What? Yes, I said that Obama supports slavery. Oh, maybe not the type that holds the black man against his will to work in the fields and answer "Yes, master," but the type of slavery that binds people and their lives so they end up with no control of their own.
He supports massive entitlements and welfare programs. As people become dependant on food stamps, health care, subsidized housing, educational grants, and all of the other programs he promotes they will quickly lose their will to do anything for themselves.
We seen a good example of this during Hurricane Katrina. The people who wouldn't leave before they received their welfare checks expected to come in on Friday; the people who complained about not having good food in the shelters; the people who complained about the housing provided for them; the the people who complained that the government wasn't getting their places cleaned up for them; the people who are still living off of the government...
Aren't these people slaves to the government? Isn't this what Obama wants of us all? The more that is given, the more that is expected.

Changes I am afraid of!
Hearing the "changes" that will be coming if Obama is elected should terrify all good conservatives. Some of the changes that are really scary to me include:
Spreading the wealth or in other words, Socialism. Since when should it be that the people who work hard to get ahead should have a ball and chain consisting of the lazy faction of our society? This can put quite a drag on those who are ambitious and are willing to work extra hours to build a business, grow extra crops, or do a better job for the boss. How long will it take before they get tired of carrying the load?
Freedom of Speech. It won't take long for freedom of speech to be shut down with the "freedom of information" act. Look at Joe the Plumber or the tv reporter in Florida when they ask Obama or Biden questions that haven't been spoon fed. No more interviews or their private lives become an object of investigation and ridicule to the liberals. Isn't this what has happened with Chavez and other dictators? How long will it take before we aren't allowed this freedom?
Family Values will be a thing of past. With liberal judges legislating from the bench abortion, gay marriage, and other tenants of liberal thinking will erode the idea of the family unit. Our children will be taught whatever they deem appropriate in school and we won't have a choice in the matter. How long will it take before the family unit will no longer exist?
Minority Rules. We know that Obama has done very little as a Senator but the things he has done has all been for the benefit of minorities to make them "equal". How long will it take before a white, middle class person will have no rights compared to the minorities?
The Second Amendment. Owning a gun doesn't seem like a big deal as we have had the right since the inception of the constitution. And, maybe with Obama we will be able to continue this right, maybe. But his voting record says not. And, if we are able to own a gun he will make purchasing the ammunition illegal. How long will it take before they demand all guns be turned into the government?
Are we really willing to give up our basic freedoms? The freedom to drive the car of our choice. The freedom to build a business. The freedom listen to talk radio. The freedom to teach our children that marriage is between a man and a woman. The freedom to go to the doctor of our choice. The freedom to ask "hard" questions of a political candidate. The freedom to have a fair trial. The freedom to go hunting. The list goes on....
There are so many things that this man has covered up and I think it's time people open their eyes and see what kind of change we will really get!

Still mourning Mitt Romney
Lat night Frank and I attended a rally out to Riverbend Ranch (belongs to Frank VanderSloot and my Frank's old stomping grounds). It was held to gain support for Jim Risch who is running for the US Senate. It was well attended but the biggest draw was the guest speaker - Mitt Romney.
The 1 1/2 hours that we spent there were interesting. Romney and Risch were entertaining a group of "local businessmen" at the "big house" (VanderSloot's home) at a dinner that was rumored to cost $2300 a plate. While they were finishing up there, the "poor folk" was being entertained and informed at the barn by several local politicians running for office.
When the group from the dinner arrived it was very nice that the crowd gave a big standing ovation to Frank and Belinda in recognition for all of the good he does for our community.
Mitt Romney gave the introduction for Jim Risch. First impressions... He is very tall and thin and looked almost haggard. I don't know if that is the way he always looks but it really surprised me as I thought he looked very tired. But, on the other hand he didn't come across that way. He laughed and joked and had the crowd very excited to see him. There were several references throughout the night about him running for President and you could tell the crowd had definitely been in his camp!
Jim Risch did a nice job and was very well spoken and convincing. I will take a closer look at him but am ready to jump on board to support him now. Heck, I even took a couple of posters to put up!
My overall impressions of the evening was that they kept it flowing well with short speeches, some crowd interaction (not much though), and everyone there was excited to have the opportunity to be there. If you were a republican you came away with a "let's win" attitude.
It was nice to see Frank and Belinda as we haven't seen them since Frank quit working at the ranch. Belinda gave us hugs and teased Frank about not wearing boots and a hat! They are good people who have used their wealth for good.
