Recreate 68: "Passing the torch" -- or just torching the past?
By Curtis Dahlgren

"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid." - Ronald Reagan

TO AN AUDIENCE OF 40 MILLIONS, Barack Obama said, "We must pledge once more to march into the future."

"How's that for a pithy, spongy, catch-phrase?", this writer said, to an audience of dozens. "Life ain't FAIR, but we can keep plugging away, eh?"


Having no other choice but to "march into the Future," the danger is still in forgetting the lessons of the Past. As I've said over and over, an attack on your ROOTS is an attack on YOU (any old tree surgeon such as myself could tell you that).

And this is the Year of the Rat — the year the liberal social engineers have big plans — plans to take final and complete control of Congress, the Courts, and the White House (and change the cultural landscape forever). They plan to cut off your roots completely!

Getting to this point, this precipice, took decades and decades of psycho-babble and the total dumbing down of the public schools. To get the United States of (gasp) AMERICA to the point where 40-some percent of the people can stand up and cheer for a non-statement such as, "We must pledge once more to march into the future," took a lot of EFFORT on the part of the Educational Establishment.

By the way, that's the only line that I heard from Obama's acceptance speech in Denver. In this part of the country, there was a Packer game going on at the time. I personally didn't watch either (since I threw my TV out years ago), but thanks to the Packers at least, millions of people were spared the Obama speech at "Recreate 68." [Someone ought to remind the Dems that they lost in 1968 because the radicals in Chicago turned off a lot of people who had never voted Republican in their entire lives.]

This time, they have nominated a radical from Chicago to run for the White House!

For the chronological record, Governor Palin of Alaska was nominated the next day to run for Vice President on the "Republican" ticket (time will tell whether the GOP still believes in "republicanism," but one thing for sure, the family from Alaska brought a lot of fresh air to national politics)!

THINK ABOUT IT: Would you rather have the country run by two lawyer-senators (Obama, the "community agitator" and Biden, the token white bread candidate), OR would you prefer a ticket with people from REAL LIFE??

The Republican ticket is probably upside-down, but as for REAL LIFE experiences, it's going to be impossible for Obama-Biden to "match up" against deep-sea fishermen, oil field workers (Mr. Palin a union member), and snowmobile racing, not to mention a beer distributorship to boot. All I can say is, WOW!

Kids in Chicago having kids think they've done it all. "Community agitators" in crooked Cook County elections think they've done it all! But have they broken an arm racing or broken fingers fishing for salmon? NOOOO! Who can "relate" to a "community organizer" when you can have a real-life North Slope union worker in the VP wing of the White House?

Thank God for Alaska, Wyoming, and Idaho (where Sarah [Heath] Palin grew up and went to college. I wish Dick Cheney's health were good enough to run for the job, and the last thing the Dems expected was to run against another "oil man," but then again, in their hearts even most Democratic lay people know we need oil to make gasoline (and natural gas too, Nancy), so it's going to be an "interesting" campaign — even though I still don't know if I'll vote for a "minor" candidate over the majors.

A rancher in Texas said that Obama is like a post-turtle. When asked what he meant, he said that if you see a turtle sitting on top of a fence post, the turtle is in way over his head and you wonder who "put him up there"? And so it is with the Senator from Illinois!

They used to say "Wyoming is what America was." Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote (because their women were daughters of the Pioneers, and were familiar with REAL LIFE out there). Senator Obama recently said, "America isn't what it used . . ." [he caught himself almost saying America isn't what it used to be," but of course the Liberals don't WANT America to be what it used to be, so Barry finished the sentence by saying "isn't what it could be"].

Liberals don't want our children — or anyone else — even KNOWING what America used to be (that's all Ancient History to them, and history is a verboten topic). Well, Alaska is now what America used to be and still COULD be, and Alaska is the last subject in the world that the Libs wanted "injected" into this Presidential election campaign.

I'm making no predictions, except to say that thanks to the Palins, this is going to be the most "funnest" campaign since 1980. John McCain either backed into this one, or he's dumb like a fox.
