A Commentary and Opinion by GP McClure

August 30, 2009

For two hundred years our nation selected it's leaders based on their character, honor, duty, and love of country. Not perfect men to be sure, for each had their faults, but love of country and respect for the Constitution was not among them. Now we have elected individuals that believe this country is flawed, evil, and should be punished for our sins. My question is, what sins? And just who are these people to condemn us as a country? What authority do they have to tell me that I am an evil person?

We are a great country. A good country. When the world needs help who does it call upon, Europe? I don't think so. America has always answered the call of distress, the two great wars, the threat of a communist Russia, terrorism, natural disasters, humanitarian efforts, just to name a few. Would an evil country do that? Would Russia answer such a call? I don't think so.

The belief is we are evil because of something that happened long before any of us were born. That something was called slavery. True it was evil, but if memory serves we went into a civil war to eliminate that evil. A war that killed many Americans, and maimed many more. A war that left many a widow and many orphans. For what? Why did we fight and die? The simple answer, to make men free.

It took awhile to get our act together, to accept people as people and not of color. It took awhile to overcome our prejudices and hatred. It took awhile to elect a black man as president. But what we elected was not a man of color but rather a group of liberals intent on destroying our way of life. A group of individuals who hate what this country stands for, the freedom it represents. We elected a philosophy that does not rely upon the pigmentation of someone's skin, but rather a belief system that encourages one class of people over another.

Class envy is rampant within the liberal community. Instead of trying to raise the worth of an individual to be better, the philosophy dictates that others, all others, must be pulled down into the pits of despair. Only those that graduated from Ivy League schools are worthy of being leaders. Yet it is these elitist that continue to push race, among other things. It is these elitist that feel guilt and shame, and thinks everyone should. Why? Why do they feel guilty? Were they slave masters? I don't think so. So what is the reason for pushing agendas that very few believe in? I believe the reason is not guilt, as other have suggested, but rather the desire to control and become slave masters themselves. I believe that the desire to be worshipped as divine entities is what drives their motivations. And the main stream media supports this belief with fawning and encouragement.

I don't need someone to tell me how to run my life. I don't need someone telling me what doctor I can see. I don't need someone controlling every facet of my existence. If you need such services you have problem. A big problem. I will not, I cannot, let you force your feelings of inadequacy upon me. As an independent American I stand on my own two feet. I face my problems head-on and find ways to solve them. I am an individual not a sheep who follows a government bureaucrat down the path to slavery. We already fought that war once, now it looks like we must fight it again. Only this time everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed is the target.
