Day 6

Status: Afraid. I fear for the future, obviously. But what I fear most is what will happen to me. I have never been the POW kind - the kind that John McCain is. If I were ever tortured, or deprived, I would crack faster than Winston in the face of a mask of Rats. I fear what speaking out might do. But what I fear most is the Draft. I support our troops, but I never could be one. And Obama will reinstate the draft. He will offer it, or his "civilian defense force". I can't fight. Nor could I join the ranks of the brown shirt army... Must stay strong...

Obama is not even president yet, and already the world loves us again and he is being compared to Kennedy and "the great presidents of the past". Also, apparently there is now an Office of the President-elect...

Cabinet News:
Google CEO says 'no thanks' to Obama cabinet position
Now what would a Director of Technology do? Would censoring the internet be appealing to one taking the job?
Obama Appoints Fairness Doctrine Backer
If anyone doubted this... and what's worse: the FCC bypasses Congress in making "regulations", so calling your congressmen doesn't help...
Granholm pleads for auto aid, avoids Obama cabinet question
Obama has appointed to the economic transition team the governor of Michigan. Note that is it Michigan that has everything Democrats think makes a good economy, and people are leaving in droves.

Finally, the head of the office of the President-Elect has stated what he thinks of the Constitution. There are several movements now to change it, and there is no doubt, given his statements, that he wishes to change it. What I love about this source is that the purpose of it is to quell conservative attacks. Excuse me while I jump around happily for a moment. [Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOinedzuoh4]

INTERVIEWER: Barack Obama, what are your thoughts on the Declaration or Constitution?
BARACK: You know, I think it's a remarkable document... uh, I think, uh...
INTERVIEWER: Which one?
BARACK: The original constitution...uh...as well, as well as the Civil War amendments, but I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects... uh... some deep flaws... uh... in... uh... American Culture... the colonial culture [prevalent] at that time. African Americans were not...uh... (first of all they weren't African Americans). The Africans at the time, uh, were not considered, uh, as part of the polity that was... uh... of concern... uh, to the framers. I think that, as Richard said, it was a nagging problem... uh, in the same way that these days we might think of environmental issues or some other problem where you have to balance... uh... you know, cost benefits, as opposed to seeing it as a moral problem involving... uh uh... persons... uh uh uh of moral worth. And in that sense I think we can say that... uh uh, the constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day and, and uh, and that the framers, uh, had that same blind spot. I-I-I don't think that two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document... uh, that paved the way for where we are now and to say that... uh... it also... uh... reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.
INTERVIEWER CONTINUES.

I hate to break it to you, Mr. Obama, but given the "but" you had at the beginning of your speech there (underlined above) you were bullshitting us about thinking it is a "remarkable document". Not only that, but you have completely forgotten about two important issues concerning the racism (cleverly not called directly so) you see in the Constitution:

1. As you unwillingly point out in the beginning, your qualms lie with the "original" Constitution, before the Civil War broke out. Stop living in the past, Mr. Obama: The Civil War and the (conveniently forgotten) civil rights movement have changed the Constitution to rid it of any "racism".
2. Obama conveniently forgot that the framers to the constitution were at odds over how slavery should be represented. The northern states wanted black people and slaves counted as whole people, while the southern democrats did not. They settled with the three-fifths rule, which, restating point 1, was repealed with the 14th Amendment, ratified during Civil War Reconstruction.

So, Obama, what is the fundamental flaw of the Constitution if "racism" has been removed from it? He will change the Constitution, and it will be for the worse. So help us God.

End Log.
