Hi Dan Smith:
My name is John Jenkins. I am retired from Mead Corporation, Dayton Ohio and IBM, Atlanta GA. My wife and I live in Gatlinburg. We moved here in 1998 from Ohio.
I agree with Ron Paul, voted for George Bush, John McCain, Ross Perot and George Wallace. I did not agree with everything George Wallace did but I liked the idea of a governor doing what his constituents wanted regardless of what the Federal government said. It was a wasted vote but I knew it and did not care. I liked Ross Perot due to his attack on Iran when he went for his employees. I knew his business EDS and hope I could see him work with congress. John McCain was not Obama. Ron Paul could not win the election. George was not Al.
Reference your commentary; Monday March 30…Some try to destroy our rights.
During the recent election we saw where we have a lot of complainers. Examples: conservatives who did not go full out to get John McCain elected proved they are not conservative just complainers. John McCain may not be "a" conservative; he is more like one than Obama, same thing with Obama. Once Hillary was out of the running any of her supporters who did not go full out for Obama showed themselves to be complainers not liberals or whatever Hillary stands for.
That is where I am coming from.
The MIAC you referenced is similar to racial profiling and apparently you now know how it is to be profiled. What the MIAC says is probably true. Criminals like Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph probably fit the MIAC profile. But what it fails to say is others such as yourself who also fit the profile are not, that is America. Citizens have pictures of Che Guevara and Malcolm X but do not advocate the overthrow of government. I like bumper stickers. There is a song with the title I got the bird from a gray hair old lady with a bumper sticker that said Honk if you Love Jesus. The writer of the song said he saw the sticker, honked and the driver gave him the finger.
You asked, who would have thought our country would have fallen apart like this. You should have asked me, I would have told you. When Caucasian women stopped having children while minorities continue to have tribes the country was doomed; when educated people stopped having children while the uneducated continued to multiply the country was doomed; when the working class stopped having children while welfare recipients grow exponentially the country was doomed; when Christians stopped having children while non-Christians continue to be fruitful and multiply the country was doomed; when NAFTA allowed corporations to move jobs offshore while giving their senior management huge bonuses for cost cutting and their corporations tax breaks the country was doomed; when NAFTA destroyed the middle class the country was doomed; when elected officials and corporate officers continue to play musical chairs the country was doomed.
But one other group is part of the problem. Voters who vote for third party candidates in a lame attempt to make a meaningless point take possibly decisive votes away from a viable candidate. John McCain is closer to Ron Paul than Barack Obama, though not much closer, a vote for Ron Paul was a vote for Barack Obama. As when Ralph Nader took votes from Al Gore. Third party candidates are ruining the system.
Take the sticker off, no one cares if you liked Ron Paul. Stop hanging on the past. No matter the reason Obama is the man and we are all going to pay for people trying to make a statement by voting for candidates who cannot win. Your bumper sticker identifies you as one of the people who made Obama president.
As you say not everyone will agree with you I am not technically disagreeing just suggesting possible solutions to the problems you write about.
