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.

Angry Republican

Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 1 Cor 14:8-9

John McCain asked us at the GOP convention to stand up and fight with him. We are fighting, but why isn’t Sen. McCain?

I was encouraged when I saw the news of people at his events, filled with anger and calling for Sen. McCain to fight. But then today we saw him almost endorse B. Hussein Obama. Does Sen. McCain not understand our anger? We are not mad at Sen. McCain. Even those of us who don't agree with some of his political positions share an enormous respect him for the sacrifices he has made his entire life for our country. If any man could earn the Presidency of the United States, John McCain surely has earned it through his personal sacrifices and the torture he endured during his years of captivity. But, as you all well know, we don’t select our President that way. We give the Presidency to the person who motivates us to cast our votes by proving to us that he (or she) shares our values and will protect our country from people who want to do harm to it. Sen. McCain is in an ideal position to motivate this country to elect him. Our country has spared itself from a subsequent terrorist attack on our soil because of strong Republican leadership in the White House. The current economic crisis in our country is the direct result of the carelessness and ineptitude of Democrat lawmakers who forced banks to provide mortgages to people who could not afford homes. And, on top of everything else, the opposing party has chosen as its presidential nominee a man so unqualified and incompetent that the only thing he knows how to do well is make friends with terrorists, thieves and hate mongering racist. Sen. McCain is aware of these facts, but he has yet to point them out to a national audience. We need to hear him say that he is not going to let us take the blame for everything that is wrong with the world anymore. We want to hear him say the war in Iraq was the right thing to do. We need to hear him say that Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Jimmy Carter are the cause of this economic crisis. Sen. McCain defended us in Vietnam, giving everything short of his life, I honor the fact that he survived just to irritate his captors, but we want that warrior back. For eight years the Bush administration has sat quietly in the White House and allowed the Left to demonize him, his administration, and those of us who supported and voted for him and we are tired of it. President Bush has kept us safe for 8 years. Sen. McCain should honor that and defend it and promise to keep us just as safe during his term. Obama talks about stopping genocide, why does Sen. McCain not challenge Obama on why he voted to ensure genocide in Iraq? And if you believe Obama about him being the lone voice against the war in Iraq to begin with, then why was he voicing opposition to end the genocide that Saddam and his two sons were causing in Iraq? Why did Obama support Odinga, and has never denounced him, who caused genocide in Kenya? We are angry.

-We are angry that ACORN is still operating. If Sen. McCain wants to suspend his campaign and go back to Washington to defend this country, do it to take the floor of the Senate and put a stop to ACORN!

-We are angry that our President didn’t defend our party or himself.

-We are angry that Congress did not protect us from our Congress as they allowed abuse and corruption for political gain at our expense, we are really angry that our President and our Party leaders have allowed the Democrats and the MSM to place the blame on us for it

-We are angry that the radical Left wants to throw away 300 years of National Pride and Tradition and our party leaders are quietly allowing it to happen as to not offend the Press and the small minority of those who hate our country.

-We are angry that Obama and his campaign have called a national hero dishonorable and McCain and his campaign have allowed him to get away with it.

So, Sen. McCain, will you sound the trumpet for battle, for surrender or retreat? It is time to lead, or else you should never have entered the fray. It is not good enough to simply run for president of the United States if you didn't enter the contest to lead AMERICA TO VICTORY.

We are fighting for Sen. McCain, when is he going to join us?

Respectfully,

An Angry Republican (and donor to McCain/Palin2008)

When Does Life Begin?

When does life begin? According to Barrack Obama, this is a very complicated question. According to Democrat Party, principles and policies, life begins when it becomes taxable! Of course that does not hold true about death because one is taxable after he dies (i.e., the death tax). When I vote, I don’t vote according to which candidate and/or party promises me the best financial benefits, I vote according to a morality standard. Even though I appreciate the financial and tax breaks afforded me as election promises, I cast my vote for the candidate and/or the party that values life. Today it may be the life of the newborn. Tomorrow it may be the life of the elderly. Perhaps in the future it could be the life of the disabled, disadvantaged or the impoverished. Nazi Germany determined it was the life of the Jewish population that was expendable. During this past primary season, I had 3 friends who were pregnant and delivered babies less than 2 pounds. My sympathy went out to those families because I believed that rarely will a baby less than 3 pounds could lived. How amazed I was 3 months later as each one of these infants have not only survived but have thrived. 2 of them have already been dismissed from the hospital and the third will be released shortly. Scripture teaches that God knows us from the womb.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." -Jeremiah 1:5

Those who kill the life of the unborn suffered under the Old Testament law. Jesus says whosoever offends these little ones, it would be better if a millstone was cast around their neck and they were tossed into the sea. When does life begin? It doesn't seem like such a complicated question to these 3 little miracles who survived their premature births.

Meet Gov. Palin

Meet Governor Sarah Palin

Change? According to Michael Kranish at the Boston Globe McCain has indicated that he would only serve one term if elected. Why is that important to change? A 2008 McCain victory that would make Sarah Palin the 2012 Republican presumptive nominee and would most likely send the Democrats running back to the feet of Hillary Clinton begging for her forgiveness so that she would run against Palin. Regardless of the 2012 outcome McCain will have ensured that the next President of the United States will be a woman! Now that is "Change" you can see, not just "hope" for.

From Johnmccain.com

Governor Sarah Palin delivered the following remarks after John McCain announced that she was joining the ticket as the nominee for Vice President.

Governor Sarah Palin: "And I thank you, Senator McCain and Mrs. McCain, for the confidence that you have placed in me. Senator, I am honored to be chosen as your running mate. I will be honored to serve next to the next president of the United States.

"I know that when Senator McCain gave me this opportunity, he had a short list of highly qualified men and women, and to have made that list at all -- it was a privilege. And to have been chosen brings a great challenge. I know that it will demand the best that I have to give, and I promise nothing less.

"First, there are a few people whom I would like you to meet. I want to start with my husband, Todd. And Todd and I are actually celebrating our 20th anniversary today, and I promised him a little surprise for the anniversary present, and hopefully he knows that I did deliver.

"And then we have as -- after my husband, who is a lifelong commercial fisherman, lifetime Alaskan -- he's a production operator. Todd is a production operator in the oil fields up on Alaska's North Slope, and he's a proud member of the United Steelworkers Union, and he's a world champion snow machine racer. Todd and I met way back in high school, and I can tell you that he is still the man that I admire most in this world.

"Along the way, Todd and I have shared many blessings, and four out of five of them are here with us today. Our oldest son, Track, though, he'll be following the presidential campaign from afar. On September 11th of last year, our son enlisted in the United States Army. Track now serves in an infantry brigade. And on September 11th, Track will deploy to Iraq in the service of his country. And Todd and I are so proud of him and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform.

"Next to Todd is our daughter Bristol; another daughter, Willow; our youngest daughter, Piper; and over in their arms is our son Trig, a beautiful baby boy. He was born just in April. His name is Trig Paxson Van Palin.

"Some of life's greatest opportunities come unexpectedly, and this is certainly the case today. I never really set out to be involved in public affairs, much less to run for this office. My mom and dad both worked at the local elementary school. And my husband and I, we both grew up working with our hands.

"I was just your average 'hockey mom' in Alaska. We were busy raising our kids. I was serving as the team mom and coaching some basketball on the side. I got involved in the PTA and then was elected to the city council and then elected mayor of my hometown, where my agenda was to stop wasteful spending and cut property taxes and put the people first.

"I was then appointed ethics commissioner and chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and when I found corruption there, I fought it hard and I held the offenders to account. Along with fellow reformers in the great state of Alaska, as governor, I've stood up to the old politics as usual, to the special interests, to the lobbyists, the Big Oil companies and the 'good old boy' network.

"When oil and gas prices went up so dramatically and the state revenues followed with that increase, I sent a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska -- and we are now -- we're now embarking on a $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.

"I signed major ethics reforms, and I appointed both Democrats and independents to serve in my administration. And I've championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. In fact, I told Congress thanks, but no thanks, on that "Bridge to Nowhere." If our state wanted a bridge, I said, we'd build it ourselves.

"Well, it's always, though, safer in politics to avoid risk, to just kind of go along with the status quo. But I didn't get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built. Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties. The people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right reasons. And the right reason is to challenge the status quo and to serve the common good.

"Now, no one expects us to agree on everything, whether in Juneau or in Washington. But we are expected to govern with integrity and good will and clear convictions and a servant's heart.

"Now, no leader in America has shown these qualities so clearly or presents so clear a threat to business as usual in Washington as Senator John S. McCain. This -- this is a moment when principles and political independence matter a lot more than just the party line. And this is a man who has always been there to serve his country, not just his party.

"And this is a moment that requires resolve and toughness and strength of heart in the American president. And my running mate is a man who has shown those qualities in the darkest of places and in the service of his country. A colleague once said about Senator McCain: That man did things for this country that few people could go through; never forget that. And that speaker was former Senator John Glenn of Ohio. And John Glenn knows something about heroism.

"And I'm going to make sure nobody does forget that in his campaign. There is only one candidate who has truly fought for America, and that man is John McCain.

"This is a moment -- this is a moment when great causes can be won and great threats overcome, depending on the judgment of our next president. In a dangerous world, it is John McCain who will lead America's friends and allies in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

"It was John McCain who cautioned long ago about the harm that Russian aggression could do to Georgia and to other small Democratic neighbors and to the world oil markets.

"It was Senator McCain who refused to hedge his support for our troops in Iraq, regardless of the political costs. And you know what? As the mother of one of those troops and as the commander of Alaska's National Guard, that's the kind of man I want as our commander in chief.

"Profiles in courage, they can be hard to come by these days. You know, so often we just find them in books. But next week when we nominate John McCain for president, we're putting one on the ballot!

"To serve as vice president beside such a man would be the privilege of a lifetime, and it's fitting that this trust has been given to me 88 years almost to the day after the women of America first gained the right to vote.

"I think as well today of two other women who came before me in national elections. I can't begin this great effort without honoring the achievements of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and, of course, Senator Hillary Clinton, who showed such determination and grace in her presidential campaign.

"It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.

"So for my part, the mission is clear. The next 67 days I'm going to take our campaign to every part of our country and our message of reform to every voter of every background, in every political party, or no party at all. If you want change in Washington, if you hope for a better America, then we're asking for your vote on the 4th of November.

"My fellow Americans, come join our cause. Join our cause and help our country to elect a great man the next president of the United States. And I thank you, and I -- God bless you, I say, and God bless America. Thank you."
