Calumny and Catastrophe

After last night's debate, Obama was characterized by much of the media as "cool". He was in fact arrogant, unaffected, and without empathy. Here is a millionaire who allows his own half-brother to suffer on a twelve dollar a year income in a mud hut in Kenya. If this is how he treats his flesh and blood, what concern will he show for everyday Americans? America is not a flaw posing as a nation but the country that has liberated more people than every polity on earth (including fifty million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan). More foreigners wish to enter America than anywhere else. At election time, elitists threaten to leave for France if Republicans are victorious. Few do, but Mexicans, Haitians, Cubans, and Chinese risk their lives every day to try to share our prosperity and freedom. Millions have come here, tens have fled. Even those Americans who are poor today know that they can fufill their aspirations to be rich with the opportunity that capitalist freedom offers. Obama claims our healthcare system is broken, but Jordan's King Hussein, who could have gone anywhere, sought treatment at America's Cleveland Clinics. Democrats claimed Christopher Reeve would walk again if they were elected. Just yesterday a study in Washington state said paralysis might be cured someday. The study was conduted under our fee for service medical system, not under the Obama plan which will result in rationed care as it has in Britain and Canada. After the Tsar was deposed, Mencheviks and Bolsheviks attempted power sharing. Mencheviks brought pens and paper to civic meetings, Bolsheviks brought pistols. America can not countenance Obama having a monopoly on force.
