Another thing about your beliefs, Kyle. To be honest, I find them depressing. You seem to have no faith in your fellow Americans -- even conservatives. If you follow the news, you must be aware of the fact that many conservative Republicans endorsed Obama during the race. These include public officials, people who worked closely with Reagan, Charles Fried, who a close adviser to McCain, but who asked to be removed from the committee, and of course Collin Powell.
These are important are people who value their reputations. They do not make endorsements lightly. They do their homework, and they have inside information on everyone in Washington. They know more about Obama then I do, and I darn well know that his plans for public service do not include obligatory service or slavery. I am sure that if Mr. Fried knew that Obama intended to enslave the country, he would not have endorsed him. He would have known -- it isn't the kind of policy you can keep secret. Because you believe this sort of outrageous nonsense, you obviously have not read Obama's policies, and you know nothing about him. That's fine, but you should stop and ask yourself, is it likely that Charles Fried also endorsed the man without bothering to read anything about him? Or worse, and infinitely less probable, that he knows Obama intends to enslave us but he is all for it? You remind me of the "skeptics" who read nothing about cold fusion, and know nothing about it, and make up all kinds of improbable nonsense to fill the gaps. Then they forget that they invented this nonsense, and based upon it they conclude that all researchers must be liars, criminals and lunatics. Wave your hand, make up facts as you go along, and you can reach any conclusion, no matter how outlandish. You can avoid this folly by *learning something about the subject* from credible sources. Even if you do not wish to take the time to read Obama's policies, you should have a little more faith in people such as Freid. And in me, for that matter. We are sober, careful people. You should realize that we are not plotting to destroy the nation or enslave you. - Jed
