The Peregrin Falcon

Below is a collection of various quotes and statistics to back up the accusations of my prior post. As time wanes on, I may add to this list or better refine it. However, I think that the quotes and facts I have laid out will be enough to get a good idea as to how the United States of America no longer elects based on foundational principles; but on Media coronation and fluff.

If you think I am wrong, please explain why most of the issues people trusted McCain and yet voted against him. Explain how one group will go against its own espoused values to vote for someone they admit is not in line with their views. Just in case you think this is another “good conservative hit” like fmr. President William Jefferson Clinton has said, notice my sources are from Liberal media groups and from their own websites.

Lastly, be an informed voter if you can. Look up your nation’s history. Learn the basic terminology of financing and governmental philosophy. That way when you hear things like, “It’s for the children”, or “I want to give back to the poor by taxing the rich more” you will at least have a working knowledge of the Socialist nature of those tactics.

Color Over Content:

“…Because he’s black it makes me want to believe that he will change things,” says Mr. Oliver, leaving an Obama campaign rally […]. “It feels like you are part of something that’s starting to change American politics. It’s the cool factor. He’s a rock star…”

Soros Marxism Over Capitalism:

In 2003, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was one of his main priorities. During the 2004 campaign, he donated significant funds to various groups dedicated to defeating the president.

“President Elect Barak Obama”

The sound of the newly elected President of the United States brings a sense of frustration and dizzying denial to my ears.

Watching my country select a leader, this year has been an emotional roller coaster. I know beyond any doubt that President Elect Obama is a Marxist at heart. Each speech, each question answered, each sloganeering session provided more and more proof of Obama’s intentions.

As a conservative, I also had and still have issues with McCain. Senator McCain was not my choice for a candidate. Senator McCain would never have been my choice for the Presidency. However, when the current mess we call the Republican Party; who is no longer conservatively run; gave me no choice, McCain became the best of the worst.

President Elect Barak Obama will get the same respect that I give to all leaders of this great nation. That does not mean I will go quietly into the night. That does not mean my convictions are not firm. That does not mean that I have given up on a return to the originalist foundations of our Constitution. Nothing could be further from the truth.

We the people through the normal election process chose a candidate based on color, fluff, empty promises, and rock-star appeal. For that lack of foresight we will pay a heavy price and posterity may not forgive us for watering down the qualifications of the highest office in our republic.

I say these things with a heavy heart. I do not want my President to be the kind of person that I cannot trust. However, that is where I find myself today.

In subsequent posts, I will be providing back up for my accusations. For now, it is simply best to gather my thoughts and evidence and concede that the race is over.

For what it is worth, I wish President Elect Obama all the best and hope that the kind of changes he brings are truly beneficial for the nation as a group.
