What Kind Of Change?

At a recent meeting of the San Antonio Morning in America group, we all commented on our frustration with the Obama call for change.  Change from what to what?  He never says what kind of change he's talking about, and it is ridiculous to call for change, without spelling out what kind???  One of my favorite sites to check out in order to keep informed is Memri.org.  It seems that someone is spelling out the kind of change; and he's talking from halfway across the globe;

Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi: "You must have seen elections and political parties throughout the world. You must have seen what a farce they are. The whole world will return to the model of the republic of the masses, to communes, to popular conferences, to popular security, to popular defense, to popular capitalism, and to popular socialism. The whole world will return to the Libyan model. I have watched the world and the people in it. I've seen that in America, a candidate who wants people to vote for him keeps talking about change. They all keep saying 'change, change.' They want to change America and its current political system. They want to make a change in their lives. They say their system is a failure, that their government is a failure, and that their elections are a failure. An American who wanted to get elected said: 'I will make a change.'"


"None of the Peoples Want Elections"

"To this day, there is no ideal ruling system in the world, which can resolve the problems. There are conflicts everywhere. They are still asking: 'Who won the elections - Al Gore or Bush?' If someone gets 49% of the votes, and you get 51%, you become president, against the will of 49% of the voters. Is that democracy? That is a farce. No more than 30% of the public goes to vote in the elections. None of the peoples want elections. They got fed up with the farce of elections and those trash ballots. None of those who vote are willing to die for the president. They say: 'Whoever rules - rules. It has nothing to do with us.'"

There are factions of our population who would agree with ol' Qadhafi, unfortunately. Have you seen some of the crowds swooning over Obama?  I find that disturbing.  What this despot does not realize is the uniqueness of America.  He is unfamiliar with the particular spirit Americans share.  The problem we have is our public school system.  No more is American history taught reliably, rather children are taught that our founders were evil men who owned slaves, and it results in a lack of reverance for our remarkable history.  We Americans, by our nature, are the most generous people on the face of this planet.  Let's all work & vote to insure that Mu'ammar's prediction has no chance of becoming reality!  Afterall, it's obvious he does not understand us.  Our most revered president in recent history, he calls "crazy";

"A Very Small Minority Decides Who Will Be President... Is That a Democracy?"

"I asked the Americans: How could you elect a crazy man like Reagan? He turned out to be actually crazy. They said to me: 'Never. How could we possibly elect someone like that?' So who voted for him? They said: 'We have no idea, but it wasn't us.' They said: 'We didn't even go to vote. A small group of people, to whom he gave money, voted for him.'

"If 30% at most vote in the elections in a country in which 10 million people are eligible to vote, then seven million people said they would not vote. When there are 10 million eligible voters, at most three million turn out to vote.

"Let's say that there are three candidates. The first two get 1,000,000 votes each, and the third gets 1,000,001 votes. The third candidate wins and becomes the president. In other words, nine million voters will be ruled against their will. A very small minority decides who will be president, and they say they got a majority because they won one extra vote. Is that a democracy? How can you rule nine million people who did not vote for you? This is the epitome of dictatorship."

He's laughable, as always. Don't you love his outfits?

    Dagney, my dear. I believe that Mr. Obama is referring to what will be left in our pockets after he is done with the country.

    I'll have to post something my new friend sent me (you're going to love her!) about the Clinton vs. Bush tax policies. I didn't realize how BAD things were...and now that I know that, I don't want to go back that direction.

    See you on the high ground...

    Silly, silly Dagney. It doesn't matter what "change" he's talking about! It matters how you FEEL about "change." Whatever you want "change" to mean, that's what it means -- as long as you feel good about it.

    Welcome to campaign 08.

    My dear friends, Major and Ogre, you both made excellent points, and both of your points and many others are why this may be the most important presidential race in my/our lifetimes!
