He has a vision where no responsibility has to be accounted for in people's personal choices--that the rest of us will deal with the fallout of wherever those choices lead.

He fundamentally believes that America is a joke, a mistake, and something not to be proud of. He fundamentally believes that America is usually wrong, and always suspect.

He believes in sitting down with terror leaders--without condition! That he can talk the most unreasonable and maniacal personalities in the world into being our nation's friends.

He believes it is wrong to defend our nation, and her allies. And knowing this his running mate believes he will be tested quickly, and that we the people will not like his response.

He believes that he will get people of his skin color to vote for him out of permanent anger and unhealed wounds. He is also ready to further decimate their living conditions with policies that are not new, have been tried before, and historically have plunged this very same people group into further desperate poverty and dysfunction.

He will argue multiple sides of an issue publicly, but become privately infuriated and even thug-like in his response to those who disagree with him.

He believes in the censorship of speech.

He believes in the curtailing of religious expression so as to not "offend" anyone.

He believes individuals to be untrustworthy but he believes in the goodness of government (made up of untrustworthy individuals).

In short, he sees little of America's history, culture, or values as worth preserving. So he promises "fundamental transformation."

I believe America needs reform. Reform means correction of course--not setting out for a completely different destination all together.

I was right in December of 2006, though I said at the time I wish I would not have been. I do not have to be right, nor does Obama in 2008 if those of us who do not want "fundamental transformation" decide to put a stop to it.
