Axis of Evil

In his State of the Union Speech in 2002, President Bush, speaking to a joint session of Congress, announced his warning shot to America and the world that there was an axis of evil. This evil threat to the U.S. comprised of Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Systematically, Pres. Bush began to dismantle the threats. Leading a regime change in Iraq and bringing N. Korea to the negotiation table, this axis has been slowly but surely been reduced. He concluded with the warning that this would not be a quick fix but take maybe a decade or two; the American people should not lose heart.

As Pres. Bush prepares to leave office, he should announce to the American public about the current axis of evil: Pelosi, Reid and Obama. This triumvirate is every bit as threatening to the American way of life as the previous axis of evil. President Bush was inaugurated into office while the US was dealing with a recession begun during the Clinton administration. Righting the course, the economy was rocked by the devastation of 9/11. Rallying the US economy through integrity of leadership instead of political machinations, we enjoyed a boost surpassing any previously era of prosperity. The stock market broke the 12,000 barrier and then a democratic majority was elected to congress. The 5 year boom years came to an end. Reid and Pelosi came to majority power and the economy began its decline. Even though these 2 congressional leaders personally prospered with their land dealings and “children’s businesses”. They engineered legal loopholes to feed the greed, eliminate personal responsibility and share the wealth philosophy that has brought our nation to an economic crisis that Al Qaeda was unable to achieve with their attack on 9/11.

Together, they tabled legislation to allow the rape of several prominent financial institutions. Only recently have they lip synced the need for offshore drilling. They are now promising to reverse any legislation they had to pass as soon as they retain the Washington leadership. They have fought for the rights of terrorists over the rights of American “victims/citizens”. They have illegally met with those whose agendas were opposed to our national defense and the war on terror.

Now, they have enlarged their circle to include Senator Barack Obama. He intends to accelerate the fall of free enterprise and crush the small business owner. He is promising to surrender in Iraq which will allow the rebuilding of Al Qaeda. He will handcuff the justice department and allow the terrorists captured during war to return to their conclaves while “prosecuting the illegal Bush leadership for war crimes”. The 3 CEO’s of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Leman Brothers after having brought down these institutions have moved over to Obama’s campaign staff where they had previously sent campaign contributions from their respective organizations.

In the gospels we are warned to “beware of wolves in sheep clothing” ( "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves".-Matthew 7:15). Well, if the wolf is dressed like the sheep, how can we tell the difference? You can tell the difference by what they eat. Sheep eat grass. Wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing eat sheep. How can you tell that Pelosi, Reid and Obama are wolves? Because they eat up the American tradition, values, and heritage. The want to change the constitution (which secures our rights) by passing legislation and appointing judges that ignore their constitutional judicial obligation and legislate from the bench, imposing the social changes that will entrench their political power, secure their personal wealth and destroy the heritage they were elected to office to protect and defend. They want to legislate against free speech to silence the heritage that built this country. They want to protect the innocent life of obscure field mice but legislate the murder of innocent and helpless unborn babies. They want to increase American dependence on foreign oil and handcuff our independence. They want to open the borders to any and all immigrants no matter what the threat to national security and economic stability in order to enlarge their voting base.

These three wolves are devouring our heritage, our freedoms and our economy. They consume the American public. They are truly wolves who feast upon the public for which they are pledged to serve. A new axis of evil has emerged as a threat to America. Let us move decisively at the voting booth to remove these threats before all future elections will be so corrupt as to secure their power to devour the traditions and heritage held so dear.
