BLOG FROM A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ONE COMMUNITY IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WANTS TO SHUT DOWN OPPOSING VIEWS--SOUNDS LIKE SOCIALISM TO ME!

"I am sending this to a few of you to perhaps reinforce something I have felt for a long time. This appeared on a blog regarding the letter below with the following statement:



"This is a guy that need a forum to spew his thoughts and cannot do it on the Riverbend email vehicle since he and others were admonished for creating political bias. The ditto's love this and add to the insane rhetoric and dare to call themselves true Americans by disrespecting the office of the President. You may not like the person but you should respect the office."

There were 6 replies to this comment all of which admonished the sender. My point is this; I believe that we have among us some real socialists sympathizers and I say this because the video of the Oct 2nd Socialist rally could not be misunderstood. Those that participated in that rally were true Obama supporters.

It is hard for me to believe that anyone who earned a living that enabled them to establish themselves as residents of RB, could support a political doctrine that would have made it almost impossible for them to achieve what they achieved.
Thanks for listening; I needed to vent."----Lou

Why We March & Vote

“The most crucial midterm elections in our nation's history are barely a month away. What's at stake? The future of the changes our country voted for in 2008 with the election of President Obama. The message then was clear: the voters had enough of the right-wing policies attacking working people, enough of endless war, racism, environmental destruction, hate and division.”

If you plan on voting the Democratic ticket November 2nd, the paragraph quoted above came from the CPUSA web site in reference to the Communist/Socialist rally in Washington DC on October 2nd. If you are not familiar with CPUSA it stands for Communist Party USA.

What more ringing endorsement of our sitting president then the support of CPUSA.

The question you must ask yourself is this: do they speak for me and is this the change I voted for? Every democrat I know has always fought against worldwide Communism yet here we stand. As Americans, do we still support a president who has been called a Socialist, a Marxist or do we put aside party politics and vote out those that support Obama’s agenda?

They’re right about one thing when they stated, “The most crucial midterm elections in our nation's history are barely a month away. What's at stake?”

I think we all know the answer to that one; God give us the courage to stand for the hard right against the easy wrong.
