Why Rev. Wright is Not Anti-American

I can't even watch the news anymore! I always end up yelling at the TV, debating with some mindless "expert" who won't argue back and doesn't care what I think anyway. Let's face it, I'm not anyone's demographic in this race. Until a few weeks ago, I couldn't get enough politics. It was like watching the best reality TV show ever! No one could make this stuff up. A villain as scary as Hillary? A dreamer as smooth as Obama? A hero as shiny and spit-polished as McCain? This is great stuff! And then...

Then Hillary decided that outing Barack's over-zealous, old-school preacher as an anti-America, racist fanatic would somehow boost her approval ratings. I know she's grasping at straws, but come on already! Never mind the fact that it has wholly and categorically backfired. I won't mention the fact that her unlikeablity has skyrocketed since she stirred up this dust on this old story in an effort to divert the public outcry over her flat-out, where-the-hell-did-that-come-from lie about her trip to Bosnia. No, that isn't what makes me so mad.

So, why am I mad then? First, let's get this clear. I'm a non-believer, a white woman, a libertarian, mother of four, non-profit volunteer and a magically invisible entity in this race for president. I won't be voting for either of the Dems because I don't agree with their international or fiscal politics. However, I feel compelled to alarm everyone who knows me to stand up and defend Obama and Rev Wright.

Hillary (I know she's not the only one, but she is the most blatant) is so hellbent on creating a socialistic society that she's deemed it anti-American to be unhappy with the direction this country is going. No, wait, that isn't true. She's always saying how bad things are and how she's the only one who can fix them. So, maybe it is only anti-American to blame the government for your problems. But no. She's always saying how it's the government's job to fix all of my problems, so who else am I supposed to blame? Now I'm confused. Rev. Wright's comments are anti-American, but her campaign speeches aren't?
