OBAMA - CHANGE WE
CAN BELIEVE IN?
8/3/08
To the
Editor,
One thing you can say about our nation’s Liberals
is that they never change. That pretty much says all that needs to be said about
Obama’s campaign mantra: “CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”. But I am going to get a
little deeper into what I believe is the very sinister reasoning behind the
Democratic Party’s use of the term “CHANGE” in this presidential campaign as
well as past campaigns like Clinton’s.
First: Change has a
different meaning for everyone. Most voters are going to regard change
optimistically. A poor person’s idea of change might be to hit the lottery. A
weak person would want strength. An ignorant person might want to be smart, but
then again, I don’t know of any verifiably ignorant people who will admit to it
so I will leave it at that. You get the idea. “Change” is a simplistic sound
bite that people will make into whatever they want it to mean regardless of what
Obama intends it to be.
Second: Liberals have often
stolen their opposing party’s most viable campaign slogan in order to keep them
from using it. When John Kerry was running against President Bush he adopted the
phrase: “It’s time to let America be America again” at one point. I regarded
that as offensive to American sensibility because Liberal Senators like Kerry
have been responsible for decades of changing this nation from one of faith,
freedom, strength and prosperity into one of dependence, weakness and poverty
that many older Americans hardly recognize. (I also found it curious that Kerry
came up with that campaign slogan just after a Republican strategist’s laptop
was stolen from campaign headquarters.) The only candidates who could rightfully
suggest that it is time to let America be America again are Conservatives –
certainly not career politicians or Liberals.
Third: The last thing these
truly socialist Liberals want is for voters to know their true agenda. Change is
the last thing they want, so they use the term as a mask. Liberal Democrats have
been promising to provide change in the form of ‘free’ health care, education
and jobs for people who vote for them but after decades of implementing their
liberal policies, the quality of life and education has worsened for those who
fell for it. Just look at any Democratic stronghold. They are rife with crime
and poverty. The longer the period of control of an area by socialist liberals
the worse the conditions. Changes in policy would give power back to the people
and the socialist Liberal machine would collapse. Democratic Primary Delegates
chose Obama because he promised to lift their boat – not rock it.
