Do Not Vote For Obama!

I want to start off by saying that I do not support John McCain. I just dislike Barack Obama so much that I am going to vote for the lesser of two evils. For a long time I was considering writing someone in on my ballot, such as Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee, or just voting for an independent like Ralph Nader or "Bob" Barr. Then, I realized that I did not want to waste my vote away. Obama is more likely to lose if I vote for someone that has a chance.

The media coverage for this 2008 Presidential campaign has been the most bias coverage I have ever witnessed. John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to have drawn the short straw, because Barack Obama and Joe Biden get away with everything. Joe Biden has said numerous things that support McCain and/or bring down Obama.
When talking about McCain, Biden has said:
"The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain."
"John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against
John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who..."
"I’ve been calling for more troops for over two years, along with John McCain and others
subsequent to my saying that."
When talking about Obama, Biden has said:
"Look, the truth is the four major things he called for, well, hell that’s what I called for," reacting
to an Obama speech on counterterrorism.
"My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an
epiphany. I’ve seen zero evidence of that," assessing Obama's Iraq plan.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean
and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man."
"The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the
more their support will evaporate."
"When this campaign is over, political slogans like ‘experience’ and ‘change’ will mean absolutely
nothing. The next president has to act.”
"I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something
that lends itself to on-the-job training."
"The way to deal with it is not to announce it, it's to do it. . . . The last thing you want to do is
telegraph to the folks in Pakistan that we're about to violate . . . their sovereignty," refferring
Obama's threat to go into Pakistan after Al Qaeda.
"Would I make a blanket commitment to meet unconditionally with the leaders of each of those
countries within the first year I was president? Absolutely, positively no," refferring to
Obama's pledge to meet with leaders of rogue nations.
"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. The world is
looking. We're going to have an international crisis to test the mettle of this guy. I guarantee
you it's gonna happen."
I do not understand why Biden is not having a more difficult time explaining these quotes. It sounds like he likes his opponent more than his running mate. If it was Palin, she would be chewed out by every mass media source and every American.

Barack Obama clearly does not have his priorities straight. He has said, "Well, the first thing I'd do as President is sign the freedom of choice act." This means that the highest thing on his priorities list is making sure that Americans can murder babies as easily as possible. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice this should concern you. Our economy is failing and we are fighting in two wars. Killing babies should not be Obama's top priority if he is President.

Another thing I dislike about Obama is the fact that he is a Socialist, or at least has a Socialist thought process. Barack Obama was a card-carrying, contract-signed socialist in spring of 1996, when he was part of the New Party. Also, in 2006 Obama campaigned for his cousin Raila Odinga in Kenya at taxpayer expense. Odinga pledged to distribute the countries wealth more evenly. This is Socialism 101, and Obama helped campaign for it. When Odinga lost, his supporters went on a killing spree. Now, in 2008 Obama is running the same campaign in America. Just ask Joe the Plumber. Obama told Joe, "I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody." Socialism is a gateway to Communism, and I do not know why Americans are taking that chance by supporting Obama.

The people that have been in Obama's life are not helping his reputation either. If it is true that the apple does not fall far from the tree, then Americans should be more concerned about Obama's company than they are being. I already mentioned Obama's connection with Odinga. There is also Jeremiah Wright. Obama attended Wright's church for 20 years and never complained until America found out who Wright is. Wright is a radical, racist, America hating preacher. Obama allowed this man to brainwash him for 20 years without complaint. I do not care who you are. If you let someone teach you his/her ideals for 20 years, you will tend to absorb some of that ideology into your own beliefs. Another person is Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers is a radical activist who bombed several public buildings, including the Pentagon. Ayers' only regret is that he did not use more bombs. Ayers is an easy person for Obama to explain away, but all these people add up. There is also Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Obama is not directly associated with him, but he has described Obama as the Messiah. This is very dangerous. Obama has also received support from Khalid Al-Mansour. Who is a racist, radical Muslim. All these ties show that Obama has history and relationships with radicalism and socialism. We do not need this man to be our president.

I also dislike Obama because he claims to be a Christian. I find this interesting because many of the things he does are not things that Christians should do. He is pro-homosexual agenda, which God is opposed to (Leviticus 18:22). He is pro-abortion, even though God forbids us to kill (Exodus 20:13). He mocks people for "clinging to guns and religion." He has even mocked the Bible. Also, in an interview, Obama slipped and said he had Muslim faith. The reporter immediately corrected him, help that no Republican candidate would have found, but a closer look shows the following. WorldNetDaily.net has reported that "public records in Indonesia listed Obama as Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was a mosque-attending Muslim."

Please keep Barack Obama out of the White House. He has been influened by radials and by Socialists. He is confused as to what religion he is part of. His priorities are wrong. He is inexperienced. His supporters are dangerous. Why take the chance? Our country is too important.

Just some videos that show what you support if you vote for Obama:

Can McCain Win?

On the National Review Online blog there is a post titled "Steady, Now...". In it, Bill Whittle argues that John McCain can still win the 2008 Presidential campaign by November 4, 2008. Bill Whittle, according to Wikipedia, "is a popular blogger, essayist, national TV editor, and author of the book Silent America." He is a conservative and does not believe in a "Supreme Being." Whittle's intended audience is all Republicans, McCain/Palin supporters, and Obama/Biden opposers. The post begins with a sports metaphor. Whittle states that he is a college football fan. More specifically, Whittle is a Gator fan. He explains how upsetting it was to watch the Gator football team lose when he attended the University of Florida. One instance imparticular was when they played the Georgia Bulldogs. Florida was winning by one, with 90 seconds left, and in 20 seconds Georgia comes up with the lead. Whittle explains, "The last six weeks of McCain’s campaign have felt like those twenty seconds." Whittle then describes a scenario where a losing team comes up with a first down with less than three minutes left, and the fans get excited because they see that their team is not going to give up. According to Whittle, if "the fans" get into the game, then McCain will gather momentum and win the election. It is not something that has never happened. When an underdog gets momentum, the "sure winner" gets caught off guard and panics. Whittle sees McCain's use of Joe the Plumber and quotes such as, "You should have run against President Bush," as game changers. He also reminds the audience that the other team wants them to give up, but that the audience should not play into that trap. Whittle does a great job throughout this post exciting his intended audience. Giving them hope for victory, and encouraging them not to give up. It felt like a locker room speech at half time when your team is behind. I personally, as a Republican, do not think McCain will win. I have predicted Obama's victory for over a year now, despite my dislike for him. People seem to cling to Obama. Even the mass media seems to be more bias for Obama. All that Whittle's intended audience can do now is vote McCain.

Do Parents Know Where Their Kids Are?

I found a commentary from The Christian Science Monitor written by Marilyn Gardner titled, "Most Parenets Do Know Where Their Kids Are." In her commentary, Gardner argues that "American parents are more involved in their children's lives than they were 10 years ago." Gardner states that the US Census Bureau reports that parents are "reading to their children more often, eating more meals together, and monitoring their children's TV viewing." According to Gardner and her findings, parents are more protective of their children and their protection starts early. Parents are using mini-license plates that they attach to their baby's stroller in order to monitor the nanny when they are not home. Other than nannycams, Gardner mentions that parents use GPS monitoring, instant messaging, and cellphones to keep track of their kids. Some parents, such as David Eigen, have access to a website that allows them to keep track of their kids with GPS monitoring. Eigen explains, "I've never done it, but they know I have it." Many parents however, see GPS monitoring too extreme. Gardner goes on to explain the importance of being an involved parent. Columbia University's Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse says that almost "1 in 5 American teens say they live with 'hands off' adults" which puts "these teenagers at a four-times greater risk for smoking, drinking, and illegal drug use." On the other hand, Gardner found a study from Britain that shows that "some parents need to be slightly more hands-off when it comes to children's performance at school and elsewhere." So, in the end it seems that parental involvement and protectiveness has to find its balance.
