Logic, anyone?

An interesting though occurred to me this morning. Once again, election time has come. Once again, the country is divided virtually down the middle in regards to the upcoming candidates, with what seems to be a tendency to lean more towards the left than anywhere else. Towards which idealogy, may I ask, is the congress with the worst approval rating in U.S. history (.09%, to be exact) most associated? The socialist liberal left! What a minute, isn't the beloved patron of so-called "change" a member of this school of thought? Isn't the democratic candidate, i.e., the media poster child patron saint of leftist extremism, (subtle though he may be in conveying his ideas), of the SAME IDEALOGY? Despite this set of facts, this country is literally a hop, skip and a jump away from electing one Barack Obama, considered by many, even among the liberal schools of thought, to be a politician of extreme leftist tendencies. This begs the question- do people truly not understand the workings of the U.S. government? People whine and complain about their current lives- they cry out for change (with such high demanding that one would think they live in a third world country in need of a revolution), and yet their candidate of choice hails to the same side of the line as most of the current Congress! Take oil prices for example. Seems to me that I recall that it has been the liberal dominated Congress that has consistantly resisted the exploration and harvesting of oil resources in our northern extremes and in our watery oceanic borders, while their republican and conservative counterparts, including the President himself, have made it clear that we need to stop relying on foreign imports to sustain our country, but rather that we should responsibly use the ones that we already have. Congress maintains, however, that we will continue to import oil, and essentially blow away (no pun intended) billions of dollars on wind energy, and continue to pour money into hybrid, ethonal and battery techniques that continually fall short despite their hype. How is it, then, that this country is so precariously perched on the edge, ready to dive into voting for a candidate with virtually no track record (100+ days in the Senate hardly makes one an expert) and with staunch beliefs that liberalism (which, come folks, is really socialism with a smile and a nice suit...read your history books once in a while) is the one and only way to run this country and get us out of this so called "rut" that we are in with the current administration? Talk about more of the same..if you want to see more of the same or worse---be my guest, vote for the candidate of "change." How is it that Barack Obama's form of liberalism is any different than Nancy Pelosi's, Harry Reed's, or Ted Kennedy's? Have we seen great things from these men and women riding on their liberal beliefs in Congress? Once again, people need to truly study how it is that their country operates--how is it that President Bush (allbeit NOT my favorite president for many reasons) has taken 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan when so many people whine that we should already be out of there? I can tell you why, and very simply, too. Have you ever tried walking up a sand dune? You take one step upwards towards your goal, and fall three back. It is almost as if someone is pulling you down, isn't it? You and I both know that the United States (if only for the time being, God help us) has the most advanced, powerful, effective military IN THE WORLD, and yet look at how long it has taken them to make things work in Iraq. Might I remind the readers who has frequently, if not CONSTANTLY opposed the President's decisions about the war on Terror? You guessed it- the liberal left incarnate in the U.S. Congress. There's a saying associated with the U.S. Marines: "United States Marines: When it absolutely positively has to be destroyed overnight." We have the capability, people, to literally complete a mission, or an operation, or a war, in any time period needed, if only allowed to do so. A general was once asked about the ability that the U.S. had to have won the Vietnam war. His reply? "In any two week period you want to mention." Amazing, isn't it? We are like a racecar at the starting line, whose one and only function is to rev its engine. Yet the country willingly, WILLINGLY (and that is the sad part) wants to elect a man who will do nothing less than further the regurgetated, reiterated, age old ideas of a utopian society, which really only boils down to one thing- socialism, followed quickly by communsion. Churchill once said "Socialism is the equal distribution of poverty, and communism is socialism with a gun in your back." What would he say about Obamaism? "Obamaism is the single greatest enticement of the American people into an era of complete stupidity that ever was?I digressed greatly, but my point remains--many people seem to think that by electing a president of the same school of thought as the current Congress is going to make things any better! Barack Obama is, if not to a more extreme extent, the most liberal candidate this country has ever seen, and the congress we currently have "working" for us, is by far ALSO the most liberal this country has ever seen. Where is the logic in this? Posteriorly, logic played a grand part in voting patterns. In earlier times, this would have been a simple equationin thought; "Well, if plan A doesn't work, and our candidate is also a plan A, how will electing him make any change in our equation? It wouldn't- it would remain the same, just as 1+0= 1. Today people seem to think 1+0=2. Literally.
