Obama’s Friends

To the Editor:

Election Day is upon us. Many Americans have died throughout our history to protect our constitutional rights; our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We should not take such sacrifices lightly. It is now our simple duty to vet the candidates with great care to determine their qualifications for leading our nation and for upholding our constitution.

My father always said to me, “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.”  So let’s look at Obama’s friends, mentors, comrades, and teachers. They are: Saul Alinsky (Rules for radicals), Frank Marshall Davis, Van Jones, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, George Soros, and of course his favorite, Karl Marx, to name a few. This is Obama. If you don’t know who these people are you’d better get to Wikipedia (at the minimum) and educate yourself before pulling that lever at the voting booth. You owe it to the men and women who have died to give you that right.

Ask yourself why would our president want to “fundamentally change America”? If you love America, why change it? Obama wants change because he loathes the constitution, America, American traditions, and our history. When he says “Forward” he means forward to socialism, his utopia. Look at the man’s history. This man is the philosophical antithesis of what our framers intended for this great nation.

If you love your children and grandchildren, look up those names mentioned above. Obama has a vision like so many communists before him. Folks like Mao Ze-Dong, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Hitler. In aggregate they killed 150 million human beings to bring to the world a perfect society. Obama has the same ambitions, but of course he’ll get it right this time.

The shining city on the hill has been tarnished over these tumultuous four years. Let it not be said that our generation was responsible for losing so much liberty for such little effort. Let’s protect our heritage and vote this scoundrel out.
