Knock, Knock. Who's There?

The Phantom of the Obopera

Peter Fredericks
Do you remember when Mel Gibson drunkenly uttered those anti-semitic remarks? Remember when 'Kramer' from Seinfeld spoke those racial epithets on stage? Why then is Obama given a pass when having dinner with anti-semitic Rashid Khalidi where anti-Israel ideas were spoken? Yes, this man is a professor. But he is a professor who is sympathetic to suicide bombers. Is that worthy to take note of?

Let's not forget Bill Ayers. He is a professor as well. However, he does not regret protesting the government and the Vietnam War with bombs. Do you want somebody protesting you with a bomb? Is this rational? Would you let the psychologist take care of his derangement or seek to have the rising sun of your campaign dawn in his living room?

Wright has said, 'G - d -, America.' He has said this from the pulpit. I have a question. Shouldn't the one preaching from the pulpit be a Christian? Wright doesn't consider what he has said to be a sin. Wright, what do you think offends God? Do you know the third commandment or are you a product of the public school system? Obviously, Obama thinks that a preacher who preaches blasphemy is his kind of guy. The man who wants to lead America is the man who stood in this church for 20 years with a preacher who says the U.S. government is responsible for the AIDS virus.

Remember when Obama's campaign sent a team of lawyers to Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin? Ok. Has it not been revealed they were digging up dirt on state computers on Joe the plumber whose only crime was asking Obama a question? Wait. That's not the whole story. He asked a 'hard' question. Evil man. This reminds me of a story Solzhenitsyn relates in The Gulag Archipelago. At a district Party conference a tribute to Stalin was given. Because in Stalinist Russia people were hauled off to the Gulag for a 'tenner' for the slightest infraction, fear was rampant on a desperate level. For this reason everyone was on their feet, arms raised and furiously clapping for Stalin for 11 minutes. Why so long? They understood that the first one to stop applauding would be arrested and given a 'tenner'. That's ten years in the Gulag. The director of a paper factory was the first to stop, was arrested that night and was given ten years in the Gulag. Information that would make life hard on Joe the plumber was dug up and used against him. Some of it was deceptive and some of it was outright lying. Where is the ire against this kind of intimidation? If this is not denounced then also the restraint on further acts like this are without support. If the law does not protect this man and others what good is the law in protecting our freedom? If the law is circumvented in his case could it not be secured in yours as well?

Is it not disturbing that Obama voted for Kindergarten sex education? Don't rationalize it.

He's also not in favor of pressuring doctors to give medical treatment for babies of botched abortions. How many pro-abortionists would go so far as to say that a baby that's born needs to stay aborted because it was intended to be aborted?

If a man wears a mask to hide himself from others, no matter what he promises or says, his worldview is the true interpreter of his intentions.

Obama was quoted twice for spouting a very specific socialist tenet - redistribution of wealth. This is rationalized by hating the rich.

We covet, we envy the rich. We deride them. We drag them through the mud thinking it will be right to take from them once we have proven how dirty they are. We take it outright because that rich man was 'greedy'. If we cannot respect the hard won prosperity of another how can we respect the hard won prosperity of anyone? We target the rich because we are not. How long before you are targeted because you have a 36 inch plasma, two cars that use gas, and three computers? Do you think you are safe?

Money is used as an incentive to work. It is compensation for the services you render. What good is the incentive if the worker is rendered powerless? His incentive was taken from him and given to another who did not serve at his level. That lower paid worker for the Socialist is there to receive. If that receiver tries to work harder to get more through work he in turn will be disenfranchised of his incentive because he must now provide what someone under him does not have. Soon, to have anything, one must be a receiver only because no one will work for what he is forced to give to someone else. He will simply wait to receive. Business will cease to exist because that would require a hierarchy of higher paid individuals down the line. Who will work longer hours, undergo more pressure for what the government decides to give you? Is the Socialist government careful with the free money they did not earn? There's not any financial restraint on the Socialist government to keep them thoughtful. The Socialist government's only concern is to keep its power by bribing your good graces with the crumbs it says it throws you. At the same time it bankrupts you. How would you know this when the propaganda says otherwise and every dissenting voice is silenced? The Fairness Doctrine is coming.

Socialism claims that property belongs to all and no one can claim exclusive rights to it. But this assumes that the government fundamentally owns all and has the right to give and take away at their discretion, but the fact of the matter is that God owns all and He has given us property by saying, 'You shall not steal.' God has given us ownership and proclaimed that ownership ought to be acknowledged and respected. 'Endowed by our Creator' are not just flowery words but an affirmation that God gives us 'certain inalienable rights'. Here expressed are words the acceptance or rejection of which justifies or restrains a man to humble himself as the servant or exalt himself as the bestower or taker of your life in all of its quantity and quality.

If you assume that your freedom is from man and not God then what is government but a group of men or women like yourself who sovereignly can take anything by virtue of the fact that they are men?

If the giving begins and ends with man so does the taking.
