This is well worth reading the whole article! But here is what should motivate you to go vote if you have not:
I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything. Being in a position to know these things, I will rate what the Obama campaign already knows are their weak links from the most important on down.

Peaceful Islam - by population increase
I was having a conversation recently about whether or not Islam is generally peaceful and I wanted to share this information with my friend with whom I was talking. I just did not know where to find it - it turned up again on FreeRepublic, so I thought I would post it here for anyone who is interested.

What Muslim Population Increase Brings
Don Morris writes at Doc’s Talk (thanks to Janet Levy):
...As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2. 7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of “Dar-es-Salaam” — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

Vote Against Obama
This is circulating the internet. The writer makes some good points.
Dear Mr. Obama,
It is August 30, 2008. My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something
conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely,
including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national
convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably
shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is
shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent
you from becoming president of this nation, I do think there is an
awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that the media
and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long
term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate.
This is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very
thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for
picking Sarah Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington
insider. She is a maverick who cleaned-up Alaska's quagmire of political
scandals. Which way is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a
Washington insider under the mantra of 'change', but not okay for John
McCain to pick a smart, aggressive, reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This
indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry
black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different
generation. I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every
other human alive. Unlike the democratic party who claims to be for the
minority (but their record heavily refutes this), I will give any person
who truly needs help, help. I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago
(she is Hispanic) and have seen the evils of prejudice first hand.
However, I have also seen my wife and my children and others in her
family throw off the veil of self imposed prejudicial bondage and move
ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different
than I view myself as a citizen of this country. Your lovely wife so
disappointed people like me during this campaign when she stated it was
the first time she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently
never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She
apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally millions of veterans
who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate other
nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently does
not remember that she attended ivy league universities with scholarship
money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes.
This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who
appears to not like her country very much. I don't want her representing
me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible
teaches that he who does not work, does not eat. The Bible does not say
or even suggest that he who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your
liberal policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to
not do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes
will spiral upwards. You should heed the words of Winston Churchill: 'We
contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a
man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.'
If I like anything about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the
federal budget. Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times
from a number of different politicians and we realize that when you
energize the very liberal Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc,
etc, and the many other democrats like them, a balanced budget will
never, ever happen on your watch.
4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of
Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life
begin, stunned me: 'Above your pay grade?' Does this mean when something
bad happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at
your salary to determine if you can respond? I am sorry, but this was
the most serious gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that
you are pandering in the most obvious manner. You will choose your words
not from your heart, but from an agenda that I believe is still hidden
from the American people.
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement
mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with
the latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not
sure appeasement is healthy. I again revert to the words of Winston
Churchill: 'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat
him last.'
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must
have the parents approval to have the school nurse provide them with a
Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can
become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the hell out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have
watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically
embrace Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the
continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood, the very people who
promote you the most vigorously. It is not a positive point to me and
others like me to see these over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human
existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as hard as
they do. The way I see it; When the devil is for you, we should question
whether or not we should be against you.In closing, I just want you to
know that you scare me. I cannot vote for you. It is not because of your
skin color. It is because these items I've listed and many, many others
like them. Do not claim that my dislike for you is race based. It is
because I do not feel you have the best interests of this nation at heart.
Respectfully,
Mark A. Gregg

Obama and the Left
Thomas Sowell makes some excellent points about Obama's relationship with left wing extremists:
Although Senator Barack Obama has been allied with a succession of far left individuals over the years, that is only half the story. There are, after all, some honest and decent people on the left. But these have not been the ones that Obama has been allied with— allied, not merely "associated" with.
ACORN is not just an organization on the left. In addition to the voter frauds that ACORN has been involved in over the years, it is an organization with a history of thuggery, including going to bankers' homes to harass them and their families, in order to force banks to lend to people with low credit ratings.
Nor was Barack Obama's relationship with ACORN just a matter of once being their attorney long ago. More recently, he has directed hundreds of thousands of dollars their way. Money talks— and what it says is more important than a politician's rhetoric in an election year.
Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger are not just people with left-wing opinions. They are reckless demagogues preaching hatred of the lowest sort— and both are recipients of money from Obama.
Bill Ayers is not just "an education professor" who has some left-wing views. He is a confessed and unrepentant terrorist, who more recently has put his message of resentment into the schools— an effort using money from a foundation that Obama headed.
Nor has the help all been one way. During the last debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, Senator McCain mentioned that Senator Obama's political campaign began in Bill Ayers' home. Obama immediately denied it and McCain had no real follow-up.
It was not this year's political campaign that Obama began in Bill Ayers' home but an earlier campaign for the Illinois state legislature. Barack Obama can match Bill Clinton in slickness at parsing words to evade accusations.
That is one way to get to the White House. But slickness with words is not going to help a president deal with either domestic economic crises or the looming dangers of a nuclear Iran.
People who think that talking points on this or that problem constitute "the real issues" that we should be talking about, instead of Obama's track record, ignore a very fundamental fact about representative government.

Why I Can't Vote for Obama
A friend of mine wrote this and sent it to me today. I posted it here with her permission.
Dear Friends & Family,
Who can’t help but like Barak Obama? He is handsome and charming with a message of hope! What a great speaker!
How I wish that my mother could be here to see the first black man on the presidential ballot. She would be so excited. My mother was passionate about Civil Rights before it was popular or politically correct. I share her enthusiasm and long to see a world that is color blind. That is why it saddens me to admit that I am unable in good conscience to vote for Obama.
Would you take time right now from your busy schedule and allow me to share these reasons with you. Please prayerfully consider them.
1. Obama talks about lowering taxes for the middle class, but in looking at his voting record, I am unable to find a single time that he has voted to ease the tax burden on the middle class. Although, I want to believe his promise, I have to look at his track record. His track record is one of voting to raise taxes. Please see his voting record at this site: http://votesmart.org/index.htm and especially see Tax and budget issues: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=9490&type=category&category=10&go.x=17&go.y=16 .
2. I’m tired of high gas prices. Even though they are going down at the moment, they are still too high. In fact, I don’t want to buy oil from foreign nations anymore. Obama stated in his third debate that “oil companies have to drill on their land or lose it.” What did he mean by that? Who would they lose the land to? The Federal Government? Are we talking about nationalized oil companies? I certainly hope not, but Obama is very vague and that scares me. Nationalized oil companies are something I DON’T want! Does Obama want socialized, nationalized oil companies? Isn’t America still a Free Market nation? Oil companies have excessive regulations and restrictions on them that make it nearly impossible to drill. I would like these restrictions eased, while still protecting our beautiful land and oceans. But, I want to drill the Gulf. I want to drill Alaska. I want to drill North Dakota and anywhere else there is oil in our nation.
3. Unfortunately, though Obama declares his support of Israel, I am unable to believe him because of his ties to Arab terrorists. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East. I want the USA to stand beside her, not undermine her by secret deals with her sworn enemies. When Obama talks about sitting down with no preconditions with countries and leaders that desire to wipe Israel off the face of the map, I am concerned…greatly concerned.
4. Obama uses the term “distribution of wealth” quite frequently in his speeches and in the debates. I have read The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and recognize that term from this book. Although Biden uses the term “let’s be fair,” this team is putting forward as their platform the principles in this book. Since I am not a Marxist/Communist, I find this rather frightening. In fact, haven’t the countries that have tried communism found that it doesn’t work? Didn’t we win the “Cold War?” Why are we trying something that is a failed theory???? I challenge you to read The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx with Obama’s own campaign platform from his own website and compare the two. You will be shocked to find all the similarities. Obama’s platform: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ Here is a place you can download the book for free as a pdf file: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/index.htm
5. In the last debate, Obama mentioned that we have to “win the trust” of countries that have “lost faith” in us. His plan to “win their trust,” he went on to explain was to give them EVEN MORE foreign aid. That was very frustrating to me. I am tired of giving away billions of dollars to countries that burn our flags, insult us, and undermine our foreign policies. I certainly don’t want to give these countries MORE aid. In fact, I want to give them LESS aid or none at all.
6. When talking about health care, Obama promised in the second debate that uninsured Americans would be insured by “the same company that insures our senators and congressman.” Something struck me as odd and the next day I investigated to find out just who that “insurance company” was. I was surprised and shocked to find out that the “company” was a federal agency. This “company” is called “Federal Employees Health Benefits Program,” and is not like any company I’ve ever seen. Get on their site and investigate. They talk about selection and choice, but no other companies are ever mentioned. Hmm. At least 70% of the “premium” is paid by the federal government. Yes, they may “subcontract” with other companies, but this “company” Obama wants to have us be insured by is the federal government. See their website: http://opm.gov/insure/health/about/fehb.asp Try to find some proof that this is a real company. After investigating, I felt that I had been deceived by Obama’s rhetoric. I don’t want socialized medicine. I think socialized medicine is foolish and a drain on the economy. I would like tax cuts to purchase my own insurance and laws putting a check on greed in the insurance companies. I would like more, not less, competition. Socialized medicine is not the way I want to go. Please, give me more money in my pocket, so that I can choose my own plan.
7. Obama has talked about bringing soldiers home from Iraq. But when I listened to him in the second and third debate, I heard him wanting to send our troops all over the place. In fact, he wanted to increase, not decrease, our involvement in other nation’s problems, including Darfur. All I could think about was how much it would all cost. Shouldn’t we finish the job we started in Iraq and then come home with our heads held high? I don’t want to leave before the job is finished, like we did in Vietnam.
8. Business and corruption don’t have to go hand in hand. There is an old saying that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I agree with that statement. It is true of people in government. It is true of people in business. The government and businesses should be separate entities. No more government subsidies, no more government bail-outs, and no more of the government micromanaging business decisions. Let’s require government to have a limited amount of laws and regulations that keep businesses in check. John McCain and Sarah Palin both have experience in cleaning up corruption. But let’s leave business to private citizens. The government simply makes a mess of business (and other things too!)! Let’s let government govern and businesses conduct business. In the end, everyone will be better off.
9. I have concerns about the company that Obama keeps. You can tell a lot about a man or woman by the people that surround them. That is why it concerns me that Obama has ties to ACORN and William Ayers. One of ACORN’s less fraudulent schemes (but dangerous!) was coercing banks into giving loans to those who could not afford to pay them back. They played their own role in the current banking disaster! William Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist. The Hamas leader, Ahmed Yousef, and other terrorist leaders have endorsed Obama. Why is Obama so popular with people who support terror? Why is Obama so popular with people who hate Israel? Why is Obama so popular with people who hate the United States of America? That concerns me. Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world and a big giver to and supporter of Abortion, is funding Barak Obama. Has Obama promised him a role of power? Can wealth buy power? I hope not.
10. Though Americans are divided with some being Pro-Life and others Pro-Abortion, most Americans find partial birth abortions distasteful and morally reprehensible. I was shocked and saddened by Obama’s reaction in the third debate to the question of partial birth abortion. He stood firmly in support of abortion, even if the method was barbaric, inflicting torture upon unborn babies. When babies are born alive from botched late-term abortions, he voted to outlaw giving those children care. He wants to leave those babies to die. Please explain that to me? There are many people in this land who would gladly adopt these children. I am of the conviction that you cannot treat life with contemptuous disregard and expect the blessing of God on your nation.
11. Yes, I know I said ten reasons, but this last reason is more subjective, so I don’t want to count it as one of the ten. I may be completely wrong here, but I don’t sense in Obama a love for this nation. Would he lay down his life for the USA or for the Americans he wants to lead? I can’t answer that question for him. I don’t see that love for our nation in him like I do in John McCain. There is confidence in my heart that John McCain would gladly give his life, his reputation, and the outcome of this election for his beloved United States of America. I want someone leading this nation who loves her. I will vote for someone who puts America first and thinks that she, though flawed, is the most wonderful nation in the world.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. May God bless you in every way!

Dear Friends & Family,
Who can’t help but like Barak Obama? He is handsome and charming with a message of hope! What a great speaker!
How I wish that my mother could be here to see the first black man on the presidential ballot. She would be so excited. My mother was passionate about Civil Rights before it was popular or politically correct. I share her enthusiasm and long to see a world that is color blind. That is why it saddens me to admit that I am unable in good conscience to vote for Obama.
Would you take time right now from your busy schedule and allow me to share these reasons with you. Please prayerfully consider them.
1. Obama talks about lowering taxes for the middle class, but in looking at his voting record, I am unable to find a single time that he has voted to ease the tax burden on the middle class. Although, I want to believe his promise, I have to look at his track record. His track record is one of voting to raise taxes. Please see his voting record at this site: http://votesmart.org/index.htm and especially see Tax and budget issues: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=9490&type=category&category=10&go.x=17&go.y=16 .
2. I’m tired of high gas prices. Even though they are going down at the moment, they are still too high. In fact, I don’t want to buy oil from foreign nations anymore. Obama stated in his third debate that “oil companies have to drill on their land or lose it.” What did he mean by that? Who would they lose the land to? The Federal Government? Are we talking about nationalized oil companies? I certainly hope not, but Obama is very vague and that scares me. Nationalized oil companies are something I DON’T want! Does Obama want socialized, nationalized oil companies? Isn’t America still a Free Market nation? Oil companies have excessive regulations and restrictions on them that make it nearly impossible to drill. I would like these restrictions eased, while still protecting our beautiful land and oceans. But, I want to drill the Gulf. I want to drill Alaska. I want to drill North Dakota and anywhere else there is oil in our nation.
3. Unfortunately, though Obama declares his support of Israel, I am unable to believe him because of his ties to Arab terrorists. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East. I want the USA to stand beside her, not undermine her by secret deals with her sworn enemies. When Obama talks about sitting down with no preconditions with countries and leaders that desire to wipe Israel off the face of the map, I am concerned…greatly concerned.
4. Obama uses the term “distribution of wealth” quite frequently in his speeches and in the debates. I have read The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and recognize that term from this book. Although Biden uses the term “let’s be fair,” this team is putting forward as their platform the principles in this book. Since I am not a Marxist/Communist, I find this rather frightening. In fact, haven’t the countries that have tried communism found that it doesn’t work? Didn’t we win the “Cold War?” Why are we trying something that is a failed theory???? I challenge you to read The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx with Obama’s own campaign platform from his own website and compare the two. You will be shocked to find all the similarities. Obama’s platform: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ Here is a place you can download the book for free as a pdf file: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/index.htm
5. In the last debate, Obama mentioned that we have to “win the trust” of countries that have “lost faith” in us. His plan to “win their trust,” he went on to explain was to give them EVEN MORE foreign aid. That was very frustrating to me. I am tired of giving away billions of dollars to countries that burn our flags, insult us, and undermine our foreign policies. I certainly don’t want to give these countries MORE aid. In fact, I want to give them LESS aid or none at all.
6. When talking about health care, Obama promised in the second debate that uninsured Americans would be insured by “the same company that insures our senators and congressman.” Something struck me as odd and the next day I investigated to find out just who that “insurance company” was. I was surprised and shocked to find out that the “company” was a federal agency. This “company” is called “Federal Employees Health Benefits Program,” and is not like any company I’ve ever seen. Get on their site and investigate. They talk about selection and choice, but no other companies are ever mentioned. Hmm. At least 70% of the “premium” is paid by the federal government. Yes, they may “subcontract” with other companies, but this “company” Obama wants to have us be insured by is the federal government. See their website: http://opm.gov/insure/health/about/fehb.asp Try to find some proof that this is a real company. After investigating, I felt that I had been deceived by Obama’s rhetoric. I don’t want socialized medicine. I think socialized medicine is foolish and a drain on the economy. I would like tax cuts to purchase my own insurance and laws putting a check on greed in the insurance companies. I would like more, not less, competition. Socialized medicine is not the way I want to go. Please, give me more money in my pocket, so that I can choose my own plan.
7. Obama has talked about bringing soldiers home from Iraq. But when I listened to him in the second and third debate, I heard him wanting to send our troops all over the place. In fact, he wanted to increase, not decrease, our involvement in other nation’s problems, including Darfur. All I could think about was how much it would all cost. Shouldn’t we finish the job we started in Iraq and then come home with our heads held high? I don’t want to leave before the job is finished, like we did in Vietnam.
8. Business and corruption don’t have to go hand in hand. There is an old saying that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I agree with that statement. It is true of people in government. It is true of people in business. The government and businesses should be separate entities. No more government subsidies, no more government bail-outs, and no more of the government micromanaging business decisions. Let’s require government to have a limited amount of laws and regulations that keep businesses in check. John McCain and Sarah Palin both have experience in cleaning up corruption. But let’s leave business to private citizens. The government simply makes a mess of business (and other things too!)! Let’s let government govern and businesses conduct business. In the end, everyone will be better off.
9. I have concerns about the company that Obama keeps. You can tell a lot about a man or woman by the people that surround them. That is why it concerns me that Obama has ties to ACORN and William Ayers. One of ACORN’s less fraudulent schemes (but dangerous!) was coercing banks into giving loans to those who could not afford to pay them back.

Scary Words from the Obama Camp
Michelle Obama in a speech in California:
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed."
So we are going to be required, ie. forced, to do what, exactly? What happened to the right to be left alone? Do we want to have the government telling us how we must live? Who the h*ll is Barak Obama to tell me how to live, much less how to think?! (And why does this woman irritate me so much?)
Joe Biden:
"Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
David Rockefeller:
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis..."
A crisis generated by leftists to achieve leftist goals? Does this make you nervous at all?
Barak Obama:
“If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.”
"I will call on a new generation of Americans to join our military.... I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose."
Sounds like he is proposing some type of a draft - perhaps a service requirement for everyone, with a choice between civilian and military service. It also sounds like there is going to be pressure to have common goals, leftist goals of course.
Barak Obama:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Bill Ayers:
“Yes, I think there ought to be a draft into public service, no exceptions—maybe every 10 yrs from the age of 18 we should give a year to what WE determine in a democratic process to be the COMMON GOOD.”
Who determines it? Who will be telling us what to do?
Do you value freedom? The left says they do, but they are the ones who are talking about required service. Our freedom is going to be curtailed if this man is elected. Please don't do it.
Again, do you value freedom? Really? Or do you just want "change?"

What Kind of America Do You Want?
Here is an excerpt of an article from the Witherspoon Institute about Obama's extreme views regarding abortion. It is a long article, but it is well worth reading. Abortion is not the only thing I consider when evaluating a candidate, but I admit that I would have a hard time voting for someone who believes the right to unrestricted abortion is paramount. I absolutely could never vote for someone with views on abortion like Obama. Click on the title for the entire article which gives the specifics on Obama's views on the rights of the most helpless among us.
------
What kind of America do we want our beloved nation to be? Barack Obama's America is one in which being human just isn't enough to warrant care and protection. It is an America where the unborn may legitimately be killed without legal restriction, even by the grisly practice of partial-birth abortion. It is an America where a baby who survives abortion is not even entitled to comfort care as she dies on a stainless steel table or in a soiled linen bin. It is a nation in which some members of the human family are regarded as inferior and others superior in fundamental dignity and rights. In Obama's America, public policy would make a mockery of the great constitutional principle of the equal protection of the law. In perhaps the most telling comment made by any candidate in either party in this election year, Senator Obama, when asked by Rick Warren when a baby gets human rights, replied: ''that question is above my pay grade.'' It was a profoundly disingenuous answer: For even at a state senator's pay grade, Obama presumed to answer that question with blind certainty. His unspoken answer then, as now, is chilling: human beings have no rights until infancy - and if they are unwanted survivors of attempted abortions, not even then.

Obama Wants to Spread the Wealth Around
Your wealth of course....
From Fox News:
Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to "spread the wealth around" -- a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a "socialist" at the Republican's rallies.
Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.
"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed "more and more for fulfilling the American dream."
"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Senator McCain, It is Time to Get Serious about This Campaign!
Sarracuda is serious about exposing the real Obama! How about you?
“The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house — because those aren’t smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008
