s one for you:

My thesis here is that it’s bad enough that Obama’s ideology is very much like that of “Big Brother” in Orwell’s “1984,” but he’s also a psychopath.

So what we have in Obama is the ultimate totalitarian mindset that seeks only power as a final goal married with a psychopathic personality disorder.

Would that be fair to say?

Yes, I believe so.

Even not taking ideology into account, I see Obama as an angry and delusional man-child who wishes to destroy that with which he disagrees and enslave that which is left.

Would you agree that he’s just the man to start a civil war?

I know from personal experience what destruction an ordinary psychopath can do. I grow very afraid when I think of the destruction that a psychopath in high office can do.

Look at Hitler. Clearly a psychopath. Towards the end of the war with the Allies closing the ring, he ordered the destruction of what little was left of Germany.

I see Obama in that league.

Sure, to the extent that he routinely uses class warfare tactics, he encourages anger and resentment. It fits the Alinsky and Cloward-Piven strategies that guide part of his thinking.

Agree.

And if I’m right about Obama being a psychopath who thinks he cannot fail or be punished, he will keep pushing his agenda way beyond the limit, and provoke a blow back that could include impeachment/removal from office/felony trial, or a rebellion and war in the streets.

In my e-mail

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.”Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter.

“Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.” “No problem, just let me in,” says the Senator..

“Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.” “Really?, I've made up my mind.

I want to be in heaven,” says the Senator. “I'm sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, “Now it's time to visit heaven..”

So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. “Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”

The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.” So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.”I don't understand,” stammers the Senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

What happened?”The devil smiles at him and says, “Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted.”

Vote wisely on November 2, 2010
