Incompetence Central, Washington DC. Now that the Iranians shoved President Obama’s Olive Branch back into his face, now what?
President Osama has apparently convinced himself that the power of his personality will turn our nation’s enemies into doves by saying nice things about them. Liberals may have bought Obama’s rhetorical BS, but it’s pretty clear our enemies don’t share Obama’s, “let’s all just be friends” diplomatic approach. The nation had this debate back in the campaign and once again Obama is proven wrong.
Our enemies hate America and the only thing that holds them back from a full frontal attack is not our sincere desire to live in peace with our world neighbors, but the fact we have the ability to destroy them should they try. Our enemies don’t see the nice of Obama. They perceive him as both naive and weak. The Iranians, North Korea and others are not going to stop with their nuclear ambitions. Why should they? It was the Democrats who worked for failure in Iraq and now they hold all the political power.
Here’s my prediction. Iran will soon announce they have nuclear weapons and the Obama administration for all its bluster at the end of the day will do nothing. Liberals have this notion that criminals and our enemies are simply misunderstood and if we just say nice things to them, that they will change their ways.

High Fives For Obama
President Obama showed great leadership when he demonstrated his displeasure with the spending billed that contained 8,500 ear marks by signing the bill in private. After promising to go line by line of these spending bills and cutting out the ear marks, Obama denied Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid the photo opportunity they had hoped for by signing the bill in his private chambers.
The American people can sure be proud of this brave act of leadership of our young President. He stood up to Pelosi and Reid and by golly signed the bill in private. Now that’s Hope and “Change We Can Believe In”. High fives for the President!
The spending bill itself confirmed to the America people just how fiscally responsible the Democrat controlled Congress and White House is and validates the vote of the American people by giving Democrats all the political power. The bill increased government spending by 8 ½ over last years spending and the 8,500 ear marks costing a mere 2 billion dollars was no big deal.
The American people can also be especially proud of the new Treasury Secretary and head of the IRS. The other day he gave a real tongue lashing to corporate types and warned them he would be hot on their tails if they didn’t pay their taxes. He has had a real epiphany about the importance of paying your taxes after recently having to pay up his back taxes that he failed to pay as a condition of becoming head over the IRS.
I think you get the point and if you don’t you must be a Obama voter.

Cowering Obama
Is President Obama signing the $410 billion spending bill with nearly nine thousand ear marks in private supposed to make any American feel better? This is “Change We Can Believe In”? President Obama was given the perfect opportunity to demonstrate leadership, buy telling lawmakers that in light of the economic crisis and unemployment rate of over 8% to strip the bill of ear marks or he would veto the bill.
Instead he signed it in private as if that somehow demonstrates his displeasure. This is so reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years when Carter refused to leave the White House in protest of Iran holding American hostages. As with Carter, Obama had the political capital to make a difference, but chose to cower in the shadows and let the injustice continue.
Within two months of taking office Obama has proven himself to be in way over his head on domestic issues and soon he will be faced huge national security issues with Iran, North Korea, China and Russia. If Obama can’t even stand up to selfish politicians, how will he stand up to nations with armies?

Israel's Just War
The first responsibility of a just government is to protect its people from foreign and domestic enemies that wish to destroy them. The state of Israel lives in constant threat from its radical Islamic neighbors that seek to destroy them off the face of the earth.
Guided by a religious dogma that aims to impose its religion on all non-islamic individuals and countries through all means including violence is a reality that Israel lives with every day. The big lie in the Arab world is they somehow care about the Palestinian cause.
The Palestinian people have been given ampel opportunity to have a homeland but instead have chosen the path of violence and hate. Allowing Hamas to govern the Gaza and attack Israel daily with rocket fire has finally invoked a response from Israel and now they act as though they are victims. The Palestinians are not victims they are suffering under the consequences of their own hate. When you sell your soul to the devil you shouldn't be surprised when you end up in hell.
Israel is totally justified in defending itself and now would be wise to ignor any calls for a cease fire and should destroy Hamas through war, defeat its enemies in order to create peace. Unfortunately, war sometimes becomes the vehicle to peace. War is ugly and innocent people die. That's the realities of war.
The morality of war however depends on its motivation and justification. If war is waged for the purpose of oppressing then it is unjust. If war is waged to protect, defend and free individuals from tirrany then it is just.
Hamas provoked the attack with Israel and now they have to live with its consequences or in this case die as a result of the situation they created. If the Palestinian people ever want to have a homeland they are only going to obtain it through peaceful means and stop the insanity of hatred and violence.

End the Tolerance Insanity
I’m not sure where this idea of tolerance means abandoning that which is good, wholesome, and righteous and just to make some feel better about themselves, but this non-sense has to stop.
A prime example of a city that is so tolerant of everything that they are destroying their once beautiful city is San Francisco California. Tolerance is accepting of that which may be different, not embracing that which is evil, harmful and corrupt.
There is nothing cool about a congregation of homeless people who have ruined their minds through alcohol and drug abuse, living in squallier and poverty. There is no honor in allowing those devastated by mental disorders to be allowed to roam the streets unprotected and live without the medications that would make them sane. There is nothing right about allowing people to destroy their minds with drugs in the public square and not challenging them of its dangers. Worse yet, allowing them to purchase drugs out of a vending machine or giving them a supply of needles.
There is nothing gained by celebrating individuals who have such a twisted view of their sexual identity that they can not even distinguish whether they are male or female. There is nothing noble about allowing women to sale their bodies for money in order to support their drug or alcohol habits. There is nothing good that comes out of a pornographic society.
Look at San Francisco and tell me what good comes out of this “tolerant “ city where even its elected officials embrace this vitiated culture? Allowing this culture to exist unchallenged is not an expression of tolerance it’s down-right cruel. Tolerance not based in morality is anarchy.
San Francisco values as some call it is a social cancer eating away at our society that will bring nothing but ruin lives, despair and hopelessness. I would never want any of my friends and family to live the reality and results of embracing the San Francisco value system.
It’s high time that Americans quit being intimidated by the messengers of this horrible value system that will ultimately destroy everyone in its path. There is nothing cool about the San Francisco value system. It’s disgusting. If you care and love people, you work to lift them up out of bondage not join it.

Why I Will Vote McCain
Dear friend,
I have done what I can do to persuade everyone I know why they should not vote for Barrack Obama. Today, I want to explain the reasons why I will cast my vote for John McCain and try to persuade you to do the same.
My support for John McCain has not come easy. I am a social, economic and national security conservative. I have felt over the years that John McCain had betrayed his party and by siding with Democrats. I disagreed with McCain on a number of issues and to be honest he was about 5th on my list of those whom I wanted to be my President.
John McCain won the Republican nomination and my guy lost. I was faced with a choice, would I support the Democratic nominee, sit home and not vote or vote for John McCain. It’s the same choice every other voter has.
To be honest, I am one of many Republicans that have been very unhappy with my party. Some Republicans turned out to be corrupt and the Republican Party did not practice fiscal responsibility and spent way too much of the peoples money. What I also know is that way too many Democrats are corrupt too and Democrats enjoy spending the people’s money like drunken sailors as well. Both parties despite all the rhetoric have been equal opportunity offenders both ethically and fiscally. I am personally sick and tired of corrupt politicians and all those that defend them. Corruption and incompetency are destroying this nation and Republican and Democrats have both been guilty. I don’t care at this point which side has been more corrupt, I am just sick of corruption.
So far this is not a ringing endorsement of John McCain is it? My transformation for John McCain started with the Presidential Forum at Rick Warren’s Saddle Back church when both he and Barrack Obama were asked the same questions that were more than opportunities for canned answers but explored and challenged each man’s thinking. From my perspective John McCain echoed my values and Barrack Obama did not. McCain, pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-traditional values, limited government, strong role models ect. Barrack Obama liberal on every issue.
Now, I am leaning slightly for McCain. To be intellectually honest, Barrack Obama forever lost my vote at Saddle Back. His answer on the life issue saying such questions about when life should be protected was above his pay grade sent chills down my spine. His answer revealed that in Obama’s world view the definition of life is determined by public opinion. I can’t get past the holocaust mentality that said Jews were subhuman and deserving of death and that the dehumanization of another human being led to the slaughter of millions upon millions of innocent women, men and children whose only crime was the God they served.
The same warped mentality allowed blacks to be treated as subhuman and the same warped mentality allows abortion on demand calling it reproduction rights. Abortion is America’s national shame. I feel sorry for the women that find themselves with unwanted pregnancies, but I loath those who have pushed the notion that the unborn are not humans deserving of their right to life.
Although I would no longer consider Obama, I was still unsure of John McCain. My next test was who would be his VP choice. I kept hearing Mitt Romney’s name. While many conservatives liked Romney, I was not one of them. As a Governor of a liberal state, Romney supported abortion rights and gay rights, but since supposedly has had a conservative conversion. Maybe he did, but I am suspicious of election year conversions and I was preparing myself for the first time in my adult life, sitting out the election should McCain select Romney as VP.
Then McCain made a bold, historic and tremendous choice in choosing Sarah Palin. A solid conservative who possesses all the values and principles that are near and dear to me as a social, economic and national security conservative. The fact she fought corruption in her own party, was a mayor, governor and had a life story similar to average Americans drew me in. My respect for John McCain for making such a wise choice grew by leaps and bounds. It was at that point I for the fist time became a supporter of John McCain.
Then there was the Republican Convention when the real John McCain was introduced to the nation. To hear his story as a prisoner of war and how it shaped his life and world view helped me to understand the man. John McCain is a national hero that truly puts his country first. While I may not always agree with him, he has the good of the nation in his heart. I trust John McCain. After putting all the pieces of the puzzle together the true portrait of the man has emerged. John McCain is man of honesty, character, courage and integrity. I trust him to do his best to protect my family and my nation. John McCain will challenge Washington DC to reform and he will surround himself with like minded people who also are striving to put country first. All I can ask my President to do is to do his best, place our country before person gain, protect and defend the Constitution and secure the liberties and freedoms we all enjoy.
John McCain the portrait of the man is complete. You can trust John McCain. Barrack Obama’s portrait is not complete. There are too many questions left unanswered and what little we know about him does not warrant our trust. I respectively ask that you vote for John McCain to be our next President of this great nation. John McCain has won my trust, respect and my vote.
Sincerely,
Mark Giglia

Palin's Lack of Foreign Policy Experience
Sarah Palin should answer the foreign policy question this way. " As Barrack Obama, he and I both do not have extensive foreign policy experience. He leads the ticket and I am the Vice presidential nominee. John McCain on the other hand has a tremdendous amount of foreign policy experience and he knows the world and is one of the world's foremost experts on the subject.
If something tragic was to happen to John McCain and I was thrust into the role as President, I would surround myself with the best foreign policy advisers in the country in order to get the best advice possible. I would then use that advice and apply my common sense conservative principals and sound judgement to whatever the situation. I intend to learn from John McCain and if elected by the American people, I will gain the experience and a deeper understanding of the complex world in which we live.
The difference between the McCain/Palin ticket and the OBama/Biden ticket is that Barrack Obama and Joe Biden continually make unsound judgements that is dangerous for America.
Example, Barrack Obama not only opposed the war but voted to cut off funding to our troops during a time of war . Barrack Obama and Joe Biden both opposed the surge and if they had thier way, the troops would have left in retreat and defeat. John McCain knowing the importance of victory in Iraq put his country first despite all the opinion polls and because of his committment and expertise, we are confident that the Iraq war will end in victory and our troops will come home with the honor they deserve.
Furthermore, Barrack Obama will not admit the surge was a sucess and he keeps argueing his opposition to go to war as thou it is even a relavant question at this point. The decision to go to war has made long ago and the question now is not whether we should go or not go, but how do we win the war and bring our troops home in victory and honor. Barrack Obama's answer to his oppostion is to retreat and accept defeat. That is not a option John McCain or I will accept.
