I have had several mates who've contacted me privately about the character of one Sen. Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL). Once you really get a hard look at him, you find that he is a very charasmic speaker. But, once he's away from his scripted performance, he becomes an empty suit talking. What is more worrisome is the kind of people that he not only associates with, but who he considers mentors and friends. (For those not following American politics too closely, Mr. Obama is the No.1 Leftist in the U.S. Senate -- Hillary Clinton ranks 13th. Americans who are captivated by his B.S. have absolutely no idea how far left he (and his party) want to take this country in terms of policy.)
People who have never lost their freedom and had it replaced by a Marxist/socialist state cannot understand the danger that the current Dem party and Obama represent.
I was in Grenada for a Windjammer cruise about 14 months after the Americans went in and cleaned out the Cubans and other Combloc "advisors" (American intervened on 23 October 1983; this was December 1984). I will never forget talking to a petite Grenadian woman to described what it was like living under communist rule. She was convinced that had not America acted, she would have been killed and we'd never have had the conversation. At the time, Grenada had had its first free election since America's intervention and the New Jewel Movement (Grenadian Communist Party) was defeated in a landslide.
On the ship I had a chance to spell the guy on the helm. While we were driving, this couple from NY or NJ came by and engaged the native ship driver in conversation on how wrong America was to liberate Grenada. I stepped in.
"Do you remember the international airport that we landed at? Commercial airports don't need 15,000 foot runways but heavy, long-range maritime aircraft do. You put a squadron of Soviet Tu-95 Bear G bombers on this island and you effectively control all of the entrances in and out of the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast ports and those of the Atlantic coast of the U.S. up as far as the Virginia/North Carolina line. Commercial airports don't have anti-aircraft artillery positions on the hills around the airport. Commercial airports don't have fueling and arming revetments for maritime strike aircraft. I know all this because it's my job to know this stuff (I was in the Naval Reserve at the time.) So the proper question isn't whether America was right in throwing the Cubans and their Combloc "advisors" out. The proper statement should be: "Thank God America threw them out." The two liberal dipsticks went away rather quickly after that and without a lot to say.
In this November's election for all our American friends, vote as if your freedom depends upon it -- because this time, it does.
