John McCain v. America
Senator John McCain (R-Az.) crossed a line in a recent response to Don Imus. Without Imus asking about it, McCain responded to a critics attack on his campaign finance reform stance, "I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."
Enough with all that, "Protect and defend the Constitution" stuff he swears to every six years. Oaths are cheap. We just need a government where the trains run on time. McCain believes the problem with our government is found in citizens expressing their viewpoints 30-60 days before an election.
McCain's cavalier attitude towards our constitutional guarantee of free speech is the latest in a series of events this year that raise questions as to his fitness for the presidency. With all he does, McCain has an air of self-righteous arrogance. Everything he proposes is about reform, and woe to the man or woman who stands in the way of reform. McCain will not let peons in the Senate or among the American people stand against him. In a crystallizing moment in 2000, McCain proclaimed that he was "Luke Skywalker trying to get out of the death star." He said everyone was out to get him, but that "We're going to kill them. We're going to win this election."

John McCain is exactly the lunatic pol upon whom so many cautionary tales in politics are based. In McCain, we have the makings of a destructive, fascist despot who would never let constraints on tyranny be an impediment to imposing his view of the future on all of America. Members of the press should be ashamed of their craven reinforcement of McCain's mania, all in the name of creating a Republican house divided against itself. Because a complete incomprehension of causality is one of the hallmarks of the American liberal media, we can expect those who have fed his ego to blink in shocked wonder when they find themselves being frog-marched off to the firing squad for the crime of becoming an impediment to the McCain vision.
