A Humble Plea to McCain and
Obama Supporters:
Dear friends,
I am truly astonished by the
ignorance Obama supporters have displayed in their quest to get
someone - ANYONE - into the White
House. Now, wait a minute. I can well understand your dislike or even
hatred of our clown, GWB, but he is not th e root cause of all of our
problems.
Our Congress is. And a change
there would be welcomed by all. You ain't gonna get it done with
Obama. You gotta fire the whole damnable
crooked Congress.
(Read my book, 'BERNIE'S
WAR!').
Perhaps I'm looking at all of
this from a different perspective than you because my life
experiences have been so different from yours. I'm
80-years old and have traveled
the world where I've seen a great deal.
I spent five years on active
duty as a fighter pilot in the USAF and another seven years flying
with the Air National Guard in California and
Texas as well as a few years flying in the USAF Reserve. I spent
three years on active duty in Germany flying Czech border patrol with
'cold guns' in aircraft inferior to the MIG during the Korean 'Police
Action' when it was thought that Korea was a diversion for a Soviet
invasion of Western Europe.
I lived abroad for a total of
28 years. Three years in Germany, twenty years in Switzerland and
five years in Great Britain where I was based doing 'spook' work for
the U. S behind the Iron Curtain before it fell.
During that era of the Cold
War I ventured to Moscow, Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest, Peshawar,
Pakistan and Bulgaria posing as a Swiss French-speaking arms dealer
purchasing weapons we surreptitiously supplied to the Afghani
Mujahedeen in their successful fight against the Soviets, all of
which came back to haunt us.
I've been there and done that
and have had close associations with top government people in
Germany, the Netherlands and Great Britain. I've had more foreign
affair experience than Obama could ever dream of and, yet, wouldn't
have the temerity to deign myself 'Presidential' material; although I
feel eminently more qualified to judge who would NOT be best for our
country. My long-time world experience should count for something in
my plea to you to aband on this miscreant flake. You will only be
doing yourself and our
country an enormous disservice if you persist in your support of this
flash-in-the-pan opportunist. On this, you MUST trust me.
I've associated closely with European royalty and
African politicians. I've traveled to the Far East to observe their
cultures. My point is that Obama, although formally well educated and
a brilliant orator, is a neophyte when it comes to understanding the
world and is uniquely unqualified for the job as President of these
great United
States. His knowledge of economics is nil and his tax proposals
absurd and life-threatening to the U. S. not only in economic terms
but in preserving our national security as well. I don't want a
'citizen of the world' to be President, I want a citizen of the good
old USA to be President.
Screw the rest of the world as they have well and
truly screwed us. The time has come for us to awaken and st art
looking after ourselves. Now THAT would be CHANGE if that's what
you're looking for.
While McCain has abstained from playing 'the
race-card', Obama is playing it to the hilt even though he's
technically not an African-American.
To qualify for this distinction you must be at least one-sixth black.
Obama is only one-eighth. His father would be, as he was one-sixth.
No, Obama is more Muslim than black yet he trades on his blackness.
The larger question I have about him is that we really
don't know much about him other than what HE tells us, what we read
on blogs and from some serious non-partisan investigators whose
factual reports are, unfortunately, generally ignored and which
receive precious little media exposure.
I, as a registered Independent, a military veteran and
a patriot, beseech you to put aside party considerations and vote for
the lesser of the two e vils. Yes, I am NOT a McCain supporter, but
he is, at least, not a flake, doesn't carry Muslim baggage and is a
PROVEN hero and patriot WITH experience. It's not a party issue. It's
all about electing the best
we can trust with what we've got to work with. Mr.
Obama is NOT that guy.
Please, please rethink your voting position.
Thanks for reading my innermost thoughts. I care about
all of you, but I care more about our country. Please help me to do
both.
