Defining Obama’s “Change”
October 22, 2008
When you ask most Obama supporters why they are supporting him, they give the standard line that “he’s for change.” When you ask those supporters to define what changes Obama will bring, they can’t define it. Dr. Thomas Sowell, one of the most brilliant conservative thinkers and economists, breaks it down for those Obama supporters:
“The magic word “change” makes specifics unnecessary. If things are going bad, some think that what is needed is blank-check ‘change.’
But history shows any number of countries in crises worse than ours, where ‘change’ turned problems into catastrophes.
In czarist Russia, for example, the economy was worse than ours is today and the First World War was going far worse for the Russians than anything we have faced in Iraq. Moreover, Russians had nothing like the rights of Americans today. So they went for ‘change.’
That ‘change’ brought on a totalitarian regime that made the czars’ despotism look like child’s play. The Communists killed more people in one year than the czars killed in more than 90 years, not counting the millions who died in a government-created famine in the 1930s.
Other despotic regimes in China, Cuba, and Iran were similarly replaced by people who promised ‘change’ that turned out to be even worse than what went before.”
The most expensive commodity that this coutry exports is ignorance. If the media won’t vet Obama like they have Joe the Plumber, they are doing a great disservice to us. We the People must inform ourselves and realize that Obama is unfit to lead this great nation.

Gamecocks Beat Rebels 31-24
October 5, 2008
HUGE win for the Gamecocks today! Smelley passed for more than 300 yards and 3 TDs while the defense made some big plays after a slow start. Tough test next week at Kentucky, but hopefully this is the start of something good.
