“And They Now Eat Their Own”

As time draws closer for the presidential primaries in early 2008, attacks within political parties grow. Last night the Democrat national debate in Las Vegas, Nevada ensued. Barrack Obama, Hilary Clinton, and John Edwards threw out their usual dialogues. Each took their turn bashing on Republicans, past Republican Congressional decisions, and of course President Bush and his “failed” administration and the war in Iraq. Surprisingly however, those candidates took the time to lambaste each other.

One of the issues that was mentioned in the previous debate was that of illegal immigrant driver’s licenses being issued. It was hilarious how no candidate would completely acknowledge their view on the issue by dodging the question. Each would take their turn saying how the other was not commenting but then refusing to comment themselves. It was so horrible even Wolf Blitzer said, “It is a pretty straight forward question with a straight forward answer…yes or no."
Hilary spent some time refuting John Edwards’s earlier claims on some of her decisions and policies. She asked if he would refrain from, “Using the Republican play book.” Of course, we all know she does not use the Democrat play book, right?

Barrack was dogged by Hilary when it came to universal healthcare even though she has no better plan. I was surprised to not see Edwards full throttle on that issue since it is “dearest” to his heart, if you don’t count class warfare.

I loved how the candidates responded to the idea of picking Supreme Court justices. Every reply had some bash on President Bush and how he has made so many mistakes; then the obvious, “In my administration this would not happen.” All of the candidates say that President Bush is an under qualified president, however they hold no higher degrees (Yale undergraduate and Harvard M.B.A.) than he does. And more importantly, Bush sits in the Oval Office an none of them do (well, may be Hillary from 1992-2000).

Lastly, every Democrat had to mention that our troop surge in Iraq is failing. They provided information like, “This is the most casualties we have suffered so far in one year.” With that statistic they failed to mention how many more insurgents were killed, how violence has taken a halt in even the most war-torn provinces, and how hundreds of more institutions, schools, and other necessary building shave been constructed to make the country far more stable.

I do hope that the audience watching the debate realized how invalid, vapid, incoherent, and inadequate the rhetoric of the debate was. All we learned was that the Democrats are willing to eat their own and go whichever way the wind blows that day. There is no solid ground of facts which they stand on; in fact, they are unencumbered by the facts, choosing to live in a “fact free” zone while the security of America is at stake. They will say and do anything to gain applause and pander to the lowest common denominator. Is that who we really want running this country? Do we really want another Clinton cavorting in the Oval Office. They should all take a cue from Nicolas Sarkozy, who only last week spoke before a joint session of Congress and praised America as the greatest nation in all of recorded history and he added that the French owe a debt to America that can NEVER be repaid. Good God, he sounds more patriotic that any Dem I can think of!

"Gore Speaks With Forked Tongue"

“A really inconvenient truth; Al Gore is a hypocrite!”

As I watched the Oscars Sunday night and the announcement for best documentary was announced I knew instinctively Gore had won for, “An Inconvenient Truth.” I wish I were more shocked, but knowing Hollywood hosted the Oscars, and Gore is a liberal, it was guaranteed.

That said, it should be noted: Gore doesn’t practice what he preaches. I wonder how many of you know how much energy Gore uses for just one of his four homes in a single year? To give you an idea, he uses twenty times more energy a year for one of his homes than the national average. Some may argue that while Gore burns $30,000 a year in energy for one of his homes, he at the very least cancels that out because it is said he does so many other things to help conserve energy. Here is a novel idea, “Why doesn’t Mr. Gore do what he is doing now to save energy and on top of that stop living a sybaritic lifestyle, inasmuch as he lectures us common folk about how to live.

Gore lectures us about our SUV’s but flies around the country in a Gulf Stream jet; tells us to get different light bulbs but uses twenty times more energy than the average American does in a year. Al Gore is pimping the issue of global warming for political gain and nothing else. Let’s face it, that is reality. How can all of you environmentalists out there follow a hypocrite? Maybe because all of you are hypocrites, especially you Hollywood limousine liberal types. Take a moment, get out of your uber luxury rides and walk… otherwise you will look like Al Gore.

Death by hanging...

December 29th(U.S. time) the Butcher of Baghdad Saddam Hussein was executed.

Let this be a reminder to all terrorists worldwide, that you are marked for death and it will inevitably come, whether the U.S. does so or any of its allies.

The death of Saddam Hussein so suddenly demostrates that no despotic ruler the world over can escape the long reach of justice. From the pajama boy of North Korea, to the members only man of Iran, and anyone else who fancies themselves as totalitarian rulers, I exhort you to view the video of Saddam's hanging by the Iraqi people as soon as possible. Now he has been summarily sent on his way to his seventy-two virgins where he will meet up with the likes of his two pathetic sons, Zarqawi, and every other piece of human debris that justice has seen fit to expell from hummanity.

America's Foreign Policy?

America's Foreign Policy:


America should do what is necessary for America. There comes point where diplomacy no longer works and only brute force prevails. When will Liberals, or rather, secular progressives realize this? As much as I hate to say, war is a necessary evil and when we have enemies that wish for nothing else, there is no alternative.

Question: How did America gain Independence? Answer: War. Question: How did America end slavery? Answer: Civil War. Unfortunately war exists and our enemies need to know that we are willing to go all out otherwise they have no reason to fear the Superpower of America.

After Long Ado...

November 7, 2006, brought into focus an evermore clear picture of the ignorance of the American people. Democrats took the House with overwhelming majority and unfortunately barely won the Senate. When the 110^th Congress convenes in January, there will be many new changes in the way this country runs.

The Democrats and Liberals were able to convince the American people of a need for change for sake of change saying, “After twelve years let it be our turn,” was their cry. Last time I checked Congress was held by a Democrat majority for some forty years before the Gingrich Revolution. All this change will bring to government is a “Gridlock” between congress and the President.

Inasmuch as Nancy Pelosi and other Democrat party leaders have conferences with President Bush and saying, “We want to have a smooth ‘bipartisan’ government,” many Republicans and Democrats alike know that what is said means nothing. The Democrats know full well that they do not intend to have a bipartisan government; instead they will continue to undermine the President. When the 110^th Congress convenes they will instantly begin raise taxes, neuter the military, and cause as much chaos with the administration as they can.

And with regards to terrorism, I believe this Congress will begin to pull troops out of Iraq, thus throwing Iraq into civil war. As I speak there are hundreds of thousands of Islamic radicals burning American flags, preaching our destruction, and telling their friends and children how one day the flag of Mohammed will fly over the White House. And do you know why they do this now more than ever before? Because they know that all Democrats wish to do is talk and understand the enemy while the enemy knows that is a weakness they may easily exploit. Question: How can you use diplomacy with someone who cares nothing about it? Answer: you can’t.

I may only hope that this new Congress proves my predictions wrong, for it would be a great help to America’s struggle. However, with continued resentment toward America and new abilities to manipulate our efforts, the Democrats will have a long road ahead to keep America what it is, “The land of the Free.”

John Kerry…Stupid yet again.

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."-Senator John Kerry

John "the flip flopper" Kerry is a disgrace to himself, his party, and his country. As I speak he is being lambasted by the public for his statement, and rightly so. His statement was inappropriate, unpatriotic, and simply stupid, which is par for the course when talking about Kerry.

In fact, I have a friend who is serving in Iraq right now and allow me to tell you that he is educated, very educated. He is amongst the few who understand the security of the people of this nation is at risk and told me, "It is my duty and obligation to defend the country I live in. I would much rather bring the fight to them then them bring the fight to the U.S." This friend of mine, Mike, whom I last saw in Washington D.C. before he shipped out, demonstrates ultimate patriotism. He is a Stanford undergraduate and a Harvard Law Graduate who enlisted in the Marines and insisted to start out as a grunt, when as a highly educated enlistee he would have been immediately given a commission. When I asked him why he didn't take the commission from the start he replied, "I wanted to learn to take orders before I gave them." Mike is now a captain in Iraq performing special operations with many other Marines like him...very educated. So I ask Kerry, is Mike the kind of individual he was criticizing when he stuck his foot in it on Monday?

John Kerry, like his party, has once again demonstrated that they are incapable of leading this nation, especially in a time of war! Senator John Kerry, you and the people like you should be forever grateful that there are men like Mike and many others out their protecting our country at the risk of their own lives, for if they were not you wouldn't have been allowed to make the statement you did.

"The French Being French"

Lately the French have had myriad issues concerning the viability and solvency of their government, yet they question the United States? Was it not the U.S. that rebuked the tyranny of King George III and created the world’s most benevolent and civilized documents ever comprised. On the flip side, the French tried revolution two times before ever becoming successful and even then they used our constitution as its foundation and inspiration.

Last year in France’s cities some 9,000 cars were torched and riots became endemic due to France’s disregard for work ethic. Now the youth have paraded towns torching some 250 cars in the past three days essentially saying that they want, “Better paying jobs and less work.” A majority of these protestors are immigrants who exploit democracy but live through theocracy.

France has many issues to deal with in their upcoming 2007 presidential elections, not the least of which is immigration. France has the largest Muslim population in Europe, some 5 million, and seems powerless while these immigrants set fire to cars and buildings jeopardizing the health and safety of France’s citizens. All the while, President Jacques Chirac appeases them by giving into their demands, further indicating to these immigrants that France’s government is weak. President Chirac is at the mercy of their wants and needs, not his country’s!

The French need not criticize America’s “War on Terror” along with America’s other foreign and domestic policies until they work out their own. There is a reason why the U.S. is the world’s only superpower and not France, which never was.

By the way, French fries are not even French, they are from Belgium.
