The Young Turks

Everybody keeps saying, "oh, Hillary and Barack are pretty much the same on the issues". Even Cenk has said this.

Well, I'm sorry Cenk, but you are completely wrong. First off, Hillary lies about half the issues, so eventhough her lies might be similar to Obama's real positions, her support corporate interests is very antithetical to what Obama is saying.

And it is on this one BIG ISSUE, an issue that almost nobody talks about (except Obama himself of course), that there is a world of difference.

 It is the issue of the POLITICAL PROCESS. On this one gigantic overiding issue, Obama represents a true patriotic vision of our future. A vision where the government is more responsive to the people, because the people have greater access to the goverment.  Whereas Hillary represents the same old status quo, the same old system, the corporate lobbyist stranglehold on our government and politicians who are beholden to them, and not the people.

 ..................... ................

So they had this Hillary backer, a congressman from Missouri, Emanuel Cleaver, on CNN recently, and they asked him why he was supporting Hillary when more than 80% of his district voted for Obama? And the good congressman  said:

"I'm supporting her, and will continue to support her, out of LOYALTY, I am LOYAL to the Clintons."

So, basically, Congressman Cleaver's support for Hillary had
NOTHING to do with policy, or who would be the better President,or the  character necessary to be President, or integrity, or any other issue. It was simply support based on loyalty. Loyalty to the Clinton "royal" family, to the "restoration of the crown".

And it hits me, thats exactly it, the Clintonites are LOYALISTS! Just like the 1/3rd of Americans who stayed loyal to the crown in the Revolution, no matter how much the British Army raped and pillaged (in this case, the Clintons are carrying out "rhetorical pilaging"). The Clintonites are TORIES!

They don't care about issues, or, if they do, they don't realize they are being LIED to and misled (NOTE: Hillary VOTED FOR the new BANKRUPTCY ACT, a HUGE GIFT to CORPORATE AMERICA and the CREDIT CARD COMPANIES!). They don't care who is the better leader in this very difficult time, or who has the decency and integrity when its needed most. Its simply about LOYALTY to them. Well, LOYALTY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, not nearly good enough in these troubled times.

Obama gave a speech in Philadelphia a couple weeks ago, in which he said, we must "throw off the TYRANNY" of CORPORATE LOBBYISTS who CONTROL our government, just like Americans had to throw off "British tyranny" in the American Revolution".

Just like the founding fathers of our American Revolution, Obama is the REAL PATRIOT. He wants a revolutionary transformation of our SYSTEM to fullfill the rights and needs of ALL AMERICANS to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"!

In 1780, after 5 years of fighting, the American Revolution almost failed. Several devastating defeats on the battlefield, even the surrender of the Patriot Army in the South, and the defection of the great general Benedict Arnold to the British, its seemed all was lost.

But we didn't give up. In the LAST ACT of the Revolution, the Patriots rallied, and with their allies defeated the British and the Loyalists at Yorktown in 1781. We stood up and fought, and turned it around and won.

NOW IS THAT POINT in this deeply significant election! This is the most important election since 1968. Its not a fluke that Obama has quoting Bobby Kennedy so extensively the last few days - because he's trying to take us down that same progressive road that Bobby Kennedy was trying to those long 40 years ago.

For the FIRST TIME in 40 YEARS, a TRULY PROGRSSIVE DEMOCRAT has a REAL CHANCE of becoming President! Obama is NOT somebody who is "unpatriotic" because he doesn't wear a "lapel pin" 24 hours a day, Obama is the TRUE PATRIOT because he is trying to CHANGE THE SYSTEM FOR THE PEOPLE.

Thats what "CHANGE" IS ALL ABOUT!

This is a real and truly PATRIOTIC cause, not some terrible, grotesque, FALSE PATRIOTSIM that led Americans to support the War in Iraq! REAL PATRIOTISM is FOR THE PEOPLE, and thats what Obama represents!

So, at this critical hour, STAND UP AND FIGHT for the people, be a TRUE PATRIOT, and defeat the Clintonite TORIES and corporate lobbyists!

STAND UP AND BE A REAL PATRIOT in this difficult time! OBAMA NOW MORE THAN EVER!
