Barry, You're No JFK

It should have been predictable. Now that the media is claiming its first election victory, I should have known that they weren't finished. I thought that now that they had created a combination American Idol, West Wing, phony baloney empty suit president that they would make an attempt to return to journalism instead of screen writing. Boy was I wrong! Now they are colluding to create an aura of the return to Camelot, the reincarnation of the Kennedy administration.

Please, enough already. Let's set the record straight--Barry, you couldn't hold a candle to JFK. First and foremost JFK volunteered to serve his country as a member of the US Navy. He was a combat veteran and chose to enter even when he had a medical reason to be disqualified for service. The issue, a bad back, exacerbated by his war injuries, caused him a life of pain. He was Roman Catholic and ardently pro-life. He believed in limiting the scope of government and embraced tax cuts. He believed in a strong military and was staunchly anti-communist. He embraced civil rights and sought to end institutional racism.

BHO is anti-military. He has time and time again attacked our men and women in service accusing them of acts of violence and torture. He has vowed to withdraw troops and reduce the size of the military. BHO wants to talk with our enemies while limiting the development of defensive weapon systems. As a young college graduate, BHO chose to spend time organizing and building a political machine instead of serving his country.Instead of writing about heroes he had know ala JFK's Profiles in Courage, BHO wrote two autobiographies outlining his drug use and radical associations.

No one is quite sure what religion BHO practices. I am not aware of any mainstream religion that embraces infanticide, unlimited abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, curtailment of speech and forced redistribution of wealth. The closest match I can find is the tenets of humanism that are found in Das Kapital. Another difference between the two, BHO wants to expand the role of government and raise taxes. He uses racism as a tool in his attack arsenal and refuses to support the rights of those who don't support him politically. He admires current communist states, touting the wonders of China's construction.
