2. He cares about the freedom of minority children who will get a quality education and be able to pursue their life goals. He cares about the freedom of workers to organize for better conditions without fear of reprisal. He cares about the freedom of millions of Iraqis who will for the first time in their lifes not live under a dictator or foreign occupier. He cares about the freedom of Americans to look forward to a bright future instead of dreading what the next year or day might bring.

   You just can’t stand that a black man is going to be the one doing it all, can you?

3. I can understand disagreeing with some of Oabam’s policies. But to say he’s an enemy of freedom flies in the face of all evidence of both what he has said and what he has done in his life.

4. The election is over, you can’t get your McCain bobblehead posting on blogs anymore.

   I’m sure in two or three years, though, you’ll be able to get your Palin/Pawlenty/Romney/whoever doll.

   Even if your conclusions are correct,
   
   which I fear they are concerning imperialism and Iraq,
   
   you haven’t done the hard work of poring through his statements and proving anything.  

   Why not cite excerpts where he says, in effect,
   
   “I’ll pull out of Iraq, assuming that David Petraeus says I can.”  

   Then go on to explain Petraeus’ stake in perpetual war.

7. In George Stephanopoulos’ Jan. 10, 2009 interview with him, Obama said, “Everybody’s going to have to give. Everybody’s going to have to have some skin in the game,” to achieve his goals.

   OH NOZ-requiring shared sacrifice to get the country out of the many messes we are in??  But what’s in it for ME ME ME?

   Sovereign nations should operate as they choose, and the U.S. should simply leave them alone.

   And what does the sovereign nation say (from MSNBC):

   Trade would be meeting’s focus
   
   Cuba’s main focus in such a meeting would be on normalizing trade, [Raul] Castro said.

   “The only reason for the blockade is to hurt us,” he told Penn, using the term the communist leadership employs for the five-decade-old U.S. trade embargo. “Nothing can deter the revolution. Let Cubans come to visit with their families. Let Americans come to Cuba.”

   Who knows what else Obama will devise in order to force from American citizens to “serve” the government.

   Sorry RuPaul lost.  Tinfoil hat getting too tight?

   I fear this title may be edited into my diaries in the future, which in the past have tended toward self-promotion.  

   I’m faced with a dilemma: either no new diaries, or find something meaningful to say.  Is this the end for the Barron ?
