Obama's speech in Germany

Hello again, just had to come back for a moment because I can't keep silent. This has been quite a week politically speaking. Sen. McCain was in town, I was there, it was quite a nice event. McCain was gracious, but most of all he was a picture of American pride. He was not my choice for Republican nominee, but I am quite proud of him these days. It will be easy to vote for him, especially given the things that are coming out of Barak Obama's mouth.

I don't care about the gender, race or age of my President, I care about policy, period. The vision they share and past voting records is all that matters. When John McCain went abroad he spoke with glowing pride in regard to his country, the same can't be said for Obama, and as an American I am angered and offended.

Here are some quotes I'd like to address:
(Obama's quotes in red, appropriately)

Yes, there have been differences between America and Europe. No doubt, there will be differences in the future. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together. A change of leadership in Washington will not lift this burden. In this new century, Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more -- not less. Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the one way, the only way, to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.
Obama considers himself a citizen of the world, which makes me wonder why he is running for president. I have no interest in becoming a global citizen, I am an American. I do not wish to be required to do more, nor do I believe it is his right to require me and my fellow countrymen to do more. Partnership and cooperation isn't a choice? Partnership of what, and what is this constant talk of the common humanity and the common good, it sounds like communism.In fact Obama's marxism is showing all over this speech.

That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.
Guess what Barak, these walls have been up since the beginning of time. Not you or anyone esle is going to force them down. More importantly,
what exactly does he mean when he says the walls between the countries with the most and the least cannot stand? Who does he think sends money to these underprivilaged countries now! If we "equalize" least and most there will be no one to help, as everyone will become least. Read history, that's how it works. Marxism showing again.

This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.
He admits open markets create wealth! Last I checked we have free trade and American's are losing jobs because liberal politicians at home have not met a regulation they don't like. Trade is good for anyone who has a will to work and compete, "making it fair" will destroy the prosperity we do have. Marxism showing.

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions
Wow, can't believe he said this on foreign soil!

People of Berlin -- and people of the world -- the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. Let us build on our common history, and seize our common destiny, and once again engage in that noble struggle to bring justice and peace to our world.
There's that word common again. Isn't America free? While socialism exists in Germany and Europe they do have some democracy, and not communism as in past decades. What is this struggle for freedom that we have inherited? Improbable hope? Maybe that was true for Germany before Reagan broke the grip communism had on Germany and Russia, but not now.

This has been a long post, but it's important to understand the terms a candidate for President is throwing around, especially over seas. Not only is Obama unqualified, but he is not a man who considers this country to be a priority, by his own words.We have given away freedom for security in this nation for too long. We have lost sight of what a treasure freedom is in our demand for government aid everywhere in life. The answer my friend lies in you, in your personal struggle and triumph. Nobody does it better on your behalf than you.

A quick not to my fellow bloggers on this site, great posts all. Thanks for sharing your opinions and research with us on a consistant basis, especially VDSM.
