When Sarah Palin was selected by John McCain, presumeably against the advice of certain factions on his own campaign staff, she proved to be a breath of fresh air to the campaign, an 'everywoman', wife, mother, pro-lifer good to her word with a special-needs baby everyone wanted to hold when she would stop in at a Walmart on the campaign trail.

But when Barack 'Barry' Obama decided to meet and greet, recently, he ran into another flawed American, with problems and flaws - unlike Barry it would seem - who wondered about what had been vaguely rumored about a tax increase at the threshold of $250K. That's what he'd heard. He'd signed on at a small plumbing firm where the owner, at least until this week presumeably, had offered to sell this guy the business, at some point. A handshake sort of thing, I guess. And the business could well top this $250K threshold. Obama was walking by. He brought it up. His name was, Joe (going by his middle name, as many do - his first name is Sam).

Did Barry say - no, you will NOT see any increase, as Barry insisted at the third debate just a short while later? No, Barry made out like Joe the Plumber, as he's now called, and now somewhat of a metaphor for not just other firms of that name but of working people around the country not affiliated, perhaps, with a union, was somehow . . that Joe was overly privileged, perhaps. Instead, wouldn't he rather Obama 'spread the wealth around', give like Robin Hood to the poor? Remember, the topic was taxation. And Joe didn't like what he heard.

But then a lot of people didn't like what Barry had to say. Now, it could be rationalized as the dog devoured my homework by claiming that Barry suddenly wasn't talking taxes when he said that, but rather government 'assistance' to the 'disadvantaged'. Did Barry intend to borrow, again, putting out Treasury notes that with the trillions . . and trillions . . now being offered that Treasury might soon face problems selling such notes? Did Barry intended to use taxpayer money in order to play Robin Hood? Joe would probably have understood it, that way. But really in either case, Joe would have been right. The American people pay either way.

Barry has quite the history of surrounding himself and taking direction from not merely hate-America types; Ayers, Davis, the so-called 'Rev' Wright, the Chicago machine, even his own wife. But more to the point, those NOT proud to be American have taken, or been fed, the agenda of a militant Sovietism that many think died in the late 1970s. Apparently not. It's Robin Hood. But Robin is the king, and those he attacks are the villagers, giving to himself a percentage, and placing other villagers on the dole with the proceeds. The village is divided, unmotivated, and the kingdom collapses. And the king will never blame himself. Apparently the KGB, which supposedly is no more, is about to cash in on its 50-yr-plan. The entire leftwing cabal of Ayers, of Dorhne, of the Weather Underground, Black Panthers, to the co-ops and food banks, to the 'community organizing' of Alinsky, was the early path to formation for one, Barry Obama - or whatever he called himself, at the time. Barry made important decisions in Ayers own living room. He worked with him on projects, sat even recently on panels organized by his wife, Michelle, and said nothing to distance himself from such views. For almost twenty years, he sat and listened to the Panther/Communist rhetoric of so-called 'Christian' pastor, 'Rev' Wright. Only when Ayers came to light, only when Wright came to light, did he say - I do not know the man. All these agreed - America is evil.

It is ironic that where Farrahkan, and perhaps those in the Middle East and Kenya, have mentioned the word, messiah, in connection with Barry Obama, it is here that we have a messiah who denies his friends, not yet his friends who deny Obama.

ACORN was as much a part of sowing chaos against the 'evil that is America'. Hundreds of thousands of registrations are in doubt. Entire elections might have been stolen. Other arms of the leviathan encouraged risky and bad lending practices or else face charges of bigotry. Motor voter always included such a component. And Barry fought with ACORN for motor voter, long before his campaign just recently doled out $800K to the privileged organization. When more has come to light of ACORN's fraud, the 'messiah' has suggested he might even deny, ACORN.

As E.G. Robinson might have said to ACORN - where's your 'messiah' . . now?

I think Joe the Plumber understood. He earns the money. He figures - he earned the money. He knows there is a tax owed to government. He doesn't have to agree it must be a personal income tax, as opposed to a consumption tax. He knows a business might pay a tax, beyond all the taxes and fees demanded, otherwise. But a government that 'redistributes' income as an on-going policy is not a government Joe understands. It's not one Americans understand. It's the Soviet model. It leads to starvation and death. It leads to perpetually inaccurate reports. It leads to destruction, to poverty, to state of slaves who must only subsist. It is not freedom. The gulag must shortly follow. And Joe, I think, at some level, knows all of this.

Maybe a sufficient number of voters who understand it the same way will cast their vote. Maybe a sufficient number of fraudulent votes won't be counted, this time. Maybe.

There's one last, but important matter. Joe, it turns out, was an apprentice plumber. He was studying for his license. He had liens on his property, which perhaps has spurred him to try to consider making an offer on the business. No handouts. Just growing your way out, in order to pay off the bills. Oddly, Obama's own campaign treasurer has many liens against him, in an amount far exceeding Joe's. But that seems of no interest to anyone voting Obama. It would seem the situation was fine, until Joe dared to speak - in the United States of America. Now Toledo authorities are saying he needed to conclude his apprenticeship, last year, and needed to secure a license of his own, before now. Perhaps no one in the trade knew of this, I don't know. Now they wish to 'shut him down', entirely. This for daring to question a 'media' darling, the perfect 'messiah'. In fact, Joe filed his apprenticeship in NOV 2003. OH requires 5 yrs before even applying for a license. So the complaints from Toledo authorities sound very confused, indeed. But any politically based witch-hunt against any average citizen not previously in the public eye is not something we should tolerate - or else lose our freedoms out of fear.

And I wonder, will people remember his treatment, here? We all have secrets. We all are imperfect. There are forms we haven't sent that perhaps we didn't know that we needed to send, etc. Obama's own treasurer is immune from such investigation. But citizens are not. Joe may have done everything by the book, and the Toledo people might be the ones that are confused. So be it. But maybe there's other things to find out about Joe, or any one of us. And it's nobody's business. And in the privacy of the voting booth - will a sufficient number of citizens remember what happens if you 'cross' Barry? Will they remember that THEY . . and not free to speak in this country, either?  Will they prefer a politician in McCain, to a ruler in this 'messiah' about whom we really know so little?
