A Vain BeginningBy Alan Keyes -excerpt- Obama purports to encourage responsibility and selfless service, yet stands in the vanguard of the movement that claims the right to sacrifice innocent human lives on the altar of this generation's lust for pleasure and power. He promises huge increases in government spending so that politicians can claim to address today's crises, while they pillage the wealth and hopes of the next and future generations. Obama purports to respect the sacrifices of those who risk and give their lives for liberty, yet promotes a view of "progress" that relies on concentrating power in the hands of government with no regard for the moral and Constitutional discipline needed to preserve the rights of individuals, the authority of parents, the integrity of family; and needed as well to prevent tyranny, including the tyranny of the majority. He purports to respect the critical role of the people themselves in the development of America's economic strength, yet advocates policies that will destroy the economic self-sufficiency of families, businesses and private associations, making of them all dependent wage slaves or appendages of government power.
