It’s a shame there are so many stupid people in this
country. What’s scary is that these
people have the same number of votes as you and me. One. (Well, one legal
vote any way.)
Watching the political conventions these last two weeks,
we’ve seen just how stupid these idiots are.
While many political protesters were content to demonstrate their
displeasure with America in an orderly fashion, still more of those in the
hate-America crowd felt the need to go above and beyond the scope of simple
political protest, escalating their actions to criminal acts against people and
property.
Granted, these idiots are still a minority of the
population, but they are a very vocal minority. They insist on making sure we all know just how stupid they are,
chanting their mindless chants, unable to explain just what it is they’re so
angry about.
When Fox News reporters dared to ask these anarchists what
they were protesting, to give the protesters a chance to exercise their freedom
of speech to a national audience, the reporters were met with shouts of “F***
Fox News!” Now there’s real insight.
Such brilliant rhetoric is illustrative of the mindset of
these idiots. And it might help explain
how Barack Obama has become the Democrat nominee for President of the United
States.
Barack Obama is a terrific orator, a master of
rhetoric. Listening to his grandiose
speeches you’d almost think you were hearing a sermon from on high. Barack Obama almost makes you believe he
could solve all the world’s problems with his words alone. Which makes him a perfect Democrat
candidate.
On the other hand, Republicans believe actions speak louder
than words.
First volunteering on her local PTA, then as mayor of her
small town, and eventually as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin sough office in
order to fix problems she saw, not to advance her own career as a professional
politician. Once elected, she wasted no
time and got right to work, enacting legislation and reforming Alaskan politics
to root out waste and corruption.
By contrast, Barack Obama is a product of the Chicago
political machine, an organization not exactly known for it’s ethics or
honesty.
The Democrat political hacks immediately saw Sarah Palin as
a threat, and set out to dig up as much dirt on her as they could. So what did they find?
Twenty-two years ago, before they were even married, Sarah
Palin’s husband (that is the husband of the Republican Vice-Presidential
candidate) was cited for drunk driving.
This was about the same time Barack Obama (the Democrat’s
Presidential candidate) admits he was using cocaine.
Sarah Palin sought to have an Alaskan police officer
fired. This officer was the man Palin’s
sister was divorcing. What was not
widely reported was that this police officer was being investigated for using a
taser on his 10-year-old stepson, and for making death threats against Palin’s
father.
They also set out to dismiss Sarah Palin for her lack of
experience. This from a party that
chose Barack Obama as their presidential candidate, a man whose claim to fame
was that he was once a “community organizer,” a state senator, and a U.S.
Senator. Only problem is that his
community organizing activities didn’t alleviate the crime and poverty he was
supposedly trying to solve. The
community housing projects he helped create were condemned and are
uninhabitable.
As Sarah Palin said, her experience as a small town mayor
was sort of like Barack Obama’s experience as a community organizer, except as
a mayor, Sarah Palin had actual responsibilities.
And in all his time in elected office, Barack Obama cannot
point to a single piece of legislation that he wrote and championed into law.
But he can sure give an eloquent sermon
As Senator Joe Lieberman observed in his remarks before the
Republican convention on September 2, “Eloquence is no substitute for a
record.”
Almost lost in all the fury over the announcement of Sarah
Palin as the Republican nominee for Vice-President is the fact that it is John
McCain who is the Republican nominee for President.
John McCain is a man of deeds that back his words. Unlike his Democrat rival, John McCain has a
long and distinguished record of service to his country. And as the Chairman of the Texas Railroad
Commission Michael Williams put it. “John McCain will not apologize for
America’s strength; he will assert it.”
Barack Obama has tried to make “change” the theme of his
campaign. First it was just
change. Then it was change you can
believe in. Then the signs became “New
Energy For America.” Seems like Barack
Obama’s message of “change” keeps changing.
Rudy Giulani pointed out that “Change is not a destination;
hope is not a strategy.”
Amidst all the political hoopla during these conventions is
the fact that we still live in a world governed by the aggressive use of
force. Despite the utopian wishes of
many in this country, it takes a strong military and the willingness to use it
to ensure peace.
Barack Obama keeps talking about how he’ll “bring the troops
home.” He never says anything about
winning a war, just ending it. We saw
how effective that political strategy was in ending the Vietnam War. Yes, it ended – and the people of South
Vietnam paid the price.
From the ongoing battles in Georgia to the tensions on the
Korean peninsula to the many fronts in the war on terror, we must remember
there are forces in the world that have sworn an unholy oath kill
Americans. That’s you and me. And they don’t care if you’re a Democrat or
a Republican, liberal or conservative.
You’re an American. That makes
you an infidel, and you must die.
We’re facing a global war in which Muslin extremists have
vowed to destroy America. We know where
John McCain stands.
In his book Audacity of
Hope Barack Obama, who calls himself a citizen of
the world, wrote 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds
shift in an ugly direction.”
Now you know where Barack Obama stands.
