Why Nominate A Sure Looser?

Much to my mortification and chagrin, it appears that the nomination process of the Republicans is headed toward John McCain. The real Conservatives have left the race, and it is left to Romney to defrock McCain.

My problem with McCain is he has been too cozy with the leftist Democrats. His co-sponsorship of four significant Democratic Bills that cut off free speech, limited campaign contributions, called for amnesty for illegals, called for bowing to Global warming zealots and assisted Clinton and John Kerry in the lifting of the trade embargo of Communist Vietnam.

Then there is the fact that he is an open target for a Democrat "swift boat" attack on his POW status. Some ex-POWs have even called him the Manchurian Candidate!

Senator McCain allegedly collaborated with the Vietnamese enemy while in a POW camp in Vietnam. This may or may not be true. I don't question his patriotism, but some will!

In addition he has been collaborating with the leaders of the Mexican Reconquista movement for some time. Among other outrages, he was the keynote speaker at the 2004 annual conference of the National Council of La Raza. He told the biased racist crowd: “It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation.”

He then kept his word to the Mexican illegals by teaming up with the grand daddy of Liberals,Ted Kennedy, to sponsor
the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act", S. 1033, better known as the Kennedy-McCain bill after its two principal sponsors. This is nothing less than Amnesty Legislation on a massive, historically unprecedented scale.

If enacted, S.1033, the immigration crisis America faces today, because all previous amnesties have failed to stop and actually encouraged greater levels of illegal immigration, illegal population will grow exponentially.

Fortunately the House blocked passage, but with McCain in the White House(God forbid) you can be certain it will pass the next time, and we will open the flood gates to illegals!

S.1033 incorporates the worst features of every failed amnesty program since 1986, but would allow in numbers of illegals greater than all the illegal and legal aliens who entered the U.S. in the past fifteen years combined. Source:FAIR

My choice for the nomination of President, Romney, had this to say during the recent Florida campaign:

"The McCain Feingold Bill is nothing more than a liberal pandering to the "Global Warming" zealots and would cause serious damage to our economy. McCain-Lieberman climate bill would add an extra 1,000 dollars to the average Florida homeowner’s energy bill without putting restrictions on other countries sending companies and jobs overseas". The idea of America saying we are going to unilaterally but a huge burden on ourselves and hope China follows, is simply out of touch with how the world works. “ ----- Source: FoxNews.com

Try finding a shoe or shirt used for sports that doesn't have a Fujian of China, Vietnam or Pakistan label! This bill would only put more baggage on an already over taxed business structure here in the United States.

The final and perhaps the most important reason I think McCain is a bad choice. The Main Stream media, including the granddaddy Liberal rag New York Times", is promoting McCain!

I am not a super intelligent person, but I am very discerning of the things that happen around me. The reason I believe the Left wing Media is promoting McCain now, is because they know what I know and probably a lot more dirt they can dish out to defeat him in the 2008 Presidential election. They view him as a weak candidate.

Mark my words. The minute the Party conventions are over the Media will start it's destruction campaign on McCain, and the DEMOCRAT NOMINEE WILL WIN IN A LAND SLIDE!

Time To Recognize Irans Threat

Newspapers, television and the internet are full of stories about Super Tuesday. No where can you find a story that should make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I had to find it in the Bruni Times internet site.

IRAN yesterday fired a rocket into space to mark the opening of its first space centre, hailing the base's inauguration as a step forward in its battle against Western dominance. The space center, located in the remote desert of northern Iran, will be used to launch Iran's first home-produced satellite "Omid" (Hope) in May or June this year, officials said."We witness today that Iran has taken its first step in space, precisely and with awareness," declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he gave the order for the rocket's launch."The evil and dominant system's key instrument is humiliating people and nations by making them think that they are incapable," he said in a reference to the West.

The opening of the space center comes as Iran has been announcing its progress in its nuclear program, which President Bush and our allies fear could be used to make atomic weapons.

The emphasis on Iran's development of its own domestic space technology is highly reminiscent of its insistence on developing its nuclear capabilities, which has led it into a four-year standoff with the West.

Ahmadinejad has made Iran's scientific development one of the main themes of his presidency."No power can overcome the Iranian nation's will," said Ahmadinejad.

Until two years ago, the United States' export controls over most satellites tightly proscribed what information could be shared. But in 1996, President Clinton overruled Secretary of State Warren Christopher and transferred export controls on satellites from the State Department to the Commerce Department, which has less rigorous restrictions on sharing sensitive technology. And the flood gates were opened! source: New York Times

No one from satellite makers to Congress to the White House can say for sure what China has actually done with information passed along. So the question roiling Capitol Hill this week is whether Mr. Clinton's decision to make it easier to export satellites to China for launching has jeopardized United States national security. This issue is of particular note since China has like Russia contributed experts and materials to Iran for the development of their space program and rocket arsenal! New York Times

As in the case of its nuclear and long-range missile programs, Iran turned to countries which assisted her in developing its military capability in the past including Russia, China and North Korea. These countries are currently involved at different levels in the Iranian space program and in particular in the development of the booster which will probably be a derivative of the Shihab ballistic missile.

Despite the fact that Israel News Agency reported a year ago on Feb. 27, 2007, that An Israel security official had told the Israel News Agency that the recent launch of a missile from Iran into space illustrated a direct threat to both Europe's and US national security. Where was this story in our Liberal Press?
On February 25, Iran launched a missile reaching space. "Iran has successfully launched its first space missile made by Iranian scientists," the head of Iran's aerospace research center, Mohsen Bahrami, was quoted as saying. On Saturday, Iran Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said Iran was planning to build a satellite and launcher".
"Iran has no plans to land a man on the moon," Col. Adam an Israeli security source told the INA. "The same technology is used to build intercontinental ballistic missiles. This Iran space launch is not a threat to Israel. The Iranians need not reach a space orbit to attack Israel, but such a high orbit would be needed to deliver a nuclear payload into Europe or the US."!!!!

History is about to repeat itself. During the 1930's the Nazi war machine was secretly building the V-2 rocket while the World looked on or occupied themselves with talk,talk, talk with Hitler.

Iran is no different than Nazi Germany. The Nazis built up an army, resources and created the V-2 rocket. The V-2 was the first man-made object launched into space, during test flights it reached an altitude of 189 km (117 miles) in 1944. "While Germany was putting the finishing touches to the V-2 which was eventually used against Britain, the world stood by wanting to talk. Now we have Iran repeating history, declaring to "wipe Israel off the map" while planting bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, one which nearly killed US Vice President Cherney during his visit there.

I believe we and our European allies have two options once the American people wake up to the threat. We can attack Iran and suffer the consequencces of a retaliatory attack using chemical weapons by not only Iran but their "henchmen" Syria. Or we can immediately place severe sanctions against Iran and any country(aka Russia and China) that is aiding in the development of their nuclear weapon capability.

The Iranians are not threatening to use nuclear weapons once they get the weapons they deny they are making. They are promising us "Infidels" that they will use them against the "great satan"when they have developed them. Will we wait until we like London witness the massive loss of life here at home or in one of our Alled Countries?

SCAM's Aid And Abet Illegals

It appears that we have developed into a generation of people who were brought up by sixties radicals that preached to their children "to question authority", and "if it feels good, do it!" The result has been a secular population that distrusts authority , the military and the rule of law.
This attitude is manifest in the lack of political discussion, by candidates for the Presidential nomination, about the issue of illegal immigration.
Presently we have between 20 and 30 million illegals in the United States. Close to 65% are illegals from Mexico who crossed into the USA through wide open borders , and are living free from prosecution for their illegal act. Yes, there have been a few "round ups" and well publicized raids on a few employers of illegals. But most of them a have been booked and released. Never to return to Court much less be deported.
The people behind the support for this horde of law breakers are Socialists, Communists, Anarchists and Marxists who detest our Constitution, which they profess is just after all a piece of paper!
The Constitution did not grant illegals any rights!
The very first sentence of the Constitution (often referred to as the Preamble) clearly states: “We the People of the United States, in Order to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” It doesn’t say “in Order to bestow various rights and privileges on aliens and their Posterity” Illegals are law breakers not poor individuals to be aide and abetted.
Unfortunately there are those who believe it is not only O.K. to aid and abet these felons, but their religious duty to do it.
Kim Bobo is one such person. A labor activist who has been in the news for 30 years operating in such areas as the UAW and United Mine workers strikes. Now she has taken up the mantle of illegals with the organization of "The National Interfaith Worker Justice Organization". This group is opening "sanctuaries(in direct violation of Federal Law) in 28 cities around the United States to hide illegals. They have their "cells" in L.A., N.Y. , Seattle and San Diego operating now.
Her quest includes not only sanctuary, but wants Our minimum wage laws to apply to illegals as well. Taking into account that as illegals they have NO rights afforded them by the Constitution, she is advocating the absurd to an already felonious action of aiding and abetting a criminal.
Only a government that believes in the One World Orderwould stand by and do nothing when an organization like her's commits a felony each time they assist an illegal in avoiding detection and apprehension. The penalty for aiding and abetting is up to 5 years in jail. The very least a government that cares about it's legal citizens should do is take away this organizations tax exempt status! But then there are members of the Council of Foreign Relations that predict that by 2010 we will abolish our borders!
These people are not Christians following Jesus teachings, they are people who with their leftist philosophies have invaded religions with their Marxist ideas. Many if not all were part of Ms. Bobo's "Lets Dump Bush" campaign, and many are members of the "Young Peoples Socialist League", an arm of the American Socialist Workers Party here in the USA.
The disturbing thing to this blogger, are the number of Catholic leaders who have joined in the fight for illegals. Many priests have opened their doors to feed and hide the illegals, and Cardinal Mahoney publicly opposed HR 4437, a Congressional bill which would force the government to closed the sieve that we call our border.
Apparently Cardinal Mahony and the US Bishops hadn't read the Pope's Encyclical from Christmas 2005 where Pope Benedict XVI clearly ordered the Church to stay out of politics. The call by Mahony to engage in politics is in disobeyance of the Pope's Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est of 12/25/05 where he states: "Fundamental to Christianity is the distinction between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God . . . The just ordering of society and the State is a central responsibility of politics . . . The Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible . . . The direct duty to work for a just ordering of society, on the other hand, is proper to the lay faithful. As citizens of the State, they are called to take part in public life in a personal capacity."
Those who can and do read, must realize the riots that have happened in Holland, France and Great Britain by aliens can happen here if the rule of law is not enforced. Yet no leader in the race for the White House has an illegal alien plank in his platform, God help US!

Why Is The Holocaust the Only Genocide for media?

I do not doubt for a minute that Nazi Germany under Hitler, Himmler and Goebels commited the murder of, depending on whom you use as your reference, 1.5 million to 6.5 million people in the seven Nazi death camps. Of this numer the largest proportion was Jews. There also were Catholics, gypsies, homosexuals and undesireables of any description also murdered.
The question I have is why does the media, especially the Movie industry and the History channel on television, keep showing features of the Nazi genocide, but you never see documentaries about the genocides commited by people like Joseph Stalin, Mao, PolPot or the Japanese.

To illustrate the enormity of the genocides that are ignored I have include some statistics gathered from the internet.
Rummel, 1990: 61,911,000 democides in the USSR 1917-87, of which 51,755,000 occurred during the Stalin years.But first a deffinition of Democide: "Democide is a term coined by political scientist R. J. Rummel for "the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder". Rummel created the term as an extended concept to include forms of government murder that are not covered by the legal definition of genocide, and it has found currency among other scholars".
In Russia under Stalin and Lenin the following murders are calculated.
1923-29: 2,200,000 (plus 1M non-democidal famine deaths)
1929-39: 15,785,000 (plus 2M non-democidal famine)
1939-45: 18,157,000
1946-54: 15,613,000 (plus 333,000 non-democidal famine)
TOTAL: 51,755,000 democides and 3,333,000 non-demo. famine
William Cockerham, Health and Social Change in Russia and Eastern Europe: 50M+
Robert J.Rummel, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and author of "Lethal Politics" has this to say about Stalin's genocide: "I calculate that the Communist regime, 1917-1987, murdered about 62,000,000 people, around 55,000,000 of them citizens. As for Stalin, I calculate that Stalin murdered about 43,000,000 citizens and foreigners. Therefore, the usual estimate of 20 million killed in Soviet democide is far off for the Soviet Union per se, and even less than half of the total Stalin alone murdered."

Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr:Has estimated that between 51 and 60 million Russians were murdered.
A consensus of scholars seems to be forming around a death toll of 20 million. This would adequately account for all documented killings without straining credence, as all numbers are estimates.
In "The Great Terror" (1969), Robert Conquest suggested that the overall death toll was 20 million at minimum -- and very likely 50% higher, or 30 million.

Rummel blames the Japanese for 5,964,000 democides
POWs: 539,000 (400,000 Chinese)
Forced Labor: 1,010,000 (142,000 Chinese)
Massacres: 3,608,000 (2,850,000 Chinese)
Bombing/CB warfare: 558,000 (all Chinese)
Imposed Famine: 250,000 (none in China)
Rummel also estimates that General/Prime Minister Tojo Hideki was responsible for a lifetime total of 3,990,000 democides.

People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975): murdered 40, 000 000 Agence France Press (25 Sept. 1999) citing at length from Courtois, Stephane, Le Livre Noir du Communism:
Rural purges, 1946-49: 2-5M deaths
Urban purges, 1950-57: 1M
Great Leap Forward: 20-43M
Cultural Revolution: 2-7M
Labor Camps: 20M
Tibet: 0.6-1.2M
TOTAL: 44.5 to 72M source: Twentieth Century Atlas and the
Guinness Book of World Records:
Although nowadays they don't come right out and declare Mao to be the "Top Dog" in the Mass Killings category, earlier editions (such as 1978) did, and they cited sources which are similar, but not identical, to the Glaser & Possony sources:
On 7 Apr. 1969 the Soviet government radio reported that 26,300,000 people were killed in China, 1949-65.
In April 1971 the cabinet of the government of Taiwan reported 39,940,000 deaths for the years 1949-69.
The Walker Report lists: between 32,2500,000 and 61,700,000 killed.

With these kind of numbers there can only be one reason why Hollwood and their ilk prefer to pound away at the Germans. They are all subliminaly if not actually pro-Communist, and all the numbers in the world would not change their position that Fascism is the great threat not "misapplied" Communism!

Can We Afford Another Crooked President?

In today's New York Times the following scandal has been revealed.

"Late on Sept. 6, 2005, a private MD-87 jet plane carrying the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra touched down in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Several hundred miles to the west a fortune awaited: highly coveted deposits of uranium that could fuel nuclear reactors around the world. And Mr. Giustra was in hot pursuit of an exclusive deal to tap them. Kazakhstan has 1/5 th of the Worlds Uranium deposits and it is mined by Kazatomprom.

Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, with a horrible human rights record. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton. It is also worth mention that he also is a board member of "international Crisis Group" that has George Soros and Wesley Clark as members.

Within two days, corporate records show that Mr. Giustra also came up a winner when his company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom. Mr.Giustra's Canadian Mining Company UrAsia produces about 1,8-million pounds of uranium a year and plans to accelerate the development of two other uranium mines in Kazakhstan. It didn't hurt his cause that the night they arrived they had dinner at the palatial home of the President of Kazakhstan!

Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges".

This is just one more financial deal that the Clinton's are or were involved in that smell to high heaven of corruption and quasi-legal kick backs.

If Senator Clinton is running on her experience in the White House when husband Bill was President. She also must be culpable for the shady deals they have been involved in. She can hide behind the abused wife mantle when the Lewinski issue is discussed, but the "shady" financial deals and renting out the Lincoln bedroom are fair game for criticism.

First there was White Water where Hillary Clinton's relationship with her employer, the Rose Law, firm suddenly became the legal representative for James McDougal's Savings and Loan Company Madison Guaranty.When it declared bankruptcy it cost the U.S. taxpayers over 68 million dollars.

The secretive campaign money, allegedly given in a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, from the Chinese Communists, involving convicted felon Charlie Trie, during Clinton's second Presidential campaign.

And then Janet Reno, Attorney General, had to investigate claims that Clinton allowed "soft money", raised to promote the Democratic Party and its positions on issues of policy, to be diverted into the effort to elect Clinton and Vice- President Gore. If that happened, and the President knew it, a crime was committed.

There was the claim that he and Gore authorised White House staff to use telephones in the White House to solicit campaign funds. A clear violation of the law!

Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich, a big contributor to Clinton Campaigns, just before he left office is very suspect. U.S. pardon attorney Roger Adams says "when the White House sent over Rich's name for pardon consideration — only a few hours before the President was due to leave office — there was never any mention of Rich being a fugitive". There is also suspicion that donations made to Clinton campaigns and to the Clinton presidential library by Rich's ex-wife, Denise, could be a quid pro quo for the pardon. Source: Time Magazine

Add to this the Peter Paul lawsuit against the Clintons that claims malfeasance was involved in fund raising for a Clinton Gala ,using White House personnel ( Kelly Crawford)to solicit contributors to the event being arranged by Paul. The Federal Elections Committee eventually fined the Senatorial Campaign Committee $35,00 and Indicted Senator Clinton's financial campaign director. John Armor, an Election Law Expert, was quoted as saying Hillary Clinton was "involved in the largest election law fraud in U.S. history. Source: Doug Ross Journal

Do we really want this pair in the White House again?

Time To Wake Up to the Real Threat

From the pages of the Afganistan section of the Middle East Times comes an article by ARNAUD DE BORCHGRAVE.

"One wing of the Taliban movement wants to give its top priority to demoralizing and evicting the United States and its NATO allies from Afghanistan. The other, led by Baitullah Mehsud, the man who allegedly ordered the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, wants to focus on the Talibanization of Pakistan. Mullah Muhammad Omar, the one-eyed Taliban leader whose movement was deposed and who has been in hiding since the U.S.-led invasion a month after Sept. 11, 2001, resurfaced – long enough to fire Mehsud.
Mehsud, a Pakistani Talib warlord, let be known that while he remained loyal to Mullah Omar, he also remained "the amir of Tehrik-Taliban Pakistan," and it wasn't much longer before both sides denied his expulsion. Commander Mehsud makes no bones about jihad, and says it is in fact the duty of every Muslim to wage jihad against "the infidel forces of America and Britain".
He certainly echoed Omar when he told an al-Jazeera television reporter: " We now fear America will use a nuclear bomb against the Muslims … so we fear the American bomb, but not the Pakistani bomb. At least it's in the hands of Muslims. We pray to Allah the Muslims will take over all the nuclear bombs from infidels, whose hands are soiled with the blood of the innocent."
As for al-Qaida, added Mehsud, "I have the utmost love and respect for Osama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, because of their enmity toward the Jews and the Christians … the Islamic zeal that runs in their veins is very rare … we will serve them, even if they ask us to sacrifice our heads for their sakes."

He concludes his interview with these warning words: "Lest anyone still doubt their global strategy, Mehsud spelled it out: "We will wage jihad in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Bosnia and Iraq as well. There are no borders in Islam. We fight the Jews and Christians in Afghanistan out of ideological motives."
NATO allies are already tiring of the Afghan campaign. Canada now says it will only extend its mission there if Germany, France, Spain or Italy agree their soldiers should also be involved in harm's way missions. NATO's future is now clearly at stake in the Pakistan-Afghan mess".

The reason I am posting this small piece of informantion is because it will never appear in the Main Stream Media or cross the lips of any of the candidates for President. This despite the fact that today's foreign papers are filled with reports that Afghanistan is on the verge of a destabilization of it's fragile government. This from Guardian Unlimited:

"If Afghanistan fails, the possible strategic consequences will worsen regional instability, do great harm to the fight against Jihadist and religious extremism, and put in grave jeopardy Nato's future as a credible, cohesive and relevant military alliance."

None the less, the National cognizance of the war against radical Islam has taken a back seat to the secularist talk about extending the Welfare State in the United States. It is the economy that appears to have blotted out of the minds of Americans, the threat that radical Islam poses to Middle East stability and to our present way of life. Since we send over $400 billion dollars each year to Middle Eastern Countries for the purchase of oil, that runs our economy.

I believe, the United States people are in the frame of mind that asks what can my Government do for me, insted of asking themselves what can I do for myself and my Country?

We seem to have taken the slippery slope toward secularized Socialism of the entire Country as is indicated by the three front runners remaining in the race for the Presidency.

John McCain is anything but a Conservative. He has voted with Feinglod and Ted Kennedy more times than he has voted to support Our President. The only position that he has, that is in line with Conservative opinion, is his stance on Iraq and Afganistan.
Hillary and Obama are outspoken advocates of bigger government and more "hand outs". They also would begin withdrawal of the troops in Iraq, there by making Iraq a staging location for al Qaeda and Taliban Terrorists. A situation that will allow them to aid in the fabrication of small nuclear weapons to use against American Cities and Israel.

A famous Biblical scholar wrote "what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul". I postulate that the United States of America has lost it's soul, It has become a Greek like tragedy and is headed for a catastrophic occurence, because of our political correctness, libertine hedonism, greed, and the disregard for the unborn and the elderly.

In too many of our "newer" generation minds there is no room for "tumults " of war, and those people whom they believe are not part of the "great work force" it takes to support a welfare state.

It All Depends on What "Literal" Means

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with radical Jihadistan.

If Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton get to be President, they will need all our prayers. It is physically impossible to remove all the troops at the same time. Because of this logistic problem, the last to be extracted from Iraq will be vulnerable to attack and Massacre, by Al Qaeda whom once the withdrawal is announced, will lie in wait and prepare to kill the troops as they depart..

While we are praying we should consider the dire consequences for Israel if Senator Obama is elected President.

The "Israel Insider" is reporting today on a speech given Monday by Barrack Obama in which he said the following: "Palestinian refugees do not have a "literal" right of return to Israel. He did not clarify whether that implied they had a moral, metaphorical, legal or other non-literal right to return to Israel.

More controversially, Obama said he supported the division of Israel into at least two parts by a Palestinian state. This completely stunning comment came as Obama was attempting to articulate his position on key Mideast issues presently in dispute.... "The right of return [to Israel] is something that is not an option in a literal sense," Obama said, but then went on to say that "The Palestinians have a legitimate concern that a state have a contiguous coherent mass that would allow the state to function effectively."

Roget;s thesaurus defines literal with any one of the following
Synonyms:
accurate, actual, apparent, authentic, bona fide, critical, faithful, genuine, natural, not figurative, ordinary, real, scrupulous, simple, strict, true, undeviating, unerring, unexaggerated, unvarnished, usual, veracious, verbal, verbatim, veritable, written. I have put some of the words in italics to Illustrate the duplicitous nature of his speech.

To make an analogy that is closer to home. Let us consider the ramifications of applying his solution to the problem native Mexicans living in southern California and Nevada have with Our Country, that they believe was wrongly taken from their ancestors.

Would We stand still while Congress and the President gave back a part of Southern California from the Mexican border to the Southern end of Los Angeles. Would We stand for the return of the portion of California and Arizona that included the land from Mexacali, Mexico North to Las Vegas, then East to the Arizona/ New Mexico border, then South to Aqua Prieta on the Mexican border.

This would effectively cut the Southwestern United States off from the rest of United States. Not unlike what it would do to Israel if Obama's plan were implemented. People traveling or transporting goods from Colorado Springs, Co. to San Diego,Ca. would have to pass through a foreign Country!

A land corridor between Gaza and the West Bank, as he has suggested, would effectively cut Israel in half, making it a non-contiguous Country. It would divided Israel into northern and southern portions by the Palestinian land-mass Obama envisions. The Democratic Presidential candidate didn't explain why it was legitimate for the Palestinians to have a coherent and contiguous territory at Israel's expense. It also would give them a position that surrounds Israel from which they could destroy them with Russian and Chinese made rockets.

Barack Obama does have a record to run on, despite many critics of him who say he has done nothing of note in his two years in the Senate. It is a record that should be of concern to those who support America's only real ally in the Middle East, Israel.

The following quote is one made my Reverend Jeramia Wright

Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ. This Church and

it's Pastor follow a particularly Afro-centric view of Christianity, emphasizing a Black Work Ethic, commitment to a Black Value System, and an allegiance to all Black Leadership that follows the Black Value System. A brief review of its philosophy shows that this is not your everyday Christian parish, in fact it follows a very racialist belief system that is espoused by Louis Farrakhan. This could account for Obama and his campaign's managers dropping of the name "Trinity" when discussing his church membership.

Pastor Wright had this to say about the Isarel/Palestinian problem:

"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism".

This racist belief system stands in stark contrast to Obama's rhetoric regarding the need and desirability of racial and religious inclusiveness. The church's principles seem to belie Obama's platitudes about the need for all people - of whatever race or religion - to come together as one.

Until Obama refutes his Pastor's position, We can assume he like his other benefactor, George Soros and his Democracy Alliance (whose members are called “partners,”who pay an initial $25,000 fee and $30,000 in yearly dues,and must pledge to give at least $200,000 annually to groups that Democracy Alliance endorses), are pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel!

Why would any one vote for this duplicitous smooth talking man to the Presidency?

Time to Take Iran's Nuclear Threat Seriously

- Iran Focus has learnt that the photograph of Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, holding the arm of a blindfolded American hostage on the premises of the United States embassy in Tehran was taken by an Associated Press photographer in November 1979. Prior to the first round of the presidential elections on June 17, Iran Focus was the first news service to reveal Ahmadinejad’s role in the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. This man has been, and still is a terrorist who is in the process of developing a nuclear bomb. A bomb that he denies on one occasion to be building, and on another threatens to use against Israel and U.S. military bases if attacked by Israel.

It is time to take this mad man, megalomaniac seriously!

Yet, we are in the middle of a Presidential campaign, and not one candidate on the Democrat side and too few on the Republican side have even mentioned how they would deal with this real threat if elected.

Anthony Cordesman may be the most influential man in Washington that most people have never heard of. A former director of intelligence assessment for the secretary of defense and director of policy and planning in the Department of Energy, he is now the top strategic "guru" at the Center for Strategic & International Studies. He believes it is a real possibility that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon.

In the real world outside of politics, this matters mainly because an Iranian nuclear capability would transform the power balance in the Middle East, and leave the region and the rest of us living under the constant prospect of a nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel.

Cordesman theorizes that the biggest bomb that Iran is expected to have is 100 kilotons, which can inflict third-degree burns on exposed flesh at 8 miles; Israel's 1-megaton bombs can inflict third-degree burns at 24 miles. Moreover, the radiation fallout from an airburst of such a 1-megaton bomb can kill unsheltered people at up to 80 miles within 18 hours as the radiation plume drifts.
Cordesman assumes that Iran, with less than 30 nuclear warheads in the period after 2010, would aim for the main population centers of Tel Aviv and Haifa, while Israel would have more than 200 warheads and far better delivery systems, including cruise missiles launched from its 3 Dolphin-class submarines.

Cordesman also notes that Israel, if attacked or threatened with an attack, would have various options, in addition to a strike on Iran. A limited nuclear strike on the region mainly inhabited by the Alawite minority in Syria, from which come the ruling Assad dynasty.

A full-scale Israeli attack on Syria would kill up to 18 million people within 21 days; Syrian recovery would not be possible. A Syrian attack with all its reputed chemical and biological warfare assets could kill up to 800,000 Israelis, but Israeli society would be able to recover.

So in a clear, and chillingly style, Cordesman spells out that he believes the real stakes in the crisis that is building over Iran's nuclear ambitions would certainly include the end of Persian civilization, quite probably the end of Egyptian civilization, and the end of the Oil Age. This would also mean the end of globalization and the extraordinary accomplishments in world trade, growth and prosperity that are hauling hundreds of millions of out of poverty.

Cordesman also lists the oil wells, refineries and ports along the Gulf that could also be targets in the event of a mass nuclear response by an Israel convinced that it was being dealt a potentially mortal blow. If it was contained within the region, such a nuclear exchange might not be Armageddon for the human race; it would certainly be Armageddon for the global economy.

The Wrong Pesron To Get Endorsement From

In Mafia lore the soldier never wanted to get a kiss on the lips by the "godfather'. If he did he knew immediately that he was marked for death!

The analogy is a little far fetched when you speak of politics, but I believe the announcement of the endorsement of Obama by Senator Ted Kennedy may turn out to be a negative in the long run. Not because of the animus Senator Kennedy has developed in his alcohol sodden 52 year tenure in the Senate. The endorsement and comparison of Obama and John Kennedy will only result in people delving into Obama's and John Kennedy's history to compare the two, and what they find will be a stark contrast in persons.

When we compare Barrack Hussein Obama to Ted's brother John Fitzgerald Kennedy we will see a great difference. Not a similarity.

Kennedy was a Catholic, Obama belongs to a Church whose pastor is an supporter of Louis Farrakhan. John Kennedy was a war hero who had his PT boat shot out from under him by the Japanese, for which he received the Purple Heart and the Navy and Marine Corps. Medal. He was an advocate of defending the South Vietnamese against the Communist North Vietnamese. He could be described as a Hawk in the way he stared down the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Obama is described at best as a dove. He believes we can talk directly to the maniac that runs Iran, and that the Iraq war was wrong from the beginning.My question is at what point would he be willing to use the military?

President Kennedy proceeded to cut the high income tax rates
immediately after he was sworn in as President. Obama is for repealing the Bush tax cuts, and is advocating expanded welfare programs like universal health care. All of which will result in more tax dollars coming out of the pockets of working Americans and heading for the big welfare State rulers in Washington.

Unlike the two years service in National office of Obama. Kennedy served three terms in the Congress of the United States before being elected to the Senate. He was an experienced young political operative by the time he was nominated for President.

As Senator Lloyd Bensten said in 1988, during the vice-Presidential debates with Dan Quayle: "Senator you are no Jack Kennedy!". I repeat:Senator Obama, you are no John F. Kennedy!

When Your Choice Is "None Of The Above"

From the time when there were ten Republicans running for the Party's nomination for President. I searched for a REAL Conservative in the group. He surfaced later, but is now gone. Fred Thompson was the only Federalist who believed in smaller Federal Government and States Rights. But his "trophy" wife and non-charismatic manner was not attractive to the voters. The race for President has become a contest of sound bites, promises and a beauty contest.

I can't vote for any Democrat because they are all a group of lying, Tax and Spend Liberals, who would rob those who make an honest living, and give it to their dependency base.Not to mention the fact that like Lindon Johnson and Harry Truman, they won't allow the troops to win in Iraq, to please their leftist base.

Consider the statements of two well known contributors to Town Hall Internet site.

“I consider all three of [the leading Democrat candidates to be anti-military, tax-raising, left-wing flyweights who would bury this country in entitlements while essentially ignoring Islamic fascism.” —Burt Prelutsky

“The Clintons have a record of lawless and ruthless corruption that goes back not only to their White House days in the 1990s but even back to their time in the governors’ mansion in Arkansas... It may not be emotionally satisfying to vote for the lesser of two evils but a lot depends on how bad the worse evil is. Nobody running on the Republican ticket is as dangerous as the Clintons.” —Thomas Sowell

Of the eight senators making presidential runs, Clinton (N.Y.), who is completing her first Senate term, and Obama (Ill.), sworn in two years ago, have the briefest voting histories. The Senate has held 645 roll-call votes during their shared tenure, and more than 90 percent of the time the two senators stood with other Democrats. They opposed John G. Roberts Jr.'s nomination as chief justice, supported increased funding for embryonic stem cell research and backed the same nonbinding measure that urged President Bush to plan for a gradual troop withdrawal from Iraq.

Obama voted to increase taxes when he opposed a package of business breaks that included the extension of middle-class provisions. Clinton voted for the tax bill -- before she voted against it, as did Obama, in the legislation's final form. Source is the Washington Post

On the Republican side you have McCain, Huckabee, Romney and Rudy Guilliani as the front runners. None of them is what I would call a Conservative. The reasons are numerous, but I will list just a few reasons why I am reluctant to vote for anyone of them.

Huckabee, an ordained Baptist Minister, had this unkind reference to the Religion of Romney:" Don't Mormons believe Jesus and the devil are brothers"!

Senator McCain teamed up with Senator Feingold to pass a bill that gutted free speech during election cycles, and John McCain may be an ex-POW, but he didn't sound like a Senator who believes in the rule of law. When he said: "the demonstrations by the illegal aliens moved the senate committee to come out with the amnesty bill". He was for a blanket pardon of all illegals!

He also stated on the Chris Matthews show that he would vote with the Democrats to stop a filibuster on Judicial appointment. Too close to the Left for me.

Mr. Guillani, in 1996 compared "the anti-immigration issue that's now sweeping the country" to "the Chinese Exclusionary Act, or the Know-Nothing movement -- these were movements that encouraged Americans to fear foreigners, to fear something that is different and to stop immigration." He also has been accused of allowing havens for illegals to exist in New York while Mayor.He also said educating the children of illegal immigrants made sense.

That narrows my choice down to Romney who has held more liberal positions on social issues such as abortion and gay rights in the years prior to becoming a candidate for President.

Mitt has campaigned on "if elected he will change Washington", an echo of Obama, but during the Iowa Caucus he displayed a "TO DO" list. Mr.Romney broke out a long banner with the twelve things he hopes to accomplish as president. Though they incorporate just about every goal of a conservative , they did not include balancing the budget, a major mistake.Then at a town hall event later, a voter rose and asked Romney why balancing the budget wasn't on the list. His campaign staff then taped it on the bottom. Two additional blank spaces were left, in case voters suggested Romney do anything else. Too duplicitous for me!

If this were a beauty contest I believe Romny and Edwards would be good candidates to run against each other. But this is a voters choice for the leader of the Free World, Commander in Chief of the military forces, who will have to contend with World wide Islamic terrorism, and titular head of the moral fiber of this great Country. Why do we seem to have forgotten this precept?

TV Hypocracy Raises It's Ugly Head

Mentioning that he believed homosexuality was a sin. Reggie White lost his previously announced job/hire for CBS sports.
White created a furor in the gay and lesbian community in March 1998 with a speech to the Wisconsin State Assembly. In it, he referred to homosexuality as “one of the biggest sins in the Bible”.
At the time, White, considering retirement, was on the short list of candidates for CBS’s N.F.L. studio show, but of course he did not get the job.

For years there has been an underlying prejudice against Catholics and Jews in the Media, while every attempt was made to increase the presence of women and minorities in the industry in the name of diversity.

Now for a another time in recent history, an active television sports announcer has made derisive and scurrilous remarks about a Catholic University and the Deity they worship.

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last as Media persons have substituted the use of bias license for freedom of speech. Personal prejudices and down right hatred have replace objectivity and the TRUTH!


In 2006, as anchor woman for The Today Show, Katie Couric's attack on Ave Maria University and its "dangerous Catholic culture" with its "segregation," its "intolerance," its disrespect for "civil liberties", was a notable on air attack.


Now ESPN anchor woman Dana Jacobson verbally"attacked" Jesus Christ.
Jacobson, reportedly intoxicated, was speaking at a celebrity roast in Atlantic City, N.J., when she unleashed a profane tirade, saying, "F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus."
"Touchdown Jesus" is the popular moniker for a statue on the Notre Dame campus of Jesus raising his arms.

If that wasn't enough, last September Kathy Griffin, the star of the Bravo show "My Life on the D-List," stirred controversy when she used her appearance on the Emmy Awards program to tell Jesus to "suck it" while claiming full credit for the honor for herself.


Thus far there has been no public apology from either Ms. Jacobson nor from ESPN leadership. Apparently word sensitivity is reserved for minority groups and the Muslim religion. Had she said F--- Mohammad, CAIR would have her head, literally within days!

Apparently this is just another example of the Secular/anti-religion world we now live in. A World that has abandoned the belief and reverence for God, and has substituted foul language,sexual license, hedonism, Atheism and unbridled self gratification.
Then some wonder why we seem to be experiencing more and more natural disasters! Could it be that the Almighty is trying to get our attention?
Today,, many Americans are infatuated with outright, full-bore atheism. In fact, Dr.Dawkins, the Oxford scientist who wrote "The God Delusion," is even selling young people "Scarlet Letter" tee-shirts with a giant "A" – for "atheist" – on his website (and bumper stickers too). Somehow, atheism – just like homosexuality, which used to be considered shameful and something to hide – is now becoming hip, sophisticated, enlightened, even a badge of honor.


This type of news indicates that any Christian Religion and their followers are fair game for discriminatory practices. The following story, as does the story about Ms. Jackobson, appears in today's edition of WorldNetDaily.


"In Witchita, Kansas, Reverend Holick was "attempting" to express his faith on a public sidewalk outside of an event in a public park that was celebrating homosexual behavior.
According to the records in the case, Holick had contacted the police department a week before the event and expressed his desire to communicate his religious views on the date of the homosex-fest".

"He was told he couldn't go into Heritage Square Park where it was being held but was told the sidewalk would be his "friend."
Then on the day of the event, Holick and other church members arrived at the sidewalk outside the event and "immediately" were confronted by about 10 officers. He was ordered to leave the sidewalk or be arrested.
He asked where he could go, and he was told the public sidewalks were off-limits to him, and he could go into a nearby private parking lot"!

So much for Freedom Of Speech and The Right To assembly!

Is The Pole Shift Theory Possible?

One of the theories that has not been published in the dialog of Global Warming, is the Mayan Pole Shift Theory in which the north and south pole shift. Albert Einstein agreed that this effect is now going on, and can be responsible for Global Weather change.

The theory if correct would make all other theories moot, because they predict the Poles will shift again in 2012. If this occurs, the catastrophe that will include earthquakes, tsunamis and massive destruction could be the "End of Times".

The end of the fifth creation of the Maya calendar is on December 23, 2012 of the Current Era (C.E.2).That would be 12-21-12, It has to do with the movement of the earths axis where all of the planets line up. It will change the tides and start massive flooding. Not necessarily the end of the world just major change in "mother nature" that could result in devastating events.

The magnetic field of the Earth has actually switched its direction many many times during Earth's history. Although this is not completely understood, the leading theory of how it works is that Earth's magnetic field is caused by the motion of the liquid outer core. The churning of the liquid in the outer core acts as a giant electromagnet, moving electrical charges around, in what is known as the "geomagnetic dynamo." The rotation of the solid inner core also contributes to the magnetic field.

When a certain combination of inner and outer core motion occurs, the Earth's magnetic field will quickly reverse. For example, lava that solidified 30,000 years ago shows that the magnetic field was in the opposite direction at that time. Evidence from the geologic record shows that this reversal could take less than 1000 or even less than 100 years. The way these reversals throughout geologic history were discovered was by looking at the seafloor. New ocean floor is created along the mid-ocean ridges. When lava along these ridges cools, its minerals harden in line with the Earth's magnetic field. This causes the seafloor to have magnetic "stripes," which can be measured and mapped. This is very useful for oceanographers and geologists.
One effect that may occur during a magnetic reversal is that the Earth may not be protected from charged particles streaming from the sun. These particles are called the "solar wind", and could be dangerous to life if they reached the Earth's surface. However, the interaction between the magnetic field and these particles deflects them around the Earth. The area around a planet (including Earth) within which the motion of charged particles is affected by the magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. The Earth's environment extends all the way from the sun to the Earth and beyond? It is not an empty wasteland of space. Instead, near-Earth space is full of streaming particles, electromagnetic radiation, and constantly changing electric and magnetic fields. All of these things make up our magnetosphere (source for this material is from NASA)

We've learned that the solar wind travels past the Earth at well over 1,000,000 miles per hour. And thanks to the Earth's magnetic field, the solar wind is stopped and deflected around the Earth so that most of it does not hit our atmosphere head on.

Sometimes the magnetosphere becomes overloaded with particles. When this happens, some particles escape through the magnetosphere and interact with atoms in the upper atmosphere, making them emit light. This is what creates the northern lights (aurora borealis) and the southern lights (aurora australis). weakened during a reversal, more of these particles will get through to the upper atmosphere. This could be a problem, but most likely the atmosphere is thick enough to protect the Earth's surface.

Solar wind energy in our magnetosphere can also cause what are known as space plasma storms. These storms can cause communication and science satellites to fail. They can also cause damage to electric power systems on the surface of the Earth. (See picture above of damage)
A large space storm in 1989 made currents on the ground that caused a failure in the Hydro-Quebec electric power system. This prevented 6 million people in Canada and the US from having electricity for over 9 hours. The same storm caused the atmosphere to inflate and dragged the LDEF satellite to a lower orbit earlier than expected.

This phenomenon, can and does have an affect on the Earth and it's climate. Al Gore's theory of Global Warming blames man made co2 gases for a decrease in the Polar ice cap, and many other climatology things. He like other hucksters is peddling a disputed scientific theory that will do nothing but slow down the United States economy.

Perhaps politicians and pseudo-scientists should consider the effect of the "solar winds" on climate change, and pay a lot more attention to people like NASA who have sent people into space where they can measure the effects of the Sun on our Mother Earth!

Polar Bears More Valuable Than Oil?

Recently, some scientists have claimed that human-caused global warming poses a significant threat to the survival of many species. For most species at risk, they argue, warming will cause the range of suitable habitat to shift faster than either the species (or their food sources) can move or adapt to a new range. For other species, they say, suitable habitat will cease to exist altogether.

Among the species claimed to be at high risk of extinction from human-caused global warming is the polar bear.
In February 2005 the Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to list the polar bear as endangered or threatened. The petition was later joined by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Greenpeace. In response, the USFWS initiated a formal status review to determine if the polar bear should be protected throughout its range.

A new NCPA study by Dr. David Legates, director of the University of Delaware’s Center for Climatic Research and state climatologist, examines the claim that global warming threatens to cause polar bear extinction and finds little basis for fear. By and large, the study finds that polar bear populations are in good shape.

The National Center for Policy Analysis reports that the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an international organization that has worked for 50 years to protect endangered species, has also written on the threats posed to polar bears from global warming. However, their own research seems to undermine their fears.

According to the WWF, about 20 distinct polar bear populations exist, accounting for approximately 22,000 polar bears worldwide. Their study shows population patterns do not show a temperature-linked decline. In Fact the conclusion is. ”What seems clear is that polar bears have survived for thousands of years, including both colder and warmer periods. There may be threats to the future survival of the polar bear, but global warming is not primary among them.”
“Moreover, when the WWF report is compared with the Arctic air temperature trend studies discussed earlier, there is a strong positive (instead of negative) correlation between air temperature and polar bear populations. Polar bear populations are declining in regions (like Baffin Bay) that have experienced a decrease in air temperature, while areas where polar bear populations are increasing (near the Bering Strait and the Chukchi Sea) are associated with increasing air temperatures. Thus it is difficult to argue that rising air temperatures will necessarily and directly lead to a decrease in polar bear populations.”

People like Kassie Siegel, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate, Air and Energy Program, a liberal organization, should concern themselves with the real killer of polar bears.

The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, allow native Alaskans(Eskimos) to kill polar bears for food and clothing. They kill 60-100 polar bears a year. This is a bigger threat than an oil spill that may or may not happen.
People like her and the sycophant Democrat Congressman, Rep. Ed Markey, chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, who last Thursday introduced a bill that would require the Interior Department to delay the sale of oil drilling rights in the Chukchi Sea (Sale 193) — currently scheduled for Feb. 6 — until it makes a decision on the polar bear. A a real Threat to our oil independence.

Kassie Siegel and her co-conspirators, The Center for Biological Diversity(there's that word again)Climate, Air and Energy Program, are holding up the sale of leases to oil companies in the Chukchi/Bering Sea area by threatening to sue, are a threat to our Countries way of life and oil independence from the Arabs.
In this bloggers opinion they are the "fifth Column" of the United States who would like to force us back into the "horse and buggy days"!

UF Prof. Selects Diversity Over Free Speech

Having two sons who are alumni of the University of Florida, I am appalled by the apparent attitude of a faculty member in a position of power over students attending the University.

The faculty member involved is Dr.Patricia-Telles Irvin, Vice-President of Student Affairs. The good doctor appears to be more concerned with the feelings of the minority Muslim students than she is in protecting free speech as illustrated by the following dialog.



Delray Beach Republican Rep. Adam Hasner released a press statement tonight demanding an apology from University of Florida Student Affairs VP Patricia Telles-Irvin, pictured above, who had the misfortune of grabbing the lighting rod that is the movie Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.

The movie, which some pan as anti-Muslim propaganda, has caused such a controversy at college campuses across the country that some schools have canceled showings. But others have praised the movie for its vivid depiction of Islamo-Fascism: Hasner encouraged fellow legislators to see this documentary this spring.

At the University of Florida, a coalition of student Republican and Jewish groups promoted the movie with fliers that read "Radical Islam Wants You Dead.

Some UF students expressed concerns for their safety after seeing the fliers, which prompted Telles-Irvin to send an e-mail to the complete student body that discussed the responsibilities that come along with free speech. She said the groups that designed the advertisement owed Muslims on campus an apology!
Enter Hasner.
Hasner, e-mailed UF President James Machen to say that he disagreed the posters posed an "inherent threat to campus safety."
"According to the administration's view of the world, elements of Radical Islam do not want to kill us," Hasner wrote. "Not only is this view wrong, but it is itself dangerous."
Hasner said that the incident has called into question UF's commitment to free speech. To restore confidence, Hasner suggested a "public reprimand" of Telles-Irvin and a "substantive and enunciated" free speech policy for the school.
According to Hasner's press release, Attorney General Bill McCollum is also involved.

Hasner quoted a Dec. 3, 2007 letter McCollum sent Machen saying that the Telles-Irvin's e-mail "may have violated the free speech rights of the students and organizations who posted this ad and sponsored the movie" and "at the very least it has created a chilling effect on the free speech rights of students."

"Dr. Telles-Irvin's letter may have violated the free speech rights of the students and organizations who posted this ad and sponsored the movie. At the very least it has created a chilling effect on the free speech rights of students enrolled at the University of Florida. As the Attorney General of Florida, it is my duty to protect the constitutional rights of all Floridians including civil rights and free speech rights. Consequently, I have asked attorneys in my office to review this matter and advise me what if any action this office should pursue. I am writing to request that you review this matter with your staff, legal counsel and the University of Florida Board of Trustees and, if they concur with my concerns, formulate and take some appropriate remedial action.
No doubt Dr. Telles-Irvin was responding in her letter to the sensitivities of the Muslim students on campus. While the Muslin faith should be honored and respected and most practicing Muslims are not radical and not terrorists, the United States has been at war with radical Islamic terrorists since September 11, 2001. The movie "Obsession," which I have seen, describes the nature of our enemy and this war. The headline on the ad for the movie reading "RADICAL ISLAM WANTS YOU DEAD" is one of the messages in this movie and is a true statement of the intent of these radical Islamic terrorists. In her letter Dr. Telles-Irvin says, "regardless of its original intent, the language reinforced a negative stereotype, created unnecessary divisiveness and contributed to a generalization that only furthers the misunderstanding of the religion of Islam." This may be the view of Dr. Telles-Irvin, but a great many Americans would disagree and argue that it is essential to the discussion and understanding of this war that the terrorists be properly and correctly labeled as radical Islamists who by their very actions clearly want us dead. Students and student organizations who hold this latter view should not be stifled in their free expression of it."
I will still root for the Gators, but am glad I won't be sending another of my children to UF.

We Embrace What We Escaped

Two hundred and twenty seven tears ago, the British army surrendered at Yorktown and the "War for Independence" was officially ended, although the Treaty of Paris in 1783 was needed to declare that the 13 Colonies were independent of Great Britain.

Although we fought them, many in this Country still follow the traditions and customs of England. You see this more in the East Coast and some parts of the middle West where British "old school" ties are still de rigour.

The Ivy League schools are filled with English traditions and so are many of the so called "Prep" schools.

The disturbing trend is found in the way our political system seems to mimic the trends in Great Britain. Recent political campaigns seem strangely reminiscent of what happened in Great Britain in 1945 when Prime Minister Churchill was soundly beaten in his quest for re-election by Clement Attlee.

Churchill had led the British through the war to victory over the Nazis, but in 1945 the Country was in dire financial condition, and the Socialist Attlee was victorious in his bid to unseat the man who said these memorable words: "One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."

He also said: " You have enemies, Good! That means you have stood up for something, sometime in your life."

These and many other quotes, too numerous to mention in this blog, show what a great man was Winston Churchill. But the people turned on him for six years and elected the Socialist Clement Attlee.

It is not a small thing to note that the British realized the folly of their actions and re-elected him in 1951 after Attlee had Socialised the National Health Service, railroads, mines, roads, gas and the Bank Of England! Had it not been for a loan from the United States of 4.34 Billion dollars at 2% interest, obtained by the famous economist John Maynard Keynes, the British economy would have been bankrupt.

Today we have struggle for the power of the Presidency in which all of the Democratic and too many of the Republican(RINOS) candidates are advocating the installing of Government Programs which if passed will start the United States on the road to Socialism. Many believe we are already on that "slippery slope", but if Obama, Hillary Clinton or John Edwards it will be a fate complete.

Churchill's words about turning your back on danger seem to be the watch word of the Democrats. The Iraq war has disappeared from their campaign rhetoric. Unfortunately for Americans "out of sight out of mind " will not make the World wide threat of radical Ilsam go away! But apparently not unlike the "Britts" in 1945, the American voters appear to be more interested in "change" and more "goodies" from the Federal Government.

It was once said that "You Can't kill Santa Claus"! Apparently that applies to 50% or more of the voters in the United States who have voted in the Democrat Congress and appear ready to turn the Commander In Chief position into a Santa Claus. Butter for guns and more taxation for the working man will be the rule of the day, until we like the British in 1951 when they threw out Attlee for Churchill, wake up and realize that Socialism has failed in every Country it has been enacted. My fear is that fear we may not awake in time!
