At his very first campaign stop after the Democrat convention, Barack Obama told a large crowd in the small town of Beaver, Pennsylavnia that he wants to "fundamentally change America."Wow.
I'm always and all for reformed-minded change, but "fundamental change?" What does that mean? Do you think the fundamentals of American life -- which I would see as being enshrined in the United States Constitution -- need changing? Keep in mind, Barack Obama has never presented himself as a reformer -- he is an innovator. He seeks the reinvention of the political and social contracts that are the hallmarks of American life. Just a few of the things Obama wants:
* "Economic justice" through government-engineered redistribution of wealth
* Judges on the federal bench who decide cases not based on law but on their "empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old.”
* The interpretation of the Constitution as a "living document," which means finding ways to make the Constitution say what Barack Obama wants to hear.
We need reform, not innovation. Senator Obama, keep your hands off our fundamentals.
