Last Shreds Of Sanity

I had to post this letter from my Big Bro's blog. He said everything I was already thinking, funny how family works that way, huh? Now read this and then go give him some bloggy love.

Open Letter To President Barack Obama
from Hard Reset by KSS

Mr. President,

Tomorrow you will become the first black president in the history of the United States of America. I congratulate you on this history making accomplishment. You genuinely seem to be a decent man, and maybe someone I would enjoy talking to over a beer, at least until the conversation turned to politics. That's when things might turn sour.

Now let me tell you why I don't, and will not support you. First and foremost, despite all your soaring rhetoric, you are a socialist and by definition you do not believe in the core principals that this country was founded on. Second, you are the most thoroughly un-vetted person to ever ascend to this office, you have yet to release a legitimate birth certificate, despite the fact that doing so would quash all the speculation about your true place of birth and citizenship. Third, it is already apparent that you intend to try to spend your way out of the current financial crisis, something that has never worked in the history of government, ever. Yet somehow you contend that this time it will work despite all historical
evidence to the contrary.

Next let's talk about your friends, and boy do you have some winners there. For twenty years you considered an America hating racist pastor as your close friend and mentor. And when called to task for this you claim you had no idea about his views and that in twenty years of attendance at the church you never once heard him say anything like that. This excuse means you are either oblivious to what is right in front of your face or an ass covering liar, neither of which gives me confidence in your ability to hold the office to which you are about to ascend.

You launched you political career in the living room of a home grown terrorist named Bill Ayers, whose actions directly led to the deaths of two police officers, one of them a black man. Yet you served on boards with this man, lived in the same neighborhood and even wrote a preface for one of his books. When called to answer for this relationship you claimed he was just a guy in your neighborhood. After you had won the election however Ayers began calling you a family friend again- funny that.

These are just two of the most egregious examples of more than questionable associations you have had over the years, to go through all of them would take up far too much room here. Mr. President, you are known by the company you keep. And I fear there is a reason for the company you have chosen to keep over the course of your short political career.

But my biggest problem with you Mr. President is that I believe you intend to take this country down the the road to Marxist Socialism, and that is completely unacceptable. Everything I have read written about you, everything I have read that you yourself have written and everything I have ever heard you say reinforces this conclusion. Put in to that mix Speaker Pelosi and the even crazier Harry Reid and I see this country headed down a road to utter ruin. From trying to make permanent bans on offshore drilling to your "Civilian Defense Force"- whatever that is- I see you wanting to make decisions that will adversely affect this country long after you are out of office.

Perhaps it is the radicals who educated you, or the radicals with whom you chose to associate both personally and professionally, perhaps it was the communist ideology that brought your parents together in the first place that was later infused in you, or maybe it's a combination of those and what I suspect is your foreign birth- But when I look at you I just do not see someone who embraces that which America is, who embraces the true soul of this nation. I see a man who wishes to remake this country in to a vision fed to him by his lifetime of indoctrination to a Marxist philosophy. I see a foreigner in both fact and philosophy.

Mr. President, I want you to be successful, but successful in a way that remains true to the ideals upon which this country was founded and that made it great. Unfortunately with your deeply rooted socialist beliefs, I don't think this is possible. I think you will cater to the left wing moonbats who got you where you are today, and that can only be bad for this country.

For all the reasons above and more, I cannot support you. I will do all I can to insure that you do minimal damage to this country and I will work diligently to defeat you in the next election.
