New Republican Ad

This video was forwarded to me titled "New Republican Ad". Whether it's official or not, I have no idea, but I thought I'd post it here anyway because of the message. Enjoy.

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

OK, this post is a huge departure from my normal rantings. It has nothing to do with Christianity, Conservatism, or my Republican views.

The picture in this post is purely for enjoyment!

Nothing like a Weber charcoal grill loaded down with the good stuff!

Forget the Mosque

Understandably there is great controversy over the building of a mosque at "ground zero" in New York City.

But what surprises me is that there's no more heard, or being discussed over the sale of 84 F15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, for $30 billion.

Granted they're being sold with no long-range weaponry installed. But isn't that like selling someone a gun and never thinking they'll find bullets for it?

I realize that that Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States, but are we not even considering what the official national religion of Saudi Arabia is? That's right, Islam.

We (the U.S.) has been at war for nearly 10 years now, not with other governments, or countries, but with Islamic terrorists/extremists. Islam is not at peace with the United States, despite some liberal views, but would love to dominate the world, especially the west.

I can't imagine how/why anyone thought this was a good idea, and why isn't the entire nation in an uproar over this? If you give a bad dog enough rope, he'll eventually be close enough to bite. It's a shame to think that the next attack against the U.S. could conceivably be made with our own weapons.

$30 billion is a lot of money. But when you really think about it, given the unbelievably huge national debt, will that even be felt? Where will that money go? Do we need the money so badly that we're willing to jeopardize our own security?

Maybe the mosque at ground zero, as offensive as it is, is really just a ruse to take our attention off of the real threat.

Politically Correct Warfare

On Thursday, April 29, 2010, the Associated Press news service ran a story with the following headline:

"Legal Questions Raised Over Drone Strikes"

The gist of the article was that the CIA's use of drone strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan and Yemen may be a case of "illegal assassination" as opposed to being considered legitimate self-defense.

The program has apparently come under fire by several "legal scholars" who argue that the attacks may violate international law and put intelligence officers at risk of prosecution for murder in foreign countries.

The obvious question here is (in response to the article): So?!?

Isn't this country currently at war against terrorists, wherever they may be found? I'm fairly certain that was the idea following the attacks on US soil on September 11.

If you follow the logic of these "scholars" it's okay for us to be at war with terrorists, just don't kill any of them. We're so worried about being politically correct in this country that is has even spilled over into the way warfare is conducted.

Come on! If we're not going to actually be allowed to kill those that we're engaged in war with, by whatever means we have available, then we may as well pack up all of our toys and go home.

Are we still living in the USA?

The passage of the "Healthcare Reform" bill on Sunday is the biggest travesty and abuse of power that this country has ever seen. It is wrong on so many levels, and involves so many people, that EVERY CITIZEN of America should be up in arms.

First and foremost, the government now has (?) the authority to force the people of this nation to buy something (health insurance) from the government. What?!?! Ladies and gents, this is in direct violation of the Constitution of our country, the same Constitution that Obama is an expert on, and taught on. The government of this country does not have that authority and is clearly abusing what power they think they have.
___________

Next is Mr. Obama's campaign promise that any bill that comes to his desk will sit there for five days and will be available on line for all citizens to view and read, before he will sign it into law or veto it. The president waited exactly 36 hours to sign this one. So much for integrity.
___________

Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure that this country, its people, resoundingly voiced a big fat NO to this bill for many reasons (chief of which is taxpayer funded abortions). Yet the very representatives who are supposed to be speaking for their constituents VOTED FOR THE BILL! Again, this is an abuse of the power given to these men and women. If they don't legislate according to what their voters want, then why do we allow them to continue to sit in these offices?

If you live in WV like I do then you need to know that Rahall and Molohan both voted FOR this bill, despite the overwhelming number of residents of WV who were against it.

I am proud to say that Capito voted against the bill, along with every other Republican in the House.

The time has come, no, is overdue, to vote these people out of office. If they don't speak for us, why should they be speaking at all.

Sorry for the rant.

Free Speech...unless it upsets liberals

I heard an interesting item about an upcoming Superbowl ad that is already causing a controversy. That isn't unusual in itself, a lot of them are controversial. But this one is a little different from what we usually come to expect.

This ad, or commercial, is anti-abortion and features a popular college football player (Tim Tebow) thanking his mother for not aborting him, despite the advice of doctors to do so.

So who's offended? Why, the liberals of course!

Their reasoning (?) is that this type of message should not be played during the Superbowl because it divides Americans. According to them the Superbowl is a time when all Americans come together and airing this commercial causes us to divide.

Wait a minute...isn't the Superbowl itself a game between two teams? Is everyone pulling for the same team? Aren't we already divided when we sit down to watch the game? Maybe we need to narrow the season down to one team so we don't disagree on the outcome.

This has nothing to do with anything or anyone being divided. The pro-abortionists don't mind being divided.

What they mind is that this ad will have millions of viewers. Because of our right to free speech, those of us in favor of life will finally have some voice across not only this country, but abroad as well.

Isn't it amazing that the very one's who spout off whatever anti-life, anti-morality, and anti-God message they want, through the very media they're now trying to squelch, don't want free speech.

I'm sure they're still for free speech, as long as it's their speech that's being heard.

I wonder if they've ever asked all those murdered children what they think about it? I guess their free speech rights don't apply either.
