AMERICA - THREATS AND IMAGINENED THREATS

This entry may not be popular in my Conservative circles, but the truth is, this is how I feel about some of these "threats".

Iran and Iraq

OK, I believe that Iran and Iraq is a threat to us and to Israel. As a Christian I believe that we need to stand up for Israel. This threat is a threat and would be a threat regardless of what we do or don't do.

You know? Hindsight is 20/20. I mean the liberals are correct when they say that we armed them and it is our fault that they now have the bombs that they do. I also agree that we should NEVER have given them their weapons.

Knowing how they hate Israel we were wrong to arm any of them in order to have a go at eachother. It is none of our business if they wish to war against themselves. We should have stayed out of it.

The truth of the matter is unless they are a threat to us or Israel, it behooves us to just stay out of it. It doesn't make any logical sense to give any weapons to enemies of Israel or to any religous zealots who are going to use their faith to attack and murder innocents because of faith. This simply puts us in the firing zone.

But as I said hindsight is 20/20 and there is nothing we can do about it now. Because we made this bed and they hate us for it, we have a worse problem than we have to begin with.

That being said, it is too late to go back and changed things and the question is what do we do now??

Do we stay the course? Or cut and run?

Neither!!! We change the course and do what is needed to get this over with. We need to bring in more troops and end this war!! It is obvious that what we are doing now is not working and I agree that we can not just cut and run because that would put us in a dangerous position. We also have to get the Iraqi's involved more!! Let them help protect themselves. I mean if we didn't have our weapons in the Revolution, we never would have been able to win.

Besides....What is it with the US and our inability to protect boarders?? We aren't protecting our boarder at home and we are not protecting the Iraqi boarders!!!

Come on people!!! Get on the ball!!





N. Korea

Who cares????? I don't!! I know that this sounds bad, but the truth is it is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!! I mean, up until they use the weapons against anyone, it is none of our business and not our problem.

When did it become our responsiblity to police and protect other countries who are capable of protecting themselves? But then again, I never agreed with rebuilding Japan after WWII. Money that should have been used for our own people went to rebuilding a country who ATTACKED us. What kind pf presedent that that set?? Come and attack us and after we defeat you we will take money away from starving Americans to rebuild you?? This to me is asanine in my opinion.

If Japan, South Korea, or China do not wish to take care of their own backyard, then they will be the ones to pay for their own decisions.

China is more worried about refugees coming into their country than they are in protecting themselves. Besides, after they murdered all of those students in Tiananmen Square, I have no sympathy for them.

Until they become a threat to us or Israel, we should stay out of it!!

So while the left and the right want to go around in circles argueing "whose fault it is", I ask why should we be involved in the first place??

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we went to war against England for our freedom, we had help that is true. But the French did not get involved until after the war had already started and it was almost over. We took the initiative(SP) and even though we were outnumbered and outclassed, our freedom meant enough to us to put our lives on the line.

If Iraq, Iran, Japan, S Korea, China, or any other country are not willing to do this for themselves, then why should we do it for them?? If they aren't willing to put their lives on the line, then why should we put our men and women lives on the line for them.

I have no problem helping other countries when we are asked, but I do NOT believe that we should do so if they aren't willing to take the initiative themselves!!

New-Conservatives.

This means that our values and traditions are new. Hogwash!! This coming from people who call themselves "progressives."

This is pure leftwing propaganda!! We still hold on to the same values, morals, traditions, and beliefs that we have always held. It is the left who have changed. It would be more accurate to say that they are Neo-Liberals and to call the Conservatives Traditionalist.

God was written into the Constitution, we as Conservatives still want God involved in our country, while neo-libs would rather force others to worship in their houses and churches only!!

The Constitutions actually says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are those who wish it to mean:

In my opinion, the single most important part of the Constitution. Some of the first colonists of the nation for which the Constitution was written had been seeking to escape religious persecution. The constitutions of several of the states prohibited public support of religion. And above all, the many varying sects of Christianity in America required that to be fair to all, there could be preference to none. It would have been disgraceful for anyone to wish to leave the United States because of religious persecution. So they decided it best to keep the government out of religion. Now, this is not to say that the United States was not or is not a religious one. Religion plays a big role in the everyday life of Americans, then and now. But what they were striving for is tolerance... something I fear contemporary Americans are lacking

I agree with this "opinion" as far as tolerance of other religions and the right for others to worship as they see fit as long as it harms NO ONE!!

Now as far as keeping religion OUT of government.....

This is patently false. Lets not forget that God is in the Constitution as well as our Declaration of Independance, the Pledge of Allegience, and throughout the writings of our Founding Fathers.

Instead, it says that the Government should stay OUT of religion. That as Christians we have the right to express our faith ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE we wish.

------------------------------------------
prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
------------------------------------------

Just as I believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Bible, I also believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Constitution. I says what it means and means what it says. To add to or to take away words in order for it to fit their interpetation of what it "should" mean or say, is an out and out violation of the Constitution.

This is what the neo-libs wish to do. While us conservatives have NOT changed our stance on this issue or any of the other issues.


Now if tolerance means that we should take the right to vote on issues such as Homosexual Marriage, Abortion, Taxes, or Illegal Immigration; then YES I am intolerant of those who wish to allow the Government to take our basic rights away.

We have not changed our stance on these issues, but rather the new-libs have!!

I can not nor will I compromise my faith in the name of tolerance nor will I EVER vote against what I believe is moral or right.

I am so tired of the left trying to push their morals and values on the Country.

Lets talk about intolerance a little more.

1. Telling us that we are should not be allowed to vote on the basis of religion or that those who are running for office should not be allowed to voice their faith is INTOLERANCE towards Christians.

2. Not allowing Christians to pray or meet before or after schoold is intolerance.

3. The teaching of the qur'an in public schools is OK, but don't you dare speak about the bible is intolerance.


Teaching the quran in American Schools

More hypocricy of the left. They fight for this while at the same time fight to keep the bible out of the schools. If it is "illegal" to teach Christianity in schools, then it should be the same for teaching islam in schools!!

4. Where we are called Nazi's and Racist because we protect ourselves and Israel from the religious intolerance of the muslim states. This is another example of religious Intolerance from the left.

Let me set the record straight. I am not intolerant of the muslim religion or any other religion or path for that matter. I am however intolerant of ANY religion that uses their 'holy book' out context in order to kill and persecute other's because of a different faith.

I am also intolerant of ANYONE who wishes to dictate to me when I can or can not vote on the basis of my faith.
