There has been much bashing of the American president by both the Left and the Right in this great nation. Some blame the Democrats, others blame the Republican Party. As I see it, the problem is a reflection of all of us.
Congress appears to be reading newspapers instead of reading the American people.
Linked to this is the American people's inattention to what their elected leaders have been doing, or rather not been doing.
In other worlds, we're all to blame.

"A Man Without A Country" - Philip Nolan and Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's "Spiritual Adviser"
Readers may well remember the movie of the same name about a fictional U.S. Naval Officer who cursed “Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!” Thus was the Philip Nolan court-martialed. (http://www.bartleby.com/310/6/1.html)
Senator Barack Obama's so-called spiritual adviser said the same thing last week. Only he invoked the name of God. We all saw the video on television. Mr., I'll not call him Reverend, Wright was obviously reading the lines. They must've been written by Moscow. I'm calling for Mr. Wright to become a non-fictional Man Without A Country.
Question - shouldn't that particular church have its tax status revoked because of using the pulpit for politics?
“WASHINGTON (with a date which must have been late in 1807).
“SIR—You will receive from Lieutenant Neale the person of Philip Nolan, late a lieutenant in the United States Army.
“This person on his trial by court-martial expressed, with an oath, the wish that he might ‘never hear of the United States again.’
“The Court sentenced him to have his wish fulfilled.
“For the present, the execution of the order is intrusted by the President to this Department.
“You will take the prisoner on board your ship, and keep him there with such precautions as shall prevent his escape.
“You will provide him with such quarters, rations, and clothing as would be proper for an officer of his late rank, if he were a passenger on your vessel on the business of his Government.
“The gentlemen on board will make any arrangements agreeable to themselves regarding his society. He is to be exposed to no indignity of any kind, nor is he ever unnecessarily to be reminded that he is a prisoner.
“But under no circumstances is he ever to hear of his country or to see any information regarding it; and you will especially caution all the officers under your command to take care, that, in the various indulgences which may be granted, this rule, in which his punishment is involved, shall not be broken.
“It is the intention of the Government that he shall never again see the country which he has disowned. Before the end of your cruise you will receive orders which will give effect to this intention.
“Respectfully yours,
“W. SOUTHARD, for the “Secretary of the Navy.”

RACE AN ISSUE IN OHIO PRIMARY?
The Cleveland Plain Dealer today (Sunday, March 9th, 2008) reports that race played a major role in Barack Obama losing Ohio and Hilary Clinton winning. Are readers supposed to be surprised that racial politics played a role in the Ohio Primary? While the Plain Dealer writers spun it to be whites voting against a black candidate, the fact is that virtually ALL African-Americans voted for Senator Obama. Doesn't the pendulum swing both ways?
Hiram College Professor Jason Johnson, evidently an African-American, dismissed the Obama loss as hardcore white folks voting against a black man. White voters I know only voted against this particular black man. They're ready to support the right man or woman, regardless of religion, marital status or color. This far-left candidate just isn't the one.
University of Maryland Professor Ronald Walters, apparently another African-American, put Reagan Democrats in a group he calls "economically sensitive." And these guys are teaching young Americans?
Seems to me the narrow-minded bigots here aren't white guys.

What You Get With State Control of the Internet
According to Fox News on 03/04/08, "Several million users will not be able to follow political news or access Web sites operated by political parties during the largest Internet blackout in the nation's history, reported the Tribune.
Iranian officials offered differing public explanations for why the republic would restrict private access to the Internet, according to the Tribune.
"Shutting down the Internet service will depend on security plans and on the Ministry of Telecommunication," Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi told an Iranian daily quoted by the Tribune.
Another election official told the Iranian press that an Internet blackout would ensure that government online service would operate without interruptions despite recent upgrades to its lines."
Can we expect the same thing in the America of the future? When the door is opened a crack by the Left, it always follows that it is then kicked wide open.
