Here's a place when all that can be said is, "The truth is that Barack Obama has not aligned himself with radical extremists who hate America for half of his life -- pure and simple." I guess that makes the above statement a lie, the vomitus bile that extrudes from such toxic places as Fox Fake News and Rush Limbaugh's well paid fat mouth. That's the mouth that's paid to keep this country as divided and self-flagellating as possible. The people that the letter writer obviously listens to are paid to spread lies, many which I believe they, themselves, know are lies. But, money talks and money means more to some than a United States of America.
Of course, Bill Ayers "are the radical extremists" with whom Obama has "aligned" himself. Yes, at the age of eight, Obama was right there at Ayers' side.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
Of course, here the letter writer is referring to the president's speech in Cairo. The president said:
"More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations."
To be fair, it would be the onus of the letter writer to disprove that the US has, indeed, colonized the Middle East, with the help of its unscrupulous leaders. It has done so to the point where we in the US extract and use more Middle East oil than do the people who live atop of that oil.
So, on the one hand, we have one president who calls it as it is and, on the other hand, a former president who chose to insult the people of the region by exclaiming that ours is a "crusade" against the people of the region. Those people and their ancestors know the horrors hidden behind the word "crusade" all too well.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
The United States has a Constitution and, although I pride myself on getting to know the Constitution better and better as time goes on, I had to, yet, read it again to try to find where it states that the private sector should "dominate" the social discourse in our country.
For sure the private sector has a major role to play in the US, especially in the area of commerce.
However, it is not the place of the private sector to declare war or to make laws which "promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to (the American people) and (their) posterity". That is and always has been and always will be the job of government.
If the writer is saying that, despite what The Constitution says and in total defiance of The Constitution, the private sector, through its illegal lobbying and payoffs of members of Congress, actually make these decisions that should be made by the government, then I'd have to agree. This is an unfortunately widely accepted illegal practice that anyone who claims to be "patriotic" should be working very hard to stop.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
The letter writer, as all who oppose government involvement in distributing and assuring health care for all Americans, should not fear government control. They should be embarrassed and ashamed that The United States of America is the only industrialized nation in the world who sees health care as a privilege, not a right.
It never ceases to amaze me that people will campaign against their own best interests.
