Political Action Or Political Maneuvering?
Nine days ago, John McCain (as well as the Bush administration), was proclaiming the soundness of the fundamentals of our economy. A few days later, after realizing his political blunder, John McCain, dropped his “sound economy” argument and started blaming the corporate heads of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Obama for the economic mess. Today, John McCain, has suspended his campaign and is headed to Washington to make sure the economy, which was supposedly “sound,” gets fixed.

Political Pontifications
As a student of history, I have always been fascinated by the sociopolitical events which led to the Fascist take over of Germany, and how they were so successful, as many people seemed to be caught so unaware of the impending doom that loomed upon the horizon; how could they have been so blind, as not to have seen what was coming towards them, and what was happening to their country? I would often wonder, how a people who professed a belief in God, could condone things like sterilization, and euthanasia of the elderly, puzzled me deeply: this could certainly never happen again, and could certainly…never happen here in the United States, or could it? Read the purposed health care bill; in the vicinity of page 425, it speaks to having…end of life counseling, and states that only [certain doctors] will be able to write (end of life orders), well that’s comforting to know…that the decision whether or not your life is worth saving…will rest with only “Special Doctors,” now doesn’t it? Incidentally, this is very similar to the policies that the National Socialist Party had in effect (you know, the Nazi’s) after they came into power in Germany during the 1930′s.
