Since the recent Presidential debates in Saddleback church were mainly about character and less about the candidate’s relationship with God, it is difficult to comprehend liberals Linda Blair-like reaction.

What I do find interesting is that when the topic of religious influences came up, Obama conveniently neglected to mention Reverend Wright, his mentor and leader of the church of segregation. A church where Obama spent nearly half of his life had his children baptized and got married.

Liberals’ assertion that intellectual capacity is the supreme measure of a leader could not be more wrong. While McCain had clear, concise, and decisive answers which made him the clear winner of the debate, Obama’s intellectual attempt to straddle both sides of each question made him look like an appeasing politician trying to please both sides.

I find it hilarious that since John McCain knows who he is, what he stands for, and was therefore able to answer the questions instantly and that Obama hemmed and hawed his way through the whole debate, liberals could only surmise that McCain must have cheated.

What level of bitterness leads a human being to think of a child saying grace aloud in a public school lunchroom as a cause for litigation? Do liberals really feel that any reference to God suffered by their children is mental contamination and thus grounds for a lawsuit? 

Ironically, the ACLU and their fanatic cronies are every bit as zealous trying to obliterate God from society as Tomas de Torquemada was in trying to purify the people of Europe during the Spanish Inquisition.

Obama’s Kool-Aid Brigade

I hoped that the recent priapism that Bill O’Reilly developed for Obama was merely a clever ploy to lure Obama into his no spin zone. After further observation it is clear that O’Reilly has crossed over and has gone under the spell of our would-be messiah.

Since O’Reilly’s slobbery excoriation of Laura Ingraham for making fun of Obama and his constant challenges of the sage Karl Rove, it is clear that someone from the Obama camp has been managing to spike the Kool-Aid on the set of the O’Reilly Factor.

As for this viewer and many like me, my factor gear has found a new home in the round file and I find myself longing for Gilligan’s Island reruns at the 8 pm hour.

Since Obama was so worried about people thinking that visiting our wounded soldiers would be viewed as a political tactic, he chose not to go. Therefore, it is fair to say that Obama is more worried about public perception than doing what is right. Talk about courage.

If I voted against funding those who were severely wounded protecting my safety and I had no concern for the success of their mission, I, like Obama, would not be able to look them in the eye and would refuse to visit.

The good news is there just may be a hint of conscience in our would-be messiah.

Contrary to public sentiment, one cannot support the troops and not support their mission. That’s like saying “I love construction workers and contractors but I wish there were no houses and buildings.” Our troops are smarter than that.

Despite my abject empathy for Obama’s embarrassment at the United States’ lack of foreign language prowess, I’m afraid I do not share his emotion. Similarly, I do not feel compelled to learn Spanish because some rookie politician says I must.

I do not aspire to be French, German, Spanish or any other European designation and I will not live my life with the sole pursuit of pleasing foreign nations. Nor will I ever be embarrassed of my country because some elitist seeking cocktail credibility blushes at the thought of being disliked by Cannes Film Festival regulars. I am an American. I speak English.

Although I can speak a great deal of Spanish, I learned it because I wanted to not because I needed to. Soon we will have to learn just to be able to shop at a retail outlet or understand local landscaping and house cleaning services. At the present rate, we will have no choice and Spanish will become the dominant language in the USA.

Instead of being embarrassed, I am proud that the entire world has learned English in order to engage in commerce with the leader of the free world.
