Surfing around the internet these days, I have born witness to a lot of the bitterness in the case of some Hillary supporters. I am actually quite shocked at how indifferent some people can be towards the electoral process; the United States is at a critical point in its history and we need the right person to lead the country in the face of the new world order. I think it would do a world of good for some people in America to take a trip outside of the USA to gauge world opinion as well as bear witness to the growing power of Russia and China. The next President needs to be able to deal with the world and these two countries in a diplomatic fashion while ensuring the security of the nation. The most essential quality of the next President is that he must be able to do things differently, radically so in some situations and I think the only candidate who can do that is Senator Obama. MoveOn.org recent ran a contest for people to submit some adverts about Senator Obama in 30 seconds. After multiple rounds of judging, you can catch the finalists here. Out of all the finalists; the advert below is my favorite because it embodies a principle I hold quite dear to me, that of racial unity.

I haven’t been paying much attention to the Move On ad contest, but thanks for putting that one up. I like it a lot.

Hey Steve, they have alot of cool adverts up among the finalists. I had a hard time choosing one of my favorites but after careful consideration last night, the one I chose is the one that really hit home.

The suggestion behind all of these lovely calls for ‘civility’ when they come from the left is usually an attempt to silence their opponents, and nothing more.
In the mean time, MoveOn, which started as an entirely fake “bipartisan” organization funded initially by ‘big business cabal’ George Soros contiues to bait the population with class-struggle arguments from the previous century that don’t apply any more. They just dress them up a little differently.
I already lived behind the iron curtain with all of it’s fake notions of ‘the peoples’ property’ and doublespeak, when no-where on earth was there MORE hemogeneity being forced on people, MORE concentration of power, and dull, numbing misery was ubiquitous. I don’t want to live there again.

I will concede the point that the calls for silence on the left is in part to silence the right but in the current context of the electoral process. Look at the democrats and the republicans, who is more aggressive an uncivil, it definitely ain’t the democrats.
There does still exist a class-struggle of sorts in the USA so I would hardly call it baiting, when the level of income distribution is not as tilted as it currently is, then we can say the class struggle is over.
I have never lived behind the iron-curtain but there needs to be a balance between the left and the right, at the moment, that does not exist in the USA.
