For us to believe that he has been a contributing member for 20 years and not have an inkling of Wrights beliefs is equivalent to saying that you’ve both watched CNN and read the New York Times for 20 years and was not aware that both are shills for the Dems. To say that strains credulity and one must be totally naïve to believe it.

Americans still don’t know Obama because the press has given him a total pass thus far and this Jeremiah Wright incident gives the American people a little insight to man who would be president. The layers of the Obama onion are starting to be peeled off and once that happens, the American people may not like what they smell inside.   

The Dems also have the so-called Super Delegates who are there solely because the Dems do not trust the American people.  Even registered Democrat voters can’t be trusted to make the right decision because the Dem establishment knows best and has appointed the king makers to oversee the election process just in case the ignorant electorate veers off the sponsored course. There are 842 appointed, non-elected, Super Delegates, 40% of the total delegates count. So if it’s a close race, as it is now, the Dem establishment can pick exactly whoever they want to pick regardless of the voice of the people. And the Dems claim be the party of the people - - - Hardy-Har-Har.

Then there is Hillary and Obama doing their best Abbott and Costello act, asking “Who’s on First?” Hillary, with amazing chutzpah that we have come to expect from the Clintons, has tossed out the insane possibility that you can get two for the price of one with Hillary, of course, on top of the ticket. Obama, incredulous as you might expect, dismissed the notion out of hand as well he should. There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that either one will serve as VP for the other.  Hillary may very well want to have Obama as her VP to bring to the ticket the obvious benefits. But Obama would have to be nuts to be her VP and have the Clinton baggage hanging over his head after her administration leaves office in 8 years. (God help us)

On the other hand, Obama, should he go on the win the nomination, would have to be committed to an institution for even considering Hillary as a VP.  There are not enough Secret Service Agents available to cover his back and knees from Clinton attacks and undercutting.  If Obama wins the nomination, the Clinton era is over. However, all of this does make for interesting viewing for the political junkie.

For 4 consecutive years, 48 straight months, even longer if you include the last 4 months of 2003, our economy expanded and jobs grew at an astounding rate. Look at the annual increases. Over 2 million new jobs were created in each of 2004-2006, although the rate of increase slowed in 2007 indicating that the economy is slowing. So for the last two months we have lost a total of 85,000 jobs and that has been given vastly more coverage than the 7,808,000 new jobs gained over the previous 4 years.  But we are still ahead by 7,723,000 jobs for the last 4 years.  

Is the focus on the job losses fair? Yes, it’s fair to note that we are in an economic slump but is it fair to say that the policies of the Bush Administration have been a failure? Absolutey not.  McCain has all statistics his disposal and I hope that he has the ability to effectively articulate them to ward off the Dem Doomsayers.   One thing for sure, both Dem candidates will raise taxes as soon as they possibly can on American wage earners, American business owners and corporations. That is not going to help create jobs in any way and most thinking people know that this will only reduce jobs and opportunities for employment.  

But WWOD? Obama said he would open up a dialogue with Ahmadinejad. At the same time Obama is sitting across the table with Mahmaoud, bombs could be going off in Iraq killing our soldiers. At the same time, Iran would be speeding their way toward nuclear bomb capability. But Obama thinks just meeting with our enemies would be a good thing.. Meanwhile the world sees the thug Ahmadinejad at the same table with the President of the United States and believes him to be on par with the leader of the most powerful country in the world. 

Another thing we could expect McCain to do is to honor our treaty commitments.  When a friend is in trouble, McCain will be there to help. If Israel is ever attacked, they can count on McCain to be there for them.  WWOD? Obama may not be so steadfast with our friends and neighbors. If Hamas begins a push to overrun Israel, will President Obama send arms support and stand guard off shore ready to aid our friend and ally? Doubtful. 

If Crazy Hugo in Venezuela decides in a fog of self-induced, drug related, stupor to invade Columbia, which has been trying to defend itself from the drug warlords that Chavez supports, we would have every reason to expect that McCain would honor our commitment to Columbia. In their time of need, McCain would use every means at his disposal to urge Chavez to stop and intercede if necessary. WWOD? Based on what Obama has said, he would sit down with this fiend to find out why Chavez FEELS the way he does and try to understand the underlying reasons for such behavior and try to get at the root cause of the issues. Meanwhile, Bogota becomes a suburb of Caracas.

The Dems have recited over and over how much they want to restore prestige that they claim has been lost since Bush took office.  The reason for this so-called drop in prestige is that we are going after Islamic extremism everywhere it is found.  Bush said that 911 changed everything and it certainly did. No longer are we going to be patsies for these thugs and we went on offense. McCain isn’t going to change this policy. He has said he plans to wipe out radical Islamic extremism. WWOD?  Obama says he will open the dialogue with all these America haters which will only serve to give them breathing room, giving them comfort that America will look the other way while they breed more hatred toward free people everywhere and threaten weaker democracies around the world.

These are only a few of the foreign policy issues on which McCain and Obama differ but it’s clear to me that the type of “Change” that Obama promotes is not in the best interest of this country.

Watching the Democrat debate tonight on ABC confirms to me that Liberals will say anything and do anything to get back into power. When I hear their responses to the question "what would you do in the event of nuclear attack on America" all of the candidates said that they would retaliate on any country that was responsible for the attack or harbored a terrorist organization that was responsible for the attack.

 After attacking George Bush for years for having made a huge mistake for starting the Iraq War, they now agree that any country that supports terrorism would be attacked. In other words, they all support the Bush Doctrine.  I've had enough of the Dems hypocrisy and their revisionist history.  When the US was attacked on 9-11, we immediately went after Afghanistan and we also then went after Saddam because he was a state sponsor of terror, harbored terrorists and financed terrorist activity. This is well documented. Bill Clinton himself called for regime change in Iraq in 1998.  So tonight we hear that these so-called Democrat "Agents of Change" would do exactly the same thing to any supporter of terrorism, regardless of whether or not the attackers were from that particular country.  What I heard the Dems say tonight is that it doesn’t matter which country the attackers were from, it doesn’t matter if the attackers even have a country, if you are a supporter of the terrorists , you are the enemy and will be attacked.   How can the media let them get away with such duplicity?  I think we all know the answer to that question. But thank goodness for Conservative Talk Radio, for Fox News Channel and legion of Bloggers that will diligently point out these inconsistencies.

A successful conclusion to the Iraq war.  For those on you on the Left who never seem to know what a successful conclusion is, it is one in which the Iraq is stabilized to the point that Iraq can control and govern themselves and keep the region safe from Islamic extremists allowing our troops to leave the region.

A Republican Surge in November maintaining the White House and regaining control of the House and Senate.

A serious effort to stop illegal immigration. Build the border fence, penalize employers who hire illegals to the detriment of our American workers and our sovereignty.

Continuation of the Bush Tax Cuts. Where would we be without them? The Dems want to repeal the tax cuts but repeal will result in a huge tax increase for the American workforce, will stunt economic growth and investment and increase unemployment. Other than that, repealing the tax cuts is a great idea.

Global Warming Theorists Debunked. Despite their claims of “consensus” on the issue, there is no consensus whatsoever about what is truly causing warming.  What is consensus is that the Left wants to demagogue this issue and damage the United States role as economic leader of the world. Has anyone seen Beijing lately? Of course not. You can’t see it because of all the pollution there. Do you think for one minute that China and India will ever change its ways and conform to Kyoto Treaty-type mandates? Not likely. All this does is put the United States at further disadvantage in world markets.  Likely result: lost investment, lost growth and lost jobs. 

and last but certainly not least...

A Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year for Everyone....even Liberals.

 

 

 For those on the Left who want to know why it is that the United States continues to wage war on the terrorists, today’s assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan is a classic example.  The Ron Paul, John Murtha and Dennis Kucinich types say that our continued presence in all parts of the world is what foments all the anger in the Islamist world, but how do you explain this today?  Yes, Pakistan is a key ally of the USA in the War on Terror but we have no presence there. We have no bases there.  Just because Pakistan is a US ally, does this mean that all US Allies are targets for the Islamic haters?  Many also say that US support for Israel is the root cause of the terror attacks but where exactly is the Israeli involvement in this murder?  There is no Israeli link here.

The bottom line is that the Islamic terrorists, through their corrupt ideology, want to spread Sharia Law to all parts of the globe and will seize on any opportunity to do so. This is exactly why the United States and its allies in the war on terror have to be alert at all times and seek out the pockets of terror and destroy them.  It’s a war that just may never end because this hateful ideology will never fully die but if "free people" rise up against it wherever it is found and crush it in its place, rather than hide in fear, it can be defeated.  Just another reason that the US needs to support efforts of those who desire to be free.  It's a matter of self defense.
