While all the Lemmings are basking in the Obama victory in North Carolina yesterday, I want to remind everyone of this “inspirational leader’s” actual record on leadership. THERE ISN’T ONE.

Of course this criticism, like all of the many criticisms against Barack Obama don’t seem to stick because he’s the darling of the liberal media and gets a free pass on everything. And all the little lemmings continue to walk off the cliff.

As a North Carolinian, my voice will finally be heard. Its been a long time since the Presidential race began… too long in fact, but today the race finally came to North Carolina. North Carolina doesn’t have an open primary, if your voter registration lists a party affiliation, you can only vote in that party’s primary. Since I didn’t switch my affiliation last month, I couldn’t vote against Barack Obama today… but I got to vote my conscience nonetheless.

Ideally I could have voted for Fred Thompson today, but North Carolina doesn’t let you write in a candidate, your only option is “No Preference”. Well, that wouldn’t be accurate, because I do have a preference, and voting “No Preference” would be as much of a lie as voting for John McCain, something I can’t do as long as another conservative is in the field even though I’ll have to do it this fall. I should have known what my other options were, but honestly other than knowing McCain and Ron Paul would be on the ballot (and Fred would not) I had no idea what other Republican candidates would be listed. So I was presently surprised, almost gleeful when I saw Alan Keyes’ name next to a bubble on my sheet. And with the circle of a pen, I was more proud of this vote than any other primary vote I’ve ever cast. I didn’t have to hold my nose and vote for the lessor of evils like I will in the Fall. Alan Keyes is a true Conservative who believes in our Constitution as it was written not as some liberal judge interprets it, and he’s a Christian whose not afraid of the values and Christian foundation in which our country was founded. Mike Huckabee (another option on my ballot) hits one of those three points, Ron Paul might hit two, I couldn’t even tell you how many John McCain gets in that test, but Alan Keyes gets all three.

My vote won’t change anything, John McCain will still win the state and the nomination… but I hope there are a number of other Conservatives out there today who took a stand and made a statement. There was a Conservative on the ballot today and I was proud to have voted for him.

I find it ironic that as I type this the news media is talking about the state getting to vote for an African American candidate today. Of course they are talking about Obama, but there is another African American candidate on the ballot in North Carolina, one who actually stands for something and would be good for this country. That man is Alan Keyes, and whether he gets 100 votes or 10,000 today, I hope John McCain counts every one of them. Those votes could have gone to McCain, but instead we voted our beliefs and our conscience.

More than a computer game from the early 90s, Lemmings are little rodents said to blindly follow each other off a cliff to their death because they don’t know how to think on their own. One dictionary even defines the word “lemming” as “following the crowd into an investment that will inevitably head for disaster”. Sounds a lot like Obama supporters, doesn’t it?

Have you ever actually asked an Obama supporter what his plans for the country are? I bet they can’t tell you. They’ll spit out some anti-war or anti-oil company rhetoric or tell you how he inspires them when he talks. Great… but what are his plans? Questioned again, they tell you something about a mythical tax cut or how everyone will have health care. Great… but what are his plans? What are the details? How is he going to accomplish this? Pushed, they will then either A. call you a racist or B. tell you again how inspiring his speeches are.

I don’t want to down play the inspirational part of his speeches, but peel away the vague promises and platitudes and you are left with little more than a socialist agenda. Reverend Wright was certainly inspiring to some of his parishioners too… but it doesn’t mean he deserves to be President.

But the Lemmings can’t hear, or don’t choose to listen. They are blindly following him off the cliff. Unfortunately they are taking our country with them.

Barack Obama keeps promising change. What kind of change? Listen to his stump speech and you’ll get some idea… and while he’s short on actual plans he’s big on liberal platitudes and bad ideas.

Change promised by Obama includes:

• Losing the War on Terror
• Socialized Medicine
• Destroying Self-Employment
• Increasing Taxes
• Redistribution of Wealth
• Activist Judges who support Abortion
• The Continual Erosion of Personal Responsibility
• Larger Government
• Increased Gun Control
• And More.

The biggest thing Barack Obama promises is the continued movement away from the federalist ideals this country was founded upon in exchange for a liberal agenda and greater dependence on a power-hungry federal government. Our children deserve better and so does our country. Stop Barack Obama - He’s not the change we need.

It’s crossing our lands trying to destroy our country. It’s eating the minds of our young people, turning them into hapless sheep who have no clue about history, economics, or values. Its destroying the very threads of self-reliance and personal responsibility that are woven through the fabric of our nation and replacing them with socialist policies and empty promises while it stirs racial tensions, class envy and a societal divide. It makes countless attacks while claiming to be above reproach. But don’t point out its flaws or you will be deemed a divisive racist or worse before it tries to destroy you. It is the worst homegrown enemy our democratic and capitalist society has ever seen and it is about to take total control. It is the ObamaMonster… and you should be afraid.

We must stop the Obama Monster before it is too late.

Barack Obama keeps talking about change. What change? I want things to change too, but have you ever heard Obama’s ideas of change? Increased taxes. Increased government interference. Socialized medicine. No personal responsibility. Redistribution of Wealth. Class warfare. Cutting and running in the War on Terror. Penalties on profits. Ending 1099 Independent Contractor Status. And More. All the while his wife has never been proud to be an American and his “spiritual adviser” of 20 years defames our country and supports Anti-Semites.”

Barack Obama proposes change all right, but its certainly not the kind of change America needs.

Reverend Wright & Candidate WRONG.

Jeremiah Wright has said, among other things, G-D America, that the United States created the AIDS virus, that the United States wants to keep Africans and other poverty-stricken people down in order to maintain our superiority, that racism is how this country was founded and how it is still run, we only value black women for their bodies, that white Americans believe in black inferiority more than we believe in God. Immediately following September 11th, Rev. Wright sounded thankful saying the chickens had come home to roost. Reverend Wright has also praised anti-Semite and hate-monger Louis Farrakhan for his “lifetime of achievement”.

And in case you were not aware, Reverend Wright was Barack Obama’s “spiritual adviser” for nearly 20 years. Wright presided over Barack Obama’s wedding. Wright baptized their children. Wright was Obama’s “sounding board”. The title of Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope” came from one of Reverend Wright’s sermons. Barack Obama publicly thanked Reverend Wright when he was elected to the Senate and has often sought his advice and counsel during his political campaigns. Barack Obama and his wife are members of Reverend Wright’s church and have been for two decades.

Barack Obama’s long-time “sounding board” and “spiritual adviser” make him too extreme for my state or our country. Reverend Wright was not just a casual associate of Barack Obama, he was a close personal adviser and confidant. His views are not the views of the United States of America and don’t belong anywhere near our White House.

I don’t care if Obama has tried to distance himself from Reverend Wright now because it is politically advantageous. After 20 years of being a “sounding board” and “spiritual adviser” and a member of Wright’s church, its too late.

If my minister preached like that, I would get up and leave, and find another church. And if a friend preached hatred, anti-American sentiment, and racism while applauding antisemitism, they would not be my friend for long and certainly not my “spiritual adviser.”

Would anyone consider a white candidate who was a member of the KKK or had a 20 year relationship with the Grand Wizard? Of course not. So why should Barack Obama or Reverend Wright be any different?

Reverend Wright means Barack Obama is Candidate WRONG. Vote for America and against the hype. Vote against Barack Obama. He’s too extreme for America.

Reverend Wright & Candidate WRONG.
