Bill Clinton Gets Denied A Kiss - Watch more free videos

Mental Explosion

As I downloaded Senator Obama's "Blueprint for Change", I remind myself to be open-minded and free from preconceptions. I had read parts of it before but saw the same evading attempts to answer questions to his position as I saw in the movie Dodge Ball. So with renewed patience and dedication to the pursuit of Senator Obama’s “open, candid, and clear” plan/stance I embarked on my journey.

As a Marine I find myself taking this “mission” to understand the enemy very seriously. I am not implying that Senator Obama is an enemy. I feel that his ideologies are the enemy to our great nation. The belief that America is not great NOW is the enemy. The idea that the USA is so bad that it needs to be changed, rather than maintained and improved is the enemy. The suggestion that HOPE is needed to get through the dreary American life is the enemy. The shameful association with ones country is the enemy.

After peeling back the blue cover page and table of contents I see a message from Sen. Obama to me. One sentence really hits a nerve with me. Sen. Obama states his reason for running for President,

"The dream that so many generations fought for feels as if it’s slowly slipping away… I run to offer this country change that we can believe in."

What dream is slipping away? Why is that dream slipping away? Is it because of President Bush? Is it because of Iraq? Is it because of Congress? Is it because of the American people? Is it because of the global economy? Is it because of our environment? Is it because of the media?

Sen. Obama feels, “This is the defining moment in our history.” Don’t get me wrong, the times to come are important but defining? I guess to Sen. Obama this election will be more defining and important in our history than the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Civil War, women’s suffrage, the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, the defeat of the Axis military alliance in World War II, the civil rights movement, etc.

I will continue to go through this blueprint and try to piece together the puzzle that as Sen. Obama’s asserts is, “…where I stand on the fundamental issues facing our country.”

I encourage any and all thoughts, concerns, complaints and suggestions.

Please stay tuned for future posts as I wade through these murky waters…

Good read

I came across an opinion piece posted on The Wall Street Journal written by Martin Feldstein and John B. Taylor.
"In stark contrast to Barack Obama, Mr. McCain believes that tax policy should be used to foster the creation of jobs and higher wages through economic growth, rather than to redistribute incomes."

Going back to Cali

As I received my preliminary orders to report to Camp Pendleton California by February 2008, I realized that my civil rights are about to be violated. You see, the People's Republic of California does not recognize the 2nd Amendment. I have a DPMS AR-15 rifle. It is chambered in 5.56x45 NATO or .223 Remington. According to the Riverside California Sheriff's office it is illegal for me to bring my rifle into the the state. I have a friend who works in the Los Angeles Sheriff's office and he sent me some paperwork. He said if I filled it out and told them that I was in the Marine Corps that I might be able to bring it with me. I really do not see what being a Marine has to do with my eligibility to legally own a firearm. This rifle is single shot and completely legal in the Evergreen State. This rifle is perfect for coyote hunting and fairly inexpensive to shoot compared to my wife's 300 Winchester Magnum. I do not see what the problem is with a legal citizen who obeys the laws and safety regulations owning an AR-15. If there is someone out there that has far more intelligence than your humble author, please tell me why this is. How can a state infringe upon constitutionally promised rights? What's next? Not being able to freely express my opinions regarding the state of California on my blog? How can a city like San Francisco allow an illegal alien to kill 3 people before they think about deportation? They care so much for an illegal aliens' rights and the rights of the terrorist in Gitmo. My rights, however, seem to be of the least importance to California's "leadership".

Question:

What will happen to everyone's rights if Senator Obama is elected? Do you think that this is the kind of civil liberty that the ACLU will help out with?

The ones who will suffer most, if Senator Obama wins in November, will be the infants that are murdered. We need to become more responsible. If you do not want a baby, do not have sex, or at the very least use protection. Stop looking for the easy way that leads to a feeling of entitlement. Make the hard choices and put in the hard work because America needs you. Stop needing America.

p.s. If you do not believe that the USA is the greatest country, then I respectfully ask you to leave this blog and never come back. America does not need change, it needs leaders, workers and patriots!

Senator Obama and Change

Being an idealist, I would never believe that a member of Congress was unpatriotic or he/she hated America (then I learned of Nancy Pelosi). I do not believe that Senator Obama is a bad man or even a bad legislator. The reason for my conclusion is based on the belief that you are innocent until proven guilty. Let me explain. I hardly know anything about him. I do not know the type of information that a American Citizen would need to vote for him. It is a big decision, casting your vote for the person to rule the greatest nation ever. I do believe, that Senator Obama is hurting his campaign (big time) by only speaking when his words are "teleprompted". When will Senator Obama keep his promise and go on the Factor? Maybe he is not the "Great Orator" that everyone claims he is. Maybe this little point is enough for me to assume that he is too naive and too inexperienced to win the Long War. I know that everyone has their faults and that at some point in life they have made mistakes but all I hear about Senator Obama lately is negative. Being curious I look into the negatives to see if they are true and I see stuff like this.

Question:

Is this the type of person who you want to lead this country? If he is your "Savior" please tell me how you came to this conclusion and what "Change" is he going to bring to America.

I do have a suggestion for Senator Obama: Change yourself. Do the hard interviews, tell America who you really are. Who knows, America might like you. I do not vote Republican just because I am a Republican. I vote for the person, their leadership principles and traits, their strength, their wisdom, their walk with God and their views.
