"I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you to understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military, to which you and other good men have devoted years, lifetimes, of the best service you could give." Bill Clinton's draft letter, Dec. 3rd, 1969

"I don't really consider ourselves at war," Nancy Pelosi

"American troops...had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam..." and (had)committed warcrimes "on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command." John Kerry testifying to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, April 22, 1971

"After being blocked from holding a ceremony honoring the war dead at Arlington National Cemetery, the veterans marched to the Capitol to present sixteen demands to Congress...the soldiers began flinging their war medals over a high wire fence in front of the Capitol: Purple Hearts, Bronze Star Medals, Silver Stars -- bits of ribbon and metal hurled in the face of the government that had so betrayed them...One of them was John Kerry, Vietnam Navy veteran and aspiring politician who had been among those who organized the protest. Kerry flung a handful of medals -- he had received the Silver Star, a Bronze Star Medal, and three Purple Hearts -- over the fence..But years later, after his election to the Senate, Kerry's medals turned up on the wall of his Capitol Hill office. When a reporter noticed them, Kerry admitted that the medals he had thrown that day were not his....excerpts from"Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of its Heroes and its History" pg. 130-137

Now for the kicker!!! And this aint no bull. This info is taken from www.wintersoldier.com

"Communist Vietnamese honor John Kerry, the war protestor, as a hero in their victory over the United States in the Vietnam War.

In the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the "War Crimes Museum") in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), a photograph of John Kerry hangs in a room dedicated to the anti-war activists who helped the Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. The photograph shows Senator Kerry being greeted by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade Do Muoi.

  The date of the photo in question is somewhere between July 15-18 1993 . Of course this was brought out during the 2004 campaign by the Swift Boat Veterans, but it bears seeing again. Just in case someone REALLY thinks ol John was talking about GW on 30 Oct., 2006. I also added the rest of those quotes just so you know what the Democrats REALLY think of our military folks and our war on terrorism. Scary, aint it???  Ok if that dont scare you think about this: Nancy Pelosi, two heart-beats away from the Presidency.  And if that STILL dont scare you, than just look at a photo of her.  That would scare anyone!!!!

  2).  To all my conservative Republican friends. Yeah you know who you are. Your either not gonna vote or not vote Republican on Nov. 7 to protest what has passed for Republicanism over these past 8 years. Ok so your mad at the growth of government, your mad at the high deficit, or your mad, like me, at the Republican leadership for being Democrats in Republican suits or for whatever reason, now is NOT the time to jump ship. Look at it logically. You could either vote Republican, and sleep safe and sound, or vote Democrat and worry about your safety.  And lets not lull ourselves into some false security that if we let 'em win now, we'll get 'em in 2008.  The McCain-Feingold campaign reform act pretty well insured that incumbents will always get re-elected.  So if the Democrats take control on Nov. 7, they'll stay in control for a looong time.  Not only because of campaign reform but also, remember, they are the media darlings. 

  So I know what I'm gonna do. I'm voting for the guys with the proven track record in fighting terrorism: the Republicans. God willing and they stay in control, Im gonna spend the next two years here bloggin away, trying to get the Party back on track. God forbid if they lose and Pelosi and her gang take over, well, you know, those caves in Tora Bora might actually be safer than the US.

 3).).  Speaking of the Republican Party, heres a subliminal message from me to them: Think Rick Santorum for President.  Thats right, you heard me.  Rick Santorum.  And why not?  Who else do we have?  Newt Gingrich....damaged goods.  Sorry, but this election will mean to much to run someone thats good fodder for the media.  John McCain....nope, not a Reagan Republican.  He does have good war credentials tho. 

  Nope Rick Santorum would be my choice for moving the Republican Party back to its roots and back to the ideals and principles so eloquently stated by the late President Ronald Reagan.  Catch this op-ed piece he wrote for Townhall.com in Nov. 2005:

What I call "Compassionate Conservatism" has something unique to offer to the shaping of our future.

Compassionate Conservatism relies on healthy families, freedom of faith, a vibrant civil society, a proper understanding of the individual and a focused government to achieve noble purposes through definable objectives which offers hope to all. [...]

Conservatism is based upon the idea of preserving the good in our society, adding to it the wisdom of experience coupled with the courage and optimism of a new generation. This formula inspired Reagan and Thatcher to hope, and to work together to change the world. Let us build upon their example to be a beacon of hope in this troubled world

So win or lose Tuesday, Im starting my "Santorum  for President" movement . 

4).  Speaking of Presidential elections, and I was, expect Hilliary Clinton to announce her candidacy for President 5 seconds after she wins her senatorial re-election in NY.  My prediction is she wont make it thru the primaries.  Its not that America isnt ready for a woman President, its just Hilliary aint the woman for the job.

5).  And finally, but most important.....the election is 4 days away!!!!
For our sakes and the sakes of our children and grandchildren, choose wisely!!!!!!

"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Proverbs 29:2

First, let me start off by stating I am a Christian. If this offends you, I make no apologies. I do not have a bumper sticker on my car that says: “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?” I already know. I have this book at home called the Bible, which tells me what Jesus did and would do. I am a full time Christian, not a part-time Christian. I look at the difference being, a full time Christian views Christianity as an all or nothing proposition. You either embrace the teachings of Christ and the Words of the Bible one hundred percent, or not at all. Part-time Christians believe they can pick and choose which teachings they accept or reject. 
 
  I am a Christian, but also a voter. The paradox is resolved when I stay with my adherence to my beliefs and testament to my faith even into the voting booth. I look at the candidates and their stand on the issues of the day. I take their stand and political rhetoric and match it against what is taught in the Bible, the ultimate litmus test. I know in my heart, nothing will be 100%. So, like everyone else, I look for the closest match.

  I knew it was only a matter of time. No matter how hard they fight it, the Democratic Party knows that President Bush was re-elected on the strength of Christian voters. We know they are desperate and want back in. So how long would it be before they try to present themselves as an acceptable alternative for Christian voters. All they have to do is to try to change our thinking on what are important issues to us. And voila!!!! Along comes former Democratic Congressman Martin Frost who wrote an article for FOXnews.com on Oct. 2, 2006, entitled “New Book Says Religious Right is Wrong About Christian Value" in which he makes the following statement: "Jesus would have been a Democrat had he been alive today. After all, he preached about helping the poor and the peaceful resolution of disputes. ...Jesus had little in common with the current day religious right with its preoccupation with abortion, gay rights and stem cell research."

  To say I was a little amazed at that statement would be an exaggeration. Shoot, I was shell-shocked!!!! He talks about a book written by another liberal Democrat, Bob Edgar, entitled: “Middle Church – Reclaiming the Moral Values of the Faithful Majority from the Religious Right”. Reading Mr. Frost’s article, I came to the conclusion that he had anointed Mr. Edgar as the vision of what a true Christian should be.  True Christians should only be involved with feeding the poor, avoiding war, and protecting the environment. His covert idea is that once Christians subscribe to what he and Mr. Edgar believes are important, the only party that to support would be the Democratic Party. Interesting theory Mr. Frost. To bad you and your party just don’t get it!!! Here are my bullet arguments why Christ would not have been a Democrat:

• He would have not supported any political party (John 18:36 "...My Kingdom is not of this world"...)
• He would not have supported any persons or groups that advocated abortion or embryonic stem cell research(Matthew 18:6 "...But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea"...)
• He would have never supported same sex marriage (Matthew 19: 4-6 "...Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female....For this cause shall a man leave Father and Mother and shall cleave to his wife:and they twain shall be one flesh?...)
• He would have railed against the immorality that permeates every fabric of our society today (Matthew 19:8, Mark 10: 5-12, and Luke 16:18)

   Sorry Mr. Frost, the evidence doesnt add up to Jesus being a Democrat, does it?
   
  There is so more to being a Christian than just helping the poor, avoiding war, and saving the environment. Every major religion supports those themes whether it is the Torah or the Quran or even Eastern religions. Even atheists and secularists preach these same ideas. So what does the Democratic Party have to do to entice true Christians to their party?

  If the Democratic Party wants to be the party of Christians, it must join in the condemnation of immoral practices it now supports. Therein lays their problem. It would have to condemn the sin of homosexuality, and embrace the Bible's teaching of marriage between man and woman, thus alienating their new found voting base, the gay community. They would have to forsake their position on abortion in the face of outrage of the feminists. It would have to condemn the vulgarity and promiscuity that is part of Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole and risk losing the huge campaign contributions they receive. The Democrats would have to insist that parents be notified when schools are passing out condoms and teaching sex education and same sex partnerships to children. Doing so would cost them the support of the NEA and teacher's unions.

  In short, the Democrats would have to take the road less traveled; the difficult road, the one Christians take every day. The road not based on being safe and non-threatening, but the road outlined in the Bible.

  Can we Christians forget the legacy of the Clinton years? Eight years of having to endure the most amoral person ever to occupy the White House. Yes, we bring up William Jefferson Clinton again. Bill Clinton, liar, adulterer, liar, sexual harasser, liar, philanderer, liar, (did I mention liar?) and if the reports are to be believed, rapist.

  The man who many Democrats, including Mr. Frost, held to high esteem and honor unlike any president before him. They spent eight years humiliating, degrading, and insulting any and all Christians who opposed Clinton. They told us his adultery wasn’t a sin, it was his private life. They spun webs of deceit covering his crimes and misdemeanors. They willfully violated every teaching and every principle in the Bible to support this man. And they did it with a smile on their face. 

  Now they are desperate. They haven’t had control of Congress for 12 years and the White House for 6 years. It is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they are dying to be corrupted again. For some inexplicable reason they believe they now must become the party of the Christian faith. But to do that they insist that we Christians must abandon all of our principles and let they the Democrats dictate to us what we believe. They want us to keep our beliefs generic and innocuous thereby being acceptable to their other secular supporters. Feed the hungry, support anti-war groups, and worry about the environment. Three ideas designed to offend no one. Talk about wanting your cake and eating it too!!!

  So what are we left with? Can we safely say that the Democratic Party now wants to be the party of the group it has loathed for at least the last 20 years? Can we forget the late seventies and eighties when Democrats were oh so happy to call us conservative Christian kooks? Do they now need us to win? The answer would have to be a resounding yes, as long as they can get us to change our beliefs and priorities. This is unacceptable to us. So sorry Mr. Frost as true Christians we must obey all the Words of the Bible.

  Remembering the shame of those times and listening to Mr. Frost and others of the Democratic Party now try to woo Christian voters into their camp, leaves me very skeptical of their motives. I can only conclude that they are trying whatever it takes to get votes.   When they are elected we'll be put on the shelf and forgotten. We'll be again saddled with part-time Christians making governmental decisions and we'll be told that it’s not a question of morality, but what's best for the public good.

Does give you thoughts to ponder............
