When the IRS comes after us, we have to come clean. But when it comes to people we elect to oversee agencies that investigate us, they clam up, demonize those who dare question, and we’re told to deal with it, no matter how serious those questions may be…
As we enter the home stretch of the 2008 presidential election, new revelations about Barack Obama’s harshly critical views of the U.S. Constitution for not providing for wealth distribution have again raised concerns as to whether the American people may be about to elect the first radical Leftist if not outright socialist president in the republic’s history. This hugely troubling possibility, were it to happen, would mark yet another historical watershed that’s mentioned less often – the de facto alliance between the Left and radical Islam in American politics.
Some people are clouded by ideology, as they’d be demanding answers to these very same questions if the other candidate had them hanging over his head. But until politicians realize they are running to be public servants and not royalty, the Great Blow Off will continue with a vengeance.
Both candidates of the major parties show signs of socialist behavior (McCain indirectly called for wealth redistribution when he ran against Bush in 2000). What is necessary is not that they stop thinking of themselves as royalty, but that we stop letting them get away with such behavior.
We could push against them when they do do unconstitutional things.
It looks like the article you quote shows that Obama admits knows the Constitution doesn’t allow for wealth redistribution, so the appropriate thing will be to fight against any amendment proposed to allow for it and to remind our lawmakers that if they vote for a law that allows for the government to rob the productive for the unproductive that they will deserve what they will get.
Also, none of this waiting for the next election year bullshit. When they violate their oath, they must be held responsible then or else we will forget why we shouldn’t reelect them or have to grudgingly do so because their opponent is worse.
