Yes, dipper I did know that already.
I don't like what's happening to Obama - special interests against him. But not for the reasons you may suspect.
The current powers that be have all but destroyed the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the economy and our future - they did receive help from the Clintons and the DNC which is something the libs refuse to "fess up to".
I don't want further conflict and I surely don't want it with Russia. Obama is "playing both sides" right now. If he parrots the Neocon mantra he'll be considered "electable" but I wouldn't vote for him as would many. If he continues to make comments that indicate that he cares more for the Constitution and Bill of Rights then he'll continue to get "rode hard and put to bed wet" by the pundits.
I don't like his views on several things - not the least of which is the 2nd Amendment, Immigration and NAFTA/GATT/WTO. Oddly, I find fault with McCain on the same topics. The one glaring difference is that McCain seems intractable in his deadfast intent of more wars. Continue pushing with another nuclear power and nukes will be used. On *our* soil. At the moment I'm not addressing nukes on Russians. Only HERE. That's not a future I wish to see fulfilled.
I stated two years ago that it would come down to this: Ron Paul or Obama. Why? Because the GOP have trashed the laws of the land, the economy and our military preparedness as well as push for "pre-emptive nuclear war". No one in their right mind would vote to continue this. Unless, they chose Ron Paul (which I "knew" they would not do).
Therefore, we are choosing between the Clintons (NY organized crime connections), Obama (supported by Brzezinski) or McCain (organized crime connections). Two value Israel over the USA by their own words. The other is an unknown. At worst he'll do what the others have professed to do. At best he'll stand for the nation. How would that play out? It would depend on us.
Perhaps I should have run. You could keep your weapons. I'd only demand that you sought professional training (become a "pig" - a Professionally Instructed Gunman) such that you could repel the Communist and Anarchists that WILL arise soon when the "economy becomes no more."
I'd opt out of NAFTA/GATT/WTO, UNO, NATO and normalize relations with Russia. We'd have enough of everything to take on everyone with that alliance. Oil and gas would be cheap and I could vacation/hunt in Siberia. Cool!
