I have the displeasure of living in Congressman Paul Broun's district in Georgia. What the hell is wrong with this character? Just about everyone has heard of his contemptible remarks, comparing Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.
We are fortunate to live in a nation where all people have the right to voice their opinions via any media source they so choose. But there is a responsibility of elected officials including Mr. Broun, to curb their personal biases and bigotry in respect of their office and the constituents they represent. His fallacious comparison echoes a deep rooted antipathy still found in some Southerners. Though he is our elected official, Paul Broun does not represent my family.
President-elect Obama believes in volunteerism. His hope for a strong Peace Corps, separate from our Armed Forces is in no way congruous to a Nazi-like regime. His proposed plan for giving free college education for those who donate time within their communities is not Marxist.
Just because I'm repudiating the statements of a Republican congressman doesn't mean I'm a crazy left-wing advocate. I am an independent that believes that both parties have to come together to accomplish anything during the next four years. Future President Obama will have members of both parties in his cabinet, minus kooks like Paul Broun...Thank God!
