Are People that Stupid?

At the risk of offending a few of the readers of my blog, I can't be civil any longer about Obama.

He was here in Cobb County today, speaking before some rally and I heard a few of the clips from the event on the news. The guy is a good speaker, I'll give him that. He's not great, but compared to everyone else that ran this year, Republican or Dem, he's the best out there.

But do any of you supporters of Obama really understand and want the type of America he's talking about? Do you really want to shift this country that far left, to the nanny state he espouses? Do you really believe that the best way to solve our problem is through MORE GOVERNMENT? That the government, whether it's at the local, state or federal level is the best deliver of goods and services? Such as Healthcare?

What about the tax upon tax upon tax that he wants to place on the achievers in this country? Are you so ignorant of the basics of supply and demand, of capitalism, of free enterprise, to really believe that his plan of shifting even more of the tax burden on the top income earners will bring this country out of the problems it's in? How will it do that? Please, someone tell me.

Would just one of his supporters tell me how ANY of his plans will solve the fiscal issues we now face? How will his plan to nationalize healthcare, creating a HUGE government bureaucracy, help to bring down the cost of healthcare? How will it provide better coverage? HOW?

Are you really so brain-numbed by the reality shows , by the American Idol shows or the rest of the garbage that passes for network TV that you're willing to give over your freedom, your livelihood, your money in order to not have to deal with issues and problems yourself? Do you really believe the government is there to take care of you from cradle to grave?

I know some of you are voting for Obama in a reflex action against Bush and the Republicans. I can understand that. While I still support Bush and his war on terror and the War in Iraq, I agree that he's been a very controversial President and his fiscal and social policies and programs could hardly be considered conservative. And the Republican nominee, McCain isn't a dynamic politician that inspires and excites the masses. Admitily our choices this year are pretty pitiful.

But my god people, do some reading, do some research! Try to understand what Obama really means when he talks about change. Look at his voting record, look at why he's been judged the most liberal voting Senator in the Senate today. Even more liberal than Ted Kennedy! Get past the platitudes and the feel good rhetoric and look at what his election would mean for you, your family and your country. How safe are you going to be under Obama?
