I can interpret my own feelings thank you

I'm one of the many for whom the man spoke the other day at a McCain rally when he said, "I'm mad...". Well, now I'm doubly mad because I've been seeing on the news for the last few days that the media has interpreted my anger to be against Obama and stirred up by McCain rhetoric. They're stone cold wrong on both points and I'm tired of being told what and why I think and feel. Which may be the root of the problem with liberals anyway.

First of all, this anger isn't at Obama, it's at McCain! Is the media so deaf as to not hear the words that are coming out of the mouths of these people? We're mad at McCain for not standing up for us. We're trying to tell him that we are angry that socialism is getting a foothold in America and that he is failing in the responsibility he's taken upon himself to point it out and prevent it. We're probably also a little mad at ourselves for letting such a possible failure represent us. So... Wrong on why we're mad and Wrong on who we're mad at! We're not mad because of what McCain is saying. If anything, we're mad because of what he's NOT saying!

The point about Ayres shouldn't be simply that he and Obama palled around or that we think Obama wants to blow up buildings. It's that it helps reveal a pattern of associates who openly and directly counter our conservative beliefs. But I doubt we even need that pattern to show the point. We have Obama's own voting record - one of the most liberal in congress. Is McCain even pointing that out though? Not so much. Something is wrong with McCain and we don't know what it is. We're starting to feel like we've been sold out. Thus the anger. Get a clue media types.

I took a Political Science class in college from which I picked up two great life lessons. First that passion for a cause is one of the great things. Second and more relevant here is that liberals are not for the little guy like the little guy thinks they are. In that class we were taught that we were the elite and that we would be responsible for leading the 'little guy' who, it was inferred, was incapable of thinking for and helping himself. At first that thought made me feel good about myself, but soon I saw it for what it is. Liberals are not trying to help the 'little guy', they're simply pointing out the difference between them and the 'little guy' in their minds so that they can keep that superior feeling. In short, liberals need the poor and down trodden to stay poor and down trodden and dependent and they work hard to that end. It's more complex than that, but that gets close to the point.

The first time I knew I couldn't vote for Obama (and I really wanted to from the moment he took stage at the 2004 democratic national convention) was when I saw him tell a crowd attending one of his rallies that they were tired of being told to pull themselves up by their boot straps. That they were there because they wanted the government to help them out. The crowed cheered. I saw the shame in that as well as the manipulation.

Obama and fellow liberals try to inject us with interpretations of our thoughts and feelings constantly. Just listen to a single rally. Well, I'm tired of it and wont have it. I'm capable of interpreting my own thoughts and feelings thank you and here's another of the great things I've learned: that I'm not so different from other people. We'd all be well advised to live by that principle.

Another thing I hate is being labeled uncaring and unfeeling just because I don't believe in stealing from Peter (excess taxes) to pay Paul (excess welfare). I donate a very large percentage of my net income to the needy along with my time and energy as do large numbers of other conservatives so give up on that ugly lie!

And another thing! Just because I understand who it is that keeps our unemployment numbers low (large and small business) does not mean that I am, desire to be, or approve of corrupt, power hungry robber barons. Get over that one too and bask in the sunlight of your lower ignorance level.
