A couple of questions...

Does it matter that Kenya was never a "royal colony"? How does the definition provided for the term relate to the essay itself?

Are we suggesting that Obama hates "the white man"? Or is the historical relationship between Obama and the Mau Mau rebellion somehow responsible for his fascination with collectivism and anti-capitalism?

In regards to Obama's ancestors being the root of his "pinko-commie" ways, does that mean the sins of the father ALWAYS taint the son? Why, then, did Washington not carry the "taint" of his loyalist forefathers? Or Lincoln the "taint" of his slave-owning ancestors and in-laws?

This sort of rant smacks of far-right conspiracy like that spewed out by Beck and Savage on a daily basis... and it does nothing to solve the problems facing the nation. You can cry that we need to understand the root of the problem before we can fix it, but that simply is not true.

The question facing the American people right now is NOT whether or not Obama has radical elements in his family's past, or in his own associations. Rather, it is a question of whether or not we, as a people, WANT all our "problems" solved by the government rather than by ourselves. We (the Bund) may NOT want that, but it is undeniable that many in America right now do want that... because they see it is free and easy relief from the daily troubles that plague all of us.

Find yourself into a mortgage you can't afford? Why not vote for a leader that promises "fair and equitable" housing allowances? But you won't get a new house for free... you get your name on a waiting list for a tenement like those found in Obama's own Chicago-land, Cabrini-Green. Find yourself unemployed and unable to find work? No worries, the Fed will send you a UEC check for 99 weeks (or more) until you can find a job... but you shouldn't take a job that pays less than you were making, because that simply wouldn't make sense, would it?

We don't need to see Obama's birth certificate... or to study and understand his Mau-Mau ancestors (if any were) and their hatred of all things Caucasian... we need to know that government is not the solution to our problems. It is the cause of most of them, and a roadblock to solving even those that aren't caused by government.
