Americans against Obama
I recently came across a website named “Americans against Obama” and a slew of others just like it which left me feeling very sad and discouraged.
I can’t believe the radical political views shared by some Americans and the countless unsubstantiated, agenda driven articles and statements published on these sites.
It seems like just yesterday that we watched in astonishment as the worst U.S. president the world has ever known was somehow re-elected to a second term in office.
Now, some of the same American people who voted Bush back into office are also comparing Obama to Hitler and I for one am amazed and saddened by how quickly and easily the average American can be swayed and manipulated by mere fabrications and conspiracy theories. Theories carefully developed by the opposition and aimed with precision at the average uneducated American.
Today’s techno politics dictates the recruitment of the uneducated majority; a successful strategy that has proven victorious at every level. Read the articles on this and similar web sites and the target audience becomes painfully obvious.
The danger and effectiveness of this tactic lays in the fact that uneducated people don’t question what they read or what they are told. They instead, tell other often uneducated people what they know and soon the word spreads quickly and exponentially, often capable of causing more damage to an individual or group than any form of physical violence ever could.

Far fetched and paranoid? Don’t rush to judgment! Think it through and keep in mind that just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean that they're not out to get you!

American Healthcare
I can’t believe the scare ads that I see on American television depicting the Canadian health care system as a horror story and telling viewers that Obama’s strategy on health care is aimed at crippling America. It’s truly laughable when as a Canadian; I know that although not perfect, we have one of the best health care systems in the world.
Canada’s health care structure is a huge component of why Canada is constantly rated one of the top 5 nations in the world as far as quality of life is concerned while the United States usually ranks 14th or lower.
Everyone in Canada is entitled to free healthcare based on priority and if you want a minor or non life threatening condition treated right away, there are also plenty of private clinics available; which incidentally are far less expensive than the average American hospital. I’m sorry but hospitals should not be business organizations driving to maximize profits based on demand!
I know plenty of Americans who haven’t been able to get a check up or have blood work done in over a decade because they simply can’t afford it. That doesn’t happen here yet the anti Obama campaigns depict Canada as a horror story and sadly enough, the average uneducated Joe will believe it.

H1N1 Conspiracy
We live in paranoid times here in North America especially since 9/11 with trust in our governments and fellow man being at an all time low. Why then has no one thought the obvious concerning the H1N1 virus?
Years ago terrorists succeeded in attacking and devastating us with thousands of casualties at a time when we couldn’t have felt more invincible as most of us helplessly watched it all unfold on live television in disbelief; surrealism quickly giving way to a new cold reality.
Since then we’ve been on high alert and have managed to periodically dismantle countless would be terrorists before they could unleash their destructive wrath upon us. But make no mistake; there is an enemy out there who by any means possible, wants us all dead!
We watch TV shows like “24” depicting corrupt officials and foreign diplomats conspiring to import weapons of mass destruction and planning a nuclear Holocaust at the core of a mass populace.
In reality, International intelligence agencies warn us of possible and probable lethal contamination attempts on our water supplies capable of rendering millions of casualties and suggest the implementation of higher security standards and increased awareness concerning chemical and biological warfare.
With these immanent threats upon us coupled with the flagrant corruption, ignorance and incompetence regularly displayed by our governing bodies and community leaders, why are we the people, not questioning the need for the H1N1 vaccine?
