Entries from October 2008
About 8:30 Saturday evening the lights flickered three times followed by a complete black out in the neighborhood. The darkness hugged me like a cloak and I listened for sirens which would have indicated some fool knocked down a power line again on the near-by highway but they never came. I put my book down and waited, hoping they would be back on soon. Forty five minutes later I decided that the low light from my battery powered lantern was not good for these aging eyes to read and I thought going to sleep was a better option. Sleep didn’t come easy. I lie there wondering why the power was out and how much an area it effected. Could this be another east coast black out? Had the neocons succeeded in another form of domestic terrorism by knocking out our power in hopes of blaming foreign terrorists? Could that be the dreaded October surprise? After all, they are getting quite desperate and their idols, John McCain and his mascot Sarah Palin don’t discourage their actions.
I awoke the next morning and saw the time flashing on my clock, the heat was on and a light on that I had forgotten to turn off, all good signs that the world still existed. All seemed to be quiet outside. There was no shouting in the streets, no terrorists calling for all us “non- Americans” to line up for a firing squad and my Obana/Biden 08 sign was still hanging on my balcony without any bullet holes decoratiing it.
Perhaps the domestic, terroristic “real Americans” were off worshiping their God and Godess, John McCain and Sarah Palin. After all it was Sunday morning.
Will this nightmare ever end?
Peace!

The Fall weather reaches out and touches the land as trees shed their brightly colored foliage and frost covers the ground. It’s not the chill in the air that penetrates my bones, but the cold realization that a politician who claims to be a hero and a man of honor can stand before the people of the United States and incite fear, hate, bigotry and anti-American ideas. What makes me shiver with great anger is the politician who lets his surrogates and his running mate claim only those who support them are real Americans and does not speak out against them. This man is a coward of the worse kind who tries but fails, to shield himself with incompetent women and men. John Sidney McCain brings dishonor and shame to his ancestors and the people of the United States of America.
The only thing McCain and his friends are inspiring is hate and division.

I’ve been deeply engrossed in this years presidential election for more then two years now. I’ve read biographies, watched all the debates and most of the rallies for all the candidates for each party from the primaries till now. I’ve done my own research in libraries and on the internet and I’ve followed the news. In 40 years I’ve never been so involved in looking for truth and facts about any candidates. This has been a long campaign but as we near election day factors effecting it have multiplied and moved like a house on fire. The choice for president this year is not a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils, but of choosing the one man that has the best chance to unite the people and to work towards setting our country back on the right path down the road to the future. That person is NOT John Mc Cain.
I do not question John McCain’s hero status. That is for others to do if they wish. What I do question is his honor and patriotism! Patriotism is more then going off to war in an occupied country. Patriotism is more then talk, more then wearing a flag pin, and more then then being a POW for five years. Actions speak louder then words and John McCain has fewer and fewer actions each day to prove that he puts our “country first” and more and more words to prove he’s not putting this country’s best interest ahead of his own.
Patriotism means something different to many people but to sum up the whole,
Patriotism is: Love for one’s country, to support, serve, and defend, to be inspired by,
to change for the better and to care deeply for its citizens.
John McCain has no original ideas or policies to offer the American people at a time when the United States is shaking under an economic crisis, the unemployment rates keep climbing, and people are losing their homes. McCain claims national security as his expertise, yet he encourages hate and division between the citizens of this great nation by spreading proven lies, he allows hate filled robo calls being made in his name and encourages bigotry. His goal is not to convince people that he has a better plan for the future, but to make people too frightened to vote for the other guy. John MCain will be remembered by the words, of his his running mate and his surrogates, “not real Virginia”, “communist country”, “pro-America areas.” McCain will be remebered by his words, “He doesn’t see the nation like ‘we’ do.” “They’re not like us.” “They don’t represent our country of good hard working real americans.” John McCain will be remembered by the hate and the violence he is inciting.
The citizens of the United States are the threads that hold the fabirc of this country together and when those threads are divided and separated the fabric will fall apart. When the threads are united, they tug agianst each other but still are able to provide strength in their common cause of protection for the whole.
John McCain may one day be buried in Arlington with his ancestors, but he is actively weaving a shroud of dishonor and cowardice. At age 72, he has little time left in this life to change the threads he weaves.
The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour. ~Japanese Proverb
Peace!

The great American tragedy brought to you by President Bush, John McCain and the rest of their cronies can be sampled in the video below. The economic decay we are living with now came from their ideas of country first and their code of honor. This is another policy of the Bush “Homeland Security.”
John McCain wants to add to this type of “Homeland Security” with more of the same deregulation and with the help of people wise in it’s ways.
John McCain and his mascot Sarah Palin are also adding to “Homeland Security” by inciting crowds to foster hate and violence. Now doesn’t that make you feel secure!
