Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


One need only consider the flaunted immorality of "Sex and the City" to get the point. Women my grandmother would have labeled "sluts" are now regarded as New York sophisticates who change men as rapidly as they change clothes, during the short breaks between sexual trysts when they bother to wear clothes at all.

In place of an immutable standard, it is in self we trust, not God (Heaven, "if it exists," forbid!)

Obama's only foreign policy strategy seems to be diplomacy, not the defeat of evil. Such an approach when not supported by a credible threat of military power is bound to encourage more evil, not less. Obama debunks the value of experience, claiming the experience of President Bush and John McCain got us into the lengthy Iraq War. That war didn't start in Iraq and it won't end there, even if our objectives are achieved. Those objectives are closer to being realized than they were a year ago, but Obama and his fellow Democrats cannot acknowledge progress because they are preoccupied with victory at the polls more than victory over evil.

Recently, The Washington Times carried a story by Rowan Scarborough that quoted intelligence officials who believe terrorist attacks could occur in the early month's of the next president's administration. Terrorists attacked in February 1993 just two months after Bill Clinton's Inauguration and again on Sept. 11, 2001, less than eight months after George W. Bush became president.

The central question for voters ought to be this: who do we want in the White House should another terrorist attack occur; one who seeks to negotiate with evil, or one who is a warrior and wants to crush it?

The “bad guys” want to kill us…
Because…“we have free thought and free choice”, that is why they hate us and despise the values for which we stand. They not only want to kill us but completely destroy our way of life. Can we be so blinded by a tunnel-vision ideology, that we are trapped in each his’ or her’ entrenched positions, too proud to admit our weaknesses, too closed in our minds to appraise the evidence and make sound, unbiased and just decisions? Politics often resonates in polarities, but today the polarities are infused with fanatical loathing that distorts everything, enabling moral relaxation. Hatred becomes the handmaiden of illogical argument and impairs both judgment and the pursuit of creative solutions. It clouds our humanity and dissipates our national will. The interplay of good and evil isn't always as clear as it could be and is often clouded by an intellectual arrogance that keeps otherwise intelligent men and women from seeing what's right and what’s wrong.

In reality…hatred and corruption has been and seems like it will always be with us. The struggle of GOOD verse EVIL will exist until hatred has given way to a universal understanding of why people want to be free and respect for all living things.

There is a God and he wants us to evolve, but endure what living is about. The evolutionary process is not easy and unbearably slow. Though the wisdom of God; we have been given two choices “good and evil” to “enjoy and endure”. From the “original sin”, throughout the generations to the present day, “good and evil” have been a continuous struggle with neither one completely conquering the other. When the day does come, that one shall overcome the other, will be the beginning and the end. If “GOOD” triumphs; the beginning of “Heaven on Earth” and the end to hatred and all wars. If “EVIL” triumphs; the beginning of the bedlam we all fear and the end of truth, justice, and liberty; and quite possibly life as we know it.


A very telling truth
"Terrorists attacked in February 1993 just two months after Bill Clinton's Inauguration and again on Sept. 11, 2001, less than eight months after George W. Bush became president."

Terrorists attacked the USS Cole shortly after Bill Clinton took office. Once upon a time, this nation took that as an act of war and responded by annihilating whover the perpetrator of that act was (see WWI and WWII).
Clinton, instead ordered a token airstrike on an unoccupied area that intelligence showed was no longer used by terrorists. Is it then surprising that 9/11 followed.

War is an ugly, ugly thing. I am a veteran of 10 years in the Navy. I would turn in my First Class Petty Officer crow tomorrow if it would end war. Unfortunately, pacifism only works if everybody is a pacifist. We must not be afraid to show the world that we will retalliate for ANY action against the better good of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I am not a huge supporter of John McCain, but I think 16 years of Commanders in Chief who have never actively served in the military is the EXACT reason why were even attacked twice, and why Washington is convinced that you can legislate war.
