I'll say it again in the land of the free

Well, kids, this is it. Time to vote. At last, the latest round in the grand game of mob manipulation that is government by the people will be over, and you get to pick the winner.

No matter who wins, unfortunately, we all lose.

You all know I'm one of those bitter, religious white people clinging to his gun that Sen. Obama disdained so haughtily. As such, I oppose his election to the presidency, and I hope most people do likewise. But I’m not going to try to convince you to vote for John McCain. Frankly, he’s a poor candidate — much better than the alternative, true, but a poor candidate all the same.

I have chosen to vote “for” him. But though his name will appear next to my mark on the ballot, I am in reality voting not for him, but for his running mate, Gov. Palin of Alaska, a smart and dynamic woman with many good ideas. I hope many people do the same, but I won’t be surprised if they don’t.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, here are my reasons for opposing Sen Obama:

1) His socialist economic policies, which won't work and are based on the immoral idea of the redistribution of wealth;

2) the creepy, Kim Jong-il type cult of personality that surrounds him;

3) his association with William Ayres (a terrorist) and Jeremiah Wright (a racist);

and the greatest reason: because I am Catholic, and Sen. Obama is in favor of legal abortion, including the horrifying practice of partial-birth abortion. No devout Catholic who believes in what the Church teaches about abortion could ever support such a man.

Please note that skin color is not one of the reasons I oppose Sen. Obama. Hatred is unchristian and contrary to reason. Although I do believe that "white culture" (i.e. Western Judeo-Christian culture) is superior to black ghetto culture (and white trash culture, for that matter), my opposition is directed at what people choose to do, not what they are by birth.

My own opposition to Sen. Obama is based strictly upon his policies, and upon nothing else. Yet somehow I still get called a racist.

Policies, cult of personality, associations, and abortion: these four reasons are more than enough to oppose Sen. Obama's election. I urge each of you to consider these reasons in light of your own informed opinion, consult your conscience, and then vote for the candidate of your choice on Election Day.

On to 2012.
