Friends,

President-elect Barack Obama, in his acceptance speech, called for national unity. Senator McCain also called for the nation to support the new president. These messages are the exact opposite of the Democratic approach to the election of President Bush. Instead, they provided the nation, and the media with eight years of Bush-bashing, character assassinating, name calling insults and resistance.

But why should conservatives be the only ones to compromise in order to achieve national unity? Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi propose to censor the conservative message on radio - the only place its allowed. They propose to override all state parental consent and other abortion regulations with the "Freedom of Choice Act." They propose to nationalize gay marriage by repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act. They propose to end the 401K tax deduction and reduce the defense budget by 25 percent. They also propose to eliminate the secret ballot in union elections. If Obama truly wants to end partisan politics and unify the country, he needs to "cool it" on his divisive, extremist proposals and work on fixing the economy.
