Can't Be Said Enough

Read this Townhall.com article, one of many to explain just why Obama is NOT presidential material. Try to calm yourselves if reading from a conservative source makes you anxious. It's just that they are the only places, besides searching governmental voting records of representatives, where one can find the details about the man who would take the country in the wrong direction, and likely do it faster than either Hillary or John McCain.

Maybe We Should Just Wear Targets On Our Backs!!!

I just heard today that the Senate has enacted some legal prohibition against the CIA using waterboarding in interrogations of suspected terrorists. Mumble-mouth Ted Kennedy thinks we should just go by some military handbook of interrogation techniques. Why not just send the list of those "approved" techniques right to the scumbags who didn't need anymore reasons why we should not be feared? Better yet, let's just not waste anymore time and nuke ourselves. Who votes for these idiots? Wait, I know. The same people who are backing Obama and Clinton. Pathetic.

I Wonder What His Supporters Think

I thought I had heard something like this in the last couple of days. Another peek into the man who would be king can be found here.

Of course it may be simply the people who man the office, but then one must wonder why do such people support Obama? What do commies see in him that bring them out to back him? The same could be said for others of questionable character and desires, such as Planned Parenthood, GLBT types and who knows who else? If such people were attracted in a way that brought forth their repentance or positive change, that would be one thing. But I suspect they see in Barry Obama something to which they can relate. I wonder which candidates Mahmoud likes?

Clinton Or Obama?

Is American ready for a woman for president? Is America ready for a black man for president? Hillary's a woman, Barak's a black man, but they are identical twins for all the difference in their politics. It's as if they're both going to smash our skulls with a baseball bat, but one uses aluminum, and the other a Louisville Slugger. Either way, it's Headache City.

So the question isn't whether or not America is ready for a woman or a black man in the White House. In fact, that's an altogether stupid question, as stupid as the statement that now is the time for either. It's pretty clear that America isn't ready for this woman or this black man. It's really pretty sad that such a question even gets the time of day in America. Of course it's the character of the person along with their record and plans for the job that matters.

What matters even more, of course, is us. Are we paying attention? Are we staying abreast of the political scene at least in some substantive manner? More clearly, and more sadly, it is not the case with far too many voters based on the money being raised for these two clowns. I think it was Thursday's Hannity & Colmes where I caught a guy interviewing primary voters who backed these two. Most of them backed Obama (I can't decide if that's good or bad), with one guy saying it's because Obama has the guts to say what needs to be said. In this case it was that Obama wants to raise taxes. The interviewer asked for a show hands (there was about twenty or so lunatics) of those for whom raising taxes was important. Most of them raised their hands. It's amazing that they think that's a good thing.

Other comments, before I changed the channel, included the usual meaningless crap about change and unity. Unity. As Dennis Prager stated in a recent Townhall column, "unity" means buying into his crap, otherwise you're "divisive".

These two clowns mustn't win the election. I don't think our country or our culture can sustain four or more years of people like these.

What If It's McCain?

This Townhall piece should be read by conservatives still reeling from the departures of Thompson and Hunter from the GOP primary race.

Like many, I'm not completely thrilled with our selections for the Republican nominee. Through a combination of factors---media influence, poor campaigning, poor fundraising, etc.---the best conservatives have fallen by the wayside. We are left with men who are less than ideal regarding conservatism, though each is still likely to be a decent president, and certainly better than either of the two remaining clowns on the Dem side.

The John Hawkins piece is focussed on McCain, and why we should vote for him if he wins the nomination. I have problems with McCain, as do many on the right, and I believe I once determined that I'd never vote for him. But what of the alternatives? How can I, in good conscience, NOT vote for the opponent of Obama/Clinton? That would just be too nasty a thing to do to the nation. How about some third party candidate? Yeah, right.

There's been a lot of talk about McCain being a RINO, "more liberal than Hillary", etc. I don't buy it. He's not liberal, he's just not the most conservative guy that ran. Medved, a big McCain backer, laments the aforementioned knocks on McCain, but I read a response to his defense recently. Medved likes to talk about the rating given McCain by the American Conservative Union (ACU), which is around 83. Turns out, that's not so hot overall. Senator Kyl, also from Arizona, scored around 97. Half the people sent to Congress from Arizona score around 94. Here is where you can read more about his ACU ratings.

So of course, the only reasonable thing that I can do, should McCain be the party nominee, is to cast my vote for him. I encourage all who lean right, stand in the middle, or are just barely left, to vote for whomever wins the GOP nomination. As the Hawkins article points out, we can't let a million kids per year die just because McCain, or any other GOP hopeful, is less than the perfect conservative.

No Surprise Here

A brief AmericanThinker piece reports a broken plot on Spain by AlQueda. The punchline of course is what most on the right plainly understand, and about which few on the left, particularly the Dem candidates, have the slightest clue: dealing with terrorists. Why would they again attack Spain after Spain withdrew its troops from Iraq?

Let's Try This Again

My post below entitled "Don't Tell ME What To Do" turned into another debate on homosexual rights. Not what I had hoped for it. So this thread is strictly to deal with the subject of the alleged attempts of Christians to control. I don't feel such allegations are warranted in the least. Thus, I offer the chance for any to relate anything that might serve as an example.
