After watching the latest gaffe by Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama, as he attacked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Democrats want to take the country even further to the left. They want to be able to decide what is and what is not acceptable for America. After consideration, I thought I would be able to identify some of the absolutely absurd political positions that they hold and want to expand. Think about it, the list is endless. Sanctuary cities, welfare for illegals, trying to give illegals amnesty, no energy policy, no drilling, no refineries, no energy jobs, restrictive regulations, attacking battlefield soldiers, attempts to de fund the Iraq war, meet with America’s enemies during a time of war, attack General Petraous before his first words are spoken, not support American victory but working for defeat, use minorities children and their families as hostages and complete mismanagement of the urban school systems.
Shall we start with illegal alien sanctuary city policy that affects every American and will for generations to come. The open border Democrats have been successful in transferring much of the Mexican and Central American poverty and crime into U.S. urban cities. Sanctuary city policies separate Americans from jobs and tax payers from benefits that U.S. citizens should reap. The Democrats support of sanctuary city policies has had a devastating effect on the poor and working class individuals because illegals have undercut wages on every job. The Hispanic community that has moved into the Democratic strongholds like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco are destined to a life of poverty because of the failed Democrat urban schools. These urban school failures have held minorities hostage for decades. I’m surprised that Union Membership allows the undercutting of high paying jobs by Democratic leadership in each city. Clearly, illegals compete largely in the construction trades. Watch out for another attempt by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin (Il) to pass his “Dream Act” after the election.
The next stop in confusion has to be the Democratic energy policy. It is inconceivable that the United States of America can not use every resource to build our economy and infrastructure. The infrastructure of America needs to be upgraded and expanded as it is and could provide Americans with quality jobs. These new jobs would move this country into the 21st century and include oil field workers, refinery workers, and construction workers of all kinds. Iron workers, carpenters, pipe fitters, electricians, millwrights, laborers, painters, all the technical workers, office workers and engineers will be needed for America’s growth. This opportunity will offer high paying long term jobs to a generation of the American working men and women. It is beyond insane to have an energy policy that doesn’t include America’s natural resources. Big oil means big jobs for Americans and our families. The funding of terror sponsoring states must end now. The Democratic energy policies clearly protect OPEC and terrorist funding by design or plain ignorance. Can you imagine the jobs created and how the economy would improve if the Democrats did not control America’s energy sector.
The Iraq war has not been handled well by anyone at this point except General David Petreous. However, Democrat leaders have not sided with the American battlefield soldier. The false accusation from John Murtha (D PA)calling the innocent Haditha Marines “cold blooded murders”. Dick Durbin (D Il) calling our Troops Nazi’s, Soviet gulag guards and Pol Pot’s finest. Democratic Majority leader Harry Reid (D NV) saying that “the war is lost”. Nancy Pelosi’s(D Ca) visit with Syria, a state sponsor of terror. (I wonder if the price of oil was discussed) Then there was the attack on Gen. David Petraous’ honor on capitol hill by no fewer than 25 Democrat senators. Today’s Democrats give credibility to America’s enemies around the world. There is reason why terror sponsoring states support Democrat Barack Obama. Imagine if all of government spoke of victory and victory alone. War is a most difficult situation and the best plans can be changed by an enemy but the one thing that should not change is a desire for victory. The Democrats have never spoken of victory because they do not want it. If you recall the Democrats did not de-fund the Viet Nam war until Nixon, a republican, was elected. The first thing they did after the 2006 election was attempt to de-fund the Iraq war. Would men and women lives be spared and American treasure save with a single voice of victory?
Education has been a top tier issue for generations The American electorate deems this issue very important indeed. Politicians from both sides of the isle have increased spending every year. However, the Democrats have controlled the functioning of day to day operations. Through out America Democrats have controlled schools with varied success, we have some very outstanding school and educators and then we have some absolute disgraces. A high percentage of the failed schools rest within the urban setting itself but not confined to it. This provides the teachers union good jobs and benefits but carry no results for failures. It also provides the Democratic party with constituents that find their way into government programs where they are held hostage. It is again inconceivable that American children can not receive a quality education for the more than $100,000 that is spend before High School graduation by taxpayers. It is well past time that the failed Democratic controlled education system be dismantled. Money is not the issue in education, management is. To continue to reward failure is unacceptable and should be stopped. The lives of children depend on it. These children and their parents desire better than failed schools run by political bureaucrats.
All of these issues and more pail in comparison to the Democrats confusion in nominating Illinois junior senator Barack Obama. Senator Obama has 143 days, days in the United States Senate. Mr Obama has something more than the 143 days of actual Senate experience. He has a list of friends that include prison inmate Tony Rezko, the Syria fund raiser for Obama, and Il Governor Rod Blagojevich also a Democrat. Obama’s friends list of friends continue with unrepentant terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn of the Weather Underground.
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/04/020362.php More friends of the 143 day senator are Rev. Jeremiah Wright pastor of his church for 20 years. Rev. Wright is know for the words he speaks, just like Obama, except his words are hate, anger, racism. He has preached to his flock of Amerikkka, the land that brought the aids epidemic to African-Americans and much more. The Rev. Wright is a former Muslim and currently is a black nationalist. Along with these individuals are a long list of even more troubling associations. Rashid Khalidi and Mona Khalidi, both allies of the PLO and recipients of grants from the Woods Fund of Chicago when Obama was on its board of director. The Wall Street Journal,

reported in August that Barack Obama's Muslim outreach director, Mazen Asbahi resigned after his associations to extreme radicals were revealed. Other names of interest to those that consider the protections of the United States imperative are Edward Said, Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef, Ali Abunimah, and Minister Louis Farrakhan. So confused are the Democrats that they have put forth a man with no experience, with highly questionable friends that do not have this countries best interest at heart.
At every turn, the Democrats have stopped American success. They have made Americans second class citizens in our country. They have supported with word and deed the illegals that take American jobs, that cause crime and death on our streets, that reap funds that belong to others. The Democrats have denied American the high paying jobs that come from natural resources that cause independent from terror supporters. They have attacked the battlefield soldier just as hard as Al-Qeada has and worked by word and deed to lose this war just like they did in Viet Nam. They have been in charge of the urban schools that generation after generation have accomplished complete failure and expanse of poverty in all our major cities. It is the Democrats that have failed in these issues and more. They want change, will America allow them to move further to the left and give amnesty to illegals and tear down the fence? More sanctuary cities with more crime. America does not need higher gas prices with terror funding, we need jobs with cheap energy. Americans do not want to move further left on the War front to a loss while calling our troops “Killers”and “:murders”. Minority kids don’t need more of same in failed schools. Sen Obama for 143 days has worked in federal office. He has the most dangerous group of characters associated with him in American history, in my opinion. Does America want more Democrat change from a man that promises to make drastic cuts in our military after he loses a war? Pardon me for saying, it is unimaginable that Americans wants to make every one of these problems bigger and put every citizen in danger.
