Vance Was Never Bothered by More Than Two Centuries of Only White, Male Presidential Candidates
RECEIVED Mon., Jan. 14, 2008
Dear Editor,
Louis’ revelation that the Democrat Party coronation of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is a “true revolution” is emblematic of the superficial ideology of all Democrats [“Page Two,” Jan. 11]. It is nothing but race- and gender-based. Of course, it must be realized that these criteria mysteriously lie at the center of their consciousness.
To be sure, race and gender are more central to Democrat perceptions of core values than even their backward tendencies to enshrine liberty-strangling class envy (e.g., graduated income tax, government control of free enterprise) and credulously believe that a tyrant such as the mad Islamist president of Iran should not be viewed as a genocidal enemy – especially in the post-9/11 world.
So what is a rational person to do? Vote for the woman or the black guy just to be fashionable and ignore the real positions that these people represent? Or should one acknowledge that America is the only nation that can keep the dark forces of tyranny, whether Islamist, Russian, Chinese, or North Korean, etc., from their appointed objectives of enslaving the world? Moreover, are we to ignore that Clinton and Obama are radical big-government nannies who will suffocate the economy, shatter prosperity, and potentially mortally wound our liberty?
More reasonable to the extreme, the Republican Party has the clear view of America as the only country capable of preserving freedom for humanity and posterity. Indeed, it is their profound commitment to ensure that the U.S. has the strongest military to defend liberty by force when necessary, support policies that produce dynamic economic opportunity and prosperity, and reject government tendencies to expect its citizens to work for it instead of the other way around. These realities require that a Republican president be elected – for our sake and the world.
