VOIGHT: My concerns for America
Monday, July 28, 2008
The Washington Times
Excerpt:http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/28/voight/

OP-ED

We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.

Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.

The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.

The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

It is a good editorial.  The comments are good too.

its interesting, the more I read about Angelina Jolie (Voight's daughter) and her travels, the more conservative she is sounding. in fact, some of the things she talks about ought to get her thrown out of Hollywood.. such as, "we believe in guns in this house."

i hope more of them on that side start speaking out - especially the ones who have travelled to the areas that the rest of us have not, and seen with their own eyes what is happening.

Jolie apparently applauds the military for what is happening in Iraq right now, and has said many times that the surge is indeed working, and has been working AND that it was necessary.

Kudos to both her and her dad..

....and the offspring of '60's hippies are all over the comments section.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

I wonder if his attitude is one of the reasons that he is estranged from his daughter. :confused:

BTW. :cheersmate:
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I don't think so, I thought they were close in their political beliefs. Their estrangement was something from when she was young.

Most didn't.

It sure is hard to take any of you bleeding hearts seriously with all the poor grammar. With my rich conservative dollars I use spell check. I use my spell check to hold the poor people down.
The problem with you liberals is you respond with an emotional knee jerk reaction rather then logic. What, are we in sixth grade again? One might earn some credibility if they attacked the issues logically and not the person. Next time try responding with thought, not feeling.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
