President Bush--A little Respect

As President Bush prepares to leave office many in America & around the world are contemplating his legacy and not all in a spirit of fairness. I hope this piece is written in a fair minded manner.

Under the guidance of President Bush America has faced only one terrorist attack and none of us will forget September 11th 2001. It is the defining moment of recent history and the world will now remain before and after 9/11.

Imagine getting up in the morning and reading reports where this or that terrorist group is planning to strike your country. Can any of us imagine the enmormity and responsibility of protecting millions of their fellow country men from harm? President Bush has faced this task every day for eight years.

There are those who criticize the war in Iraq but this faces us with a conundrum(I face this too). We often hear of atrocities and in hindsight we wonder how did Pol Pot manage to murder millions of his own people? How did the Hutu's in Rwanda slaughter millions of their own country men? How did Idi Amin brutalize his own people? How did Saddam Hussein gas and murder the Kurds even little babies?

Because we chose to look the other way. It wasn't happening to us.

You see we speak about peace in the safe confines of our own living rooms as we see these atrocities take place. We say things like, 'this shouldn't happen,' and those 'poor people. Lord look after them.' And then we turn the TV over to watch American Idol or Greys Anatomy.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

We read the above quote by Edmund Burke and most agree with it but do we understand his meaning? We are the ones doing nothing.

We wept over Cambodia but we did nothing. We prayed for the people in Rwanda while we ran away. We cried as we saw the horror of the Kurdish people and then turned away.

In the end it wasn't happening to us and we didn't care enough to really care about them.

You see, Freedom costs but most of us dont want to know the price.

Every intelligence agency told President Bush that Iraq had weapons of Mass Destruction. What was the President supposed to do, cross his fingers and toes and hope they got it wrong?

Whether you agree with the Presidents decision or not, he acted. He stopped a brutal mass murderer and tyrant and I for one am not going to weep over the loss of Saddam Hussein and his murderous sons.

This time the American President for good or worse did not look the other way. He stopped a mass murderer and he freed a country with the help of his Allies.

Many call the President himself a mass murderer, those who do this then please show us his mass graves? Show the world his hidden rape rooms. Oh that's right, wrong country that was happening in Iraq. President Bush and his Allies helped stop it.

Has President Bush made mistakes ofcourse. The economy for one, he took his eyes off the ball and many Americans and people the world over will be paying a price for his lack of oversight. The buck really does stop at the Presidents desk.

But there are also successes. President Bush banned Post Partial Abortion. Praise God there was a President ready to take on the feminist nazification philosophy of sheer evil, the murder of half born babies.

Who knows how many children that President Bush has saved by banning this evil act, but rest assured God knows.

The President also appointed two Pro-Life Supreme Court Judges once again facing down the Feminazi brigade and those liberal, heretical 'catholic' politicians who don't have the backbone to stand on their beliefs!

As for the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at President Bush, he is still alive. Under Saddam Hussein he would now be dead and that is the difference.

Now you may not agree with all of President Bush's policies, but at least give the President some credit where credit is due.

In Africa the President has a popularity level of over 80%. Why? Because once again he is not just standing by. His policies has saved lives, African lives.

In America his popularity is at an all time low at below 30%. Why? Because many 'talk' peace with no teeth. We want to weep for the suffering people without it costing us anything.

So the next time you feel like insulting the President ask yourself this. What have you done today to make the world a safer place and how have you helped the poor?

Standing Up For Sarah Palin

The new sport in Washington these days is not watching the President Elect, no. The new sport is how to destroy Sarah Palin while keeping the Republican Party on life support.

This unedifying display is the worst case of political cannibalism I have seen in decades. Hannibal Lector himself would fair better than Governor Sarah Palin at the moment.

Why are members of John McCains campaign 'team' now bent on destroying this remarkable woman? Why are many Republicans silent including John McCain himself?

Because they fear her.

Sarah Palin is a polarizing force who promises to bring change to Washington. The problem is noone wants this change including the GOP. They also have vested interests and they know that Governor Palin is made of stern stuff who will not follow in their wake but lead them to a new landscape.

A landscape where they will no longer be serving themselves but serving their country. Where vested interests will be bypassed for the best interests of the majority of American citizens.

Sarah Palin promises change but both Republican Party & the Democrats want to stay the same.

This woman galvanized a people who were longing for change and for straight talk. With Sarah Palin one didn't need to read past the 'spin' this is a woman of remarkable character who says it how it is and the majority of Americans loved it.

Sarah Palin is as polarizing as Barack Obama but unlike the President Elect, Governor Palin has substance and credibility. Sarah also has charisma and an ability to reach out and connect with ordinary Americans.

This is why many fat cat politicians fear her, including her own Party.

President Elect Obama is all talk when it comes to 'change' but with Governor Palin she meant real change and not the small change which President Obama will bring.

In the words of Machiavelli:

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."

Sarah Palin is a power to be reckoned with, and her enemies know this, hence their need to destroy her, she represents to them everything they lack and is a reminder of their own inner corruption.

But a warning for those who voted for Barack Obama...

"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions." Niccolo Machiavelli

If Sarah Palin is ever elected President then Washington will never be the same again, and that will be a good thing.

What do YOU think about the attacks on Sarah Palin?

A PRAYER FOR AMERICAN ELECTION

O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord,

Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.

We thank You for the privilege

Of being able to organize ourselves politically

And of knowing that political loyalty

Does not have to mean disloyalty to You.

We thank You for Your law,

Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged

And recognized as higher than any human law.

We thank You for the opportunity that this election year puts before us,

To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,

But to influence countless others to vote,

And to vote correctly.

Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened.

Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation,

Their response to You requires that they be politically active.

Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world

But rather a community of faith renewing the world.

Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer

Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;

That the same eyes that read Your Word

Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,

And that they do not cease to be Christians

When they enter the voting booth.

Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice,

To the sanctity of marriage and the family,

To the dignity of each individual human life,

And to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives Begin,

And not one moment later.

Lord, we rejoice today

That we are citizens of Your kingdom.

May that make us all the more committed

To being faithful citizens on earth.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Fr. Frank Pavone

SELFish Voting Or SelfLESS voting

As Americans prepare to enter the ballot box they need to ask the question am I voting for selfish reasons or selfless reasons? In other words is it a case of ME first in a ME first generation.

We live in a time where the question is not "ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Instead the mantra of today is 'what's in it for me.'

Before you vote ask yourself which candidate will be the one who will do their best to protect the most vulnerable citizens in America, the unborn?

Is it Senator John McCain who is Pro-Life or Senator Obama who is Pro-Death?

Then ask the next question who is the most qualified to protect American security within your own borders and overseas?

Is it Senator McCain who believes in Military strength to defeat your enemies or is it Senator Obama who wishes to cut military spending at a time of war?

The next question to ask is this, what happens if a vacancy were to occur and a new Supreme Court Judge needed to be nominated. Who would be most likely to appoint a Pro-Life Surpreme Court Judge?

Would it be Senator McCain who is Pro-Life or Senator Obama who is Pro-Abortion?

When it comes to the economy ask yourself who has fought against big spending Government and who promises to stop the fiscal policies that have devastated the Amerian economy?

Will it be Senator John McCain who has spent his entire career trying to stop pork barrel spending or Senator Obama who spent nearly one BILLION dollars in his 3 short Senatorial years?

As for character ask yourself which man has been tested during his life time and during that test embraced and believes that America is a Great Nation?

Is it Senator McCain who gave his blood, sweat and tears in defense of America and it's freedoms or Senator Obama, who thinks America isn't great yet?

Voting is important and so are the reasons for your vote. The worst thing a voter can do is to think in terms of 'who is going to look after my own self interests, who is going to give me MORE.'

Before you cast your vote ask yourself 'am I voting in the interest of my country or in SELF interest?'

Who Is Barack Obama?

Who is Barack Obama?

Nobody knows.

That's right you haven't read it wrong. Absolutely noone knows who Barack Obama is.

For those who are considering voting for Barack Obama, ask yourself this. Who is he? What is his background? What is his history? Who are his friends?

Now Joe the Plumber asked a simple but relevent question which for the first time in his campaign Senator Obama answered him with honesty, he believes in the redistribution of wealth.

We now know that Senator Obama actually told the truth and forgot to lie. The Senator then spent the next week or so disparaging this working class man. Why?

Does he consider himself to elitist to have to answer to a voter what his policies are? Or doesn't he know himself?

We do know that Senator Obama voted 'present' 129 times. Is he that unsure of himself? Is he that undecided about issues that he literally can't make a decision?

Will he be a 'present' or absent President?

Apart from voting 'present' what did Obama vote for or against?

He stood out against his fellow Democratic Senators such as Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Barbar Boxer(to name a few) and voted against the 'Born Alive Infants' law, where babies who survive abortions would be treated as persons in their own right. Senator Obama used the lame excuse that he didn't like the 'wording' so he voted against it. He just didnt vote against it once, no, he voted against it twice.

How many born alive babies will die if he becomes President?

Senator Obama claims to be a believing Christian and yet he shows a constant tendency to deride Scripture as 'blase' and that those who wish to follow God's Commandments are people who "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion … as a way to explain their frustrations."

Is that really how Senator Obama views people who have a devout faith?

What about his beliefs?

"The dangers of secterianism are greater than ever. Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation, at least not just. We are also a Jewish Nation, a Muslim Nation, a Buddhist Nation and a Hindu Nation and a Nation of non believers." Barack Obama.

What about the Moonies? And the Hare Krishna's? They will feel so left out of your, all faith is faith, right? Wrong!

"Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy should we go to Leviticus which suggests slavery's OK or that eating shell fish is an abomination...."Barack Obama

What about 'You shall not kill!' Or is that too literal for the Senator?

Then there is this, "You shall not covet your neighbor's goods!"

What is the Senator's idea's about that one, redistribute your goods, perhaps?

You see in Senator Obama's world he doesn't think he has to answer to God. No! He thinks God should answer to him!

Who is Senator Obama?

Does anyone know?

Do YOU know?

OBAMA's Objective-Who is Next?

Thanks Ebeth for inspiring the words on this pic. Is anyone safe IF Obama becomes President? If he believes in killing the youngest unborn citizens, what's to stop him from killing the elders in our communities?

Senator Obama What Are You Hiding?

I find it rather puzzling that all the political candidates have released their medical records including that of Govenor Sarah Palin, but not Senator Barack Obama.

This begs the question, why?

In his autobiography Senator Obama admits to using cocaine but just what year did he desist using this illegal substance?

If Senator Obama were to release his medical records would it hold information pertaining to his use of cocaine and just how long he was addicted to this illegal narcotic?

One is let to ponder why did the Senator not release his medical records?

A 'doctors statement' is not a medical record. And why is the media silent on the fact that unlike the other candidates Senator Obama declined to share his medical history?

Is it not important to know the medical history of a person who may oneday hold the highest office in the land?

I will then ask the question, Senator Obama just what are you hiding by not releasing your medical records?

If this man is so open and honest then let him open his medical records to discerning voters.

Stop hiding Senator and release your records to the public.

Russia The Next Super Power?

I was glad to see Russia finally being mentioned by both Presidential candidates. I wrote this piece a few days ago, I don't think that the American public realise the threat that Russia poses to their own security. Let me know what YOU think?

*******************
The world cannot afford to look the other way as it concentrates on terrorists from mainly Muslim countries. There is another great threat which will also impact on American interests just as much as the Islamofacists.

Russia is proving to be a grave threat to America and the West.

There is a reason why Russia took such an interest in a little known part of the world called South Ossetia and why it hit back ferociously when The Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili made the miscalculation of attacking it.

While America tries to play catch up with it's Nabucco gas pipeline, Russia is two or more steps ahead.

Russia already owns a gas pipeline which supplies a quarter of European gas supplies. What happens if a European country disagrees with Russian policies? Or will it be a case of not daring to anger the Russian bear in case their gas supplies are effected?

Many European countries will be held to ransom if they have the temerity to oppose Russia aka Prime Minister Putin.

How does this affect America?

No European country will support America & its policies if it means alienating Russia.

America may find itself totally isolated.

Prime Minister Putin is a relatively young politician who has years ahead of him and he has shown by stealth how he deals with his 'perceived' enemies. Anyone who dares to confront that savile row dictator Vladimir Putin will pay for it with their lives. One has only to look at the lives of Anna Politkovskaya, Paul Klebnikov, Alexander Litvinenko or Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko who was poisoned with Dioxin, and only just survived.

Russia has always longed to be the Great Super Power and with its gas pipeline they may realise their dream. As America wakes up to a new nightmare, becoming second place to Russia.

Is Russia a friend or a foe? What do YOU think?

Hitler Got Better Press than Sarah Palin

I found this fascinating that Adolf Hitler a mass murderer and a man of incredible evil actually received better press than Governor Sarah Palin. Read the quotes for yourself. You will be surprised at how many considered Hitler a 'great man.'

Pro Hitler Quotes

"After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's lair on Obersalzberg), you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambitions for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."

John F. Kennedy

"It is not the Germany of the first decade that followed the war- broken, dejected and bowed down with a sense of apprehension and impotence. It is now full of hope and confidence, and of a renewed sense of determination to lead its own life without interference from any influence outside its own frontiers. One man has accomplished this miracle. He is a born leader of men. A magnetic and dynamic personality with a single-minded purpose, a resolute will and a dauntless heart."

David Lloyd George, Prime Minister

"Democracy is finished in England. It may be here,(England)"

Ambassador Kennedy

"He has a supreme intellect. I have known only two other men to whom I could apply such distinction - Lord Northcliffe and Lloyd George. If one puts a question to Hitler, he gives an immediate, brilliant clear answer. There is no human being living whose promise on important matters I would trust more readily. He believes that Germany has a Divine calling and that the German people are destined to save Europe from the revolutionary attacks of Communism. He values family life very highly, whereas Communism is its worst enemy. He has thoroughly cleansed the moral, ethical life of Germany"

Viscount Rothermere

"I think that it must be admitted that National Socialism has done a great deal for Germany. It has undoubtedly cleaned up Germany in the ordinary moral sense of the word. The defeatism, the corruption so manifest a characteristic in the days after the war has disappeared, at any rate from public view. It has given discipline and order and a sense of purpose to the great majority of young people who in earlier days did not know where to go or what they were living for."

His Lordship, the Marquess of Lothian

**************************

Anti Sarah Palin Quotes

"Her down-home, divisive and deceptive speech did nothing to cosmeticize a Republican convention that has more than twice as many male delegates as female, a presidential candidate who is owned and operated by the right wing and a platform that opposes pretty much everything Clinton's candidacy stood for -- and that Barack Obama's still does."

Gloria Steinem

"Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe? "

Lindsay Lohan

(John McCain has chosen a running mate) "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion."

Carol Fowler

"They shouldn't have the right to call themselves Christian, for they have no Christ-like attributes. I am a feminist and a Christian - and when I see Sarah Palin - I see neither. And it is official. She is evil."

Margaret Cho

"But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?"

Dr Laura Schlessinger

"The broader question if Sarah Palin becomes vice president, will she be shortchanging her kids or will she be shortchanging the country?"

Amy Robach

******************

I think this truly shows just how loony the Left have become when a despotic evil dictator as Hitler can accrue more compliments than a hard working Governor of Alaska and future Vice President of the United States.

Team Sarah

Esther sent me a link to day to join Team Sarah. Thankyou Esther I did indeed join 'Catholics for Sarah.' I cannot believe the level of attacks this poor woman is enduring and am glad that John McCain chose her so late in the game as I am not sure the poor Governor can take much more. But Sarah is tough, she is no wimp, but enough is enough!

Please think about joining Team Sarah for it is Pro-Life and may God bless their work.

Peace

Obama-McCain-On Defense

It would be nice if we lived in a fuzzy wuzzy-cuddly wuddly world where we can get rid of nuclear weapons, then sit around a camp fire as world leaders sing Kumbaya my Lord while linking hands and making daisy chains.

It may be a nice vision but it isn't reality.

Yet this is exactly Senator Obama's 'reality' as he said, "Third I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal I will not develop new nuclear weapons. I will seek a global ban on the production of fissal material and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM's off hair trigger alert and achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."

Well Russia is not sitting on their hands either as they build their pipeline which supplies a quarter of the worlds gas reserves. Now why the EU wants to become so dependent on Russia's benelovence is beyond me when it comes to their gas supplies? This move makes the Savile Row dictator Putin ever more powerful.

Has Russian history been kind to the world?

When challenged by Bill O'Reilly in his TV interview Obama deviated away from committing himself to keeping missiles in Poland by saying that he would keep it but only if it is workable. Guess who will find it unworkable if he ever makes it to the Presidency? As he said above he wants to disarm the American military machine.

How much idiotology from Obama can America take?

The difference between Senators McCain and Obama is this; one went to war while the other is good at dialogue.

This is an extract from McCain's site, "America confronts a range of serious security challenges: Protecting our homeland in an age of global terrorism and Islamist extremism; working with friends and partners overseas, from Africa to Southeast Asia, to help them combat terrorism and violent insurgencies in their own countries; defending against missile and nuclear attack; maintaining the credibility of our defense commitments to our allies; and waging difficult counterinsurgency campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Does the West need to be tough with those who would threaten our freedoms such as the stance McCain is taking? Or should Americans go on a cross your fingers and hope for the best diplomacy offered by Obama?

Let's face it Senator Obama attended his Church for over 20 years and didn't know what Reverend Wright was saying, did he spend the entire time sleeping? He also did not know about Bill Ayers who is sorry that he did not inflict more harm on his own country. If Barack Obama is so clueless within his own community & circle of 'friends' how on earth can he deal with Prime Minister Putin, President Ahmadinejad, President Assad, Chairman Kim Jong-il ? Let alone terrorists organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Senator McCain has been tested in war, he knows how much destruction it causes but he also has learnt from history on how not to be defeatist when confronting enemies.

The world is facing a terrible crisis as it confronts Islamofascists. In order to defeat evil one has to confront it and you cannot do that with a wet noodle.

If Obama has his way, and disarms America then you better get those noodles ready.

Who do you trust with not only the security of America but Western Freedoms which we take for granted?

Sarah Rocks Obama’s World

It seems just the mere mention Sarah Palin’s name rocks the Obama camp. Endorsements are like ice cream flavors they either leave a sweet taste or an awful after taste. You know that this woman has substance when most of Hollywood’s big wigs are flapping their mouths, criticizing and questioning who she is and her competence. From Matt Damon to Pamela Anderson to the one and only Sean aka Diddy aka Puff Daddy Combs all have “something” to say. I don’t understand why “black” entertainers, “black” influential people have turned this elections into a race based on the colour of ones skin. “Vote for Obama because he is black.” For all they say that they are the ones being discriminated in the country, they sure do know how to play the race game to their “advantage”. It shouldn't matter the colour of your skin or if you are male or female, your decision should be based upon the issues facing America.

Of all that I have seen Diddy’s was the most disturbing. With what he sings and gives to our children certainly isn't the role model most would want. First off he does not know if Alaska is one of the Sates in the USA, he does not know if there are any black people in Alaska , then he proceeds to say that because there are no black people in Alaska there is no crime, violence and drugs. Diddy has slapped every black person in the face yet there is no uproar from the Obama camp. Guess that once you put that money and a lot of it in the Obama envelope you can say and do whatever you please. Sean Combs - doing a hell of a job for the Obama Campaign. And an even better job for McCain/Palin! He must think Alaskans live in igloos and mush dogs to work. The population is very culturally diverse and yes it includes black people. More proof of Abe Lincoln’s observation:

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

I just don’t understand why he is so worried about who McCain picked as VP anyway? Isn’t the Obamamessiah supposed to sweep the country in a landslide, uniting it in Hope and Change? With his recent hissy fit about flying commercial because it was too expensive to fuel his jet, it makes you wonder why the media gives him the time of day. His new election slogan is “Obama or die”. I am very concerned that there will be racial polarity in the aftermath of this election if “The Chosen One” loses. Stop stimulating the victim mentality. Enough with the race card!

I want to take a look at some of the platforms that the Obama camp has on their ticket after all these are the issues. Firstly, we are for the “small people” Are they really? When a “small town” woman steps up to the plate, they try to cut her down because she is too “small” for them. One question: what is wrong with Alaska ? Is Alaska not 1 of 50 States that form America? A woman who has served in an executive position is not qualified? Obama, who has run primarily on his popularity and has no experience, is more qualified because of the color of his skin? Amazing to say the least! She has every right to be anything she wants to be, this is real change for every woman, white, and black and in between. This woman brings change, there is proof of all she has been able to achieve and yet she is not qualified?!?! Experience did not matter before but now with Sarah Palin experience matters.

Then there are his Economic policies. I struggle with the study of Obanomics. It’s tough to grasp this blend of economics, comics and tonics. They are for teaching sex education in schools and distributing and aiding in contraception, after all we want the kids to be “safe” so we pump millions on this. Encourage the kids to have sex then they need millions in funding to have programs to deal with teen pregnancy, STD’s and everything that goes along with having sex, after all having sex is “no big thing.” Everyone knows that Abstinence is the only way to not get pregnant but hey why not line the pockets of those that contribute to your cause! Then his brilliant plan to reduce taxes, “tax the rich and give that money to the poor.” Nice thought but once you tax the companies who produce and sell everything that Americans consume, that tax increase is going to be passed right back along to the consumers. Where is the savings in that? The only way to stimulate the economy is to reduce spending, spend efficiently and increase savings.

Now let’s look at Health Care Reform. Obama is for Partial birth Abortion and refuses to approve funding to help save those babies who have survived the horrendous ordeal. Its okay to leave the baby to die on the table, don’t bother to try and help save a life. If life is not valued at conception, the most innocent and vulnerable are not protected, then I shudder to think what kind of health care reform is on the way. What will happen if you are old, have some sort of incurable disease, physically and mentally disabled? It really does make you think.

Then there is the Pro-choice platform. Now let’s just call it what it is- Legalized Murder! The only choice there is is whether to have sex or not. Getting pregnant is not a mistake, it is an outcome of having sex. Now they argue that once the baby is not “normal” then get rid of it. What a cop out! Who gives them the right to decide what is normal and what is not normal? They say that a babe in the womb is a parasite, it feeds from the mother, so the mother is entitled to get rid of the parasite. My question is this, how come if a mother kills a 3 month baby, one who is suckling on the breast which can be considered a parasitic act, she will be charged with murder? When a teenager begs his or her parents for money for the latest fad, can that not be seen as a parasitic act, yet if they were to kill that teenager it would be seen as murder? How come the double standard?!?!

This election is not about star power, its not about getting the Hollywood star, nor is it about how vanilla or chocolate ones skin is, its about the issues. It’s about walking the walk and talking the talk. Its about serving America not just Hollywood. Its not about using change to promote ones career, it’s about using ones career to promote change. Its about change you can believe in and change you can trust. It’s about making your vote count twice, once for what is right and once for what is wrong. And well the saying really is true, “Behind Every Good Man is a Great Woman.”

Flip Flopping Liberals Flip Out Over Palin

“Sarah Palin is to the left what sunlight is to a vampire. Her high heels have knocked them back on the heels of their comfortable shoes.”

Never has a woman been so attacked for simply being a woman. Democrats, Liberals and the media are shooting darts at Sarah Palin for being feminine. Latest to join the round table was the host of the recently concluded VMA’s on MTV. I have come to the following conclusions as to exactly why it is that Sarah Palin is being criticized and mocked.

She represents feminism, true feminism. She represents a feminism that fights for children and their lives (no matter if they are not “perfect”), that doesn’t hate men, and that isn’t pretentious and bitter. We only see the type of feminism that thinks that true freedom resembles “Sex and the City”. There’s more to life than fashion, promiscuity, fast cars and expensive vacations. Sarah is the light that cuts through the intellectual red tape and exposes feminist hypocrisy for what it really is. She takes a stance and stands by it.

They do not recognize what women have been fighting for all these years. Sarah has shown what women have known for years - they are strong, bright and capable and do not have to embrace the “feminist” agenda of gay rights, pro abortion, not to mention the political correctness / liberal agenda of energy caps, higher taxes, more government regulation, and the class war mentalities. She shows that no door was closed to her. Her choices should be admired. She and her husband should be admired for committing themselves to a marriage through the good and bad times for 20 years.

Palin is human like the rest of us. And maybe that is what is so attractive about her, she acts human. Sarah is the breath of fresh air that is needed, after years and years of hot air in Washington. She shows that there are smart women (and men for that matter) who believe in large families, who consider it noble to be a mother, who are against abortion, who bemoan the promiscuity of our times, who don’t believe that offering birth control to teens is the answer to out of wedlock pregnancy, that the most common sense answer lies in strong families who consider it a privilege and a sacred responsibility to have children. This is feminism in its truest sense!

As for all those objecting along the lines of “I don’t see the problem…isn’t it good to be pro-choice/secular/open-minded etc.” On the other hand, if the pro-choice claim were genuine, there would be no discussion of it, because the number of abortions throughout history would be zero. Everyone would choose the human experience, regardless of how they were conceived. Abortion is never the solution. The taking of another person’s life is never a reasonable response to our pain, no matter how much we hurt. To abort means to kill. To be pro-choice means that you freely support someone’s right to kill…to kill an innocent and defenseless life. There is hypocrisy in such stances. If human life is not important at the miracle of conception, how can life be somehow more important after birth? To be Pro-Choice does not mean that you are forward thinking or open minded. The whole “People will do it anyway” is also equally bogus. People shoplift everyday, people steal, so how come no one is campaigning for this to be legal?

I think that we are essentially teaching our children through abortion that we have no responsibility for our fellow man or accountability for our own actions. If a pregnant woman who wants and loves her child is killed, 2 counts of murder can be filed against the perpetrator. However, if a pregnant woman who doesn’t want her child decides to kill it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and it is even encouraged and promoted!

There are many reasons why I am Pro-life. Morality is not something that society can vote on. What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right. No matter if 99.99 percent of the population believes something is right…IT DOESNT MATTER, if God says it is wrong its wrong.The pro-choice claim is anything but choice because the person whose life is at stake was never given that choice. To be Pro-life also means actively doing something. How many Pro-lifers have adopted a child, volunteered at an orphanage, or taken some other type of action to support their beliefs? If we are not willing to volunteer and step up to the plate, then in all honesty how big of an issue is it to us?

The media will not ask the hard questions of Obama because they want him to win, and anything negative will be overlooked, and the questioner will be attacked as being racist or a liar or both. Would the media be so kind as to afford the same excuses to me that they allow Obama? I’m tired of hearing people say that Obama can’t be held to any kind of standard. It’s really scary to see someone rant against people that “cling to their guns and religion”, when he, most obviously, has a rubber spine when it comes to his “beliefs”. He will change his rhetoric and his actions at the drop of a poll to suit his audience of the moment. He says what you want to hear, he says what you need to hear. Obama has an uncanny ability to be on both sides of an issue at once. He tries to be “all things to all men.” He will be whoever you want him to be. To the church - “I personally hate abortion”. To the abortionists, “I fully support a woman’s right to abortion.” Obama is changing his positions to get votes, and in the end, the line between right and wrong in America gets fuzzier and fuzzier… McCain and Palin have already addressed more issues that are vital for the future growth of America than Barack Obama has in the whole time he’s been campaigning. He talks “change” but is neither specific nor believable. People talk about the flaws of the Obama ticket, the biggest flaw is probably the thinking that he is the answer to all the woes.

What more is there to say, Sarah is NOT a threat to the women’s movement. She IS the women’s movement! The Democrats know that if this woman becomes the Vice President she will open the door to current feminists to see that they don’t need to subscribe to radical liberalism to shatter the glass ceiling! In the end, with your own hands in the ballot box you seal your own fate.

Sarah Palin & Barack Obama-World Views

I find it amusing to see the 'feminist brigade' out in force denouncing Governor Palin for daring to be a working wife and mother. Am I missing something here? Have not the feminists applauded Hillary Clinton for maintaining her career seperate to her husband's while having a child at home and yet Senator Clinton is seen as a 'feminist heroine?'

Due to a tragic event in the life of Senator Biden the Senator found himself to be a single father. It is his right that he chose to remain a Senator while looking after his children and it is obvious he is a devoted father and Grandfather. The fact that he made sure he returned each evening to his family is commendable, but Governor Sarah Palin also returned to her home once her work was completed.

Why is one person hailed as a hero and another denounced?

Then we have Senator Obama and his 'experience.' Yes, I agree, Senator Obama does enjoy a massive amount of experience and knowledge in how to defeat bills that oppose abortion. He is an expert at double talk without actually committing himself to a permanent position, lest he may have to flip flop in the future.

When asked the question about a baby's rights Senator Obama glibly stated, "I'm absolutely convinced that there is a moral and ethical element to this issue." Yes, there is Senator but what exactly is your answer to the above question? Glib comments are not opinions. Once again when questioned Obama stated that to answer that question was "above his pay grade." Really? As always with Senator Obama his pay grade speaks louder than his principles or lack thereof.

"Under her (Governor Sarah Palin) leadership, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska."

That's called making decisions not in one's own self interest but with the interest of the people whom she was serving, the people of Alaska.

But Senator Obama was also busy in opposing the ban on Post Partial Abortions, he wanted it to remain. The Senator also supported infanticide, so yes, one can say he has a been busy man.

One has to concede though that Senator Obama means how he votes, he is on record stating that if his daughter made a mistake he would not want her to be "punished with a baby." So it's a case of killing one's own, rather than face up to responsibilities and be held accountable.

Governor Palin on the other hand is supporting her pregnant daughter who stepped up to the plate and decided to become a responsible human being and raise her unborn child with her soon to be husband. Sarah Palin doesn't see her soon to be born grandchild as a 'punishment' but instead see's it as a blessing. That's the difference.

As Michelle Obama so eloquently stated, "Who among the candidates running for the Senate of Illinois has stood up to the right wing politicians and voted against their agenda? Who can we count on to keep the Bush/Ashcroft team from appointing the Supreme Court Justice that will vote against Roe V Wade?"

Who indeed? Senator Obama truly does shine when it comes to defending abortions. Nobody does it better than Senator Obama.

My own personal opinion on the vitriolic attacks on Sarah Palin is due to the fact that she and her husband decided to keep their Down Syndrome baby. This flies in the face of every Pro-Abortion candidate and those who support abortions, isn't their motto that if it is not 'normal' then abort?

Once again Sarah see's her new baby as a blessing and Trig is indeed a blessing from God to the Palin family. Again that is the difference between the Obama family and the Palin family.

Do you see the difference?

Obama's Hurricane of Change

Senator Barack Obama has stated over and over that he will bring change to America. Just how much change can America take?

Once it was illegal to murder the unborn, now it is a right. America changed.

Once it was illegal to swear in movies or on TV or show graphic sex scenes, now it is considered art. America changed.

Once modesty was considered a virtue, now people can wear what they choose no matter how inappropriate. America changed.

Once homosexuality was seen as an unnatural act between people of the same sex, now it is a lifestyle choice. America changed.

Once every child prayed in school now it is outlawed. Prayer is gone and guns are in. America changed.

Once having the Ten Commandments in a public building was a sign of respect, now they are removed. America changed.

Once life was held as sacred now it is legal to kill the infirm. America changed.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

If the Senator truly wishes to bring about change then do the following.

Make abortion illegal and the rights of the unborn the top priority. That would be change.

Impose laws against the use of profanities in movies and on TV. Impose heavy fines on movies or programmes that include graphic sex scenes. That would be change.

Encourage people to dress appropriately. That would be change.

Reinstate the law against the act of homosexuality. That would be change.

Reinstate prayer and religious instructions into the school room. That would be change.

Guard and protect the right to display the Ten Commandments on Government buildings. That would be change.

Protect the rights of the infirm irrespective of how ill they are. That would be change.

So what change's is Senator Obama referring too? A change for the better or a change for the worse? You decide.

"They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."(Hosea 8:7)

China Must Get Out of Africa

China has a large and growing economic relationship with much of Africa. In the 10 years to 2005, two-way trade between China and Africa increased tenfold to US$32 billion.

With China's economy growing by an average nine per cent a year for the past decade, Africa has become an important source of mineral resources, agricultural products, timber and, most important of all, oil.

China undoubtedly has leverage over Africa and has directly benefited from it. But is it prepared to use its leverage to achieve political and human rights changes?

When the true horror of Darfur became clear to the world many foreign oil companies opted to leave Sudan, pressured by activists and governments in North America and Europe. China's state-owned oil companies felt no such pressure and quickly stepped into the breach. China soon became the single largest investor in Sudan, mainly in its oil sector. Military hardware followed, soon becoming a major export. Read More by clicking HERE.

Australia A Change in Direction

On Saturday, Australians went to the polls. Unlike America our system works pretty fast, when voting in a new Government, thank goodness.

One of the issues that many Australians were disgruntled about was the unfair IR Law known as Australian Workplace Agreement(AWA). How can an employee discuss their work options and come to a mutual agreement with an employer? That may work for small business but what about large conglomerates? Where workers are viewed as statistics and the employer keep's his eye on the profit margin. What is fair about a 'contract' that is weighted in the employers favour?

Here is what Bishop Manning had to say, "The right of workers to act collectively is central to Catholic social teaching. It was stated explicitly in [the encyclical] Rerum Novarum... Let us be very clear about this: there is no right to collective bargaining under the legislation. Any collective bargaining that may take place is entirely at the whim of the employer...Work Choices violates Catholic Social Teaching on the Option for the Poor and, indeed, any reasonable notion of a ‘fair go.. In the regulation of the labour market, governments have an obligation to protect the rights of the vulnerable. No fair-minded person could say that Work Choices does that."

Unlike Prime Minister Howard, the newly elected Prime Minister, Rudd will sign the Kyoto agreement. He will also bring our troops back from Iraq, while maintaining our troops in Afghanistan.

Prime Minister John Howard should have noted one thing. When you arrogantly presume to act for the worker then you best do so with their best interests at heart and not a self serving one. For in the end the workers will let the sitting government know just how unhappy they are in the ballot box.

For an example at my brothers work place the maintenance team must now work 50 hours a week before they can get overtime. If they work on the weekend the pay rate stays the same with no overtime. The new 'rules' are weighted in the Employers favour, which may suit the affluent but leads to the detriment of the working man.

I wish Maxine McKew, the very best as she seems destined to unseat a sitting Prime Minister from his own electorate.

I'm back - Some thoughts and stuff

So I have not been around and have missed out on so much that has been going on, I have to do the seven weird things or facts about you meme, looks like fun. Hope that everyone is doing okay and that you’ll don’t catch the awful flu I am still getting over. I am really NOT good at the having to lie down in bed and not be able to do anything not only cause I was feeling so sick but I think sometimes God uses stuff like this to get our attention to just be still and listen. I’ll write more on this tomorrow.

While in bed I did watch a lot more TV than I’m used to watching. We have elections here on November 5^th and it has been campaigning and political advertisements and I’m just really glad that the election is almost here and over with cause I don’t understand how Americans can live through years of campaigning for their elections. Do keep our country in your prayers.

I want to know your views on Halloween. It is not really celebrated here, the night clubs have picked up on it and on that night you have to be in a costume to get in and all that but we don’t have the decorating or the trick or treating expect for the areas where a lot of Americans live. But I do have my own thoughts on this holiday. I have been in the States for this holiday and to be quite honest I don’t like it. I think it’s a dangerous holiday not only for your teeth but I think the fact that it is associated with the occult and its so easy to subtly make things that are not good seem good and fun. Its not only the fact that people enjoy dressing up as these disgusting creatures and characters but the fact that they go all out on the decorations and really get into the spirit of Halloween yet when it comes to holidays like Christmas for instance folks find it hard to put out a nativity set or anything associated with Christ who is the real reason for the season. These are my thoughts, what are yours?

Pell slams "stalinist" parliamentary contempt probe

It is high time that the Catholic Church takes a risk and actually stands by its beliefs. There are enough 'cafeteria catholics' in this world to fill a country. We dont need our Clergy to follow 'govermental lines' when the government of the day is proposing legislature that is against the Commandments of God.

Cardinal Pell has been taking a strong stand against Embryonic stem cell research since it was first proposed, he also takes the same stance towards Pro-Choice abortion and activist homosexuals. It is right to refuse a woman The Eucharist when she is unapologetic about her abortion & refuses to Confess such a sin. It is equally right to refuse politicians who vote FOR Abortions to receive The Eucharist, any other stance makes the Church appear hypocritical.

It is time that our Priests, Bishops and Cardinals refuse to give Communion to those who particpate and also legislate for Pro-Abortion and embryonic stem cell research.

The Catholic Church should not be timid when dealing with such integral issues as abortion, the propogation of embryonic stem cell research and activist homosexuals but instead stand firm against the tide, even if it means they may stand alone.

Below is a piece about Cardinal Pell, and the attempts by certain politicians and elements of the press who are trying to intimidate this great man of the Church into silence. I hope and pray that the Cardinal will stand firm against laws which are an abomination to God.
