A Referendum on America
Posted by Dave Blount at October 30, 2008 11:22 AM
Next week's election is more than a choice between a left-wing Democrat and a centrist Republican. It's a referendum on whether this will continue to be America, the Last Best Hope, or Change into just another country.
You don't need to be particularly conservative to see this. From the moderate Dr. Slogan's Prescriptions:
How about close relationships with people involved in international terror? Or laser sharp focus on indoctrinating children? Or a laundry list of every modern-day tyrant openly expressing support? Or persistent suppression of free speech? Or going for twenty years (and bringing children) into a church that openly promotes hate of white people, just as [it] openly supports Hamas and condemns our country on regular basis? Or campaigning for a radical with Islamic ties who threw a stable country into a bloody mess? Or close ties with people who led an organization that unapologetically bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and a police station and who were on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List? Or vote fraud of monstrous proportions? Or accepting a flow of donations from unidentified foreign sources?
[…T]his election is no longer about choosing between Republicans and Democrats. It's about choosing between our democratic system as we know it and a totally different state. In that state — which Sen. Obama and people behind him have been working hard to create, free speech will be not so free. In that state, tolerance will not be so tolerant. And in that state many things you've been taking for granted will slowly but steadily cease to exist.
America as we know it could cease to exist, given the help Obama can expect from a radicalized, Dem-controlled Congress. But on the bright side, second-rate countries won't resent us anymore.
