John Hampton On John McCain

NOTE:  I didn't write this post.  One of my readers, John Hampton, wrote this as a comment.  It doesn't deserve to be in the comments.  It needs to be front page!  Other than correcting a couple typos and formatting it for the main page, here are Mr. Hampton's words as he wrote them.

It's quite apparent to anyone willing to open their eyes and see, conspiracy buff or not, what the Obamites are intending to do. This isn't just an ordinary election. It is a fight for this nation. If we allow victory to be theirs then we might as well at the same time acquiesce to having the original constitution itself ripped from the national archives and replaced with excerpts from the works of Marx, Engels, and ironically, Hitler.

It's extremely important - indeed, essential to the survival of freedom as we know it - that, even if one does not necessarily have a very high opinion of McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, or agree with him on all his positions, or think that someone else should have gotten the nomination, or listened to every word he said, I earnestly hope that at least the words he spoke at the end of his speech rang through loud and clear -

FIGHT for what’s right for our country.

FIGHT for the ideals and character of a free people.

FIGHT for our children’s future.

FIGHT for justice and opportunity for all.

STAND UP to defend our country from its enemies.

STAND UP for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

STAND UP, stand up, stand up and FIGHT. Nothing is inevitable here.

WE'RE AMERICANS, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.

It's clear that Obama doesn't want you to stand up and fight. He wants you to give up. He wants you to believe that all this talk about 'America the Beautiful' is nonsense and that's it's been bad for you. He wants you to listen to him, the Candy Man with his bag of goodies that you want and need so much.

Revolutionary change is preceded by passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To facilitate such reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system.

In understanding this one can see what the Obamites are attempting to do. They're applying a maxim of radical revolutionary change which has been applied repeatedly throughour history. Power over people is proportionate to the impotence of the people. If you can convince them that they are powerless, they will submit to every decision and choice you make for them. But as some of us know, those who don't learn the lessons of history must go through the experience of repeating history.

I get it because I can see it. Many others see it too. Unfortunately, many do not. If this 'agent of change' succeeds, half of those who blindly followed this charlatan, this spawn of dysfunction whose name is Buraq, will be among the first to wring their hands and gnash their teeth when they realize what they've done, when they look around themselves in horror and see that their blessed one has not miraculously transported them to seventh heaven but that they've stupidly stumbled along and followed him to the eighth circle of hell. And it will be their doing. But it will be our fault as well for allowing it to happen. We will all pay the piper in one way or another. And the pipers name will be Obama.

A fairly well-known and respected fellow named Frank Dane once said, "Get all the fools on your side and you can get elected to anything."  Hmmm...now that is a thought worth pondering as we look ahead to November.

I believe we all should think very hard about these words as well - "Guard against the impostors of pretended patriotism." The fellow who said that was named George Washington.

When you listen to both Obama's and McCain's speaches, you will come up with two different themes. Obama's main theme is what your country (govt) can do for you. McCain's main theme is what you can do for your country.

Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country...John F. Kennedy

For the record, JFK was quoting Cicero. No democrat could ever come up with such a profound idea by himself.

It also seems that the Obamamaniacs are intent on changing America where McCain is focusing on changing Capitol Hill.

I am at odds with McCain on several issues, but he does believe in America. Obama does not.

It's usually said of most any election that "it's the most critical of our time." In this instance, I truly DO believe that this is the most critical election of our time. The president resulting from this election will set the path of this nation for some time to come, and I see the Left on an increasingly divergent and troubling path.

Great points your commenter made VW! All I have to say is there is no contest - it is McCain/Palin hands down. Obama does not even make sense on a good day.
