Free Republic

This is exactly why I was told over 30 years ago by my very wise, but mistaken, father that “America won’t elect a Black president, because he’ll be a president for the Blacks first”. Obama fooled the white electorate. The Blacks knew what they were getting. I thought the woman at the Obama rally was nuts when she said, “Now I’m not goin’ to worry about paying my mortgage, or about havin’ to pay to put gas in my car...” That woman heard something that millions who voted for Obama did not hear...

I get the SAME response from MY black colleagues - “Now it’s your turn...”

Bad times are coming....(worse than they are now).

Don’t hold your breath - we may not be a “Nation of Cowards”, but we’re certainly a “Congress of Cowards”.

There’s no such thing as “reverse racisim”. Racism is racism. Period.

I believe that to use the term “reverse racism’ implies that racism is the pervue of whites. What the New Black Panthers stand for is racism. What the Obama Administration is doing is the application of racism.

“Racism”, “ethnocentrism”, etc. are actually basic human traits - humans are “tribal”. Civilization and religious teaching has gone a long way in modifying this hateful human behavior. We, as a nation, have made tremendous progress over the last 40 years in trying to create a truly “color blind” society.

Unfortunately, I see race relations deteriorating. The non-whites see the Obama Administration as “pay-back” time. By their actions, the Administration is bending over backwards to grant favors, send money, forgive wrongs, etc. to the Black community.

“2 wrongs do not make a right” - I see bad times coming.

I think you should vote for me.

I’m conservative, grew up in a “working class” inner-city neighborhood. I started working when I was 15 years old and had a lot of different jobs: waiter, short-order cook, janitor, house-painter, dock-worker. I was a Union member for a while. I worked my way through an Ivy League college (A-minus average)- so I know all about those Ivy League clowns. I spent 15 years in the US Navy Reserve and 3 years on active duty. I’m a Medical Doctor. I managed a 55 doctor, 100 employee practice for a few years. I have acted as the political liaison for a major state medical society for 15 years and was the national representative for that society as well. I’ve been married to the same woman for 34 years and have 2 sons. There are no skeletons. I believe in the US Constitution as written as well as the Bill of Rights.

All of this is true. Alas, I don’t have the money or name-recognition to run, but quite honestly could do a much better job than quite a few candidates the “stupid party” has run over the past few years...

I don’t for one moment think that Israel will go along with this - to do so would make it militarily indefensible. However, Obama and the other Israel-haters in his regime will use this “intransigence” to paint Israel as the “bad guy” in the so-called “Peace Process”. Then, they can cut all support to Israel, feeding it to the wolves. Of course, after the “Little Satan” is dealt with, who’s next? The “Big Satan” perhaps?

Why American Jews support this clown totally baffles me.

Exactly right! I am a physician and have been reviewing the Plan. There’s no question that healthcare will “crash and burn” within about 6 years and will need rescue, by - you guessed it - the Federal Government.

The Feds will sub-out most of the administration of the single-payer system to very large companies, perhaps on a regional basis. The Feds will call the shots, the companies will take their “cut” and both will blame the doctors and hospitals for the inevitable rationing of care. When this day comes, we will all cease to be “citizens” of the USA. We will instead by “subjects” - dependent on the largesse of the Federal Government for our health and well-being.

And remember: if you are “unproductive” in the eyes of the government, costing them more in healthcare costs and social security than you “contribute”, you are better off dead, “for the benefit of all”.

I flew over NYC this weekend and saw the hole-in-the-ground where the Towers used to be. I thought, “If we were a country in ascendency, we would have rebuilt the towers by now.” It’s outrageous they haven’t been rebuilt. That alone shows weakness. Even more outrageous would be the placement of a mosque in close proximity. Are we nuts to allow this? There’s no question that this is a “celebration” of muslim victory - check your history! And for an opening by 9/11/11? Come on.....

McCain was hand-picked by the Democrats and their useful allies so that Liberalism would triumph. The “good candidates” - Rick Santorum, George Allen, Newt Gingrich, etc. were destroyed by the Democrats and the media well in advance of this campaign. That’s how they operate and that’s how good they are at long-term political strategy.

Those Conservatives who would “sit out” the election or vote for a Democrat only help this goal. Even if McCain wins, he would be at least partially controlled by the Democrats and the media. That being said, McCain is far preferable to Obama or Clinton. At least with McCain at the helm, military secrets/capabilities would not easily fall into the hands of our enemies, among other things. I think a 50% Conservative is preferable to a 100% Liberal.

Those of you who want to sit this election out will see a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate and a 40-seat Democratic majority in the House. Once having lost power, the Democrats will do everything imaginable to maintain that power. Hoping that Conservatives will rebound 4 years from now is a hopeless fantasy. The deck will be completely stacked against that. Things will be done in the meantime to make nearly everyone dependent on government largesse - which will, of course, be controlled by the Democrats. At the end, even Winston Smith “loved Big Brother”.

So Conservatives - don’t give up the fight. If McCain is the nominee, support him, but not blindly and try to steer him in a Conservative direction.
