McCain-Palin Rally Incites Fear, hatred, and confusion; attendees believe Obama is a Terrorist (VIDEO)

The commentary contained within the video may or may not shock you, depending on what your expectations are of the intelligence level of the average McCain-Palin supporter.I certainly don't like to think this particular group of supporters' opinions represent the majority of supporters' views but it is certainly of interest to average Americans everywhere watching this election unfold and witness how far astray some people have gone in their convictions (on both sides). This particular video only highlights one of the obvious problems. Some people seem genuinely confused, and I understand their plight, but others have now turned hostile and I don't see how anyone can view the McCain-Palin campaign as not intentionally inciting fear and raw hatred, rather than curiosity and respect within the political process. They've mentally mollested their supporters and heavily polluted these political waters, which have grown more turbulent in recent weeks as we lead head first into the election next month. I proclaim the McCain-Palin campaign, along with their supporters have now gone into full kamikaze mode.Frightening to some, entertaining to others, but one thing I can assure you is that this is not the way it should be going. It just isn't right.

Turkish President: US Must Share Power in New World Order

Days after Russia scored a stunning geopolitical victory in the Caucasus, The President of Turkey said he saw a new multipolar world emerging from the wreckage of war. The conflict in Georgia, Gül asserted, showed that the United States could no longer shape global politics on its own, and should begin sharing power with other countries.

========C&S Comment=========

New World Order, something of interest and rarely spoken about in public between governing officials and the citizens is always a topic of interest here. Unfortunately,most people around the world don't know and/or don't care about NWO because it is frequently labeled as a myth, reserved only for people with tin foil hats deprived of their medication etc etc.What is the rationale behind a militaristically instilled NWO and the individuals who insist it is nothing to worry about?Problematic times, my friends, but there are solutions to ensure we need not worry. Though concern and critical observance is warranted, it's important to always remain practical when expressing concerns. Do not allow fear to take control.
