OT- Politics-The Obama Tidal Wave

[Jarhead]

The Obama Tidal Wave



We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare magnitude. His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of "Change" or that he says he will be a "Uniter". The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and both his manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions. On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions and the results were catastrophic. Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for many Americans out there feeling just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, the real story is what happens when it hits shore.

Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:



· He voted against banning partial " birth abortion.

· He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

· Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.

· In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.

· Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.

· Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.

· His religious convictions are very murky.

· He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il andMahmoud Ahmadinejad.

· Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.

· Opposed the Patriot Act.

· First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.

· Wants to make the minimum wage a "living wage".

· Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.

· Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.

· Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.

· He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax

· He voted No on repealing the "Death" Tax

· He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.

· Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.

· He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.



If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama's and you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride.... If you are like most Americans that after examining what he stands for, are truly not in line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave or better yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and undermines the very foundations of this great Country. We have limited time to save America or the Supreme Court as we know it. Inaction is action.

Obama is even more of a leftist than Hillary, though that is hard to imagine. If either is elected President, some very dark days will follow.

I am not a McCain fan, but next to these clowns, he looks like a shining star!

He is also against private citizens being able to get concealed carry licenses. He wants to disarm everyone.

I guess there just wasn't enough proof in the world that socialism won't work.

No. I think there was plenty of proof through the years. It just seems that
dummies can't be kept from running head first into walls. I just had a word
pop into my mind....

Lemmings.

My mother, God rest her soul, had a saying: "Garbage in? Garbage OUT."

What you are seeing here is the results of a full generation having their minds poisoned by trash TV like Springer, Oprah, Jackass etc.; hollyweird's best efforts to portray the abominable and sick as normal; and the public education system's best efforts to insure that our children learn 'tolerance' for things that wouldn't be allowed within a rifle shot of the homes they grew up in.

The culture war has reached critical mass, people. We are about to find out if we have lost.
