My oldest son and I are on opposite sides of the universe when it comes to politics. We don't often talk about it in any format, but this evening I got his email showing an invitation from Barack Obama's supporters to have dinner with Barack if he made a "donation" by a date certain. He said I could via this method get my "information direct from the horses mouth". Here is my response to my son which I sincerely hope doesn't cause us pain, but which I felt needed to be said:
Unfortunately, Mr. Obama is not a horse. Wish that he were because I
would ask him only how he can possibly expect me to believe a word he
says after declaring (a) he was unaware just how bad his pastor's
remarks were regarding this country (b) telling his pastor that he
might not be able to attend or participate in his swearing in ceremony
when he became Senator because of his "beliefs" and (c) his recent
statement that he would have quit his church if the pastor had not
already retired.
Fortunately, I am not deaf, dumb or blind due to any injury
physically, emotionally, financially or indoctrination by any
educational, religious or political expediency. I dislike them both
and with some small exception dislike McCain as well. We are at a very
severe crossroad in this country....tinfoil hatted leftist lunacy is to
avoided at all costs, at least until mature adults can retake their
party(?)!
It is more than unfortunate that the pendulum that began its swing
nearly 100 or so years ago and finally gotten America to this point
will take at least 25 years to return to a middle of normalcy and that
only because of the technology we have today. But, that is my take
which you do not believe in. That 's O.K. I love you and hope your
next 40-50 years are as you wish them to be.

P.S. Thanks for his email address, I'll send him a copy of this email.
Which I did!
