For Sale: Land of the Free

When I woke up this morning I turned on the radio and just lay there as so many thoughts raced through my head. And so there will be SEVERAL blog entries today and this evening. I named this blog 1,001 reasons nobama, but could have easily made it 10,001.

If you woke up, looked out in the front yard, and saw that someone had placed a for sale sign in your front yard, you would go out and take it down, RIGHT?(assuming it wasn't a realtor you hired because YOU are selling your house). You wouldn't LET someone sell YOUR house, would you? It's YOURS to sell. Well this great country is yours too. And not just a little piece of it. ALL OF IT. It's yours, it's mine. It's ours. And it's not for sale. Not today, not ever. Each of has a vote in this matter, and we can either SELL the country, and vote for Obama, or we can take the sign down and vote for McCain.

Isn't Barack Obama trying to BUY your vote? Obama says he is all about "change," but isn't he doing the SAME thing that Democrats ALWAYS do to get elected, buy your vote? Who would vote for him if he wasn't promising them FREE health care and all the other goodies in his bag?

And while I am on the subject, seems to me that when Bill Clinton was asking for your vote, he did the "health care for everyone" thing . . . but in his eight years did he deliver on that promise? No. And who would PAY for it anyway? The working class. That means, no matter WHAT they say, taxes have to go UP, UP, UP for the people who WORK to pay for all these goodies politicians promise.

So the trick is to paint the last eight years as being as bad as possible so people will want "change", point to home foreclosures, highlight a few poor people without health insurance, convince people they are miserable and promise that you are going to "make everything better."

Here's a NEWSFLASH: The Senate and House of Representatives pass laws, the PRESIDENT DOESN'T, and both houses are controlled by Democrats. So if things REALLY ARE THAT BAD, it's the Democrats who should be taking the blame. But Obama thinks we are all stupid enough to just blame the President for every little thing in the world that isn't perfect. Which reminds me . . . things may not be perfect here. They never will be. This is the USA, not Oz. Go ahead and name a few countries that you believe have it better than us. Mexico? their citizens sneak into the US every day. THIS IS WHERE THEY WANT TO BE! How about China? a booming economy, but ZERO human rights. No freedom of religion, and they have a ONE-CHILD law that is strictly enforced. No child is allowed to have a brother or sister without the family paying a HUGE FINE(usually several years of wages) to have that additional child. Would you rather SELL your freedom to live with 30 of your relatives, sleep on the floor, and be told by your country how many children you can have... but have a "booming economy?"

I remind you that this IS the greatest country in the world, and that is why WHAT WE SAY GOES. There isn't ONE NATION that could even THINK about standing toe to toe with us. Which brings me to my FINAL POINT of this entry . . . . The President, no matter WHAT they say in their speeches, is basically limited to these major powers:

1)Commander in Chief
2)Veto Power
3)Supreme Court appointments

Barack Obama can no more deliver on his promises that I CAN. It isn't in the power of the President to implement one single law. He doesn't MAKE law, he ENFORCES it. So who would be the better Commander in Chief? A no brainer, right? Even the left-wing media acknowledges that Americans prefer McCain to Obama in this critical area. How about Veto Power? Who is more likely to VETO bills chocked with earmarks and wasteful spending? Again, a no-brainer. Obama's answer to EVERYTHING is: "find a problem, create a bureaucracy, spend some money." McCain is the Maverick. And who do you want making lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court? A Freshman senator who has written TWO books about himself? Or a man who has spent his LIFE fighting for this country, both in uniform AND in Washington?

As Americans, we have to keep doing what we have always done. The American Dream is not a handout, it is something you earn. You don't wake up one morning and find the American Dream under your Christmas Tree. If that were even possible, Santa Claus would be in the White House, not George W. Bush. You know, the guy who did such a bad job the first four years that we gave him ANOTHER FOUR!?!?!? Yeah, that guy. Before I close let me say that George W. Bush has been a FANTASTIC Commander in Chief, and THAT is the most important job a President has in this great country. So I leave you now with a trivia question:

Q: Exactly how many acts of terrorism have we had in the United States since September 11, 2001?

A: ZERO.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
