Interesting article I found.
I'm stinky cause I got no linky. If you find a link to it post it for me please.

Subject: Your next President

The article below was written by syndicated columnist, Thomas
Sowell, a black man. He wrote it in a humorous way this past week 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
enough 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.

Now, did I mention Bill Clinton ?

AH YES ! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who
this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to
call herself. This "feminist" piece of work of course would like to be
referred to as MS. And we all know who wears the pant suit in that
family.

MS. Clinton, it is just as depressing to realize that there are
dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But,
unfortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU. Ms.
Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we waterboarded
your worthless "rear end"!

Still you play the role of the "embarrassed but dignified noble
wife". What utter malarkey! I am not voting for you for a world of
reasons, but the main one is the same as my not voting for Senator Obama.
You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably
possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote,
but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around
and then ask me to believe that you also did not know about Paula
Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your
lecherous excuse for a husband. Puleese turn off this broken record
!!!

But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant peccadilloes. The real
reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can
survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy
Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon
squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like
your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his thingy in his
pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he
lied about it and the pathetically-attempted coverup that followed.

Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could
not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the
BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out
Osama Bin Laden over 4,000 dead Americans ago !

And please stop telling me that you have "8 years of experience"
to lead us. You were the freakin' first lady already, not the Commander
in Chief. Jeez ! The sum of your "experience" is that of the most
worrisome and incompetent meddling in the history of the White House. You
even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were
and still are unfortunately charged with risking their lives to protect
your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people
who have to work for a living.

Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs,
alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible
freeloaders in America and to then "garnish the wages" (your own words) of
every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster
you refer to as "Universal Health Care." Where have you been the last
30 years? Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has
been tried? Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since
it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of
their own labors to pay for those who will not?

It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your
hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that
make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and
unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably
the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the
epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most
ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media
refuses to admit IS a "super delegate" in your own political machine,
a fine example of your own "adopted" state of New York. No wonder you
moved there to run for Senator! The environment there is perfect for the
likes of you!

Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU!

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 to 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 ieving 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 some good parody. Almost too subtle, though. I can imagine the legions that would read this and say, F yeah!

Okay, this is weird. You have no link to the article--so you typed in the entire thing from a newspaper or something?

You're going to vote for someone whose name you can't even spell?

Something just downright peculiar about that.

But, but...see, when you copy and paste, that implies you have the article open and if the article is open, the URL is just as available to copy and paste as the body of the article.

See why that doesn't make sense?

P.S. Look in your history.

I ripped it from another forum that I'm not giving a link to here because there was no link for it there either.
I also asked if anyone else had a link to post it please.
I did manage to find the article elsewhere just for you. :)

It seems the article was not in fact written by Thomas Sowell and I did not know this at the time I posted it.
Not a problem for me, I like it just the same.
Heres a link I did find about the article.

So you're going to vote for a guy based on some mysterious anonymous voice whispering into your ear that has to hijack someone's name in order to have any credibility?

Go for it, I guess it takes all kinds.

Yep, vote McCain for another 4 terms of Bush.

There will be zero difference between the socialism Obama will instigate and that McCain will instigate. The difference will be that McCain will cut taxes creating a big deficit and Obama will raise them to balance the budget.

Choose fucking wisely.

I expect to see Obama win the election. People love to get stuff for nothing.

I have never taken any welfare, But when he is elected I will apply for every penny I can get.
I hope to add to the burden and crash the system.
Burn baby Burn.

I've never seen Sowell use the term "African-American"... he always just says "black." So of course he didn't write that very, very fake article. That, plus it's clearly not his writing style.

However, as far as I can tell, he did write this:

Obama and McCain and Iran
By Thomas Sowell

Now that the two parties have finally selected their presidential candidates, it is time for a sober-- if not grim-- assessment of where we are.

Not since 1972 have we been presented with two such painfully inadequate candidates. When election day came that year, I could not bring myself to vote for either George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I stayed home.

This year, none of us has that luxury. While all sorts of gushing is going on in the media, and posturing is going on in politics, the biggest national sponsor of terrorism in the world-- Iran-- is moving step by step toward building a nuclear bomb.

The point when they get that bomb will be the point of no return. Iran's nuclear bomb will be the terrorists' nuclear bomb-- and they can make 9/11 look like child's play.

All the options that are on the table right now will be swept off the table forever. Our choices will be to give in to whatever the terrorists demand-- however outrageous those demands might be-- or to risk seeing American cities start disappearing in radioactive mushroom clouds.

All the things we are preoccupied with today, from the price of gasoline to health care to global warming, will suddenly no longer matter.

Just as the Nazis did not find it enough to simply kill people in their concentration camps, but had to humiliate and dehumanize them first, so we can expect terrorists with nuclear weapons to both humiliate us and force us to humiliate ourselves, before they finally start killing us.

They have already telegraphed their punches with their sadistic beheadings of innocent civilians, and with the popularity of videotapes of those beheadings in the Middle East.

They have already telegraphed their intention to dictate to us with such things as Osama bin Laden's threats to target those places in America that did not vote the way he prescribed in the 2004 elections. He could not back up those threats then but he may be able to in a very few years.

The terrorists have given us as clear a picture of what they are all about as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis did during the 1930s-- and our "leaders" and intelligentsia have ignored the warning signs as resolutely as the "leaders" and intelligentsia of the 1930s downplayed the dangers of Hitler.

We are much like people drifting down the Niagara River, oblivious to the waterfalls up ahead. Once we go over those falls, we cannot come back up again.

What does this have to do with today's presidential candidates? It has everything to do with them.

One of these candidates will determine what we are going to do to stop Iran from going nuclear-- or whether we are going to do anything other than talk, as Western leaders talked in the 1930s.

There is one big difference between now and the 1930s. Although the West's lack of military preparedness and its political irresolution led to three solid years of devastating losses to Nazi Germany and imperial Japan, nevertheless when all the West's industrial and military forces were finally mobilized, the democracies were able to turn the tide and win decisively.

But you cannot lose a nuclear war for three years and then come back. You cannot even sustain the will to resist for three years when you are first broken down morally by threats and then devastated by nuclear bombs.

Our one window of opportunity to prevent this will occur within the term of whoever becomes President of the United States next January.

At a time like this, we do not have the luxury of waiting for our ideal candidate or of indulging our emotions by voting for some third party candidate to show our displeasure-- at the cost of putting someone in the White House who is not up to the job.

Senator John McCain has been criticized in this column many times. But, when all is said and done, Senator McCain has not spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America.

On the contrary, he has paid a huge price for resisting our enemies, even when they held him prisoner and tortured him. The choice between him and Barack Obama should be a no-brainer.

I'm serious. I'm voting for McCaine.

Then the elitists have won a victory with your vote and you will succumb to the "lesser of two evils" illogic. You see, if you vote this way then the Republican candidates will NEVER change their platform. It is critical that you vote for an anti-establishment candidate (Barr, Baldwin, McKinnney, Nader, etc.). This Ron Paul Revolution must not give their votes to the status quo candidates that do the bidding of the military/industrial complex. Please reconsider. Please don't give up faith and hope that we can continue to grow as a significant movement.

Consider this thoughtful post in another thread:



a vote for either Barr or Baldwin is anything BUT a "throw-away" vote. The more people who can be convinced to stop voting for the lesser of two evils, the more we might find ourselves having truly CONSTITUTIONAL candidates presented. Isn't this at least part of the point of the entire last year and a half of support for Paul? Why throw THAT away??!
