Sincere speeches can conceal lies - don't be deceived

So far I've resisted getting too serious or political here. I guess in part that's my temperment; while I have strong convictions about faith, family and freedom, I really hate to get into arguments. And I had planned to post something fun and lighthearted - if that's the right word - today. Maybe later.

I figured I'd get around to commenting on the upcoming election soon, but I'd hoped to not "go negative" at first.

But I read this today, and couldn't pass it by.

Now, I've told a few people about my blog, and I don't know how many check it on a regular basis. But if you're reading this now, It's worth your time to read this Real Clear Politics article on Obama's acceptance speech.

Here's a few excerpts:

"...It is too bad that the whole thing was a lie, which depended on the smoothness and apparent sincerity of Senator Obama's delivery to lull the listener into a state of credulity and prevent him from asking too many questions."

"...Obama is also painting himself as someone with uncontroversial, traditional American values...
This is supposed to make us forget that Barack Obama launched his political career under the spiritual guidance of a pastor who delivered far-left tirades calling on God to damn America..."

"Worse, he wants us to stop asking questions about this sort of thing."

"In essence, Obama is declaring simultaneous loyalty to individualism and to collectivism...to free markets and to state control.
If you wonder which half of this self-contradictory agenda will win out, Obama doesn't leave you in suspense...It is the free market that he wants us to regard as "discredited."
What he wants us to forget is what was actually discredited two decades ago by the collapse of the Soviet Union. What was discredited was socialism, not capitalism."

"That is what makes this the most dangerous election in many years. It has been almost half a century since the left's ideas have had such an intelligent, charismatic, and appealing advocate. He is now preparing to lead the left's effort to reconstitute itself in the first serious way since the Fall of Communism. He must be defeated."

"But there is a way to defeat Obama. His whole campaign is a beautifully presented illusion, and the way to defeat it is to keep hammering on the difference between illusion and reality. Because the more grandiose the illusion, the more thoroughly it will be rejected when it is revealed as a lie."
