A French man lectures Americans

You know America has to be the most wonderful place on the planet when you have other nations praising the American people for electing a half African, born and partially raised Muslim to the office of President.


Oh now don't get in a tizzy. Look at the facts not your feelings. Barack was born to a white American woman and an African Kenyan who was a Muslim. Now in the world of the Muslim, that makes the child a Muslim. And indeed Barack attended Muslim schools up until his return to the USA at the age of about 10. So don't get on me about saying Barack is half Muslim because the facts are the facts.


Do I believe he is a Christian now? Well, I have to take him at his word and the fact that he sat in a racist Christian church for about 20 years. But that does not mean he has broken his ties with his Muslim heritage. In fact many of his relatives on his fathers side still reside in Kenya and still are Muslims. It is very hard to totally disregard you childhood and your early training.


But that is not the real topic of this article. The real topic is how the whole world now views the USA in a different light because we elected Obama. How about this story by Ethan Bronner out of Gaza City, Gaza Strip. For those of you that don't know where that is, look on your world map and locate Israel. Now look to the west and you will find Gaza Strip. Yes it looks like a strip. Thus the name.


But again I digress. Ethan writes in an article titled “Around the World, Many See an Ideal Renewed.” An ideal RENEWED? Ethan starts his article thus:


“From far away, this is how it looks: There is a country out there where tens of millions of white Christians, voting freely, select as their leader a black man of modest origin, the son of a Muslim. There is a place on Earth – call it America – where such a thing happens.”


OK, now this is just so wrong on so many levels. I don't even know where to begin. How about the fact that Barack got about 60 million votes and of that tens of millions of those votes were cast by non whites. Do the people of the middle east think that the USA is made up of 300 million white people? Come on, we are talking about people who want to rid the world of some other white people called Jews and they have nerve to lecture us about human rights?


Now I wont rewrite the whole article here but there is another point in the article that really frosted me. “Even where the United States is held in special contempt, like here in this benighted Palestinian coastal strip, the “glorious epic of Barack Obama,” as the leftist French editor Jean Daniel calls it, makes America – the idea as much as the actual place – stand again, perhaps only fleetingly, for limitless possibility.”


Hey Jean Daniel, the very existence of the USA is due to the limitless possibility of its people and its government ideals. America has been an actual place for over 200 years and we have stood the test of time while your very own nation has gone through, what, three forms of government.


Are we in the USA going to have to deal with what the rest of the world thinks of us? Seriously, will Obama bend to the will of the world and change our nation to look more like the failed governments of the world?


Hey Jean Daniel, people are dying and risking life and limb to get into the USA. They travel through the desert heat of the day and the freezing cold in the dark of night to get here. They build shanty floating craft to cross great expanses of water to get here. The float clinging to the side of rafts with their children huddling in the middle of that raft in order to get here. The last time I checked, people were not flocking to France or most other nations on this planet. We have had one stable government for over 200 years while your left leaning country has had three. And you have nerve to tell us that we are now living up to our ideal as a nation. Give me a break. We have always lived up to our ideals as a nation. That is evidenced by the scores of people who flock here legally and illegally.


What scares me is that Barack may be more interested in how these leftist idiots view us instead of how we Americans want to see ourselves. We are not beholden to the world. Screw humility for a moment. We are the nation that saved the whole damned world, TWICE! And we need to listen to some leftist jerk tell us how to run our nation, how to live?


No my friends, liberty and freedom is not dictated by those who wish to limit them. Liberty and freedom is fought for and protected by those who hold it dear. That someone over the last century has been the USA. No other nation on the planet has ever done more to advance the cause of freedom than the USA. No other nation in history has accomplished what the USA has especially in such a short period of time.


But we have those who wish us to be more like them. Less free. Less open. Less prosperous. But that is not America. That is not the ideal of the USA where opportunity is limitless. Yes, in our nation, a half African can indeed become President.


And to think, we did all of this when France could not even keep its borders safe, its people safe, its government in tact. And now this arrogant, leftist idiot dares to say we now are fulfilling our ideal because we may have elected a Muslim sympathizer? I tell you to look as France right now and you will see they are having a very hard time with an overflowing population of Muslims? Is this what Jean Daniel wants for our nation as well?


I think, unlike most nations on earth, America is a place where any race, religion, nationality, creed has a chance at producing a man or woman to become President. We are a people that continues to grow simply because we love freedom and liberty. And we see that everyone deserves to experience and live in that freedom and liberty. We believe it so strongly that we are willing to die to help others get that freedom and liberty.


I guess Jean Daniel would prefer that the USA would be more like France or some Middle Eastern Nation. But if we were, who would come to the rescue of France and free them from the tyranny of some tyrant that wishes to rule over them with an iron fist? Maybe the nation of Egypt would suite his needs of an open society better. Somehow I don't see Egypt or any other nation rushing to save France and Jean Daniel from tyranny any time soon.


Guess we better keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave so we can save human rights across the world so that Jean Daniel has the freedom to say stupid stuff like this and so Ethan Bronner can write articles of absurdity such as this.


God bless America for America has definitely blessed the world.

WMD's wer not a lie nor a joke, But the Liberals would like you to think so

There has been a lot of talk about the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq or the lack there of. We didn't seem to find many up to date weapons after our invasion five years ago. The calls began to go out that Bush lied and that there never were WMD in Iraq.


Well we know that Saddam did have such weapons because he used them on his own people. He had scud missiles that he sent to Israel during the first Gulf Conflict. He could have easily modified the warheads to carry chemical weapons and he did do so.


We know, though he was not able to get his hands on any, that Saddam was looking to acquire nuclear material or weapons.


There has been a lot of talk about how no WMD's were found in Iraq. However the dirty little secret is that if you notice they always say none were found in IRAQ. They do not say that Saddam never had them and was not trying to get more or build more.


In fact just about every report indicates that Saddam was trying to rebuild his WMD machine. And report after report indicates what intelligent and logical people know. Saddam and his high ranking trusted Generals began shipping his WMD's to his ally in Syria.


We also know that Saddam was willing to send some of his military equipment to his enemy, Iran to keep it from being captured or destroyed by the American Army.


The problem is the American people have been falsely led to believe that Saddam did not have any WMD. But we can see report and story after report and story that he did and was looking for more. Even newspapers that are not typically conservative have delved into this and dug up some interesting facts.


The New York Sun had a report back in January of 2006 about this. This was about the time that the Liberal Democrats were starting to ratchet up their lies and rhetoric for the run for the White House.


A Lebanese report back in 2004 indicated that a WMD program was being hidden in Syria and that Saddam and even North Korea were in on it.


The news is so prevalent that even the bloggesphere has a buzz about it. One blog, Stix, that says this;

There is a report to come out that says Saddam transfered weapons to Syria. Who would have thought of that???

An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.
Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

So it would seem that just about everyone knows that Saddam had WMD and was willing to use them and was willing to get more of them. So then why do the Democrats and the Liberal American press want to keep up with the lie that they did not exist?


Simple. They want power. They want to paint Bush as a liar and a thief. They want to portray our President as a spoiled little brat that is doing his fathers bidding by getting the man that he could not get when he was President.


They want to say that Republican Conservatives are nothing but war machine and oil baron promoters. They want to get into office so bad so they can take your freedom away. Why else would they be so willing to lie and put you and your family and our country at risk? They have their own agenda and they have their own WMD.


The American and Wold Liberal media is out to get the Democrats in office. They know how good it was when Bill Clinton was President. They want those years back. They want more open borders. They want more free transfer of classified and sensitive information and technology. They want the US people to be more vulnerable because in a way it makes their own nations more safe.


They want a weaker USA. In short, they know who will give them what they want. Liberal Democrats. So the next time you hear one of them say that Bush lied or there were NEVER WMD in Iraq:


Stop. Think. Vote.

Battle in Iraq, a position paper

The War in Iraq.

First we need to get one thing straight. It is not the “War” in Iraq. That is like saying it was the War of the Bulge. That is wrong because it misses the big picture. It is the “Battle” of Iraq. Its the War on Terror.

The main stream press has made this battle seem like a stand alone war. That misses the big picture. Iraq is a part of the whole war on terror. Even the White House mentions it wrongly on numerous occasions.

If you notice we don't call it the War in Afghanistan. The main stream press calls it a conflict or battle. Why then do they make a distinction with Iraq? Simple, its because the left does not want you, the general public, to see the correlation between Iraq and the war on terror.

The left fails to tell you about how much a ruthless dictator Saddam Hussein was. They forget to mention that this man killed thousands of his own people using weapons of mass destruction. They forget to tell you about how Saddam sponsored terrorism. They forget to tell you that Saddam offered to pay the families of suicide bombers in Israel. They forget to tell you that Saddam ignored nearly all of the United Nations resolutions that he agreed to at the end of Desert Storm.

You also hear the Democrat presidential candidates talk about pulling out of Iraq. They talk about how they would “end the War in Iraq”. The problem is that they know there is no war there. Its a battle within the war on terror. They also know that they cannot pull all troops out of there any time soon or they will create a vacuum that would be filled by just about every radical Islamist in the world.

They also fail to tell the American people that pulling out of Iraq does not mean pulling all troops out of the Middle East.

Here is the truth about the War on Terror and the Middle East. We, the USA, cannot pull out of those nations in the middle east. No President will pull out all troops out of Iraq when they take office and for good reason. They also know that the threat to the American people here and abroad remains great and that pulling out as the radicals demand, would in no way reduce the danger to our nation and its citizens abroad.

Look at Spain. They pulled out yet still suffer attacks from Islamist. England has announced its pullout and reduced its troops to the bear minimum yet they still are targets for attacks. This is not a war for oil. We can see that by the price at the pump and in our home heating oil tanks. We have fuel bills that are the highest they have ever been. Hardly a war for oil.

This is not a touchy featly thing that will just go away because we want the world to love us again. The United States is loved the world over by the people of the world. Yes world governments may not like us so much but that is for a number of reasons including just plain old jealousy. The people of the world still risk life and limb to get into this country legally and illegally. You don't find so many people trying to get into any other nation as much or as often as they do in the USA.

In short, there is no pull out in the near future for our troops. It is not the USA that needs to work to be liked. It is the radicals that need to accept our right to live on this planet in peace and if they do not accept that basic fact, we should respond in a way that they understand even if that means occupation of some other nations.
This is a world wide threat. No nation is safe so long as these radicals roam free to reek havoc on innocent people. As long as our armed forces engage the enemy on their turf, the chance of them being able to successfully hit us on our own soil is less.

That is what this War on Terror is all about. Our safety. Indeed, its about our very survival. Simple. Logical. The right thing to do for you and your children.

My Intro, What I believe

I have been asked a lot about my positions on many topics and issues that relate to all areas of our political, moral, social and economic system of government.

First, you should know I am not a “rich” person. In other words, I do not earn over $250 per year. I am not white, well at least most of me is not. I am Native American (Cherokee and Osage), Black (African American), French (from France) all rolled into one human being who is all American. Born and raised in these United States.

My views come from having a father who was a career military man and by my being raised in many parts of the USA and abroad. I have seen how some of the rest of the world lives and yes I have even been to a few cities and towns in Canada.

I pride myself on logic and principle instead of emotion. That does not mean I don't have a heart. Jesus Christ had the biggest heart of any man who ever lived however, he was full of logic and principle. I cannot ever hope to reach such a level as Christ but that does not mean I cannot try to emulate Him.

I will begin to take one issue at a time on a daily basis and give my position and try to express in words why that position makes sense on a number of levels. I will not shy away from any issue. If I don't know anything or enough about a particular issue I am not afraid to say so and will en devour to research and find out more before giving my position.

Does this sound like a man running for political office? I hope not because that is not my intent. Although I have been asked by everyday people (not politicians) to run for local offices from school boards to state senates. I have refused all request. Why would I do such a thing? Because at this point in my life, I believe I can be more effective by staying outside of the political arena. Not to mention, I would never thrust my family, my children, into such a spotlight.

The horrific anal exam my entire family would have to endure would not be fair to them. However, as my family grows, the thought of public office may be something that will make logical sense. It does not make logic sense at this time for me and my family.

I am sure I will begin to attract the attention of those who not only disagree with my positions for a number of reasons. I am not afraid of such scrutiny. Do I have things in my past that I wish to remain private? Of course I do. There is not a human being on this planet that doesn't. Will I lie about those things if asked? Not on your life.

We have all done things in our past that we are not proud of and I am of no exception. We have all made mistakes in our past, again I am no exception. It proves I am human and I am normal. I challenge every political person to be as open with their past or at least as honest when the light shines on the dark corners of who they are.

I know I will make some angry. I know I will make some cheer. I know some will think me insensitive. I know some will think I need to be locked away. I know some will think I sold out to “the man”. I know some will think me a tad shy of sheer genius. I know some will just hurl insult after insult at me. I know some will think me but a puppet of the establishment or a pawn of the anarchist.

I will be first and foremost honest, truthful, plain, sincere and logical. That is something I can promise and deliver. So if you want to know more about what my positions are, then over the next few weeks

Why I wont Vote Democrat for President

Here in New Hampshire we are bombarded every minute of everyday by all the candidates on both sides of the political isle. Our local TV station, WMUR Channel 9, has been running video of debate questions with each candidate answering.

Once recent question was (paraphrasing) "Gas and Oil is at all time high, what would you do to lower this cost?"

I listened to all of their answers. And I was totally flabbergasted by the answers. None of them were honest. If they were then that is even more reason NOT to vote for them. If they have something like this wrong, then what else do they have wrong?

They all blamed big oil and our lack of conservation for our high oil prices. First of all, if they don't know how all this works, then how would they know how other aspects of our economy, other aspects of the world, work?

Oil prices are not high because we use "more than our fair share." The entire world has changed. We don't allow oil exploration within our own borders. Because of that, we must buy a good portion of our energy from overseas. This puts us in direct competition with with 3 billion people.

Two of the largest countries in the world are fighting and growing their way into the 21st century. China with 1.2 billion people and India with 1 billion people have middle and upper classes that are growing at alarming rates. This creates a need for energy. This need is far outstripping our need for the same energy. And because they need this energy to grow and pull their people out of the stone age, they are willing to pay more for it.

This is simple supply and demand. However, all of the Democrats do not see this global demand, this global growth as the cause for the rapid rise in crude oil prices. They point to the fact that the USA is the bad guy. How wrong can you be on something that is so blatantly obvious?

With just a few clicks of the computer mouse, anyone can find information about how fast the far east is growing. For example, Shanghai, China in 1960 had only ONE skyscraper. Today they have more than 300 with hundreds more being built or being planned. You don't grow that fast without needing energy.

The best way for the USA to lower its energy cost is to stop limiting our ability to get at our own reserves. That means drilling in the Gulf, Alaska, off the coasts of California and the Southeast. Sure alternative fuels should be developed as well as conservation. However, there is no safe, reliable and affordable alternative available right now. Even if we did everything we could we would not be able to conserve enough to stop depending on oil from abroad. Not to mention the estimate that the USA will have 400 million people by the year 2050. That is 100 million more people than we have today. All of those people will need energy.

If we do not act now to tap our own abundant oil and gas reserves then we will be at the mercy of nations like China and India and our gas and oil prices will skyrocket to levels that even European nations cannot conceive.

None of the Democrats are willing to admit this so therefore there is no possible way they can have any other major issue this country faces in proper perspective. They are not fit to lead our nation. Simple.
