STORMY WEATHER AHEAD?

I just saw a TV report showing guys from ACORN on a sidewalk somewhere in USA. To the common person in the country that clip will have no significance, but because I have been around a little time when I see those guys dressed in red shirts and black trousers or skirts it reminds me of the anarchist black and red flag of the 26th of July Movement of Fidel Castro in Cuba, and of the communist movements everywhere.

Senator Obama claims he has no connections with ACORN that his only contact with them was as an Attorney a few years back when he represented them in some legal action. However he has claimed that when he graduated from College instead of going to Wall Street he opted to go to Chicago and worked as Community Organizer. On one hand he admits having been a community organizer; on the other hand he says he wasn’t!  It’s hard to believe that being a community organizer that he was not in touch a community organization in Chicago.

Sen. Obama has been sending out signals that most people can't see or don’t want to see, but by those signals he is telling everyone what his political agenda is. He is more intelligent than Fidel Castro and in the final consideration he may be worse than F.C.

He claims he was eight years old when William Ayers was bombing the Pentagon and the New York City Police headquarters and therefore cannot be accused of guilt by association. The questions for Obama are: How old was he when he met Mr. Ayers? When did he meet Mr. Ayers?, and Where did he meet Mr. Ayers?. But most importantly, when did he learn that Mr. Ayers was an un-repented terrorist?  Was he still eight years old when he got acquainted with Mr. Ayers? Obviously we cannot fault him for Mr. Ayers actions and history between the time Mr. Obama was eight and the date, time and place he met Mr. Ayers. We don’t want to think that Senator Obama’s mental age remained at eight when he met Bill Ayers, and subsequently, do we?

Do you know that Mr. Obama proposes a National Civilian Security Force? Do you know that he proposes to get all local Police Departments under a National Police Department? Do you know that little girls are getting together with songs of adoration to Obama? Do you know that there are youngsters at colleges getting together and marching "military unit style" and making signs and slogans praising Obama? 

Never mind the associations with racists like Wright and terrorists like Ayers? 

Just think that if those are his associations, where do we think he is going to draw from for the Supreme Court vacancies when three of the Justices call it quits or they force them to quit?

What also bothers me are other issues. Be prepared because you haven't read this anywhere.  With George Bush in the presidency I didn't have much worry, but with a President Obama and his socialist Alinsky-oriented ideas (by association and belief) I am worried about the "Patriot Act". It has a lot of surveillance power which in the hands of the socialists pose a threat to our individual freedoms. Can you imagine that they will know what you think and what you write?  The Patriot Act in GWB's hands is to protect you from foreign and domestic enemies of the USA. The Patriot Act in Barack Obama's hands may be a tool to persecute you and violate your civil rights, regardless of your political affiliation, and not necessarily for the protection of the rest of us.  And with Congress under the control of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and the servitude of the national media there will be no-one to represent our interests and defend our rights. Congress will be controlled and the media will be done away with.

Second: When President Bush tells us that the take-over and nationalization of banks is only temporary, I am ok; but think about this scenario: President Bush's term is coming to an end in three short months. The economic situation will not change overnight and most likely it will go beyond January 20, 2009. If Senator Obama is elected president he will take over on 1-20-09 and by his actions and associations we can assume him to be a socialist-communist person. Have you ever seen a socialist-communist president that doesn't want to nationalize banks along with everything else? Then, what makes anyone think that a President Obama will be a different socialist?  If you think about this, Obama will make the take-over/nationalization of banks a permanent thing, disregarding whatever Mr. Bush promised to be a temporary solution to a national economic crisis.

Third: Think that the people that stand to loose the most if Obama is elected president are the Afro-Americans.  For the past 50 years they have, being on the demanding side. With good reasons or not, always demanding.  Here is why I say they stand to suffer the most:  I remember that in Cuba the labor force thru the CTC (Confederacion de Trabajadores Cubanos-Cuban Federation of Workers) was always making outrageous demands for more salary and shorter working days (six hours of work and eight hours of pay!), Christmas bonuses, vacations, maternity payments, etc.  When Castro took over and nationalized everything and the CTC started (or better, continued) making demands Castro told them: Stop, this now belongs to the people. Before, we had to make demands to get benefits from the exploiters, but since this belongs to you, you must stop making demands; vacations are ills from a sick society; you must now go and do volunteer work on your weekends; relinquish vacations, over-time payments, etc.

I think I can hear a President Obama telling Afro-Americans: we were making those demands to get the industry, corporations and governmental agencies to make concessions because you were exploited. That was then. Now everything is yours so you must relinquish whatever we got from them. Work without overtime payments and no more vacations. Go and do volunteer work.

Oh, well, we'll see what happens. Go, vote on Tuesday November 4.  I hope Senator McCain wins and turns back Mr. Bush's clock on the take-over and nationalization of banks, etc. In the meantime watch out for those political operatives dressed in red (the color of rebellion) and black (the color of mourning).

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
