My grandad was Annapolis '24. An immigrant who went into 'service' commanding gunboats in China. He was later commandant of GLNTC.
There is no crushing of any profit for any who matter to the Cthonic powers behind Obama/McCain. They still have you dazzled by their puppet show - worrying about an artificial struggle of imaginary contestants of pantomime ideology. Your passions are spent on this shadowplay, while your livelihood and your soul are drained away in their secret machinations.

New version of an old joke:
The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise was finally inching up to the pier at homeport when the Captain of the ship noticed a sailor on the flight deck gesturing wildly with semaphore flags. He then noticed an attractive young woman standing on top of an SUV, also waving semaphore flags.
Always concerned about security and never having seen something like this, the Captain barked at his Bridge Signalman, "What message are those two people sending?"

I would like to live in a system that gives me as many choices how to spend my hard earned money as possible. Anyone who thinks Obama is the right vote for this is indeed "dazzled".

In relativistic terms, Teddy was probably one of the better presidents.

No thanks. Forty five years of Johnson/Nixon is more than enough. Besides, I'm not saying that Teddy was actually good. And there's certainly nothing truly "liberal" about Obama. Both he and McCain are authoritarian talking heads. Neither faction of Party will ever get my vote. They can all hang.

The far left died with Joseph Stalin. Now the world mainly has fascists and ultra right. No left, no Centre Left, and no Centre. The world is going to hell in a hand basket. It almost makes me want to go out and get a gun permit.

I was kind of a fan of Teddy for most of my life, but, aging, I realize that the tendency to concentrate power through taxation and legislation in Washington DC ends up eroding the levels of government.
People are reflexively looking to DC for leadership, and not considering lower level alternatives; not the leadership, not the Congresscritters.
