Apocalypse Now?

Let's see. The revived Russian Bear is on the move against our allies in eastern Europe and the Caucasus and the Chinese Communists are cheating at the Olympics. (Imagine that.) Islamofascism is back on its heels, but still a threat and advancing their cause in the West with characteristic patience. Iran continues to threaten Israel and the West with possible nuclear weapons. Mexico continues its invasion across our southern border and I see no evidence that that threat is being taken seriously in our government. Despite the fact that oil supply/demand margins are still too slim for comfort, our Democrat controlled congress is refusing to entertain the thought of exploring and drilling for our own vast reserves, or using the massive amounts of coal at our disposal, or building nuclear reactors, or anything that might work to help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

We continue to support regimes that hate us and wish every day for our demise. Many of us refuse to believe that this is a dangerous world, ruled by the agressive use of force. If we stand by and let evil regimes exercise force without answer, then evil will stand and good will fail.

The world is on the edge. What did it feel like in Americal in 1939 - 1941 before Pearl Harbor? Was it a feeling similar to this? Everything's fine, just ignore what's going on in Europe and Asia . . . just before we were plunged into an Apocalyptic World War?

How many millions of lives were lost or ruined by WWII? How many if we had not fought and defeated the NAZI's, Fascists, and Imperial Japanese? Just remember, they were doing a fine job of eliminating state enemies and undesirables, and stealing their individual wealth prior to the U.S. entering the war.

If we do not strengthen our nation and our resolve; if we do not stop this silly notion of moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam, between Democracy and Communism/Socialism, between the U.S. ridding the world of the evil dictator Saddam Hussein and Russian imperialist aggression in Georgia; if we fail to recognize evil when we see it and face it down when it raises its ugly head in the world, then I believe that War is inevitable. Because evil is encouraged by weakness. Weakness gives way to aggression. If we are weak and unresolved, if we fail to stand up for goodness and right, we will be on the losing end.

Kill Him!

Barring interference from the Supreme Court, Jose Medellin is due to die today for the heinous crimes of murder and rape he committed in the State of Texas. He has been breathing the air at taxpayers expense for 15 years now. It's time to end it. Take his life as he took the lives of Elizabeth Pena and Jennifer Ertman. Without mercy. Kill him.

Madame Pelosi, Tear Down This Wall!

It seems that the Democrats cannot stand an open debate on any subject that they know is a loser for them. Like the Communists of old, Ms. Pelosi just shuts down any debate to the contrary. In the House of Representatives on Friday, after a hastily called 5-week recess, some of the House Republicans stayed in the chamber to continue debate on expanding our country's energy exploration. This in spite of the fact that the Speaker had ordered the lights and cameras turned off. Go House Republicans! With $4 a gallon gasoline and projected record winter season heating costs for many Americans, the Democrat's stifling the debate is a big loser issue for them. THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who sees a communist party parallel. Republican Policy Chairman, Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) was quoted as saying, "This is the People’s House. This is not Pelosi’s Politburo." What do Communist dictators do to the opposition? They try to silence them, if they can. I am not saying that all Democrats are Communists or even Socialists. But I do want to point out that the current leadership of the House and Senate are trying very hard to silence their opposition through strong-arm tactics, and their stated desires of a redistributionist, socialist society, with them in control of more and more of our everyday lives, will leave us with less and less FREEDOM!
