Opposing Views Appreciated
letters to the editor
Dear Editor:
As one subscriber, I appreciate the Commonwealth Journal pub-lishing opposing views as in the October 21, 2009, edition.
One article by patriot Gary Bales under Readers’ View and the other by left wing radical columnist Stephen Dick. Mr. Dick, like so many others, try to divert the failures of President Obama to those “detractors who are fueled by racism and hate, aided and abetted by Republicans.” He must surely be speaking of those grandparents, moms and dads, veterans and working stiffs who make up the tea party movements, who have no desire to see this great nation crumble. He could not be speaking of professor Gates, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and such who would be without a job should racism fade away.
President Obama declared his wish is to “transform the United States of America” and that he would be known by the people he surrounds himself with. Those being communists, fascists and socialists who, like Obama, wants to dismantle the Constitution of the United States and make this a Socialist country. These are the people who taught Obama at Harvard, who he has associated himself with all his life.
America fell for his lies hook, line and sinker, all aided, of course, by the total left wing control of most news media with the exception of FOX News.
Mr. Dick refers to the U.S. as an “isolated, warrior nation,” Before Obama we were. That’s the only thing the rest of the world respects and what has kept us free and secure.
I served my country for 22 years in the military, including Viet Nam and Korea. I feel compassion for my brothers and sisters in arms because they know they have a spineless, community organizer as Commander in Chief, one who has absolutely no leadership experience other than organizing some demonstrators looking for government (taxpayer) handouts.
Obama has many supporters such as those who feed at the slop trough of the news media, die hard loyalist to the Democrat party, and those who have made a lifestyle of living off the taxpayers such as ACORN and SEIU.
There are those who like him: Russia, Iran, Jimmy Carter, Chavez, Bill Clinton, Castro and all the Muslim terrorists, because they know he is a weak, indecisive president and they will regain control in Afghanistan and Iraq when the “warrior nation” pulls out. This will give terrorists access to the nuclear capabilities of Pakistan which will then be turned on America.
We can only pray for survival until 2012 when we can vote out this radical bunch in Washington and start the repeal process of all the damage that will be done.
