- Senator Obama: A Danger to American Sovereignty?-

There seems to be this sick infatuation with Obama to the point that people were actually crying, yes crying, while Obama gave his acceptance speech at the DNC convention this past week. Reporters, the same people that are supposed to do 'honest reporting' were cheering on Obama, literally reverting back to their 12 year old infantile ways of astoundment and awe struck faces; much like a child does the first time they see Mickey mouse.

Wake up America! For once it's time for someone to tell generation give-me, generation entitlement, or generation now (whatever you want to call it), that words don’t mean anything. Actions are the testament of true character. And yes, telling the American politic that government is not the answer to everything constitutes honesty and character on the part of the politician. In fact there are some things (actually most things) that the government should keep their grubby little hands off. Obama seems to either subscribe to socialism or is unwilling to tell people what they really need to hear...the truth. I sure hope it’s the latter but fear the former.

If for a second you stop and look rationally at the Obama speech he, in a sense, advocates full socialism in America. Too harsh? Don’t believe it? Look for yourself at his speech. Obama wants to socialize health care. But rather than invoke the socialist word that is unpoetic and might dissuade voters from electing him he deceivingly calls it "universal" health care.

Still not convinced? Look at taxes. Obama apparently believes that the government is more fit to spend your money than you are. We hear how Obama will only raise the taxes of households making over 250,000 dollars a year but think about the implications this will most assuredly have. Anyone that owns a business will cease to hire employees creating a need for even more governmental programs to support the ever growing jobless sector necessitated by Obama's policy (This doesnt even go into teh fact that America has some of the highest corporate tax rates in teh world yet we wonder bhy companies are moving over seas with the jobs they provide. Its all Bush's fault...Duh). He also seems unable to grasp the fact that money best contributes to society and the economy when it is actually in the market and not Big Government’s piggy bank. After all big government fixes everything, and knows better than you how to spend your money; at least according to Obama's proposals. Wouldn’t another bridge to nowhere be wonderful?

Obama also advocates governmental restrictions on where the market can get its energy. He opposes new drilling in ANWR. Even though Alaskans advocate for drilling, Obama would rather dictate the policy of energy to the "free" market. Obama knows better than Alaska on this issue. Trust him. In fact America has more oil than the undercover terrorist state of Saudi Arabia yet Obama wishes to impede capitalism in an effort to tell we the people what is best for us. Just inflate your tires properly and the fuel issue will subside. Leave the rest to Obama.

Obama wants to bail out all the people that borrowed more than they could afford while purchasing a house. Apparently personal responsibility isn’t a main concern in his campaign. Don’t worry. You won’t have to do a thing. The government will be responsible for you.

Education? Don’t worry. Uncle Sam will swipe away the realized American dream from the "rich" so that you will never have to sacrifice in order to realize your own American dream. And old Uncle will be glad to pay your way to the top whether you deserve it or not. Just beware: Once you get that dream Obama will be sure to take away all you "worked" for because you now have become the evil rich that is anti-American and represents the evil part of American society the liberals dispise.

So will someone please explain where the liberty of America will be found once Obama gets his way and the government controls healthcare, where your money goes, restricts free trade, and controls education? Is this not socialism? If not, what is? What more is there for the government to get their hands on once all these policies are implemented that could make America more socialist?

I have to give Obama one thing, he can speak. But, so could Hitler. Its not that I believe he will start executing masses of people (aside from a few conservatives if he could). Such an assertion would be foolish. America can take and should take one lesson though, which is, actions speak louder than words. And also that we should never set aside our judgment and rational thought for an emotion evoking orator.

When the constitutional convention adjourned, and as Benjamin Franklin left Independence Hall for the last time, a woman queried Mr. Franklin as to what kind of government he had given them. Franklin replied, "A republic...If you can keep it.” If Obama is elected it is just one fatal leap that would bring into fruition Franklin's implied fear. Either the citizens of this newly created free society would someday be too lazy or unable to keep and maintain the righteousness of liberty.

Let’s hope America has better sense than this and that between now and November America wakes up and votes with their head. America can’t afford the type of change Obama promises to bring, and will most likely deliver, if elected.
