Open Letter to Voters of America
July 19, 2008
I don’t care whether you are a
Republican, Democrat or Independent; all I know is that you are an
American in heart and mind, even though, you may be like me, born of
mixed heritage from immigrant families who escaped foreign shores to
build lives here in this new land. You are still a product of this great
melting pot of Americanism. Yes, my skin is olive and I am now an old
geezer left over from WWII, where I served in the South Pacific, but
sometimes age combined with many life experiences wakes us up, having
given us some knowledge of history and civics. With that possibility in
mind, let’s look at what is facing us in the future.
Now I also realize that some of you vote the Democrat or
Republican ticket because your parents and grandparents
always did. This is OK if the particular party has remained
the same. But, perhaps it has not. Looking at each party,
the Democrat party has been taken over by many Socialists, a
few Marxists, and even two or more Islamic members. This new
Democrat party even pushed out Joe Lieberman.
The GOP has also suffered. Some RINOS (Republicans in name
only) I call them fence-straddlers --- people who can fall
either way, left or right --- make up a part of today’s
Republican party. Let us not forget that President Ronald
Reagan was a staunch Democrat and the head of a strong, now
left-leaning union. When asked why he left that party, he
said, "I didn’t; it left me!” Thus, we need to look at these
two main political parties and see where they currently
stand in their philosophy of government.
Senator Obama, for example, has declared that he, if elected
Commander-in-Chief, will want to get all our troops out of
Iraq and move them to the "real war” in Afghanistan. I hate
to tell him this, but while they did train there and also in
Iraq, we are not currently waging war against any one
nation. We do realize that no one country attacked our trade
towers on 9/11, but, rather that this attack
was originated by Islamic terrorist organizations from all
over the Middle East! It had been put together and run at
that time by Osama bin Laden. We doubt that he is still in
charge as he had many independent chieftains in charge of
groups in all Middle East countries with countless large
cells in every country in the world, including here in the
USA. Like the amoeba, these cells keep dividing and
reproducing everywhere infecting others, not unlike the
streptococcus bacteria that they now try emulate.
We are in Iraq in order to gain the intelligence we need to
keep innocent Americans from another attack on our soil.
That is and has been our only reason for being there!
Looking at all the places we could have set up a major
presence in the Middle East, Iraq was the only spot least
costly in lives and money thanks to a corrupt despot who had
sided with terrorism by donating money to it and who had
also violated so many UN Resolutions.
By the way, we all, including Senator Obama, should remember
that we did have human intelligence agents in the Middle
East at one time until the Democrats stopped the CIA from
using them! Between the Church committee, Jimmy Carter and
later, Jamie Gorelick, former Deputy Attorney General of the
US under Clinton, we had lost all our ability to keep
informed of any potential enemy attacks by either human
foreign agents or cooperation between the various police
agencies in the US.
Senator Obama also keeps bringing up his old lie that John
McCain wants to keep our troops in Iraq for a hundred years.
You and I know that service non-combat troops have been
stationed in Germany, Japan, Korea and other nations for
years to maintain peace and help other nations in doing
this. It was obvious that McCain was referring to this
possibility in the Middle East after all conflict had ended.
Just as the new "Democrats” and a few RINOs allowed, through
their ineptness, terrorists to secretly attack us, they also
tried to keep us from monitoring overseas calls between al
Qaeda and its cells residing here in America --- cells
planning to kill our citizens. Fortunately the Republicans
and some loyal Democrats joined to let the Bush
administration continue this monitoring, although, thanks to
all the publicity and leaks to the NYT, I suspect that the
terrorists are now alert to this and are using different
forms of communications with the suicide bombers they have
planted inside the USA.
Now, Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats have tried to keep
us relying on foreign enemy oil while, at the same time,
trying to drain our own reserves of this precious fuel. This
could cause us to lose any future wars due to lack of such
energy. Lowering our oil reserves in order to lower the cost
of gasoline by a few cents is like going on a cruise without
any life preservers in order to save a few dollars on the
cost of the cruise tickets.
Again Bush has stepped up to start us drilling again. This
should allow the futures market to lower the price of
gasoline immediately once Congress agrees and acts! Even the
very statement made by our President has already had
speculators causing oil costs to drop several days in a row.
With Senator Chuck Schumer causing the run on the Indymac
bank and Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts keeping us from
drilling for our own local oil as well as wanting to take a
share of the oil profits for the government instead of
realizing that this money goes not to oil fat cats but
rather to pensioners and other retired folk like teachers,
blue-collar workers and other middle-class shareholders,
shows the continued ineptness of the current majority party.
Really, after understanding how Senator Obama and the new
Democrat Party which has been in control of Congress for the
past two years has constantly aided and abetted our enemies
with all these tactics, how could any American even think of
voting for either Senator Barack Obama or a Democrat
Congress again in November? If we think the economy is bad
now, wait until 09 when Obama and crew, if elected, would
raise taxes sky-high for their proposed government spending
bills. If we think that the cost of living has been
escalating, try living with double the cost of wheat, corn,
or dairy products and higher energy prices while fewer jobs
are available and our dollar is worth even less.
Technically, our dollar bill which was worth 100 pennies is
now worth only 60. If we continue this path, it is estimated
by government sources that a financial collapse of either
Medicare or Social Security could occur in 2041! Is this
really what we want to leave for our children and
grandchildren to inherit from us?
Stop voting for the personality of candidates; choose,
instead as your decision-making reason, the philosophy of
government that each candidate and his or her major party is
proposing. By the same token, don't waste a vote on a
minority party, as this can cause the major opposition to
win as it did when Perot ran. How we and our kids fare in
the future will depend on what we do in November! Help
America remain a Republic under God, returning to our basis
Constitution with its original amendments and the three
separate wings of our government --- Executive, Legislative
and Juridical.
