Humanity's Best Hope

Obama speaks of hope. Behind the electrified fences of concentration camps, the inmates hoped and prayed for American soldiers to storm the gates. Behind Festung Europa and in the Asian Co-Prosperity, those enslaved by totalitarianism sought US liberation. Anne Frank wished for rescue by the forces of freedom. Behind the Iron Curtain, the subjugated whispered of the aspirations to loose the chains, jump the Wall, and revel in the freedoms of the West. In 1956, Hungarians briefly broke the chain and awaited the protection of NATO forces streaming in to uphold liberty. So it was in 1968 in Prague Spring, and in Tiananmen Square as the Goddess Liberty was crushed under the tread of tanks and soaked in blood. The oppressed and dispossessed the world over seek US aid or entrance to our land of hope and opportunity. The Democratic nominee does not appreciate our unique position as the cradle of liberty. He sees many Americans as "bitter, clinging to their guns and religion with an antipathy towards those that are different from them." Michelle calls us a "mean country in 2008." His twenty (20) year minister damns us, and his mentor in whose home, he started a campaign tried to blow us up. A vast multitude of immigrants, too many illegal and even at the risk of their lives, try to enter our polyglot, tolerant, prosperous polity. They don't harbor the same resentments as the Obamas. They don't abhor our way of life and as the Obamites seek to inextricably alter it. Elect a third class candidate, get a third world nation.
