So now I'm getting really scared. I'm of the opinion, like Tina Fay, that if the McCain/Palin ticket wins, I'll leave earth! It seems McCain has narrowed down the gap a little although Obama is still ahead.
This is what I'm afraid of, the Bradley effect. That all those who said would vote for Obama, come election day, will not because they would never vote for a black man, but never had the "cojones" to say so. I'm worried about all those Cubans in Miami (and I am Cuban by the way!) that will not vote Democrat because of Bay of Pigs fiasco and their hate for Kennedy. This was 40 or some years ago guys.... I'm afraid of the Jews, some of whom I've heard confess on the news, that they feel Obama and them are just "not the same color" and don't care much about anything or anyone else than Israel and keeping those damn Palestinians, that don't belong in a land that was theirs in the first place, out.
I am concerned...about those conservative Americans that go on CNN at the GOP rallies and say that they "turn off the liberal media" and stay conservative and "God Bless America". So they shut out any information that does not agree with them and they turn off their TV's so they can stay in denial and open themselves to some more politcs of fear and brainwashing. They are arrogant enough to think that in this day and age they can afford isolation and separation from the entire world, because the world revolves around the United States of America right....? And then they call the media "elitist."
I am concerned that pretty soon we'll go back on the separation between church and state and that we will be run and forced to live by the philosophy of the Christian Right.
Maybe things need to get worse before they get better, but here is the question... what does worse mean? Does it mean that there will be natural catastrophes, does it mean that we will not agree on anything and this will become a battle of ideas and religions? I mean, pretty soon we will have Christian Jihadists in America. I mean... aren't these the folks that say that the war in Iraq is "God sent". Aren't these the people that try to infiltrate themselves into positions of power so they can convert all of us "infidels"? Who are we really against here? Who are the real crazies? We say the Arabs are nuts, but what do we do here at home? Some people here shouted when referring to Obama "kill him". I thought we didn't do that kind of thing in America anymore. I thought we were past that and that this country was the "shining beacon" of freedom, and I include racial freedom, and expression.
