Well, big whoop de doo. Obama has been declared Emperor of the Democratic Party. Great. Tonight, he’ll don his toga, rise up onto the stage of his Temple, and speak to the minions, bestowing his gaze upon them…

Okay, I have to stop before I throw up. Here’s the thing. Obama “won” the Democratic nomination through theft, bullying, intimidation, coercion, and collusion. Personally, I have a problem with that. Not just because I am a minister-type who specialized in Ethics, but as a human being with a conscience, as a US Citizen, and especially as a (former) Democrat. TO say it offends my sensibilities is a massive understatement.

What is this teaching our young people? What does this say about Americans in general? Apparently, you can plagiarize with reckless abandon, and now university professors will simply shrug it off as no big deal, as long as you are their favorite, I suppose. When did it change that plagarizing would not result in expulsion from an institution? At the very LEAST, the student would be brought up on charges. But Obama does it? No problem - “his policies are pretty much the same as Clinton’s anyway - and he is more electable” would be the retort.

Well, hell to the yeah they were the same - he would take her policies, and often take them whole cloth as his own. Not even bothering to change a WORD. Then the media would report what HIS policy was, and say Clinton’s was similar. Ask each one to EXPLAIN them, and only one could - Clinton. But that’s okay, because he is the Hope and Change candidate!! (more…)
