Historians tell us that Democratic forms of government through the ages have had a life span of around 200 years. I sense that our country is on the threshold of its demise as a Democracy. Why do I say this?

Consider the electioneering process we are now observing. I see a person, Barack Obama, who was unknown a couple years ago, mesmerizing people with his glib tongue and promising them everything. This is a man who I consider the epitome of deceit.

He claims to be an African-American, which is not so. His ancestors did not come to this country in slave ships. His father actually was an African-Arab Muslim from Kenya. He plays down his heritage while electioneering, which I consider deceitful. Most people are proud of their origin and are not ashamed to say so.

He claims to be a Christian and refers to his membership in Trinity Church in Chicago, which he attended for some 20-plus years. It is common knowledge that the pastor of this church, every Sunday, preached a deep hatred for our country. Barack Obama said he was not influenced by the sermons preached by this pastor. This is pure deceit. A person does not listen to somebody for 20-plus years unless he agrees to what is being said.

Listening to all he says he will do and his deceitfulness tells me he will lead our country into chaos and its demise.
