John McCain is NOT necessarily pro-life

McCain is not necessarily pro-life

Let me start by stating that I still strongly endorse McCain, even on the abortion issue.

However, like a lot of you, I feel that the pro-life issue has been hijacked by the GOP inasmuch as has become a partisan issue. The issue used to be one of conscience that was beyond party loyalty. But in the last 30 years, the sanctity of life has taken a back seat because voters look at it in terms of political party rather than conscience. You can read an explanation of why abortion is murder here.

Judge Andrew Napolitano has one of the best takes on the abortion issue in regards to the candidates.

As a Christian, this is one of those issues in which I have had a problem with McCain. Yes, his voting record is politically pro-life and yet he would still allow abortion to be legal where some states rule it legal. This would encourage interstate travel and more deception by those seeking abortions.

But as a political conservative, I agree with him that, constitutionally, the federal government should not be involved in the issue. And McCain has promised to nominate SCOTUS judges that will interpret the constitution as it was intended. That is why he is the better candidate on this issue.

Despite Barack Obama’s mantra to reduce abortions, he will nominate judges that will follow the DNC’s platform to unswervingly uphold Roe v. Wade. This would make abortions “safe and legal.”

Sarah Palin is absolutely pro-life and will promote a legal end to abortions nationwide based on her Christian faith.

Joe Biden is simply a conniving coward when it comes to practicing his faith in terms of applying it to the abortion issue.

Now, I strongly believe that National Security is the main reason to vote McCain-Palin. If Obama is elected, our nation faces a physical and social invasion where Islamic law would become a standard. If that happens, abortions will be controlled by the government and there will NOT be ANY choice.

In conclusion, even though neither candidate would effectively put an end to abortion altogether, McCain is the candidate who would promulgate a stronger start to protecting the sanctity of life.

"O" The Motion Picture

Not so far fetched...

This is what Bill Ayers & the Weather Underground Was About

So you still don’t understand why Conservatives are getting upset with the idea that Barack Obama has the association with Bill Ayers…

Watch and learn.

OBAMA VS. OBAMA

OBAMA VS. OBAMA

On Ronald Reagan:

Obama Can't Decide If He Should Praise Or Criticize President Reagan

"You know, I think that Ronald Reagan was delivering the right message at the right time. Because what had happened was I think the Democrats had gotten complacent, had gotten fat and happy. They thought you could get a government program to solve every problem. There wasn't much attention to how regulation might be choking business. And so Ronald Reagan came in and said we need to break out of the old ways of doing things and create a leaner, more effective government. That was the right message then." (Fox 13 Tampa Bay's "MyFoxTampaBay.com," 10/17/08)

VS.

"I spent a lifetime fighting against Ronald Reagan's policies." (Sen. Barack Obama, CNN Democrat Presidential Debate, Myrtle Beach, SC, 1/21/08)




On Iran:

"Iran is a major threat." (Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," 9/4/08)

VS.

"I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Campaign Event, Pendleton, OR, 5/18/08)

"You know, Iran, they spend one-one hundredth of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Campaign Event, Pendleton, OR, 5/18/08)


On Tapping the S.P.R.:

Obama Is Proposing To Tap The Strategic Petroleum Reserve. "In a reversal, Barack Obama is proposing tapping the nation's strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices, his campaign said Monday." (Tom Raum, "Obama: Tap Nation's Oil Reserve To Help Gas Prices," The Associated Press, 8/4/08)

VS.

"I do not believe that we should use the strategic oil reserves at this point. I have said and, in fact, supported a congressional resolution that said that we should suspend putting more oil into the strategic oil reserve, but the strategic oil reserve, I think, has to be reserved for a genuine emergency. You have a situation, let's say, where there was a major oil facility in Saudi Arabia that was destroyed as a consequence of terrorist acts, and you suddenly had huge amounts of oil taken out of the world market, we wouldn't just be seeing $4-a-gallon oil. We could see a situation where entire sectors of the country had no oil to function at all. And that's what the strategic oil reserve has to be for." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Media Availability, St. Louis, MO, 7/7/08)




On Nuclear Power:

"I actually think that we should explore nuclear power as part of the energy mix. There are no silver bullets to this issue." (CNN/YouTube Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Charleston, SC, 7/23/07)

"I don't think that we can take nuclear power off the table. What we have to make sure of is that we have the capacity to store it properly and safely, and that we reduce whatever threats might come from terrorism." (Sen. Barack Obama, MSNBC Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Hanover, NH, 9/26/07)

"I've said this before, I don't think that nuclear power is a panacea. But I also think that given that it doesn't emit greenhouse gases, for us to invest some R&D into seeing whether we can store nuclear waste safely, or reuse it. These are all areas where the market interacting with a clear set of rules by the federal government and billions of dollars devoted to research and development can, I think, trigger the kind of economic growth that we haven't seen in this country for a long time." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Meeting With Democrat Governors, Chicago, IL, 6/20/08)







VS.

"I start off with the premise that nuclear energy is not optimal. I am not a nuclear energy proponent." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Town Hall Event, Newton, IA, 12/30/07)



CHANGE….now I get it.

The ONLY Connection Between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers That Matters

In the current presidential campaign, everyone has been trying to either connect Barack Obama to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers or trying to play down the connection. There are some who are even trying to claim that there is no connection at all.

I say that there is a connection, a solid connection, and it is the only connection that really matters.

When Ayers and his monogamous companion, Bernadine Dohrn, surfaced and faced prison terms, the prosecution failed to convict on a technical violation because the FBI blew their case against them by illegally wiretapping their terrorists' plots without a warrant.

That means that they were guilty but they didn’t have to serve the time for their crimes. Years later, Ayers unrepentantly admitted their guilt in a New York Times article that was printed on the same day America was attacked by other terrorists.

My conclusion is that Bill Ayers is guilty of being a murderous terrorist and would be in jail had the prosecution not blown the case.

Therefore, if Ayers were in jail, he wouldn’t have been able to promulgate Barack Obama into Chicago politics and their ultimately wouldn’t be a Barack Obama running for President of the United States.

Yes, there were other figures who helped to foist Barack Obama into the political world, but if you remove Bill Ayers from the equation, the path Obama took wouldn’t have been there.

Barack Obama minus Bill Ayers does not equal a presidential nomination.

Former Project Vote employee Robert Marquise Blakely told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he had not met with any of the people whose voter registration applications he signed, “an apparent violation of state law,” according to the paper.

Debate over Palin bash ad

It’s on the web. It’s an ad. So it must be factual, good and effective…right?




Did Sarah Palin ban any books or tell anyone what they could or couldn’t read? NOPE.

Does Sarah Palin want EVERYONE to have automatic guns?
NOPE. There is NO way she is FOR letting ANY and EVERYONE have a gun. Palin supports the right to bear arms and as a hunter and member of the NRA, she is a strong proponent of firearms education and their appropriate use.

Does God want us to die in Iraq?
NOPE. Here quote from a speech at a church in Wasilla Alaska states: “Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.” This is stating that her prayer is that we are following God’s will, not the God has a desire for us to die. Furthermore, she has a son fighting in Iraq.

Does Sarah Palin believe that everyone should believe the way she does regarding creation?
NOPE. In 2006, Palin indicated in a TV debate that creation should be taught alongside evolution in the state’s public schools.


As governor, did Sarah Palin ignore issues of protecting women and of rape in Alaska? NOPE. Although there was an issue put on hold due to the “troopergate” investigation, Palin pushed for and got an increase in the state budget for protecting women. While the rape rate is high, the statistic has been that way for years and not because Palin became governor.

The Promise of a Democrat Mega-Majority in Government

TAX AND SPEND, TAX AND SPEND, TAX AND SPEND



SPREAD THE WEALTH, SPREAD THE WEALTH, SPREAD THE WEALTH



What Obama and the Democrats are going to do is make it even worse than the current so-called barstool economics tax plan:

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay NOTHING.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

'Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20."

Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still pay NOTHING.

But what about the other six current paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay!

And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing--(100%savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 ----- (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 ----- (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 ----- (25%savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ----- (22%savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 ----- (16%savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that's right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved two dollars. It's unfair that he got five times more than I!”

“That's true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money
between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for
being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

No, Democratic Tax strategies aren’t socialism, they’re economic treason….And yes, they actually are socialism.

Powell’s Perplexing Path Promoting Pandering Politics

This past weekend, former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for Senator. I am going to present some links showing Powell’s scatter-brained history during this election season.

August, 2007:
Colin Powell submitted a check to the McCain campaign for $2,300

The donation reinforced “the senator's credentials as an independent-minded Republican and a strong voice on national security issues.”

June, 2008:
”Obamacon” Powell rumored to endorse Obama

“As an African American, friends say, Powell is sensitive to racial attacks on Obama and especially on Obama's wife, Michelle.”

August 2008:
Powell rejects DNC speaking spot while still keeping his endorsement open

"I will vote for the candidate I think can do the best job in America -- whether that candidate is a Republican or Democrat or an independent." – Colin Powell

October, 2008:
Powell officially endorses Barack Obama for POTUS

Powell told NBC’s Tom Brokaw that he was “troubled” by Republicans’ personal attacks on Obama, especially false intimations that Obama was Muslim and the recent focus on Obama’s alleged connections to William Ayers, a co-founder of the radical ’60 Weather Underground.

Stressing that Obama was a lifelong Christian, Powell denounced Republican tactics that he said were insulting not only to Obama but also to Muslims.

“The really right answer is what if he is?” Powell said, praising the contributions of millions of Muslim citizens to American

Obama told Matt Lauer Powell has an "open invitation" to join him on the campaign trail and spoke about a role for Powell if he is elected

“[Colin Powell] will have a role as one of my advisors. He has already served in that function even before he endorsed me.” – Barack Obama

Are you dizzy yet?
