Pardon this brief interlude of “political blogging,” this foray into frustration, this petulant toe-in-the-water post in which I attempt to alleviate the growing pressure inside my head.
Barack Hussein Obama is an “articulate” infanticide-supporting liberal who doesn’t like being called a liberal.
And he’s going to be our next president.
I have no grand theories about why this is so. I just have a feeling he’ll be living in the White House come November. I feel no “racial pride” that he’s the first black major party nominee or that he’ll be the first black president of the United States, because values trump race in my world. Anyone who believes it’s OK for “doctors” to crush the heads of infants in the birth canal isn’t getting my vote. If you’re black and pro-life but feel “torn” between racial pride about his nomination and disgust for his pro-death stance, shame on you. Get your priorities straight.
I am as disenchanted with John McCain as other social conservatives. His nomination is doubly frustrating for us evangelical Christians. Aside from his wobbly record on pro-life issues and the fact that he cheated on and left his wife for a newer model (Newt Gingrich did it twice!), I simply don’t trust the man. Well, I don’t trust any politician, really.
But that’s neither here nor there. I consider my right to vote a duty, which was fought for and won by those who came before me, people who protested and picketed and pushed to be recognized and treated as first class citizens of this great country. I can’t not vote. So, on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, I will head to my polling place. What I’ll do after that, I do not know.
Who are you voting for, and why? If you’re voting for BHO, I promise I won’t jump all over you. 
Addendum: “President Bush has signed an executive order requiring contractors and others who do business with the federal government to make sure their employees can legally work in the U.S.” (Source)
I think this order will be pretty much ignored during BHO’s administration. No grand theories about why this is so…
Update (2 p.m.): Commenter and blogger SkyePuppy writes:
“Obama wants to chit-chat (strongly, of course) with Ahmadinejad and other genocidal leaders. At the same time, he has promised to decimate the American military, abandon Iraq (which finally on the brink of a tenuous stability) to whatever strongman fills the vacuum left behind by the US forces, and give the Palestinians a ‘contiguous’ state (which would mean chopping Israel in two). I think he must have flunked geography at the same time he flunked foreign affairs.
“At home, he wants to treat the economic slowdown by taxing it into a Great Depression II. He wants to give us government healthcare, abortion on demand (including the precious infanticide), and Michelle ‘Not Proud of America’ Obama as our First Lady.” Read the rest of her comment.
