Never has America...

Barack Obama is running for the Presidency of the United States - not by virtue of his experience (which he stunningly lacks) - but because of his supposed high-mindedness and good judgement. I would submit that never before has America elected anyone to the Presidency with so little experience and such a history of questionable and unwise decisions.

Barack Obama is a bona fide, died in the wool left-wing ideologue, whose ideology serves as a substitute for the benefits of practical experience. His economic advisers - mostly academics - similarly lack real experience, and their economic theories and formulations are abhorrent to most business leaders. Nowhere on earth has an economic policy that entails the vast redistribution of wealth ever worked. Ask the Europeans, who are currently in the midst of one of the biggest supply-side economic movements in modern European history. Why would we take a leap of faith into socialism at this critical point?

A word about Barack Obama's associations: They're relevant not because Obama would appoint the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, or Louis Farrakhan to a cabinet post - but because those are the people whose company he keeps. He shares their views of America. Why the hell would he go to great lengths to seek them out as friends and mentors if he passionately opposed their deepest-held convictions?

How many of you have attended a church where the pastor spews hatred of America and white people, and considered that pastor to be your spiritual mentor? Would you stay there for 20 years? How many of you would bring your own impressionable children into such a den of bile?

How many of you find the Rev. Louis Farrakhan to be mostly unobjectionable? How about Father Phlager? Remember, Farrakhan is the guy who, while having tea with his friend Saddam Hussein, condemned America as the "Great Satan." Will Americans elect his ideological student to the Presidency?

Obama's defense for his dalliance with Black Liberation Theologists, Black Supremacists, Socialists, America-haters, and defiant, sadistic terrorists (Ayers and his wife), is that those people are power players in Chicago Democratic politics, who cannot be avoided if one is to succeed there. If that is true, then what does it say about Obama's ambition? Will he not do virtually anything for the benefit of his own career? Do you want him as leader of the free world?

A word about Obama's friend, Bernadine Dohrn, wife of Bill Ayers: How many of you, upon learning of the Tate/LaBianca murders (Charles Manson) responded with: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" She said that before 400 people. This is to say nothing of Ayer's and Dohrn's own actions. They both personally took part in the bombings of government and private buildings - some of them fatal. She and her darling husband have never recanted and never apologized for their actions or statements. 

We've already been told by Obama that he had no idea that his pastor of 20 years was a radical anti-American zealot who preached hate regularly from the pulpit. Are we now to believe that he had no idea that Ayers and Dohrn are unrepentant anti-American terrorists, and that Ayers himself told the New York Times on - of all days - September 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."?

This, in my mind, is enough to disqualify anyone from presidential electability. I'll post later on his atrocious policy proposals, and why America has never elected someone so far to the left, especially at a time when leftist policies would so severely damage an already precarious state of affairs.
