McCain says we all need to get behind our president now. Wrong. I am behind my country and its constitution. So I am stuck with this man as president, but I oppose him, for he opposes our constitution as far as I am concerned.
He is wrong on the economy (wants to raise taxes, redistribute wealth, nationalize healthcare, and spend another trillion dollars and continue to increase the government hog). These policies will make the recent "crisis" in the stock market look like Christmas by comparison.
He is wrong on energy. He wants to, in his words, bankrupt any who try to build coal burning electric power plants. He will not drill for our own energy. He is for subsidizing ethanol which will continue to inflate the price of food all over the world (leading to more hardship for the poor) and will produce a gas product that gets poor mileage. He will see us weaker economically and weaker worldwide because of this.
He is wrong on foreign affairs. He is pro-plo, anti-Israel as he has shown and will show. His desire to be friends with the dictators of the world will backfire on him. He wants to slash military spending (as he said) and this will make us weaker. He wants to undo all our progress in the middle east,etc.
He is wrong on life. He is willing to kill the unborn and even the born without remorse, as is shown by his record.
He is wrong on the constitution, wanting judges that will help him redistribute wealth which is(pay attention second-grade level civics students, aka Obama voters) socialism and it has failed every where it has been tried (capitalism and free market have been our approach for . . . 300 years, and we are the wealthiest nation on the planet --facts are facts).
As far as I am concerned, Obama is a nice man, but not an American in ideology and he needs to be opposed at every step. I shall do this as much as it lays in my power.
Americans seem to have a sheep-like quality these days. They would trade their freedoms for the promise of comfort and safety. We were in this same position in 1776. I have the same response to the oppressors now as I did then, "I know not what course other men may take, but as for me, give me freedom (liberty) or give me death."
Obama, you are still an empty suit and a meager little snipe. Sorry, you can't be my messiah and can never take away the true freedom within me.
From this day forward, the Fading Fringe Blog will be subversive to the powers that be, and hopelessly American. Watch and see . . .

My brother called my mom and told her about in GA where he voted there were bus loads of ... people... leave it at that.. who stood near the polls and THREATENED HIM and others that if they voted for McCain they would find out and they would be sorry. I want to say death threats but second hand words I am not 100% sure it was said or not. Have to ask when I talk to him.
But knowing that they cannot know who he voted for, my brother was not tricked and still voted his gut.
That said - HOW SAD to think of the many poor people who did fear for their lives/safety when voting this year.
I am saddened to think that if it happened in Columbus, GA, how many other polling places did this take place at?
he may be the first black president - yay... but I am still baffled at how the court case in PA that challenged his citizenship was ruled that he was NOT a natural born citizen. But yet.... he still lied and they still bent the rules. That is exactly the president I want in office. One who will bend the rules to get what he wants. Fun fun.
Well, Linda, i am not at all surprised. Remember Bill Clinton and the way the Media, the courts, the people didn't care how he lied, what he did, etc?
Likewise, Bush has been attacked as a liar, and evil man, etc, but he's never been caught lying or cheating, etc?
I am certain that we have to fight for the Americans who aren't paying attention or have never learned to think like grown ups.
nick, it was my brother. And I am not blind to the fact that it goes both ways. People in General Baffle me. I LOVED what Pastor Mike said the other sermon about how awesome our country is that it gives us 2 months every 4 years to hate our neighbors. It is so true!
at my polling place I saw one man yell at an older gentlemen who was standing silently with an Obama sign. I myself was NOT an Obama supporter but I took my kids and we commented on the weather to the man. He was doing no wrong just standing. Nothing like riots in Philly or the stuff where my brother lives.
I have to say though, I am not 100% my info on the last comment was true about the court case. I have been informed that the article I read might have been wrong because it is still going before the supreme court, not finalized yet. So I wanted to comment on that.
But making opinions on things that are completely against our values and saying there is NO way we will support them, is not hypocritical. It is Godly to follow our leaders but God lets us live in a free country where we are allowed to voice our opinions. And I am not seeing Mike say anything like "he is stupid, I hate him" and making fun of him. Like many many many many people did to Bush.
Nick, your comments show again that you have no idea what I believe or stand for. You never have. Let's just not talk. If you are offended by my opinions, read another blog.
Obama is a socialist, I will oppose him.
