The Man Of Change

Since his campaign has begun, he has been on a pedestal by many in this country. He gave terrific speeches, has a smile that could melt a young girls heart and has the look of confidence that we want to see in our president.

So what is wrong? Why are so many people confused as to who he really is? We know his voting record has been one of the most liberal in recent years. We have heard that the troops will be home in 16 months, which played well with the antiwar crowd. He is obviously a man of faith which did not seem to rattle his liberal base, and stood up to racist remarks and hateful remarks that flowed from the church that he was attended, showing that he will not tolerate bigotry in any form.

But yet now we have seen another side of Barack, a side that has moved from his popular stand of progressive ideals and believes to a move to the center and even the right. In the past couple of weeks he has shown a side that has surprised many on the left and has brought into question where he stands from the right.

He has criticized the Supreme Court for striking down a state law that called for execution of child rapists, a stand that goes against the very fabric of the progressive left. He stated his support for the high court’s reversal of the District of Columbia ban on hand guns, something just a couple of years ago he strongly supported. He has promised more federal dollars to what Bush calls “faith-based” programs run by churches and other religious groups, another issue that the left feels should not have any type of government support, the mantra of the left. He recently stated he  will re-examine his policy on the Iraq war, which has been a core issue in his campaign, and the driving force to his success the antiwar people.He recently hit another nerve for the left, abortion, this is a issue that progressives feel is a no holds bar, they can be done for any reason at anytime. Obama has said “mental distress” should not count as a health exception that would permit a late-term abortion.

So here we are only a few months away from the election and America is still waiting for Obama to define himself, will he be the poster boy for progressives, pushing the country more and more to the left and away from the values that have made us strong, or will he continue to try and court the right by evoking his faith into his politics?

My Fourth of July

Recently I was told, your attitude toward America and its future have changed 180 degrees since I started posting on here. You used to be the flag waver and fife blower and “America, right or wrong” guy. What changed your outlook? Reality?

I still am a flag waver, I still say America First and rest of the world does not matter, I still love John Wayne movies and love when he kicks the enemy’s ass at Normandy or Midway Island.

What I am talking about when I talk failure, is a political process that has basically come to a halt. The two parties who control this country do not care about you and I. They do not care what is happening to homeowners, or people who need to decide what bill gets paid so they can put gas in their car so the can go to work to hopefully cover some of their increasing expenses at the grocery store, the gas pump and the everywhere else. They really don’t care to find an alternative fuel because it is not in the best interest of the two parties.

I see America as the country of greatness. I see the people as the ones who actually make the country work, not the politicians, we are still the true backbone of this country. I see a country that given a chance could once again dominate, but as long as we have two parties controlling what will or will not happen this country will never have the shine in the world it once had. This can only be done by the people, they have got to say we want more than what is being forced upon us. I am tired of professional lifetime politicians, I am tired of millionaires in congress telling us about suffering, when they have never experienced what the middle class in this country is going through. I am tired of politicians giving us lip service, but then do nothing when the elections are over. I want CHANGE, but that change will not come from Obama or the democrats. It will not happen with McCain or the republicans, it is only going to change when we the people say enough is enough.

I want term limits, I don’t want any more Kennedy’s there for 40+ years, I don’t want anymore Doles representing me for 40 + years. I want people there who are not beholding to lobbyist and special interest. I want people who do what was suppose to happen represent the people and then go back to your job, your farm, your home. I want to restrict how much money can be wasted on elections. Look what has been spent in the last year and a half, just that money alone could have covered the under insured in this country.

I want America returned to the people, I am tired of not being heard.

I still fly my flag every day. I still stand with my hand over me heart at the national anthem, I still believe in the red, white and blue, I have lost faith in our political system.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

What Is His Expereince?

Once again Barack showed why he is NOT about change but just more of the same we have had for years.

On Sunday one of his “supporters” (i.e. he is also on the short list of vp’s)Wesley Clark decided to rip into John McCains military record questioning the man and his record.

On Monday Obama holds a “rally” in Independence MO. to talk about Patriotism.

Anyone here think these two events were NOT connected?

Anyway today Wesley Clark continued to insert foot, I saw him on GMA this morning trying to spin the MaCain attack.

Today he said, “My point is there’s a difference in comparing yourself for the highest office of the land depending on which levels you’ve served at in the armed forces. But the service as president is about judgment, and the experience he had as a fighter pilot isn’t the same as having been in the highest levels of the military and having to work with the president and other heads of the state and make those kinds of life or death decisions about national strategic issues.

Ok, so if that is what it takes to be president, where is Obamas experience? If serving in the military is not enough to be president, then not serving should completely disqualify you, is that what Wesley Clark is saying?

More Than The Second Amendment

The recent ruling by the Supreme Court was more than just a statement on gun owner rights, but also a statement that a few progressives are not going to be allowed to destroy America.

Of all of the blunders of GW administration the past eight years, including refusing to protect the borders of this country, the misjudgment of the war in Iraq, his appointment of Supreme Court justices who put the interest of America first, instead of ideology, is something that all of America can be proud of. The Second Amendment has been under attack for a long time by people who use the Constitution as if it was written for just a select few, instead of all citizens.

With Mr McCain soon to become our next president, and a couple of the far left judges soon to retire, hopefully real soon, the court will become a strong conservative court that will defend America and her people from the tyrants of the extreme left, whose goal is to bring America to her kness in a godless secular society.

America Needs To Wake Up

People really need to get pass the obsession with Obama and see what he really is, a typical politician, a liar.

In his current ad on tv he says that he “extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected” and cited Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

As it has been noted on a number of blogs, Obama didn’t show up to vote. Actually 9 senators voted the bill down or did not show up to vote. The bill passed the senate 91 to 3.

People better wake up soon as to what this man really is or the country is sunk.

UPDATE: I have had a couple of “progressive” bloggers go after me accusing me of plagiarism. This is what conservatives can expect over the next few months, progressives will attack the messenger when the message points out the the type of candidate Obama actually is and how dangerous he will be for America.
