CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Since Ronald Reagan, the country has wanted continued change and improvement in America.
The nation elected Bill Clinton because he persuaded us that he wanted to help us and this nation in achieving those changes.
THEN, we elected those rascally Republicans, who traditionally are conservative, but they showed us they were no better than the Progressive party Clinton came from. His greatest failure was his trying to cram health care down our throats, so then we expected the Republicans to set us back on the right track.... but that was not to be. Those Republicans began to act like the spending Democrats we just voted out of office.
AHH, then along came Obama:  "Change you can believe in"  "Yes we can" ..... mantras that rang so true to us. As voters, we were still voting for the progressive growth of America. Nine-eleven occured, and we wanted to show the world we can not be beat, and we also wanted to show the world that as a nation, we will not only overcome our enemies, but we will continue to prosper as a individuals and as a nation. So, that smooth, easy talking Obama lulled us into believing he will put this nation back on the track the Republicans fell off. As a nation, we are not concerned whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, so long as you and this nation is headed in the same direction.
But, 2 years later we found out that Obama has a different view of how this country should be viewed in the world. He and his administration has driven this nation into near poverty; certainly they have driven us into debt; a debt no one could have forcasted 2 years ago.
BUT, have the voters changed their views? No,..we are still wanting someone to lead this nation into the future, and remove the restrictions that disallows Americans to prosper and get wealthy. We still want this country to be the "city on the hill". SOOO, we are now looking to those people who boisterously want to re-establish this nation as the example for the world to follow. The grass roots people are coming out of the wood work and establishing themselves as the change we have been looking for since Reagan. The "Tea Party" politicians are those people. But just look at this with your eyes wide open: nothing has changed with voters; with Americans; we want small government, freedom, lower taxes, secure borders, and the prosperity these elements provide. Nothing has changed with voters, but a lot has changed with the politicians. From Clinton to Bush to Obama, we got a lot of promises, but no one delivered on those promises. We continue to want to prosper, and we continue to look for politicians who will provide the avenue for those things to occur. Just look at this with a little reality......this nation wants to continue to be the worlds' example for all other countries. We are not ashamed of prosperity; we are not ashamed to be able to live comfortably and with all the amenities a prosperous nation can and will provide.  Today, the "Tea Party" offers those solutions, and neither of the other parties can or do offer those solutions. We haven't changed as a nation, we just have to look in different areas for the people we want to lead us.

WHY DOES OBAMA PERSUE BIN LADEN?

George Bush thought he had the backing of the Iraqi people when he attacked that country; so he got on board the aircraft carrier and boldly announced "Mission Accomplished", as if he then expected the Iraqi's to establish their own government and democratize the nation.
Now we have Obama, sending drone after drone into Afghanistan and Pakistan to try to kill Bin Laden, but for reasons you might not be aware of. Bin Laden actually has thwarted the stealth efforts of the Islamic nations to infiltrate America, and quietly establish a "beach head" of Muslim and Sharia law, in our back yard. Bin Laden is not a warrior FOR Islam, he is a warrior for Muhamad and Allah; and like "My mood I'm in a Jihad" (the leader of Iran) he too wants to make the way for the "Messiah" to establish his caliphate. Ultimately their goals are the same, but Bin Laden believes in physical warfare and the others intend to win via psychological warfare, at least until they are in a better, stronger position in America, to then use physical force.
SO....is Obama supporting the silent method of Muslimizing America, or does he really think that killing Bin Laden will end the terrorism?
I suspect, Obama hopes to kill Bin Laden and then "re-establish" communications with the Muslim world, which will lead to an appearance of reconciliation, and the re-establishing of the stealth take-over of America.
My hope is that the coming November elections will put an end to all this. It will not be a matter of just wining the election, but of changing the direction this country is headed in. The election MUST provide this country with Conservative, Constitutional leadership, and quickly end most of the entitlement programs and governmental agencies we have. We need an immediate change in the tax law to either a flat tax or a fair tax with a constitutional addendum which will make changing the new tax law impossible without a constitutional amendment. If the election doesn't change the makeup of the current government, this country is doomed. I mean literally, doomed. It will never be a shining light upon a hill ever again. What has been passed by the Progressives will be amended into even worse legislation and the onslaught of additional legislation in the next 2 years will undo capitalism, irreparably.
There are lessons in the Bible, one of which comes to mind: Jesus was speaking, "when you see the fig leaves on the trees, you know summer is approaching"; so too must we recognize the signs of the times. If we see the Progressives return to power, .........?

BOOK BURNING

I don't have an opinion either way, concerning the burning of the Koran in Florida. BUT, I do have an opinion concerning the reactions to this intended burning.
There is much more to be gained by the publicity on this action, than rather by the act itself. Look, just what the heck does it matter what book is burned in your own back yard. Heck, I burn a lot of magazines and newspapers, and these media also have a lot of controversy in them. So, what is the hub - bub all about?
It would seem that the very act of burning a book isn't anything anyone cares about, but there does seem to be something of concern by telling everyone that you are going to burn a book. BUT, THAT still isn't the issue. The issue is why the heck do we care what others do in response to this book burning? Do you mean to tell me that I cannot perform a normal function of getting rid of trash, if there is some sort of disagreement with why I am doing it?
We even have a Military General stating his dissatisfaction with this event, as if what happens in Florida, in someones back yard, will affect what goes on in the Middle East. That is absolute bolderdash. If any individual or people collectively, reacting to this simple matter of getting rid of a book, can actually stop me or anyone else from burning that product, then they are the ones who we ought to be concerned with. Kooks like that who react violently to a simple act, are a real threat to not only themselves but anyone who they come into contact with. It is reasonable to consider these people dangerous, who have an agenda, and whom could care less about others. It is reasonable to believe, a country that cowers to these militants is in danger of giving in to them so much that we are in danger of losing our freedoms.
Where is the back bone of the good Ole USA?  Why do we now stand stooped over at the mere anger of militants? Where is the spine this country was built on? Doesn't all this just make you sick; sick that we are losing our country and our freedoms? Why does a book burning, make the leaders of the greatest country in the world, whimper?

WHY AMERICA DOESN'T GET IT

I cannot make this presentation better than its origin: Out of the book "War of Ideas" by Walid Phares (a world renowned terrorism and Middle East expert) I will quote excerpts from merely one page. The book is very informative and anyone will be enlightened who takes the time to read it. You too, will see why America cowers to the enemy..and why if nothing is done, we will lose to this enemy.  Elections matter; politicians can frame the future, but a better informed America is our best defense.

Page 194

"In the West, the central battlefields over the perception of the world remain academic and educational. As detailed earlier, at least three generations of graduates of oil-funded programs have been launched into the national market, and thereby into the media, government, and arts. Even if new waves of petrodollars were stopped today, the funding over the last two decades has created a self sustaining entity in Western, and particularly American, educational institutions. The penetration is too deep to be addressed in one generation. Three generations of scholars, researchers, and teachers have consolidated their positions, programs, and influence in about a thousand institutions. Even as the war with Jihadism is raging in the real world, and America is facing off with the most dangerous enemy infiltrations it has ever known, the bulk of its students are being educated today by an elite that refuses to teach the real history and politics of the jihadists. Post 9/11 politics and elections, regardless of the winners, will not affect this greater cultural crisis. Unless an intellectual revolution takes place and academic reform follows, it is unlikely that the United States will produce the talents needed for the current and future conflicts of ideas......."

We see the end of the "Mass Media" because of these very reasons...they are not telling Americans the truth. In fact, you can hear them siding with the enemy under the cloak of being "sensitive" to them. We don't want to offend the Middle Eastern people, now do we? All the while the Middle Easterners are demonstrating in-sensitivities to everyone who does not agree with them. Heck, it doesn't seem to bother our news outlets that Jihadists butcher anyone that offends them. No no no, instead we are supposed to understand that they were so incensed, that torturing and butchering is okay behavior for the offended.

I say, pull American troops out of every Middle Eastern country; shut down all foreign military bases and hunker down. Let those who do not want our help, sort out their own mess. Too many American soldiers have died for people who do not want civility, but Sharia law. We can't impose our beliefs on  anyone and are only hated for intervening in their domestic affairs. We had our own civil war, let them decide their own destiny, also.
