Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.I have lived through the administrations of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, and all were strong presidents who supported a strong military, and their primary interest was the working man.
With the advent of Clinton, the Democrat party began a swing to the hard left. Abortion rights, gay and lesbian issues, Ecology zealots and anti-religious groups appear to have taken over the party of the "people".

Now comes the most liberal Senator, based upon his voting record,with a motto that has captured the minds of many young people and the usual assortment of recycled radicals from the 60's and 70's as his followers. Of course he has leftist mega-millionaires like George Soros and Warren Buffet endorsing his bid for the presidency. I understand Soros, a life time dedicated liberal, but Buffett is an enigma to me.
Never the less, this man with no executive experience has captured the imagination of the disgruntled masses, with his promise of CHANGE.
What the change will actually be is the big question? If you judge a man/woman by their past associations and affiliations, you would have to say the change Obama promises is a change to the socialist form of government. There also is the possibility that he is a closet Muslim, and co-existence with Sharia law may be in his plans for the USA?

It is for this reason that I am violating my normal blogging rules, and will publish a direct quote from the Investors Business Daily. I believe this piece points out the possibility that Americans may be "buying a Pig in a polk" as my grandmother used to say!

"Obama's Red Roots By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Election '08: The word is that Barack Obama is a mainstream politician who sometimes attracts fringe leftists. The record tells a different story — that he has sought out radicals. What does that say of his agenda?

It is natural to be skeptical of excessive claims about Obama's radical associations. After all, there are so many. But one bears attention — because it helped him get his start in politics. In 1996, he won an Illinois state senate seat on a "fusion" ticket of the Democratic Party and leftist group called the "New Party."


The New Party, founded in 1992 with 7,000 members at its peak, had been an explicitly anti-capitalist party of ex-Communists, socialists and activists from ACORN, the hard-left group that's constantly in trouble over voter fraud. The New Party didn't ask for Obama's association; he asked for the New Party's endorsement.
Blogger Rick Moran of the American Thinker has found disturbing particulars.

First, the New Party didn't give its support and campaign volunteers to just anyone. Obama actually had to audition for it. According to a September-October 1995 update on the New Party-aligned Chicago Democratic Socialists of America Web site:
"About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to . . . to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates."


Anyone wanting a New Party endorsement had to "be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP," the Web site said.


So Obama signed on with this group and now remains in its debt.
That raises questions about what was in the New Party platform that drew in Obama. Maybe its own statements saying it was formed "to break the stranglehold that corporate money and corporate media have over the political process."
Sound familiar? One of the few things Obama reveals in his vague "change" agenda are plans to punish corporations. He rails against "corporate profits" and even worked in a condemnation of them in his first defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. So there's little doubt he shares a lot of what the New Party believes.


The New Party also has advocated a bill of rights for children, a shorter work week, a universal "social" wage and military spending cuts. These will undermine parental rights, lower competitiveness, lard up welfare and make the U.S. less secure. All are echoed in Obama's proposals. They are the hardest battle cries of the left.
Obama should come clean on why he sought these radicals' support and, better still, disclose just how he intends to pay them back".

What say you mr./mrs. voter?
