OK, I've stood it as long as I can. The mainstream media is so biased in their reporting that it is beyond laughable - it's downright scary. (For some unbiased confirmation of that, go here .) There are so many things that ARE NOT being said that NEED TO BE said. This will probably sound like a rant, but I guess that's what I need to do right now.


First, all those supporting Obama get all uptight and offended when BHO (Barack Hussein Obama) is referred to as a socialist. Well, look at the definition of socialism.


Socialism:
An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalsim, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.





Now, go here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3pck) and listen to BHO's interview with a Chicago radio station in 2001.

Someone in the blogosphere put it best regarding BHO: "He does like to sound all learned and quiet and respectful but his words reveal a radical point of view."

Now, you can dismiss his radio interview as "too long ago to count" (seems to be the mantra for anything that comes up in the BHO campaign that detracts from the Obamasiah) or "that wasn't what he meant (are you kidding me - you seriously expect me to believe you were inside his mind and KNOW what he meant?), but the same theme comes up time and again. Most recently it was displayed in his "Joe the Plumber" encounter. Redistribution of wealth, spread the wealth around, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's all the same and he never changes his opinion on that.

Bring all this together along with his ticket's various ways of saying the rich should pay for the poor (i.e. the well-to-do should consider it their patriotic duty to pay more taxes), and we have a clear idea of what the former Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, (and who was later the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) was told by Nikita Khrushchev about the idea of communism infiltrating our country. Here's an excerpt of that discussion: "As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live under freedom he arrogantly declared in substance: “‘You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.’"

Again, you will find nay-sayers who will deny this ever happened. All I need to know is President Ezra Taft Benson wrote a book and his encounter is chronicled in this book. Unless you were with then-Secretary of Agriculture Benson and Nikita Khrushchev, you don't have the authority discount it.



And, as a final note, I bring to light what my sister and I were talking about this morning. The last time Democrats held the office of president and controlled the Congress, the unemployment rate was approaching 10% and the 12-13% interest rates on mortgages hadn't peaked yet. During Carter's administration, the economy suffered double-digit inflation coupled with very high interest rates, oil shortages, high unemployment and slow economic growth. You really think those were the "good ol' days?" Should BHO get in, remember you have to keep your eye on Pelosi and Reid, too.



My rant is over - for now. I can't promise that I won't go off again before next week. So, my parting thought is this:





VOTE McCAIN/PALIN - SERIOUSLY!!
