The people of the nation are facing problems that if not solved, will result in the total destruction of freedom from government and the corresponding cessation of liberty. The election in November 2008 will bring a tipping point from which the nation can’t escape no matter which candidate is elected. The only difference between them is one is represented by a donkey and the other one is an elephant. The former will kick us to pieces with more strangling laws of every type and the latter is going to sit on us with similar laws, which will keep us from getting out from under the weight of government. Every program the two candidates propose is patently unconstitutional. The seventeen limits on government are foreign to both Obama and McCain.

Business and their profits are enemies to both of them. Each proposes the same solutions but from differing angles, the same solutions which have gotten us into this mess. They both have the ignorant notion that profits of companies should be limited and that anything over that limit imposed by politicians will be turned over to the government. Think for a moment of that stupidity. The minimum wage law forces companies to pay wages that many can’t afford to pay and if a company makes too much, they take the money away. Now that is brilliant thinking.

The current discussion is about the high price of gasoline with oil companies taking the brunt of the criticism, being targeted with a scheme to take their profits. Never mind that the smallest amount of profit a company earns is from gasoline sales. Obama said, "I'll make oil companies like Exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits, and we'll use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills."  It should be understood that he has no constitutional authority to make anyone do anything. However, if he is elected and the membership increases for Democrats in both houses of Congress, the people of this nation will see first hand the cruel whip of a dictator and the tyranny that comes with it. If he and Congress can do that to “Big Oil” then they can do that to any business that incurs their wrath.

John McCain has the same unconstitutional notions as Obama. Like Obama, he doesn’t understand the role of constitutional government, the function of business in general and the work of the oil companies in particular, which isn’t to produce revenue for the government spending machine. He doesn’t speak quite like Obama, but it is the same approach with different words. "The point is, oil companies have got to be more participatory in alternate energy, in sharing their profits in a variety of ways, and there is very strong and justifiable emotion about their profits," McCain said. (He proposes other laws against business in general which are no better, but that is a matter for another day.)

When the Senate debated a tax on oil companies, neither McCain nor Obama    voted for the bill, But both presumed presidential candidates support a windfall profits tax. Do you need any more proof that there is no difference between them and their understanding of constitutional limits on government? They want the same failed policies to continue.

Both are on record for being against drilling in ANWR. McCain says that limited drilling can be done on the coast, but Obama doesn’t want any drilling anywhere. When will the people of this nation stand up to these two fools and the clowns in Congress and demand that they stop the tyranny against business and liberty in general? It is obvious our problems are many because we have no one that will come forth with the needed constitutional leadership. Puck said, “What fools these mortals be.” In Sorting It Out, the truth is there are two fools running for President, and don’t forget lurking in the wings, Hillary makes three.
