#71 McCain Faces His Torturer Tonight

FREEDOM'S VIGIL: This morning I watched Sarah Palin address a rally in New Hampshire, and I thought she was a little subdued. The fight in her seemed dampened. Then I heard that she and others had urged McCain to address the fact that Obama's friends are un-American, but the broken McCain was again. He supposedly said that if he attacked Reverend Wright, it might cause great trouble in America later. So here we go again, another excuse to be a pacifist. I fear that McCain is a broken man; his torturers in North Vietnam broke him, as they would anyone, and made his denounce America. He's never recovered from that, as you would expect would happen to anyone, particularly if you didn't have an ideology that was strongly anti-communist to help you though. McCain has no ideology that I can see. His campaign motto is "Country Frist." That could be the slogan of a communist, certainly it is not the motto of a person who knows that America was created for the freedom of the individual. America was not created to become a God-State that everyone had to serve. The Democrats are running the most vicious, low campaign in our history. They are saying horrible things about his family, Sarah and her family, and about him. They are torturing these people psychologically, and Obama is the head of the Democratic Party. He could stop it if he wanted to. Obama is McCain's torturer, and McCain will meet his torturer in a debate tonight. Will McCain be able to name names and name associations and misdeeds by Obama and his friends in an intense and unremitting way or will he be pacific and mealy-mouth? Will he be man enough to confront his torturer in a unplacating, sustained way? There is Reverend Wright to discuss (oops, I forgot: McCain has supposedly already decided to exempt him!), there's Father Phleuger, there's Tony Rezco, there's Bill Ayers, there's Acorn, there's killed children back in Illinois,and there's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac run to ruin and nearly ruining our country by the Democrats. What more do you need to show that Obama is un-American? Want to throw in the fact that his wife, Michele, said she was never proud of America until her husband started running for president? Will McCain ask these questions, one after another, when he faces his torturer tonight? Or will he continue to identify with his torturer - it's called the Stockholm Syndrome and Identification with the Aggressor in psychology - as he as done in the past? Remember calling Obama a "decent man" and one we can trust to run this country?
Last night I read this in John Sanford's mystery, "Phantom Prey": "They (politicians - mine) take property away from people who work to get it, and give it to people they think will vote to keep them in their jobs. It's that raw." Indeed, it is. What leader is there who will say that and protect us in a sustained, consistent way? I'm afraid it's not John McCain.
