The World Watches

Barack Obama is poised to deliver his acceptance speech tonight at mile-high stadium in Denver, CO. With the world, well, except Fox Noise, watching, Obama will attempt to rally the Democrats and push himself ahead of John McCain in the polls.

Why do I mention this? Because I still believe that Barack will lose the November election purely because he's black. I don't think this country can do it. We'd like to believe we can, we'd like to believe that we really aren't racists anymore; but we are.

Obama is a strong candidate, but I don't think it matters. He's a good guy, but I don't think it matters. He knows how to speak, and he might just deliver on some of the promises made this week, but I don't think it matters.

This country faces four more years of the Bush-McCain failed policy, suspension of our rights, and exploitation of our troops abroad if Obama is unable to overcome this country's underlying commitment to racism. This election, as in all elections, is important. But more importantly, I think we may be early enough in the game to prevent this country from turning into the next Nazi state.

We're already on our way, the government can now arrest you without cause and detain you without explanation....these are the first steps people. The first steps to oppression. Do not let history repeat itself.

It's time for Barack. It's time for change. And it's time to show the world that not all of us are pigs over here.
