The Toronto Sun wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009. A young student friend e-mailed me on Tuesday night. “Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots — who cannot spell Barack Obama’s name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies — running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a b****. I love democracy!” Even so, the people spoke. A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of ...

My friends, we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in...

Come on! Put the celebrity worship aside for a moment. Put skin color aside. Just think about Obama and his “spread the wealth around” tax policy. Let’s talk heartbeats. Sounds weird, but I’m going somewhere here. A bit of Internet research led me to the fact that the average number of heartbeats in a life time for a human being is about one billion. To make this more understandable, the average human heart beats around 70 times a minute. In one eight-hour work day your heart beats around 33,600 times. This is your heart beating – every beat subtracted from...

You may consider this to be horribly old fashioned, but I operate on the principle that governments have the power to tax so that governments can collect the money needed to pursue and pay for the legitimate functions of that government. By “legitimate functions” I’m referring to law enforcement, national defense, a system of courts to adjudicate interstate disputes, national infrastructure and the costs associated with running the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. Now we can get into quite an argument over what constitutes a “legitimate...

This really isn’t a reason to vote for or against Barack Obama, but you do need to know what the next four years are going to be like with an Obama presidency. During the campaign there have been some rather amazing charges of racism. Let’s see if we can remember a few: Using the word “skinny” to refer to Obama is racist. “Community organizer” is a racist term. Any reference to a connection between Obama and Franklin Raines, the former head of Fannie Mae is racist…that would be because Raines is black. All references to Jeremiah Wright are raci...
