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 110th 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 110th 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.
