9/5/08 To the Editor, This letter is in response to one written by Warren Glasser who tried to admonish me for “attacking” Barrack Obama and previous Liberal candidates when I made a very reasoned case that they do not represent change. Mr. Glasser dared to compare my carefully articulated argument to the ad hominem Liberal attacks on President Bush. He suggested that I had violated my Grandparents’ wishes of not saying anything if I didn’t have anything nice to say about somebody. That was very presumptuous and way off the mark. Knowing what my Grandparents stood for, I am sure they would be proud of my ideological stand and I have been told so by people who knew them. On the other hand, I am not sure my Mother would be so proud. She spent 22 years of her life employed by the State of New York where she was subjected to a relentless barrage of Bush bashing. I tried to present reasoned arguments to change her opinion of President Bush but was no match for the emotionally charged rhetoric she had been bombarded with on an hourly basis. Toward the end of her life we could not discuss politics. I will never forget the hatred that Liberals infected her kind and loving heart with and I will always attempt to educate others with what I observe as a government watchdog. With that in mind, I recently wrote that the only candidates who could legitimately claim to represent “change” would be Conservatives. I said that Liberals seem to steal the term for use in their campaigns in order to prevent their opponents from using it legitimately. It seems that I was speaking for many in light of John McCain’s V.P. choice of Sarah Palin. They represent real change and have made it a cornerstone of their campaign. The conservative Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has stolen the limelight from both Presidential Candidates and has energized this country with real hope that is more that just a sound bite. I include myself among the many Americans who haven’t been this excited about an election since Ronald Reagan.
