SAVE THE PLANET

Let me put this in a context you liberals out there might grasp.

“SAVE THE PLANET”.

Since everyone is concerned about taking care of the environment and …keeping innocent people protected from 2^nd hand cigarette smoke and …from trans-fatty acids …and saving the planet from the evil ways of man…
Are you going to just sit there and let someone destroy the planet during your lifetime?

There is a worse threat that exists today than Germany was in the 1930’s.

No, not the neocons...(lol), but if you are worried about the neocon's, then pay close attention and you will see the neocon's should be the least of your worries. I'm sure that you've never heard of the Hojjatieh's who are at the center of trouble ahead.

They are basically a religious cult who is dedicated to bringing about the end of the world, has practically unlimited funding, has nuclear capability, and has access to the worlds largest oil supplies. Oh and by the way they plan on dying in the process, so unlike Hitler they don’t want to live through it.

This religious cult (with more than just a few followers) is on course with destiny to bring about the end of the world (as we know it) pardon the pun.

They don’t just want to “rule the world”, they want to “end the world”.

Your world, my world, the world.
Do you understand?
Are you still in denial, are you okay with that or do you really want to save the planet?

Please stop obsessing about how evil Bush is or whether Madonna has adopted again for a second and educate yourself on this. Don’t just take my word for it, look at what the Islamic throatcutters themselves are saying at the top of their lungs.

Here’s their plan:
1- Defeat the US in Iraq and turn Iraq into an Islamic state for terrorism.
They absolutely believe that after being defeated and running from Iraq, the US
will be too weak to save Israel and too weak to save itself.
2- Destroy Israel.
They are absolutely dedicated to the destruction of Israel and killing of all Jews
3- Destroy the oil supply to America and the free world.
Oil is their weapon and gift from Allah to defeat the great Satan (America) with.
4- Take back all Islamic territory, restore Babylon and unite the world against the US.
5- Watch America die from repeated terrorist attacks and no
Oil, while slaughtering all the remaining infidels by any means possible.
6- Welcome the return of the “12th Imam” (and the messiah).
7- “Live happily ever after” in heaven (with the virgins) for all eternity.

Now,
they are not going to just “go-away” and leave us alone. It doesn’t matter what our foreign policy is, their foreign policy is to “Kill the Infidels”. Islamic countries around the globe are teaching this religious philosophy to their children in schools called Madrassas. Go to any Muslim country and you will find an 8 year old that knows one thing in life, that is the phrase “Death to America” (even at their own death) is their destiny.

Now imagine millions of them with one purpose in life- the destruction of America and all humans on the planet to welcome the end of time.

There are in fact billions of Muslims around the world, the large majority of them have no desire to accomplish the above. This insanity can all be stopped by that majority at any time- if -they have the courage and the will.

If we are to avoid the worst World War this planet has ever seen and the extreme bloodshed and death ahead, the so-called peaceful Muslim majority MUST eliminate the evil cult elements living among them. If the majority of Muslims TRULY want peace, it is theirs to take. If they allow the “cult within” to grow and control them, then they too shall find themselves labeled as infidels and dealt with accordingly.

If it comes to that place, America WILL fight, make no mistake about it, but millions will die and the fight will make the battles in Iraq look like police skirmishes.

What MUST America and Americans do to avoid WWIII and worse?

1-We MUST win the war in Iraq understand that the Shia/Shiite are part of a much larger plan/problem and make sure Iraq does NOT turn into “terror incorporated”.
2-We MUST support the elected governments in Lebanon, Afghanistan and other countries struggling to become democratic.
America can continue to be that “shining city on the hill” to the rest of the world by standing up for liberty and freedom.
3-We MUST defeat this horrible “cancer” which grows on our planet and threatens all life …but the longer we avoid it, (or ignore it) the harder the job becomes.
4-At home we can be more aware and supportive of the war and effort of our military now that we know the REST OF THE STORY.

Forget about whether Saddam had WMD’s or not, it doesn’t matter now. It doesn't matter if Iraq is in a civil war or not. What matters is what we do with Iraq now and whether we let this cult turn it into WWIII and worse.
You can stop the comparisons to Vietnam and stop pretending/hoping we are losing.
We can all be proud of the FACT that America represents the best hope the world has to avoid a fate far worse than any global warming predictions.

So, if you love this planet (and you do) and want to protect it from destruction by evil men (and you do), then start by dealing with these guys. They plan to burn more fossil fuels in the next few years than has been burned in the entire history of fire much less by the internal combustion engine.

Get onboard and “Save the Planet/Win WWIII” (before it starts). The seals and polar Bears and spotted whatevers are counting on you.

Just Another Isolated Incident

According to most reports the OU Bomber (Joel Hinrichs) was just a confused kid totally unrelated to terrorism and his death was just an isolated incident- perhaps even a mistake.
"He was depressed" is the phrase you hear used to explain his wearing a bomb to a football game.
The fact that Hinrichs had recently converted to Islam and had terrorist bombmaking information and materials in his dorm room and had tried to buy large quantities of fertilizer is considered just a "coincidence". (BTW- he wasn't involved in agriculture)

And in another "totally isolated incident", his Brother Thomas Hinrichs was arrested in Colorado Springs last week for threatening an FBI agent and assaulting his own Father.
The arrest came just a few weeks after the one year anniversary of his brothers "suicide bombing gone bad" outside a packed football stadium in Norman Oklahoma on October 1st 2005.
Police who arrested the younger Hinrichs said he had a Romanian-made assault rifle, ammunition, a military helmet, a ballistic vest, a knife, knee pads, a flashlight and other gear in his car and was carrying another knife at the time of the arrest.

If convicted of threatening a federal officer, Hinrichs could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and be fined up to $250,000.

It's a good thing they got him off the street before he had a "coincidence gone bad".
Keep your eyes and ears open folks.

Red's Links for Libs

After getting severely scorned for not using more "links" (to back-up my opinions) by a smalltime local liberal blogger, I decided to do this post because it does raise an interesting point.

Note: I intentionally usually do NOT take the lazy way out by simply linking to a bunch of stories by other bloggers and the main-steam-media (which is broken). I post MY opinions based on information (and a few links) which is easily googled and confirmed or refuted, if you are really concerned.
If you notice my header it say's
Red Stater News and Views "ACCORDING to Red Stater". (not according to Airhead America)
The blog world (and news world) is entirely based on "the facts" (according to someone) and "the truth" (according to somebody). Nothing is absolute when you are relying on facts based on someone else's account. One needs to look a other sides to a story in order to form an opinion and not just posting useless, mindless links to prop up your agenda.
Now having said that, it is great to provide a few links for reference or background, but too many bloggers (according to me) cherry-pick too many stories from like-minded bloggers off of the AP or other news service and end up "cloning" every other political news blog out there.
Face-it you are NEVER going to beat Matt Drudge, so why not express YOUR interpretation of the news and events of the day rather than pretending you are Dan (Rather)?
This is the only "link" I really need, since I am writing about "Red Stater" opinions.

But here you go, this set of special helpful "links" is for you. Hope it makes you feel better - Enjoy.

Broken Media is Worse than "Broken"

I thought the media was broken, (Oct 06 post) but turns out it's worse than that.
The folks over at Flopping Aces have done an excellent job of putting together clear evidence that the American News Media is giving us large doses of enemy propaganda without disclaimers or balance to affect our view on the war.

Reports which are totally unconfirmed are being fed to us as "fact".
The news media is reporting that 4 or more Mosques were destroyed in Bahdad and several people were set on fire with gasoline or kerosene when in fact only one Mosque was attacked and not destroyed and the reports of the burnings are without any confirmation by any responsible news or government official.

It turns out that AP is getting a large number of it's unconfirmed reports directly from the terrorist group Hamas and also from enemy combatants inside Iraq. The American News Media is more than happy to report the stories as factual which serves the terrorists just fine.

Who is "Capt." Jamil Hussein and why is he listed as the sole source in a number of stories about Shiite attacks on Sunnis?
The Iraqi police, the Iraqi Army and US centcom is unable to confirm his authenticity so far.

If you doubt that that AP, NY Times, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC and the rest are "in bed" with the enemy, read THIS .

It is time for Americans to stand up and reform the Main Stream "drive-by" Media before they destroy the very freedom that allows them to be such "useful idiots".

Reform the horribly Broken Media (before it's too late).

-Red
UPDATE: 11/27/06- Flopping Aces and Michelle Malkin are hot on the trail of the source(s) of the propaganda and also the News reporters involved. Read all about it... here.

MSNBC (and NBC) is using these fake reports as justification for deciding that Iraq is indeed in a all-out "civil war" in their statement this morning.
How do YOU spell treason?

UPDATES III & IV- 11/29/06 -A new letter from CENTCOM states that Iraqi officials will announce that there is no Captain Jamil Hussein working for the Iraqi police. The Associated Press has been reporting fake stories from a fake police officer which supports the terrorists.
AP "News" has been caught RED handed but they are "proud" of their work.

UPDATE: Boston Herald story calls for REFORM in the main stream media. "The Associated Press has lost it's Rudder"

UPDATE QUESTION: Is David Podvin the American equivalent of Jamil Hussein or just another alfranken with an "alias"?
Liberal blogs are quick to pick up his "stories" and repeat them as fact but who is David Podvin?
More to come...

Time for reform in the media.

Happy Thanksgiving to All Americans

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend and please travel safely.

One thing we all have in common is this holiday.
Nobody to offend, nobody left out, just thanks for friends, family and Country.
Here is hoping that everyone has too much to eat and too many annoying relatives in one place at one time.

My Thanksgiving wish for liberals and Democrats alike is that during the holiday they spend some time with that one redneck cousin or uncle. You know the one with the big flag decal in the back window of his pickup truck.

Go out and drink some beer, smoke a cigar, shoot some guns and laugh with him.
Maybe some of his common sense will rub off on you.
If not, you still had a great time.

(I promise to take one of my liberal relatives and do the same).

Again, be safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
See the USA in your Chevrolet!

A Note To The President

Mr. President,
our prayers are with you.
Stand strong in your beliefs and convictions, the cause is just.

Polls be damned, Democrats too.
You have been charged with the task of something only a few men on this planet have been faced with. (Saving the free world)
Keep fighting the fight, supporting the troops and delivering the message.
We are at war, this is WWIII, we must WIN.

These extremist religious cults have taken a lesson from earlier conflicts and employed the use of "useful idiots" in this country to bring about the defeat of this country.
These "Americans" want power so badly they are willing to sell their souls (and ours) to get it.

These cults have taken a lesson from the American liberal media which is ...film terrorist recruiting videos and they will air it as "news".

Most Red Staters see right through these tactics, but unfortunately the hatred that is blinding liberals and Democrats allows them to believe YOU are the enemy, not the terrorists who want to kill them. Stand strong.

We know that Iraq has become a vital component of the war against Al Qaeda, and we know the only way America can lose is to quit. Our military is the finest on the planet and certainly cannot be defeated by a few thousand thugs with video cameras and some explosives.
Do not quit.
Do not "cut and run".

Stay the course if the course is victory.
Win this war, the world is counting on you.
So, tell James Baker and all the rest that there is only ONE possible scenario for Iraq.
VICTORY.
How we get there is open to discussion, but where we are going is NOT.

Democrats may have won a majority in congress (barely), but YOU still make the policy and YOU are still the Commander in Chief.
Lead us to victory in your final two years, it is your destiny.

God Bless you,
-Red

To Democrats and liberals:
Put down your Vietnam protest signs and decide which side you are on before it's too late. (and don't give me that protecting the constitution balony, there won't be a US constitution if you and the terrorists get your way)

Global Warming?

According to Red Stater

The Earth is currently getting warmer. That’s true.

It has done so before, and gotten cooler also and probably will again.
Earth’s climate goes through cycles (obviously) since there are now deserts where glaciers used to be and glaciers where tropical forests used to be and so on.

The planet wobbles on its axis as it orbits the sun, changing the angle of the sun, the climate and much more. The Earth’s orbit is not perfect (sorry). Warming and cooling are a part of the living planet on which we reside.

The sun itself is currently the most active in over 300 years which scientists now say impacts increased temperatures here on the “3^rd Rock” more than greenhouse gasses and could be the actual cause of global warming.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/56456.stm and http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA203.html

The Earth also has incredible self-healing capacity beyond our comprehension. If you don’t believe it, go up in the mountains and visit an old ghost town. There are plenty of towns which once boomed with gold and whiskey and music less than 100 years ago. You will rarely be able to tell many ever existed at all. Nature has reclaimed what man temporarily constructed and left behind.
There is no reason to believe that this is the first hole in the ozone layer and no reason not to believe that as the cycles change (again) and the earth tilts and wobbles the other way (again) and the Sun’s intensity lessens (again) that the hole in the ozone fixes itself (again) as nature intended (again).

But let’s say (just for the sake of conversation) the lefty environmentalists are correct that a hole in the ozone layer caused by CO2, Methane, N2O and other greenhouse gases from our cars is causing global warming and only we can stop it.
(apparently by driving a corn/soy/hydrogen powered *Ford Pinto)

According to the American Institute of Physics, (and others) massive amounts of greenhouse gasses were around long before fossil fuels were being used as in “forever”.

http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html and http://www.aip.org/history/climate/othergas.htm

In fact, “natural causes” account for about 95% of all greenhouse gases, and “man-related causes” account for about 5%.

Of the 5% caused by man, about 30% is from agriculture (fertilizer and crops) and about 45% is from Coal based power and industrial emissions.

A whopping 1% of all greenhouse gases is caused by cars, home heating, airlines, etc.

ONE PERCENT.

And of that 1%, much less than half is from America.

So, even if we eliminated ALL sources of manmade greenhouse gasses on the planet, 95% of the greenhouse gasses being emitted would still exist.
If we eliminated all cars in America, 99.6+% of the greenhouse gasses would still be present.

Environmentalists and liberals are trying to convince Americans to drive a golf cart to work, when it will have zero effect on the other 99% of the problem?
No thanks.

If you want to stop global warming caused by greenhouse gases, eliminate water vapor, stop the cows and all animals from emitting methane, stop the rice patties and swamps from emitting methane and other gases, stop all decomposition of organic material, stop the oceans from emitting CO2 and the volcanoes from emitting everything, stop foreign industry from polluting and do something about that nasty wobble in our orbit around the sun while you’re at it. When you finish the above, figure out how to make the sun burn at a consistent rate and intensity to keep us all at a perfect 72 degrees all the time.

Then come back and talk to me about driving an electric/hydrogen/soy/corn/rubberband powered *Pinto or whatever.

* The Ford Pinto was the solution for America’s addiction to muscle cars, big engines and gasoline during the 1970’s gas shortage/environmental crisis. It was made of plastic, had a 4 cyl engine, got great gas mileage (about 30mpg) and exploded into flames if hit from the rear at more than 10mph.

You can see a Ford Pinto any weekend at your local drag strip with a big V8 stuffed under the little hood, lots of tubing to strengthen the frame, a set of big slicks on the rear and a fuel cell in the hatchback trunk that gets about 1gal per ¼ mile for mileage and carries a fire extinguisher on board.

You can currently get a 1960’s muscle-car like a Hemi Cuda or ’69 Camaro for around $1million at the Barrett Jackson car show or you can get what’s left of a 1974 Pinto at your local salvage yard for about $300.

UPDATE: 11/27/06- Algore's big blockbuster movie about global warming causing more hurricanes is more of a "Inconvenient little lie" than it is truth, read about it here. (if you dare)

And then there is this guy who says we've got to stop all use of fossil fuels now or the planet will be reduced to about 500 million people in the next few decades. Of course on page 2 of the reuters story he says that the earth has done this 6 or 7 times already for sure. The last time was the last Ice Age. He failed to mention how they got the "Cavemen" to stop using fossil fuels before fossils or fuels were even "invented" however.

UPDATE II: The Supreme Court will now decide whether the government should lable CO2 as a pollutant and regulate CO2 emissions.
Carbon Dioxide.
They stuff we exhale.
The stuff every living thing exhales.
A naturally occuring element.
Regulate it.
(lol) So liberals finally figured out a way to tax breathing.
While they are at it, they should regulate the amount of HOT AIR coming out of liberals lately... that could be the cause of global warming right there.
UPDATE III: 12/10/06- UN downgrades man's effect on environment as report concludes that COW'S have a much greater impact on GLOBAL WARMING than humans.

Liberal Blogs

LIBERAL BLOGGERS are the WORST (offenders of Free Speech)

Visit most liberal political blogs and you will find that those who claim to be all about the “exchange of ideas” and progressive thinking, don’t actually allow ANY dissenting (conservative) views to be “exchanged” on those blogs.

Those that do allow “conservative trolls” (opposing views) to comment, quickly find a reason to ban them from posting. (see my archived post “Take a Walk on the Wild Side”)

(In fact, not being able to respond to some of the outrageous things I read on liberal blogs was what motivated me to put together this blog “Red Stater” in the first place. They might ban me from posting on their blogs, but they can’t ban me from posting on MY blog. -yet)

They will usually remove you from their discourse for what they call “hate speech and personal attacks”. Then they will proceed to write hateful things about you and attack you personally knowing you can’t respond in kind.

Liberals seem to think that any disagreement with their point of view is a hate-speech, and therefore must be banned.
Pointing out examples of liberal or Democrat failed policies is “a personal attack”.
However, calling all Republicans liars, corrupt or racists is considered “disagreeing with their policies”.

They even have their little code-words to tell each other when a conservative posts a comment such as “elvis” (as in, leave the building) which was the signal at Air America Place Blogs to tell the “in-crowd” to move to another thread and leave the “troll” there by him/her self, so they are not subjected to any other views.

During the elections last week, I “visited” a few local liberal Blogs like Okie Funk and responded to 3 or 4 posts regarding Christian scandals, Republican scandals and Republican corruption. It was easy to point out that those are people problems not exclusive to any group or political party. Democrats have their share of problems too.
I received an e-mail from someone asking me “to stop bombarding him with hateful personal attacks” and I was told to never post at Okie Funk again. (my comments were never actually posted)

Wow, Okie must be in a Funk because he doesn’t have very many people that comment on his blog if 3 or 4 comments is a bombardment.

The truth is that liberals (like Okie Funk) can’t even stand for ONE conservative comment to reach daylight, much less 3 or 4.

And this is the Blog that won some kind of an award? (lol)

To liberals, just being conservative means you are a “hater”.
Examples:

Being pro-life means that you HATE women.

Wanting lower taxes means that you HATE the poor.

Claiming that marriage is between a man and a woman, means that you HATE gays.

Wanting to protect the border and enforce our immigration laws means you are A RACIST WHO HATES all immigrants.

Wanting America to succeed in the middle-east means you are a corrupt, oil-sucking, warmongering, chicken-hawk that HATES Muslims.

Believing in God means you HATE everyone who doesn’t and that you want the government to force everyone else to believe in God too.

And on and on.

To liberals, everyone is “a hater” (except other liberals of course).
Meanwhile, Liberal bloggers post day after day, outrageous lies, stories, commentary, editorials and slanderous comments about President Bush and Conservatives (to which there is more than one side) and see nothing wrong with it. They even lie to themselves when they claim they don’t hate President Bush, they just “disagree with his policies”.

(lol)
How lame is it to post your political opinions on your Blog, provide a “comments” board for people to respond, -then only allow comments that agree with yours?

From the big-time Air America/Al Franken Blogs all the way down to little local blogs like Okie Funk, they are mere “tools”.

“Useful idiots” as the Communists called the anti-war hippies (Democrats) in the ‘60’s.
Today it’s the terrorist Islamic throat-cutters who are cheering Democrats and liberal bloggers on.
The useful idiots can all dish it out, but when it comes to taking it, forget it. Ban it.

Here’s a suggestion for all you so called “progressive bloggers” out there:

1: Either don’t allow comments at all (which is fine) or add a disclaimer to your blog.

“This blog does not allow for dissenting/opposing views to be posted in the comments”.

Like my liberal parody http://airheadamericaradio.blogspot.com Blog. (see disclaimer at bottom of Airhead America Radio Blogs)

OR
2: If you Weblog your political views in order to actually have an exchange of different (diverse) ideas and perhaps bring the country together on at least ONE SINGLE ISSUE, then shouldn’t you allow for dissenting opinion in the discussion? (as long as it’s clean and on topic)

OR
3: If you Weblog your views so fellow lib’s can agree with you, comment on how smart you are, how corrupt Bush is to look smart to each other and divide the country further, just say so.

Here is Red Stater’s disclaimer for commenting on Red Stater’s comments:

Keep it clean, in the realm of reality and as an exchange of honest opinions or it will be removed. Simple. All are welcome.
Spam and ads will be removed of course.

UPDATE:11/20

ELECTION SCAM EXPOSED BY RANGEL (D) NY

“VOTE OR DIE” ELECTION SCAM EXPOSED BY RANGEL (D) NY

Well, the Democrats have exposed themselves once again as the liars they are.

If you recall the 2004 Presidential election, there was a big push by the Democrats targeting the 18-25 year old vote.

It was called "Vote or Die".
Numerous Democrat leaders claimed that if re-elected George W Bush had a "Secret Draft" planned to send more troops to die in illegal wars (like Iraq).

Thus, "Vote (Democrat) or Die".
Hip-hop artists and MTV got the "word" out to young potential Democrat voters, "Vote or Die".
Young people (above) were "used" by Democrats to spread the message of fear.

Bush was re-elected anyway in ‘04 and guess what?
No Draft. Bush never planned a draft and supports a strong, proud, volunteer military.

The troops love their Commander In Chief, the feeling is mutual and it shows.

In fact, it was Democrat Congressman Charley Rangel (NY) who had proposed legislation to impose a military draft in 2003, and Charley Rangel (NY) who voted against his own Bill (which went down in flames).

But, during the recent 2006 midterms there was no warning from Democrats for young men and women to "Vote or Die", …why not?

Had Bush abandoned his “secret plan”?

DEMOCRAT SCAM
It turns out that it was the Democrat party that had a "secret draft" planned (if elected to power). Merry Christmas to all the 18 year olds from your newly elected Democrat majority. (and happy new year to all the 17 year olds too)
The new Democrat Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee (Rangel) is proposing to reinstate the military draft- again and this time, he says he means it.

This, in spite of virtually every military expert saying that a volunteer military is far superior in every way to a drafted military.
In spite of the fact that all of the armed forces have exceeded their recruitment goals (even while a war is going on).
And in spite of the fact that it was Democrats who claimed Bush was going to draft them into the military, but now it is the Democrats who now want to do just that.

Their claims that a volunteer military is comprised of the poor and uneducated are not supported by the facts. The military has a higher educational average than the rest of the country by a significant margin. Many of the troops are from upper middle class and above income level families and most join to serve their country not for the money.

Democrats politicians seem to want to put people in the military who are anti-military/anti war, so then there might be a few Democrats in uniform to vote for them.

Pathetic but typical (insane).

Required Reading for Democrats Part 2

The Iraq Liberation Act

October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release

October 31, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Today I am signing into law H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998." This Act makes clear that it is the sense of the Congress that the United States should support those elements of the Iraqi opposition that advocate a very different future for Iraq than the bitter reality of internal repression and external aggression that the current regime in Baghdad now offers.

Let me be clear on what the U.S. objectives are: The United States wants Iraq to rejoin the family of nations as a freedom-loving and law-abiding member. This is in our interest and that of our allies within the region.

The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life.

My Administration has pursued, and will continue to pursue, these objectives through active application of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. The evidence is overwhelming that such changes will not happen under the current Iraq leadership.

In the meantime, while the United States continues to look to the Security Council's efforts to keep the current regime's behavior in check, we look forward to new leadership in Iraq that has the support of the Iraqi people. The United States is providing support to opposition groups from all sectors of the Iraqi community that could lead to a popularly supported government.

On October 21, 1998, I signed into law the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, which made $8 million available for assistance to the Iraqi democratic opposition. This assistance is intended to help the democratic opposition unify, work together more effectively, and articulate the aspirations of the Iraqi people for a pluralistic, participa--tory political system that will include all of Iraq's diverse ethnic and religious groups. As required by the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 1998 (Public Law 105-174), the Department of State submitted a report to the Congress on plans to establish a program to support the democratic opposition. My Administration, as required by that statute, has also begun to implement a program to compile information regarding allegations of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes by Iraq's current leaders as a step towards bringing to justice those directly responsible for such acts.

The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 provides additional, discretionary authorities under which my Administration can act to further the objectives I outlined above. There are, of course, other important elements of U.S. policy. These include the maintenance of U.N. Security Council support efforts to eliminate Iraq's weapons and missile programs and economic sanctions that continue to deny the regime the means to reconstitute those threats to international peace and security. United States support for the Iraqi opposition will be carried out consistent with those policy objectives as well. Similarly, U.S. support must be attuned to what the opposition can effectively make use of as it develops over time. With those observations, I sign H.R. 4655 into law.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 31, 1998.

Required Reading For Democrats

The following speech demonstrates what Democrats today have forgotten or simply abandonded.

"We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge--and more.

To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do--for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope
to find them strongly supporting their own freedom--and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge--to convert our good words into good deeds--in a new alliance for progress--to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support--to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective--to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak--and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.

Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.

We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.
But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course--both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that
stays the hand of mankind's final war.

So let us begin anew--remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to "undo the heavy burdens . . . (and) let the oppressed go free."

And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet.

But let us begin.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to
service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"--a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?
Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.
I do not shrink from this responsibility--I welcome it.
I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it--and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own".

Merry Christmas to Walmart

HOW DARE WALMART?

Just when Democrats were telling everyone that the government has to take over the healthcare system to bring down costs, a private company has the audacity to roll-out a $4 generic prescription drug program across 38 US states (including OKLAHOMA).

All prescription drugs available in generic brand are only $4. “Regular price $4”

How rude.

Doesn’t Walmart know that only the great and powerful “GOVERNMENT” is able to affect costs in healthcare and help the people having trouble affording medicines?
Only the wise healthcare guru known as “Hillary” has the power to lower healthcare costs. Walmart must be punished for this treasonous act.

How is the left going to spin this as bad for America?

They are outraged, make no mistake about it so they will find something to be angry at Walmart about.

To add insult to injury, Walmart is also launching a nation-wide CHRISTMAS sale with extra reduction in prices of Christmas toys, clothes and Christmas items claimed to be the largest in their history and by the way the Walmart greeters will be saying “Merry Christmas” this year.

“Ouch” I’ll bet that hurts the liberal “secular progressives”…(Democrats)

Thanks Walmart,

You are a great American company.

Merry Christmas to you too.

We Need Bi-Partisan Cooperation

DEMOCRATS CALL FOR “BI-PARTISAN COOPERATION” FROM REPUBLICANS… How Nice.

Democrat House Speaker Nancy (“Bush is a Liar”) Pelosi, Senate leader Harry (“Bush is an idiot”) Reid and party chairman (but not official spokesman) Howard (“Republicans are all evil”) Dean called for “bipartisan cooperation” and an “end to negative rhetoric” and dirty politics following the big Democratic win.

Sure, Okay, no problem. "Bi-Partisan" you say?

How about the same kind of Bi-Partisan cooperation you have provided President Bush and Republicans with for the past 6 years?

Would that be a good example to use as a template for "Bi-Partisanship"?

So, lets begin the “Bi-partisan” "cooperation".

Together let’s solve the problems below, shall we?

Please allow me to “disagree with your policies”, as you Democrats love to say.

LIARS:

Democrats and liberals are pathological liars.

They lie to themselves, to each other, to minorities, to the poor, to the sick, to all of us.

Democrats are corrupt, power-hungry self centered, egotistical, shallow, “holier than thou”, part-time religious, part-time atheists, who believe it is their RIGHT to be in power.

Democrats preach tolerance but are not tolerant of anyone who disagrees.

Any view that opposes Democrats view is attacked as "Neanderthal" or Racist and any person that disagrees is slandered and professionally destroyed. (unless they win a vital Senate seat in Connecticut)

Democrats "debate" opponents by calling everyone else a liar that doesn’t agree with them.

Meanwhile, Democrats lie, change their position, say or do anything, lie some more and change their position again to get elected, even if it damages America. (“I voted for the $87Bil before I voted against it”)

Democrats lie to the terminally ill and sick people by claiming to have cures for incurable diseases (“if only Democrats could get elected, Parkinsons disease would be cured”).

Democrats have lied to minorities during 50 straight years of total legislative control and never helped anyone but themselves. Democrats claim there are more poor people than ever before. If so, they are a total failure and should apologize to millions of Americans they betrayed and reconsider the “failed policies” of the Democrat party.

RACISTS, CORRUPT LIARS

Democrats are the racists by using race to divide Americans and get Democrats elected.

Republicans don’t care what color you are, you have exactly the same rights as everyone else. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Civil Rights legislation in the 1960’s was presented by the then minority party… the Republicans, and passed by both parties.

Democrats lie to poor people and never help them. (50 years of control, there should be no poor people, but then Democrats would be out of business)

Democrats are corrupt. They steal, cheat, lie and use the sick, poor and minorities to gain power and then keep them there, …Hoping and voting, voting and hoping… forever.

Democrats built their power and personal wealth of off the hopes of the poor and minorities that have remained enslaved under Democrat slavery for generations.

The real “culture of corruption” is found in the Democrat party, Republicans are small-time compared to Democrats.

Democrats attempted to steal the 2000 election by counting invalid votes that could not be counted in Florida and NOT COUNTING military votes from US troops serving outside the US.

Democrats tried to steal the 2004 election by signing up fake voters via AACORN.

Democrats stole the 2006 mid-term elections by signing up dead people to vote 3 or 4 times via different addresses and other methods of fraud and media cooperation which suppressed Republican voters.

TRAITORS?

Were Democrats behind the September 11^th attacks to get even with Bush for stealing the election?

Did Democrats know about the September 11^th attacks but did nothing to stop it?

Can Democrats prove that they weren’t behind the attacks or didn’t know about them in advance”)

Did Clinton let Bin Laden go free because he knew the attacks wouldn't come until after he was out of office? (PR over National Security)

If Bush lied, then Democrats “lied” about Iraq too (voted for the war and claimed Saddam had WMD). Did BOTH parties lie to go to war for oil?

Did the Democrats blow up the levies in New Orleans and blame it on Bush?

What did Mayor Nagen know and when did he know it?

Democrat campaign finance money missing. Where is all the money Howard?

Why did the FBI find $90,000.00 cash in Democrat congressman William Jefferson’s freezer?

WHAT WAR?

Democrats actually side with the terrorists to avoid agreeing with Bush.

Democrat policies support Terrorists rights over Americans rights.

Democrats are creating more terrorists by encouraging them to win in Iraq.

And why are terrorists cheering Democrats winning control of the Legislature?

Democrats provide terrorists with untapped phone calls to the US.

Why don’t Democrats want America to win the war?

Why don’t Democrats admit we are even in a war?

BABIES KILLING BABIES

Democrats want 13 year old girls to be able to get an abortion without parental notification.

Democrats favor abortion over birth control education.

Democrats support illegal immigration, free healthcare and open borders. C’mon in! (vote Democrat)

Democrats are nothing but a bunch of communists, socialists and Hollywood liberals and a few honest old-school Democrats all rolled into one nasty mess. (with apologies to any honest old-school Democrats out there)

THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES

Liberals and the News Media (same thing) fooled just enough voters into thinking they were electing a JFK (John F Kennedy) type Democrat party but what we got is a jfk (John F Kerry) type Democrat party in control.

Welcome to the United States of France.

God help us.

There, that was nice.

How was that for BI-partisanship?

Oh, you meant non-partisanship?

Wow, That’s totally different.

Sorry, it’s too late for non-partisanship you bunch of hypocritical liars.

You should have proposed that about 5 or 6 years ago.

Congratulations U.S. ARMY

Lets take a break from politics for a second.... shall we?

DRAG RACING STILL GROWING STRONGER AND GOING FASTER
If you missed it, (ESPN2 Sunday Night) you missed the most exciting and unbelievable finish to end the season and determine a champion in motorsports racing history this past weekend from Pomona CA.

Tony Schumacher and the U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster fought back from over 300 points behind in the last half of the season just to be in position to win his 3^rd NHRA Championship in a row in front of a standing room only crowd buzzing with excitement even before the final run.

After miraculously making it to the finals over several top teams, Schumacher still needed to win the race AND set a new NHRA ¼ mile world record to have just enough points to win the championship from Doug Kalitta, who came in to the final event with a 45 point lead in the Championship points series.

Just winning the event would fall short by a few points and no Top Fuel team had set a world record at this event in almost a decade.
But the conditions had been better than usual all weekend, and the Army team went for it.

With over 8,000 Horsepower a dragster can overpower any track surface easily and smoke the tires. The trick is to apply as much horsepower as possible without applying too much, sort of like driving on ice in a 2-wheeldrive pickup. (Sorta’).
As the car gains speed and “down-force” on the wing and tires (over 2,000lbs at 300mph), they can apply more horsepower, and so on… as long as they don’t get too greedy where the track will give-up the grip, ending the run in smoke (and a wild ride)

Tony Schumacher, Allen Johnson (crewchief/genius), and the US Army team loaded the Army Top Fuel Dragster for bear and came through with a historic, mind-numbing 4.428 second ET (335 Mph) to win the event, set the world record and thus, win his 3^rd NHRA World Championship in a ROW.

20 points and NHRA world records don’t come easy.

The last time the NHRA Top Fuel record was set was back in October of 2005 (Chicago) and you guessed it, Tony set it at an asphalt melting 4.437 seconds in the ¼ mile. Schumacher also holds the NHRA speed world record at 336.16 MPH.

Back in Drag Racing's Golden era, during the 1960’s Don Garlits shaved his beard in the winners circle after declaring he would not shave until he ran in the sixes earlier in the season. After winning rounds in the low 7’s all day, he went a 6.77 in the final round at Indy and broke-out the burma-shave.

During the early 1970’s, a study (published in Car Craft magazine) concluded that dragsters had reached the limits of physics, adhesion and friction as well as human endurance at six seconds and 200 mph.

The AA/FD record was held by “Big Daddy” Don Garlits at a 5.62 second Elapsed Time for almost a decade during the late 70’s and early 80’s. The records continue to fall to this day in spite of numerous rules and even a reduction in fuel percentage designed to slow them down.

Drag racing is the ONLY major racing motorsport that is still going faster and faster and faster.
NASCAR speed records haven’t been set since the 1985 (Bill Elliot), Indycar as well hasn’t gone faster since the 1980’s.

It is a big deal to set an NHRA record anytime, much less in the final race of the season to win the championship. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Congratulations to Tony Schumacher (T/F)4x, John Force(F/C) 14x, Jason Line(P/S) and Andrew Hines(P/S-M)3x all the 2006 NHRA POWERade Champions. (full story)

NHRA doesn’t need to change their point structure to be more like NASCAR.
Maybe NASCAR might want to watch the replay on ESPN2 of how a season championship can be exciting without being “manufactured”….I’m just sayin’.

Terrorists Cheer for Democrat Win

Al Jazeera (and others) report that Islamic radicals in the middle-east are praising American voters for “defeating and rejecting Bush’s failed policies” following yesterday’s midterm elections.
This is all that really needs to be said about yesterday’s big Democrat victory(s), (UPDATE: but here's more)

But I can’t resist digging deeper.

How miserable is your political party when you have the enemy of your country cheering for your victrory as a sign that they have won the "hearts and minds" of Americans?

Terrorists are cheering because Democrats have been championing their cause since 2003 and they believe all of the Democrat rhetoric and benefit from it. (Is the above photo from Al Jazeera or a Democrat rally?)

Islamic throat-cutting fascists know that a Democrat win is a win for Islamic throat-cutting fascists.

How so? They have been doing this for a while now.

They believed Democrats when they said “this is a war America cannot win”.

They believe Democrats when they say America must get out of Iraq (cut and run) ASAP.

They agree with John Kerry and think our troops are uneducated idiots.

They agree with Democrats who want to let them phone America without the CIA/NSA/FBI etc listening in on their calls.

They love the fact that Democrats want to give them a free lawyer and full US citizenship rights if captured while trying to kill US troops.

They repeat Democrat talking points (almost word for word) in their speeches when they say that America is the problem in the world and should concentrate on our own healthcare system and feeding the poor instead of the war on terror in Iraq.

What is this so-called New Direction?
If siding with the enemy of America during a time of war is Democrats idea of a “New Direction” then “God help us”.

How can Democrats be proud when their victory is considered even more of a victory by America’s enemy? (Islamic throat-cutting fascists)

It’s easy to understand why terrorists would support Democrats, but why would American voters?

"Props" go to CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Whoopie Goldberg, Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnell, The Dixie Chicks, Bill Mahr, Al Franken, Michael Moore and the NY Times and virtually every other liberal newspaper.(All of whom are cheering along with the terrorists)

Now, what happens if America doesn’t live-up to Democrats promises to “cut and run”?

The problem is that liberals in America have eagerly let yourselves be used as “useful Idiots” in order to bring down Bush.The plan is to kill you along with the rest of us when the time comes.

Yesterday was a victory for all of you useful idiots who claim to be smarter than everyone else and a victory for the terrorists who played you like idiots against your own government.

Congratulations on your "victory".

One other interesting note:
Democrats and all the news media talking about nothing but rampant voter fraud and problems with the voting process for days and even on election day right up until the time Democrats started winning, then suddenly no further mention by anyone anywhere of ANY problems with the count. Hmmmmmm
Had Democrats lost, we would be knee-deep in lawyers right now.
I'm just sayin'...

The Old Oklahoma "Option Right"

Oklahoma makes history and runs to the right as the rest of the country get's faked-out and goes left.
Classic option football and now, Oklahoma politics!

It took 100 years for Oklahomans to climb out of Democratic ruled oppression in the state Legislature, but Republicans achieved a tie in the State Senate along with solid control of the state House and loosened Democrats grip down to a single (tiebreaker) thread.

Congratulations to Governor Henry(D).
Having a nice, soft spoken, non confrontave Governor is fine, (personally I'd rather have more of a leader for Oklahma values) but I'll take the Republican House control and the Senate (tie).
Yes the Lt. Gov is a Democrat and will be the tie-breaker- okay.
So,
make the Lt. Gov.vote to NOT enforcing Oklahoma's (and America's) immigration laws or to end free college tuition, schools and healthcare for those in Oklahoma illegally.

Make the Lt. Gov. vote NOT to protect marriage between "man and woman".
or vote YES to allow 13 year old minors to get an abortion without parental concent,
or make her vote YES for partial birth abortions in Oklahoma.

Or "No" lawsuit reform.
Or "No" property rights,
Or "No" Home-schooling and/or Vouchers.
Or YES on higher Oklahoma taxes.

Make her break a tie and vote against Oklahomans on those issues and one more...
How about finally (after 100 years of Democrat produced roads) making the Lt. Gov vote to NOT paving Oklahoma's roads and to NOT repairing them? (Good grief they are bad)

Congratulations to Oklahomans for moving forward with a Republican Legislature for the first time in history. This move will launch Oklahoma into it's next 100 years with a brighter economic future while holding true Oklahoma values a priority.

While the rest of America was getting faked-out to the left by the liberal media on the war and on values, Oklahomans not only stayed strong, but got stronger.
Congratulations to Mary Fallin(R) be strong, you will need it.
Congratulations Oklahoma!

Are You Voting To "Cut and Run" Tomorrow?

Will you be Voting to “Cut and Run” tomorrow?

Polls show Americans favor “cut and run” plan of Democrats by a large margin.
We shall see.

If you are part of the “get out of Iraq” crowd and will be voting on Tuesday, this is for you.

IMPROVED IMAGE:
Do you honestly believe that after removing a brutal dictator and tearing apart his corrupt government, we should pull out and let that country be taken over by Islamic throat-cutters (yes, I called them throat-cutters) and erupt into an actual real live “civil war” (or worse)?

This is your idea of “changing America’s foreign policy”?

This is your idea of improving America’s image and making friends in the world?

This is the Democrat plan, folks. Vote for it or vote against it, but know that’s it.

According to all the leading Democrats, getting out of Iraq is more important than finishing the job of securing and rebuilding Iraq.

According to Democrats there is no radical Islamic war being waged on America. Democrats believe the Islamic throat-cutters will suddenly just disappear from Iraq the moment US troops leave since they claim the throat-cutters and gut-splatterers are only in Iraq because American troops are in Iraq. The Throat-cutters say they are in Iraq for a much higher cause than that. Democrats have disconnected from reality as a result of their hatred and outright obsessive rage for George W Bush.

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT:
“Bush Rage” is a blinding light so bright, that once infected by it, you can’t stop looking at it and as a result you are blinded from seeing anything else, except in that light.

Bush rage is highly contagious to those susceptible to peer pressure and is almost incurable. The light is so bright and appealing and the hatred is so strong and fun.

COME AWAY FROM THE LIGHT...
It takes an open mind and the ability to consider for even a moment that you might be infected with something. Look away from the W for just a moment. I urge you to “come out of that light” for a second for the sake of the country and see a different world in a different light.

NOT A CIVIL WAR, …(yet)
If you believe an all-out civil war is going on in Iraq, first you aren’t listening to anything but Democrat talking points, and/or the throat-cutters talking points, or perhaps you don’t know about the Kurds who control about 1/3 of Iraq just fine, or maybe you don’t understand what an all-out civil war really looks like, or perhaps your crazed hatred for Bush has blinded you from looking at Iraq as anything but a political weapon.

If the US troops leave Iraq now, then you will see what a real civil war really looks like. It will make today’s Iraq look like a picnic at the beach.

Is there a Civil War in America?
Of course not, but yet American born thugs, gangs and criminals slaughter many more innocent people right here in American than die in all the Iraqi vs Iraqi conflicts in Iraq- granted we are a larger country, but can you really expect more from Iraqi’s than you do of Americans in terms of killing each other?

The fact is that most of the killings of innocent Iraqi’s are the result of outside influences from Islamic throat-cutting radicals who DO want a civil war to break out. Yes the Sunnis and Shiites have “issues”, but Iraqi’s by a large majority WANT their government and country to succeed. They have formed a new government, held valid elections and voted by a much larger percentage than we do here in America and they voted in spite of the real threat of literally being killed for doing so. We cannot afford to leave these people now and let them down in their greatest moment of need and support.

Al Qaeda and other throat-cutters cannot afford for Iraq (America) to succeed. They have said so. They will do anything and everything to defeat the Americans in Iraq and take over that country. World domination is their clearly stated goal and it hinges on Iraq.

Chief throat-cutter Osama Bin Laden himself has said so, numerous times now. Al Qaeda has made their claim, which is a “final stand in Iraq to defeat America or die trying”.

Iran has also been a primary source of the outside influence of violence in Iraq and has been warned numerous times by the Untied States and the new Iraqi government.

Iran cannot afford for Iraq and America to succeed either, and has called for America’s defeat there.

MOTHER OF ALL BLUNDERS:
If the United States “cuts and runs” on the Iraqi people before the throat-cutters are wiped out, it will be the single biggest mistake in our country’s history. Our great grandchildren will still be trying to understand why we didn’t stay and keep those people from being slaughtered after being so close to winning. Our grandchildren will ask us why we quit and why we didn’t we do what was necessary to stop the Islamic throat-cutters world domination when we had the chance? Why?

Is the excuse going to be that you were so busy hating Bush that you never took the Islamic throat-cutters thing seriously?

Iraqi’s will have no choice but to believe that America was NOT their friend.

A friend would not have left them to be slaughtered by the throat-cutters after giving them the hope of freedom. Islamic Fascist throat-cutters will have no choice but to believe that America doesn’t have the courage to fight for freedom in Iraq and that America is too weak to fight for it’s own freedom as well. The rest of the world will look at Vietnam, Mogadishu and Iraq to determine the credibility of America at war.

BACK TO THE FUTURE AGAIN:
How do YOU want America to be viewed 25 years from now?

As a friend to the middle east and all freedom-peace loving people around the world who stayed until the job was done, or as a liar and betrayer of promises who is weak and vulnerable to defeat if confronted?

Will America be the country that fought for freedom or the country that betrayed freedom in the middle east?

We (voters) will decide tomorrow (and again in November of 2008) the fate of millions.

Americans will judge our decision for generations after living with the results (or lack of) in the future.

Now, if you still want to vote for us to "cut and run" on the Iraqi's, go ahead turn that Bushrage-light on again, look deeply into it and vote for your local Democrat.

Let's Make A Deal or No Deal

Not that it could ever happen, but just for open-minded discussion and in an effort to “reach out” to the other side in this politically polarized time we live in. I propose a series of 4 trades to resolve 8 issues trading from right to left and from left to right.
For the sake of time and space, the trades proposed below are in short form, realizing there are always contingencies and details. I tried to keep the trades relevant and provide something for each side of similar importance.

Please consider each of these trades on it’s face value and answer…
So, let’s play “Let's make a Deal or No Deal”

Deal or No Deal #1:
Global Warming for National Security:
Liberals say that Global Warming is the most urgent threat to America (and the world) and conservatives say that Islamic fascists and our enemies are the most urgent threat to America (and the world).
So, I will give you liberals full control of ending/stopping/reversing global warming, I’ll shut up and listen to your authority (drive a hydrogen-cornethal-electric pinto wagon or whatever.) You will have my support for the next 10 years.(then we will review)
In return, you agree to give conservatives the full control over our national security, Iraq and the war on terror (Islamic fascism) ie: We get your support for the next 10 years.
If you believe that global warming is the major threat, I say fine. Go for it.
I believe you are sincere and trust you will do a great job (that we don’t want to do) of saving the planet from the increasing temperatures which are a result of our use of “fossil fuels”. “Git-r-done”.
Meanwhile, in return you must believe and trust conservatives to do the nasty job (you don’t want to do) of stopping a bunch of throat slitting, gut splattering, barbaric, religious fanatics from wiping all of us off the planet long BEFORE global warming ever has a chance to.
DEAL or NO DEAL?

Deal or No Deal #2:
Gay Marriage for Freedom of Religion
I’ll give you government sanctioned gay marriage (and divorce) legal in all 50 states with full benefits (and deficits) and will shut-up about the issue in exchange for prayer back in schools, the Ten Commandments back in courtrooms and you shut up about nativity scenes and school Christmas pageants and other expressions of freedom of religion.
DEAL or NO DEAL?

Deal or No Deal #3:
Abortion for the Death Penalty
I’ll agree to ban the death penalty and convert all death row inmates to life in prison if you agree to ban abortion (except in cases of health of mother and rape/incest), which includes no government funding of embryonic stem cell research. (Privately funded embryonic stem cell research is allowed in all 50 states.) If you are against the death penalty for the guilty then it should be easy to be against the death penalty for the innocent.
DEAL or NO DEAL?

Deal or No Deal #4:
Immigration:
I’ll agree to a one-time *amnesty (again) for all illegal immigrants CURRENTLY working and living in America toward citizenship, if you agree to immediately shutting down the borders (with National Guard, fencing and whatever it takes) while enforcing the existing laws on any NEW illegals who enter this country thereafter and forever. *English is the official language of America, learn it and meet all the current requirements of new citizenship.
(I could have easily said the borders fall under national security and not offered you this one, but I wanted to reach out and demonstrate that conservatives are in fact fair)
DEAL or NO DEAL?


There, that wasn’t so hard now was it?
Oh, …..some of you are still not happy?
Now, before you go off on a tangent and claim that liberals are going to win on all these issues anyway, so… why trade? I could/would say the same thing to you in reverse. Which is where we are now, so stop that before you even get started.
You liberals claim to be “progressive’ and claim that discussion and negotiation is always the solution, so here you go “sparky”, negotiate.

We solved global warming, the war on terror, gay marriage, religious freedom, abortion, the death penalty and immigration in one easy session.

Now, “can’t we all just get along”?(lol)

My bet is that liberals don’t want to get along, don’t want to negotiate and actually don’t even believe in the democratic process, freedom of religion or even freedom of speech (except when it is to their benefit).
My bet is that liberals don’t negotiate on any issue, yet claim conservatives are closed minded and intolerant of opposing views.

Maybe I’m wrong and liberals will love this proposed trade and the conservatives will be outraged, inflexible, will denounce and make fun of the proposed deal.


Either way, please resist the urge to comment with ridiculous suggestions that only demonstrate your hatred for Bush or lack of desire to discuss in good faith.

Their Dirty Little Secret?

Do liberals (and democrats) secretly want the Iraqi government to fail and the US to leave Iraq in defeat?

No, of course not.

They openly want all of the above to happen and in fact speak as though it already has happened.

THE DEMOCRATIC BASE:

Treat yourself to visiting any of the liberal blogs like air America (they all are the same and repeat the same message) and you will find nothing but US troop death counts, stories of discontent, stories of perceived US failures in Iraq, stories of perceived Iraqi government failures, discrediting the President as “stupid”, the war as immoral and corrupt, and yet nothing but a desire to understand the “insurgents”. They seem to Cheer-on the prospect of a “civil war” in Iraq, the very sound of it stirs their rebel adrenalin and you can hear the drumbeat of victory in their language.

THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS:

Listen to Democrat leaders (like John Kerry who served in Vietnam) who degrade our troops at every opportunity, discredit the mission, discredit the Commander in Chief, don’t admit there is a connection to the war on terror and Iraq and calling for US troops to “cut and run” from what Osama Bin Laden himself has called the “main front in our war with the United States”. Democrats oppose listening to calls from terrorists into the US and favor letting lawyers sue members of our military on behalf of terrorists.

THE ISLAMIC FASCISTS:
They have repeatedly stated that Iraq is the battleground where they will first defeat America. According to their own words, America cannot win in Iraq, America should worry about it's healthcare system not Iraq, America must change it's leadership, Americans are the terrorists, George Bush is the enemy. The "President" of Iran is on a mission to bring about the end of the world by "making the sky glow over Israel and America".
Remember, Islam is a peaceful religion.

THE LIBERAL MEDIA:

The main-stream news media which is severely broken, is the critical link for both the terrorists AND the democrats to get their wish for America to lose. Without the media they would be sunk.

We all see it, the news always portrays the US as the “occupying force” and the terrorists as mere “insurgents”. They say it is too dangerous to report on schools, hospitals and libraries but are somehow “at the scene” of every single car-bombing or terrorist attack. CNN went so far as to air and promote a US soldier being assassinated on a terrorist-made propaganda video as “unbiased legitimate news”.

Democrats (and the terrorists) are so confident that Bush is going to lose and Democrats are going to win control of congress, they are picking out drapes in their future Washington offices (and Bhagdad).

Democrats fail to even admit that we are at war with terrorists in Iraq, so it's no wonder that there is no plan for how to win .

The left is wrong to the point of being dangerous. Some of them even think Christians pose a greater threat to them than Islamic fascist radicals and insane dictators.

They are horribly wrong, hopefully not dead wrong.
If you are American, no matter where you stand on immigration, abortion, taxes, the poor, the rich, no-matter... this is a much more important situation we are faced with.

Stand up and vote Red Stater’s. Vote to save our country and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren.

It is time to overcome the terrorists, the media, Hollywood liberals and defeat the Democrats next Tuesday.

Yes, I believe our lives may very well depend on it- conservative or liberal, Red Stater or Blue Stater.
