This morning, local cable station CLTV had two short blurbs: one cites Chicago's Mayor Daley as simply stating McCain will upset chances of Chicago getting the 2016 Olympics (the one to be held after next two Presidential terms), no further talk such as why or how, so one must conclude whatever McCain campaigns on will be rejected by the Olympic Committee; and the other news blurb was that Chicago Roman Catholic Archdiocese Cardinal George says his phones are showing neck-and-neck between parishoners wondering why Father Pfleger attacks Caucasians and parishoners absolutely adoring him for doing so...again, that's the Cardinal's word, and he believes that there is not much of a growth in the unchurched generally, diminution in USA Catholic Church memberships, or an ability for a local Catholic enclave to be influenced by eminent domain or otherwise by those handing out State faith funds.

 

As to Daley's alleged remark: is the point that anything we've seen from Democrats, from corruption convictions to mass immigration to high costs to loss of jobs and farms without concern by Democrats to high salaries of elected officials to talking as long as it takes with any despot/terrorist/tyrant/bad economic manager so the "right folks" can continue such "internationalism", is actually in support of getting the 2016 Olymics, and further that said Games will redeem the democracies and commerce and dignity of the globe's people?

 

If so, how? Thus far, all such internationalism seems to breed are high costs in the USA for oil, gas, healthcare, food, and housing, together with what Democrats must mean would be "temporary" eight-year Socialism and nationalization of human and other resources can meet the demand of endless mass immigration without care for costs, since Democrats would ration ala old Communists; also, if all we and all immigrants and everyday folks abroad do is leave the nice terrorists/genociders/tyrants/despots/bad economic managers alone and keep moving masses deemed "out of round" by such "leaders" into the West and North America, um...who's going to HAVE what money by 2016, how much has to be given up for how long by how many, and how will Chicago getting the Olympics in 2016 then at least zero out all costs thereto attendant for Chicago, Illinois, the United States, and everyone else? In fairness, I'm sure Mayor Daley would think that much out and IF he said that McCain will upset chances Daley himself would have ready facts for study.

 

As to the alleged remarks of Cardinal George: considering the within foregoing costs if that's what the Olympic Committee insists upon,  considering most nationals and immigrants already aren't too satisfied with such gameplan, considering USA nationals would have to be subject to State by State/County by County/Town by Town say-so manipulations/lockups/eminent domains/asset freezing under HR 1955 or clone(s) thereof, with all immigrants then under the same disabilities due to PATRIOT/FISA/287g and clone(s) thereof, and considering across America no manifest contest between Caucasians and non-Caucasian nationals or immigrants re "whites don't want that/non-whites BETTER get that" seems in everyday evidence or common knowledge, for these reasons perhaps the Cardinal if so speaking meant his Church needs to draw more social relevance to itself than it currently has (and dollars into those baskets).

 

Now, McCain indeed appears against such drabness as within foregoing speculated. Maybe the Cardinal and Daley mean something else or might be surprised to hear they said anything like that; but one thing is sure...in an age of no-trail voting, one generally has to consider that when the only evidence of "success", "progress", "race wars", or anything else...which should be apparent without needing to be told...is the opinion of a teleprompter reader, pundit, clergy or politician, could there possibly be anything else they'd rather not talk about?

 

In other words, let's not let hype pass for an examination of what then truly needs fixing and what doesn't in terms of traditional election year issues.
