We've all heard the litany of charges against Obama about his radical associations, friendships, opinions, etc... But one thing I haven't heard so far this year is how the potential election of this man would be a complete and total insult to generations of veterans and their families all across this country.
Think about that for a minute.
What did countless men and women do during the World War II, Korea, & Vietnam? They fought and died to stop the spread of socialism, fascism, communism, and imperialism is this world. What form of government will Obama and his party attempt to install? I would argue that an Obama presidency would be a combination of all of these radical forms of government.
Obama's belief about taxing rich people to "spread the wealth around" to poor people is communism! Please refer to the Communist Manifesto for a more famously worded version of "spread the wealth around". "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Sound familiar? It is the same theory using different words! Is that what we want this country to become? I believe that will only be the start of it. They're talking about health care for all, college education for all, a job for all, blah, blah, blah for all. These are all socialist concepts. Sure, this stuff all sounds innocent enough now, but a quick look back at history will tell you that it won't end that way.
The Nazis were socialists. The Italians were fascists. The Japanese and were imperialists. The Soviets were communists. Where are they now? They're gone. Defeated. Wiped out. And who was responsible for stopping these regimes? Millions of military men and women across this country, that's who. Any veteran who is paying attention to this election, and is honest about what they're hearing, should be screaming mad at what Obama is planning to do to this country.
I hope every veteran, the families of veterans, and even those who simply respect veterans and what they've done, will think about this before casting their vote next week. If Obama becomes the president of this country it will be as if everything that has been fought for, died for, and won will have been for nothing. I couldn't live with that. Can you?
