The Democratic Follies

Three articles today; one from Townhall, one from NewsMax and one fron CNS News.

When one is President of the United States, it's understood you often have to deal with difficult people. Those people don't really care which "party" you represent; to them, you represent an entire country. These people don't care if the media has a particular "bias" you don't care for--if you profess to that being an issue of yours, they see it as a weakness to exploit.

As the leader of the free world, you are expected to deal with all issues that come your way, whether you like it or not. You are expected to deal with people whose ideas and idealogies you don't agree with. And you'll be doing it on a very public stage.

These people, who also represent countries or factions of their own, may loathe you. You have to deal with that. However, when they deal with you, they want to know they are dealing with YOU--not your puppet-master.

John Edwards has shown not once, but twice, he won't deal with people he perceives as "different" or "having a conservative bias", mainly Fox News. He is shown to be wearing the strings of his puppet-master, George Soros of MoveOn.org.

How are we the people to have any faith in him being President, being the leader of the free world, if he won't even debate on a news network he perceives as too conservative? How are we to believe he's free of his strings and will truly represent the interests of the country rather than Mr. Soros?

We can't. He doesn't. And, as such, he doesn't deserve the office of President. How will he deal with the thugs, tyrants and dictators of the world if he's afraid of conservatism? His actions show his complete cowardice. That is not good, no matter how you paint or spin it, for this country.

Here's the Townhall article: "Brave John Edwards Ran Away"
http://townhall.com/columnists/JonSanders/2007/04/09/brave_john_edwards_ran_away

In another item from Newsmax, Elizabeth Edwards isn't capable of dealing with neighbors and their opposing viewpoint. While we empathize with the Edwards' family regarding Elizabeth's cancer, she has chosen to stay on the campaign trail, with the support of her family. Her illness doesn't excuse such idiotic ramblings, imagined "fears" and outright prejudice she professes regarding her Orange County neighbor.

Directly across the street from their McMansion is the home of Monty Johnson. Mr. Johnson is a Republican. Mr. Johnson protected his property (albeit not the best way) by chasing people off his property while waving a gun. The Edwards' reaction doesn't bode well for the 2nd Amendment and leads us to extrapolate the common citizen won't be allowed to defend his or her property, a typical democrat attitude leaning towards socialism/facism/communism and the belief we all need "nannys" to watch over us.

Mr. Johnson has a business on his property, leased as a car shop. Mr. Johnson doesn't have hordes of landscapers and builders, so his property, bought during the Great Depression by his family and worn with time, is considered "slummy" by the Edwards', who claim he keeps it that way on purpose to, basically "spite" them. I prefer Mr. Johnson's response, "I have to budget. I have to leave within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."

MOST of our First Lady's (I really don't count Billary) have a modicum of class and are not quite so transparent with their paranoia. The fact we're seeing such prejudice and paranoia coming from Elizabeth shows what kind of First Lady she would make. It's not a pretty picture. If her husband isn't running from debates, she's making polarizing/divisive/prejudicial statements about the opposing party.

Nice act guys--glad to see it materialized before you got elected.

Here's the NewsMax Article: "John Edward's Wife Scared by 'Rabid Republican'":
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/4/9/103709.shtml?s=al&promo_code=320E-1

Our third article comes from CNS News and relates to Steny Hoyer's (Pelosi's lapdog) meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood--the parent organization of Hamas. This on the heels of Pelosi's attempt to do the Secretary of State's job in Damascus (and failing miserably, even to the point she didn't see she was being ridiculed to her face for "mis-reading" the signs).

So, now we have the SoH dealing with Hezbollah and the House Majority Leader dealing with Hamas. But the defeatists (leftists, liberals, tree-huggers, traitors, you pick the adjective) would have us believe there's nothing wrong with this. Maybe the only way they'll ever learn is when we have yet another terrorist incident on US soil. Unfortunately, if they have their way, there won't be a military to defend them and their rights to spew the filth and hate they can't seem to contain, said liberal leanings being recently seen to be a mental illness such as Tourette's.

Here's the article: "Top Democrat Meets With Radical Islamists":
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200704/POL20070409b.html

Here are other articles along the same lines of Democratic Leaders meeting with terrorist organizations:

"Hamas Confirms Meeting With Group of Democrats (Leader claims U.S. party willing to hold dialogue with terrorists)":
http://www.israelnetdaily.com/redir.php?headline=95344

"Report: Hamas Ministers met With US, EU Officials":
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3337041,00.html

And these so-called leaders don't want us to know these things or will brush them off as "diplomacy", something best left to appointed diplomats. Dealing with terrorists at OUR peril. Yet, half the country thinks this is okay. They call themselves Democrats.

Please explain to me why it's "okay" to deal with terrorist states/leaders who have made it clear they want to annihilate us? Please, explain to me why these Democrats think "talking" will work with these terrorist nations against all proof to the contrary? What is it they just don't get? Or is their arrogance too overwhelming in their minds they think all countries will bow down to them? Are they truly that delusional?

God help us all if they take over the White House in a time of war.

Winston Churchill Quotes

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
I like a man who grins when he fights.
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Moral of the Work. In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Never, never, never give up.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Ronald Reagan Quotes

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.
All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources
Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
Double, no triple, our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth. It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause.
Facts are stupid things.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
How can a president not be an actor?
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I'm not going to deny that you don't now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand.
In Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tryanny and unrest.
Let us ask ourselves; "What kind of people do we think we are?".
Man is not free unless government is limited.
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act.

The United Sates has much to offer the third world war.
There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
You know, if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough, I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed.
