The article below was written by syndicated columnist, Thomas Sowell, a black man. He wrote it in a humorous way in a column titled 'Random Thoughts' and published it in newspapers nationally, so maybe you've already seen it. If not, be my guest:

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.

I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words 'money' and 'special interests' come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend 'God Damn America' Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your 'spiritual mentor.'

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a 'discouraging word' in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades. Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out on your campaign. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now you look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the 'N' word. Yep. And Bill Clinton 'did not inhale'.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid e nough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you.
I am deeply sorry, that in a country teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it I want ALL of these 'world leaders' to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other dopes in the sheets, the Saudis.
On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are ticked at him and the conservatives are ticked at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a Jew whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally ticked off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East t o be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was 'nothing special. ' Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time bel ievi ng that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the 'average American,' and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot for on election day for John McCain -- warts and all.'

 

This is what's happening in the Good ol' USA.

Back when the Immigration and Naturalization Department was under the Justice Department, in order to become a US citizen one had to learn the English Language (how to speak, read and write).  Now we have to press a number in order to hear a menu in English.  When was this little requirement deleted?  Of course now, the INS is a division of Homeland Security.  I don't know about you, but I feel less secure in knowing we have American Citizens that cannot read, write, or speak English.  What went wrong?  I'll tell you what went wrong.  Complacency, Tolerance.  As you should know, a complacent and tolerant country WILL NOT SURVIVE.  Wake Up you idiots!!!

There's a BIG Difference between being an AMERICAN

and and AMERICAN CITIZEN.

An AMERICAN is a PATRIOT who is responsible for his own actions and wants what's best for AMERICA rather than just himself.

A CITIZEN is a just a BUM, taking up space, who doesn't know his right from his left and is not responsible for his own actions. Furthermore, he wants more government programs to fit his own personal needs, thereby undermining our country and the American Patriots who gave their lives.

Our country is being undermined!  Who adapts this kind of policy? OSHA?  O, s&^t.  Bulls%#t.  No doubt, seismic activity will be reported near Mount Vernon and throughout New England, as our founding fathers grumble in their graves.

Just take a look here! 

 

 

I just recently came across a site by accident called xxxchurch.com that made me sick.  I have always and WILL always believe that a Christian will show in everyday life his or her conviction to their beliefs.  This site wants to glorify things the Bibles teachings have condemned.  Whatever happened to practicing what we preach.  Being a good neighbor, and doing what’s right  in the eyes of God has somehow evolved into doing what we want and using God as justification for our actions.  We seem to want to point fingers at the rest of the world because they don’t believe the way we do but, after coming across this site, I’m beginning to see how other countries can look down on some of our beliefs.  The old saying to remove the twig from our own eye before trying to remove one from another’s  is, by all means, relevant in this case.  We have groups in this country trying to claim “GOD” for everything from Porn to Drugs and there needs to be a limit to how far we will allow this to go.  The story of Sodom and Gomorra tells us that God is against the “Gay” lifestyle.  Yet we have come to the point that we are allowing them to not only go to our churches but to get married in them.  If we are ever going to regain the respect this country once had in the rest of the world, we desperately need to clean up our own back yard.  Wake up and smell the coffee. You can only get respect when you can give respect and you can only do that if you respect yourself.

HOUSE CLEANING NEEDED IN THE U.S.A.

 

We need to do some serious house cleaning.  We have totally gotten away from the initial intent of our Founding Fathers in every way imaginable.  Our government (for the people and by the people?) and the courts have managed to take away our rights one small bite at a time.  The courts have managed to re-defined the original intent of the framers of the Constitution to fit into today's sick society of political correctness, perverts, socialists (nice word for communists), illegal immigrants, and yes...the ACLU (Antichrist?).  The Supreme Court has managed to lead the way in stripping our country of its values, which were instilled by those great men at the Constitutional Convention of 1787.  And, moreover, the government has finally succeeded in telling mom and dad how to raise their children, as well has telling the business owners whom they can and cannot hire or fire according to the strict qualifications the government imposes on small businesses.  In addition, we are all taxed to pay for social programs and 'pork' for special interests and for those who will not work.  It is not the government's role to feed and clothe the people, unless it is perhaps a socialist form of government.  Besides, anything the federal government gets involved where they shouldn't be involved only creates chaos.  Our federal government can screw up a one-man rock fight.  It needs to stay out of our homes and businesses, and let the churches and charitable organizations do their work for the homeless and poor.

 

What about our borders?  I believe it was President Reagan who said, "A country without borders is not a country at all."  Well, I believe we are on the brink of that disaster in our efforts to joint the Global cause.  That cause will certainly be the death of America.

 

To sum it up, our government is one step away from a total socialistic regime.   The exception has become the rule. Until we do a thorough house cleaning and get our priorities back in order, we will continue in a moral decay and downward spiral.  God Fearing men founded our government on Biblical principals.   It was never intended that God be left out of government activities and processes, nor kicked out of the American public life.  Hey, I'm not making this stuff up.  It's in our history books. (maybe not in the ones written in the last 20 years however)  For you intellectual idiots with absolutely no common sense, I challenge you and anyone else who reads this to do some research on the Original Intent of the Founding Fathers (along with the minutes of the Constitutional Convention), and, while you're at it read George Orwell's Animal Farm, which should be a required reading for all American Public Schools.  And, while I'm at it, if we still had some good old-fashioned butt whippings in the homes and public schools, we probably wouldn't have the discipline problems and shootings in schools that we have had in the last decade.

 

 We certainly will not be able to function as a leader on planet earth if we don't get our own house in order first!  God help us all.  I don't want my children and grandchildren to be left with a total socialistic government, if it's not too late already.  Wake up and smell the smoke!!

Dear Editor:

 

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is

made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down

the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of

immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas

of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and

stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get

down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to

uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times.

They made learning English a primary rule in their new American

households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new

home.

 

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a

new life and did everything in their power to help their children

assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought alongside men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people. When we liberated France, no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans.  And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a

disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These

immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the

melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

 

And here we are in 2007 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same

rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life . I think they would be appalled that they are being  used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.  And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill.  I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.
