We stand upon a precipice.  As you cast your votes today, remember that this election will have historic outcomes.

If Barack Obama is the victor, we will have elected the first Black man to the Presidency, which is a great step of progress in the long road to true and equal Civil Rights for all.  He may also be the first non-citizen to be elected to the Presidency, but that is for the courts to properly ascertain.  He may be a naturally born citizen but his citizenship would have been forfeit after becoming an Indonesian citizen and even traveling on an Indonesian passport.  Even after going through proper steps to legal citizenship, Mr. Obama-Soetoro-Dunham would only be a naturalized citizen.  Now that the Governor of Hawai’i has closed the records, we may be in for a Citizen-gate type situation.  If Obama is found to be ineligible for the Presidency does that mean that Joltin’ Joe Biden would ascend in his place? 

Nevermind the nationality of the Junior Senator from Illinois right now, if elected Sen. Obama would also be the first openly Marxist President of the United States.  Progress?  I think not.  We would also have the first outright lie of his Presidency on his first day in office.  Actually, it would come during his first act as President.  When taking the Oath of Office, Barack Obama would be required that he will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, which he has already stated in an NPR interview in Chicago that he does not.  That is history in the making. 

Let’s examine another historic step that Sen. Obama has been proposing.  He would institute a civilian national security force.  I, personally, was under the impression that the National Guard already filled this role quite adequately.  Perhaps the “us” that will be defended will be fellow Marxists ascending through the ranks of our governing system to tear it down.  In history, this has actually been done before.  The forces were called the Gestapo and the Checka.  They brought national security by squelching the voices of discension.

Let’s move away from Senator Obama to Senator McCain.  The election of John McCain to the office of President of the United States would also be historic.  We have had war heroes in office before, but I do not think that we have ever had one as counted out as Senator McCain has been so often in this election.

In the matter of nationality, a lot of criticism has been flung right back to the Republican cause because John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.  It appears that no one in the media will bother to report that if you are born on a military installation in a foreign country (John McCain was born in Coco Solo Naval Air Station) then you are a legal citizen of the US.  That sews up that argument right there.  The longest time that he spent in a foreign country was as a Prisoner of War.

Senator McCain’s idea of a spending freeze is a step in the Right direction.  What happens when a mechanic is trying to fix an engine?  Do they keep working on it while the engine is working?  No.  You will hear the following phrase, “alright, shut her down.”  This is precisely what we need to do in our government.  Freeze spending and start taking out parts that do nothing of value.  Eliminate bureaucracies, modernize.  The time of preserving government jobs for the sake of government employees needs to come to an end.

If McCain is elected, it would also be a major step forward for the Feminist movement.  Although, Marxist Feminists on the Left were hoping that their side would be the first to break the Glass Ceiling.  I think that Governor Palin would be a fitting Vice President.

In closing, I would like to tell you about a true American Patriot.  My brother would probably never tell this story himself, but I will be his mouthpiece.  Lt. Travis Thornton and his lovely wife Hannah have recently moved to Alexandria, Virginia from Norfolk, Virginia.  During which time, they have attempted to register to vote absentee in our home county of Liberty County, Texas.  At some point, their registration was found to be lacking.  Was there an attempt at disenfranchisement of a current member of the military?  I wasn’t holding the light, so I cannot tell you for certain.  However, after my brother and my father had contacted state and federal legislators as well as the Secretary of State for the State of Texas, the call was made from Austin to Liberty on November 3, 2008 to fully register Travis and Hannah.  They had the option of being able to get their ballots in late, but my brother and his wife have chosen to fly down to Liberty, Texas today from Alexandria, Virginia to vote in this election.  My father explained that my brother had given the following statement as his reasoning, “In four years my little brother (Jack) could graduate (from the Naval Academy) and be deployed to Iran.  I wanted to do everything that I could to prevent that.”
