Principles vs. Politics
By J.B. Williams

At a time when American voters have been sold the bill of goods known as "Democratic Socialism," the nanny state promises to solve personal problems at the expense of freedom and liberty for the 50% of Americans who pay taxes, and conservatives find themselves caught in the crossfire of a centrist campaign season.
What happens next may decide the foreseeable future of a nation on the brink of the worst possible kind of "change."
Centrist McCain
Conservatives are angry over McCain's less than conservative positions on numerous issues important to conservative voters. But running against the most extreme left member of the Senate, Barack Obama, they can expect McCain to continue his appeal to liberal Democrats, namely those who supported Hillary Clinton in the DNC primaries.
To win, McCain must carry most Republicans and some Democrats this fall. In order to do that, he must run a campaign that appeals to the centrists in both camps. This is where the rubber meets the road for conservatives, as McCain swaps conservative principles and values for political expediency, at a time when many conservatives are already fed up with political expediency over conservative principles.
Leftist Obama
No member of Congress has a more solid record of opposing all American principles and values. Barack Obama is without doubt the most unqualified candidate ever to seek the Oval Office and even potential running mate Hillary Clinton has spent the last year and a half pointing that out to Democrat voters. But even worse, he is without question the most anti-American candidate to ever seek the most powerful office in the free world.
Under duress from party powers, Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign. But she has not yet ended her candidacy, nor has she released her hard earned delegates to the Obama camp. She has made it very clear that she would like to be the vice presidential running mate, just in case Obama has an untimely Vince Foster moment, and maintaining her bargaining chips may help her in that effort.
But even an Obama-Clinton ticket may be more nightmare than dream.
Dream or Nightmare?
Symbolism over substance has been the hallmark of liberalism for decades. Some liberals are far more concerned with "making history" than with doing something in the interest of freedom and liberty for future generations. What better opportunity than to elect the nations first "black" (half black) president and "female" (feminazi) vice president all in one sweep?
But most liberals are just looking for the best leftist to represent their march towards democratic socialism, and both Obama and Clinton are field generals of the socialist revolution in America. Combined, they really do represent a "dream ticket" for American socialists.
That means that they also represent a "nightmare" for every other American, who still believes in personal freedom, individual liberty, self-determination and the unalienable right to Life itself.
