Ah. It's an "Obama is a socialist!!!!11!" letter. Also somebody who seems to think that the current world economic problems are the Democratic leadership's fault, despite the fact that it's a worldwide issue, and last I checked, Obama wasn't the President of Greece.
For what it's worth, Author Of Said E-Mail, I have the greatest respect for older people and their views, even when they don't agree with mine. I lived for many years with my grandfather, until he died in 2010 at the age of 101. He "won World War II" as well, and did a whole lot else besides. He was a good deal more conservative than I am, and I respected that. That doesn't mean I won't call nonsense when I see it; and conservative Americans who are worried about their freedom, and talk about needing to fight to get it back, are talking nonsense. If anybody's got a battle to fight, it's the liberals. It's 2012, and we're in danger of having an American President - the most powerful position on Earth - who believes that the Biblical story of Creation should be taken literally. (Again, since we only just got rid of one of those). That's not something to fight for, it's something to fight against, for all our sakes.
