The End of a Nation?

Well, IT HAS HAPPENED. Barack HUSSEIN Obama has been elected President of the United States.

As many know, I have NEVER supported BHO (aka Little Barry Soetoro). He does not have the values, morals, experience, or any of the traits that I want in a person who holds the highest office in the land.

Even though I voted for John McCain, he was not my first choice for POTUS. McCain is a RINO (Republican In Name Only). However, he was a better choice, in my mind, that BHO. I think Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Tom Tancredo, and Milt Romney would have made a better President than McCain. Any of them would definitely make a President than Little Barry Soetoro.

The results of this election really bother me. I cannot for the life of me understand why ANYONE could fall for the empty rhetoric and false charisma of BHO? The only reason I feel, that many voted for BHO, was that in their minds, they were voting AGAINST George W. Bush and his policies.

Yes, I voted for GWB in 2000 and 2004, however I did not support all of his ideas. I was against "No Child Left Behind." The program does not work. Too much pressure was placed on the teachers and schools, while very little accountability was placed on the students and their parents.

I was against Bush's stance on immigration. He should have done more to fix or at lease curtail the flow of criminal aliens int our country.

Bush made some mistakes as President. I can live with that. Anyone who tries to do his best and works hard cannot be faulted.

However, I have a feeling that BHO does not have the best interest of the United Sates at heart.

I feel he does not have the best interests of American citizens at heart.

I do not trust Barach HUSSEIN Obama. In my mind, it is as simple as that. He cannot be trusted. His promises were just that...promises. Promises that he cannot or will not keep.

Eight years ago, he was an unknown local politician from Chicago. He has spent most of those eight years planning and plotting to become the POTUS.

I thought the same thing about Bill Clinton in his eight years running the country. He did not disappoint me. History will in my humble opinion, view Clinton as one of the worse Presidents in US history. The only President that will be worse than Clinton will be Obama.

He is going to take this county to the depths of dispair and division from which we will NEVER recover.

When we do start falling into that bottomless pit of distruction, he will blame it on the conservatives. He will blame it on the Republicans. He will blame it on anyone who ahs an opposing view point to his.

50 million votes fell for his line. They fell for his empty "promise of change" hook, line, and sinker.

Those 50 million people need to keep a close watch on the government. Many of them are going to experience voters remorse. Once Obama takes office and has to produce instead of just mking promises, his inexperience and lack of knowledge will become evident.

Some of those 50 million people are eventually going to reasize that they have been fed a bill of goods and thsoe goods have the foul stench of garbage on them.

It is sad than no matter how bad Obama does, there will still be people out there singing his praises. They will back him no matter what he does.

That is the sad thing. He will have four years, and possibly eight, to take this country into a era from which we will not recover.

I am fearful of how his opposition will be viewed and treated once he takes the oath of office.

Things are going to be different in the Good Old USA. The days of that Good Old USA are gone forever.

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting." - George W. Patton

Fox News: Obama Takes Pennsylvania

(7:30pm CST): Fox News has just called Pennsylvania for Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

That is bad news for McCain.

“We just found out yesterday what Sen. Obama really thinks about coal. There’s a new video where he talks about what he thinks about coal. “The quote is, ‘If somebody wants to build a coal-fired plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them.’ How out of touch is that?”- John SIDNEY McCain

Young Barack HUSSEN Obama Supporter Gets a SHOCKING Lesson

After Shawn Turschak saw two sets of McCain-Palin signs disappear from his yard within hours of being planted, he took steps to protect the latest pair.

On Monday, he ran wires from his house and hooked the signs into a power source for an electric pet fence. Then he mounted a surveillance camera in a nearby tree and wired it to a digital recorder.

Tuesday afternoon, the camera saw this: A neighbor trotting up with an Obama-Biden sign, grabbing a handful of volts as he touched a McCain-Palin sign, then fleeing at top 9-year-old boy speed.

I LOVE IT!!! THIS GUY IS MY HERO.

USA Flags Rescued By McCain Supporters

Mini-USA flags that were found in trash bags at the Democratic Convention in Denver were rescued by John SIDNEY McCain supporters and distributed to McCain supporters in Colorado Springs, Colorado today.

The picture of the flags in the bags (as they were found) is posted at the left.

The democrats are trying to spin this atrocity as "the flags were taken." In my mind, it does not matter. The flag of our country deserves better treatment than this, regardless of the size.

Actions sure does speak louder than words, especially in this incident. The same flags are shown below being proudly waved at the McCain rally in Colorado (as previously stated).


"We want to find good homes for these flags." 630 KHOW radio host Dan Caplis, in a statement at the McCain-Palin rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Sarah Palin Vice Presidential Acceptance Speech-Part 2

Here is part 2 of Sarah Palin's acceptance speech as John SIDNEY McCain's Vice Presidential running mate.

"A ship in harbor is safe but that's not why the ship is built." - Sarah Palin

Palin's Daughter is Pregnant!

John McCain's vice-presidential running mate Sarah Palin said today that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant, an announcement aimed at rebutting Internet rumors that Palin's youngest son, born in April, was actually her daughter's.

This entire election is turning into a nightmare. Barack HUSSEIN Obama can do drugs as a youth, lie about his experience, hang out and cavort with known criminals and radicals and he gets a pass from the media and many others out there.

The teen aged daughter of the conservative VP candidate gets pregnant and the accusations fly, the lynch mobs gather, and the liberal, anti-American wackos clear their schedules for a prolonged assault on the mother and the mother-to-be.

The children of the candidates should be off-limits. Bill Clinton made that clear during his White House run and amazingly, the press completed.

Why does the same standard not apply for Republicans?

Palin's daughter's indiscretion should not matter, but it WILL and it DOES. Many will jump on the bandwagon to condemn her for her daughter's action. The Dems will use this to the fullest extent, even if Barack HUSSEIN Obama states she should be off limits.

You KNOW he and his advisers are looking for ways to exploit this.

All of this just reinforces a thought that has been taking roots in my mind for some time. Some will be critical when I make this statement, however the more I teach and the more I live, the more it makes sense to me.

The majority of the youth of today have very little direction, very little commitment to family values and are mainly involved in their own lives. They could care less how their actions will effect others and are only living for the moment. They are very unaware of the real world and could not care less how their actions have results on others for many years to come.

I cannot believe that the daughter of a sitting Governor, who is on the political rise, did not think that her actions would and could hurt her mother (and family). I do not know how she was raised, I do not know whom she hung out with. I do not know what did when when she alone? (Correction: I do know what she was doing on at least one occasion).

The bottom line is that the teenagers indiscretion WILL effect her life and the life of the baby's father. It will also affect the lives of her family members. Most of all, it will affect the live of a young baby and least of all it will affect the outcome of a Presidential election.

I know that sounds very dismal, but it is what I think. Her pregnancy should not matter, but it does and it will.

I still think McCain and Palin will defeat Barach HUSSEIN Obama and his liberal VP running mate.

I may be wrong. After all, I was preparing for Hurricane Gustav hitting the Texas gulf coast and I was wrong. I guess anything can happen.

"(the pregnancy) has no relevance to Governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. My mother had me when she was 18. How a family deals with issues and teen-age children — that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics." - Barack HUSSEIN Obama

Sarah Palin Vice Presidential Acceptance Speech-Part 1

Here is the first part of of John SIDNEY McCain announcing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.

I think he made a great choice. Barach HUSSEIN Obama must be crapping in his pants for not selecting Hillary RODHAM Clinton as his VP.

I think this selection will seal the deal for McCain. At last, Barack HUSSEIN Obama will only by a minor annoyance.

The Main Event: McCain versus Obama

Now that it looks like Barack HUSSEIN Obama (aka Oprah's Love Child) and John SIDNEY McCain will be facing off in the November election, let's look at how each one stand on the issues.

ABORTION

McCain: Opposes abortion rights. Has voted for abortion restrictions permissible under Roe v. Wade, and now says he would seek to overturn that guarantee of abortion rights. Would not seek constitutional amendment to ban abortion.

Obama: Favors abortion rights.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE

McCain: The co-author of McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, he plans to run his general campaign with public money and within its spending limits. He has urged Obama to do the same. He turned down federal matching funds for primaries so he could spend more than the limits. Federal Election Commission letter said he needs FEC approval before withdrawing from the primary public financing system, but FEC has not had quorum to act. McCain says he needs no such approval. McCain accepts campaign contributions from lobbyists.

Obama: The presidential campaign's fundraising champion has brought in nearly $265 million. Has signaled he will raise private money for his general election, despite his proposal last year to accept public financing and its spending limits if the Republican nominee does, too. Obama refuses to accept money from federal lobbyists and has instructed the Democratic National Committee to do the same for its joint victory fund, an account that would benefit the nominee. Obama does accept money from state lobbyists and from family members of federal lobbyists.

CUBA

McCain: Ease restrictions on Cuba once U.S. is "confident that the transition to a free and open democracy is being made."

Obama: Ease restrictions on family-related travel and on money Cuban-Americans want to send to their families in Cuba. Open to meeting new Cuban leader Raul Castro without preconditions. Ease trade embargo if Havana "begins opening Cuba to meaningful democratic change."

DEATH PENALTY

McCain: Has supported expansion of the federal death penalty and limits on appeals.

Obama: Supports death penalty for crimes for which the "community is justified in expressing the full measure of its outrage." As Illinois lawmaker, wrote bill mandating videotaping of interrogations and confessions in capital cases and sought other changes in system that had produced wrongful convictions.

EDUCATION

McCain: Favors parental choice of schools, including vouchers for private schools when approved by local officials, and right of parents to choose home schooling. More money for community college education.

Obama: Encourage but not require universal pre-kindergarten programs, expand teacher mentoring programs and reward teachers with higher pay not tied to standardized test scores, in $18 billion plan to be paid for in part by delaying elements of moon and Mars missions. Change No Child Left Behind law "so that we're not just teaching to a test and crowding out programs like art and music." Tax credit to pay up to $4,000 of college expenses for students who perform 100 hours of community service a year.

GAY MARRIAGE

McCain: Opposes constitutional amendment to ban it. Says same-sex couples should be allowed to enter into legal agreements for insurance and similar benefits.

Obama: Opposes constitutional amendment to ban it. Supports civil unions, says states should decide about marriage.

GLOBAL WARMING

McCain: Broke with President Bush on global warming. Led Senate effort to cap greenhouse gas emissions; favors tougher fuel efficiency. Favors plan that would see greenhouse gas emissions cut by 60 percent by 2050. Supports more nuclear power.

Obama: Ten-year, $150 billion program to produce "climate friendly" energy supplies that he'd pay for with a carbon auction requiring businesses to bid competitively for the right to pollute. Joined McCain in sponsoring earlier legislation that would set mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions. Supports tougher fuel efficiency standards.

GUN CONTROL

McCain: Voted against ban on assault-type weapons but in favor of requiring background checks at gun shows. Voted to shield gun-makers and dealers from civil suits. "I believe the Second Amendment ought to be preserved _ which means no gun control."

Obama: Voted to leave gun-makers and dealers open to suit. Also, as Illinois state lawmaker, supported ban on all forms of semiautomatic weapons and tighter state restrictions generally on firearms.

HEALTH CARE

McCain: $2,500 refundable tax credit for individuals, $5,000 for families, to make health insurance more affordable. No mandate for universal coverage. In gaining the tax credit, workers could not deduct the portion of their workplace health insurance paid by their employers.

Obama: Mandatory coverage for children, no mandate for adults. Aim for universal coverage by requiring employers to share costs of insuring workers and by offering coverage similar to that in plan for federal employees. Says package would cost up to $65 billion a year after unspecified savings from making system more efficient. Raise taxes on wealthier families to pay the cost.

HOUSING

McCain: Open to helping homeowners facing foreclosure if they are "legitimate borrowers" and not speculators.

Obama: Tax credit covering 10 percent of annual mortgage interest payments for "struggling homeowners," scoring system for consumers to compare mortgages, a fund for mortgage fraud victims, new penalties for mortgage fraud, aid to state and local governments stung by housing crisis, in $20 billion plan geared to "responsible homeowners."

IMMIGRATION

McCain: Sponsored 2006 bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S., work and apply to become legal residents after learning English, paying fines and back taxes and clearing a background check. Now says he would secure the border first. Supports border fence.

Obama: Voted for 2006 bill offering legal status to illegal immigrants subject to conditions, including English proficiency and payment of back taxes and fines. Voted for border fence.

IRAN

McCain: Favors tougher sanctions, opposes direct high-level talks with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Obama: Initially said he would meet Ahmadinejad without preconditions, now says he's not sure "Ahmadinejad is the right person to meet with right now." But says direct diplomacy with Iranian leaders would give U.S. more credibility to press for tougher international sanctions.

IRAQ

McCain: Opposes scheduling a troop withdrawal, saying latest strategy is succeeding. Supported decision to go to war, but was early critic of the manner in which administration prosecuted it. Key backer of the troop increase. Willing to have permanent U.S. peacekeeping forces in Iraq.

Obama: Spoke against war at start, opposed troop increase. Now says his plan would complete withdrawal of combat troops by end of 2009, four months sooner than his previous commitment. Before that, had said a timetable for completing withdrawal would be irresponsible without knowing what facts he'd face in office.

SOCIAL SECURITY

McCain: Would consider "almost anything" as part of a compromise to save Social Security, yet rules out higher payroll taxes for now.

Obama: Proposes raising cap with an unspecified "small adjustment" that would subject a portion of higher incomes to Social Security taxes.

STEM CELL RESEARCH

McCain: Supports relaxing federal restrictions on financing of embryonic stem cell research.

Obama: Supports relaxing restrictions on federal financing of embryonic stem cell research.

TAXES

McCain: "No new taxes" if elected. Twice opposed Bush's tax cuts, at first because he said they were tilted to the wealthiest and again because of the unknown costs of Iraq war. Now says those tax cuts, expiring in 2010, should be permanent. Proposes cutting corporate tax rate to 25 percent. Promises balance budget in first term, says that is unlikely in his first year.

Obama: Raise income taxes on wealthiest and their capital gains and dividends taxes. Raise corporate taxes. $80 billion in tax breaks mainly for poor workers and elderly, including tripling Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credit for larger families. Eliminate tax-filing requirement for older workers making under $50,000. A mortgage-interest credit could be used by lower-income homeowners who do not take the mortgage interest deduction because they do not itemize their taxes.

TRADE

McCain: Free trade advocate.

Obama: Seek to reopen North American Free Trade Agreement to strengthen enforcement of labor and environmental standards. In 2004 Senate campaign, called for "enforcing existing trade agreements," not amending them.

Obama, McCain and the Religion Factor

There is an article in today's (Sunday, May 25, 2008) online edition of the Houston Chronicle comparing and contrasting Barack Hussein Obama and his relationship with racist, radical preacher Jeremiah Wright and John Sidney McCain and evangelical pastor John Hagee.

The Chronicle article is the same old rhetoric from the liberal press. The interesting comments come from the "Comments" section.

If you get a chance, stop by and check them out. I used to post on the Chronicle's forum as "TexasTruth" but was banned by the "Chronicle Thought Police." It seems I had too many people hitting the "report abuse" button because they disagreed with me.

I post as a different reader now. See if you can figure out who it is.

Take care and have a good Memorial Day weekend. Please remember our veterans.
