America is a country in crisis; we also have an extremely important election coming up very soon. I'm writing this as a citizen who's very concerned about the state our nation is in. I'm concerned about what this election will mean to our future (both immediately and long-term). I'm concerned about the impact it will have on our families' future depending on how the crisis situations and everyday governing decisions are handled by the next President. I'm concerned about the liberal bias in the mainstream media that has had a very definite effect on the understanding of many of America's citizens. It is obvious to anyone who cares to look at it realistically, that this bias exists. Because of it, many Americans have been misinformed about issues that affect our current situations. We have a nation with many people who (because of the blessings we have in America) are so used to immediate gratification and looking only at 'what does this mean for me and my personal needs & wants right now' that they no longer have the ability (or maybe it's: the desire) to look at the big picture of 'what is really best for our country's long term benefit'.
Let's start by taking a look at a couple of the issues we face. A big thing in the news right now is the current financial crisis. This is one of the things that Obama wants to blame on President Bush and link Sen. McCain with him on it. This is Obama's often repeated method of trying to draw attention away from his link to the issue or question at hand. It is a proven fact that this situation has been brewing for a long time. The late, Larry Burkett (a money management expert), in an interview given in 1992, discussed what he saw happening in relation to the mortgage aspect of this current crisis and it's what just happened. During that interview he stated that this had been going on for a long time...some aspects of the problem even began as early as the 1920's. Since his predictions in 1992 have accurately come to full bloom in 2008, we can see that this was not a problem caused by Bush or McCain. Burkett interview
In fact several years ago a senator wrote a statement to the Senate which was signed by 20 senators (all were Republicans) urging that something be done to correct the problems that were evident to them by then...that senator was Senator McCain. read a copy of this letter Not a single Democrat would sign it...in fact there is a YouTube video of Democrats caught in the act of trying to cover up the problems.

By now, I'm sure everyone knows that the radically liberal ACORN group is in the picture on this problem also - and how. In spite of his efforts to avoid the issue, deflect and then spin it, Obama has been shown to be more closely linked with this group than he will admit.
ACORN=Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now.
BHO was a Chicago community organizer AND their lawyer for more than just the 'motor-voter' stuff he was finally forced to admit.

Don't make the mistake of being misled into voting for the very same party and candidate who is responsible for the economic crisis we now face ...just because he's very practiced at being eloquently deceptive.
I do agree that our government had to do something in the face of this financial crisis...but, I'm not convinced that it was handled right. Here's part of what's wrong... first, McCain suspends his campaigning to go back to Washington and try to help work out something that will help fix this crisis (a good choice considering this was an issue that had concerned him enough that he'd tried to get it addressed years ago). My sources state that he was successful in getting the majority of the Republicans who did vote for it the first time to do so. Obama and his media played it off as the stunt of an erratic man. As we already know, it didn't pass the first time...partly because of a Democratic party controlled Congress that was playing politics. So what was done to get something accomplished? Sweeteners ...in other words - pork barrel add-ons totaling in the hundreds of thousands. Things that I read Republicans wanted added in include getting rid of the SEC accounting rule called 'mark to market' that has played a part in causing this crisis and raising the FDIC limit from $100,000 to $250,000 temporarily. Both sound like acceptable additions that will affect the situation positively. Things I read that Democrats wanted added in include things that I think are wrong. For one thing, if you live in a state that has a state income tax, you've been able to write it off on your Federal return. Thanks to Democrats, they've now extended that exemption to people who live in a state where they DO NOT have to pay state income taxes to begin with...so now, these people can write off an expense that they never even had. These things are just 'a drop in the bucket' compared to all the pork...not to mention giving money to places like AIG who apparently decided to have a spa weekend with it...and then went back for more handout money. What Senator McCain has said about using part of the government money to help keep individuals from losing their home instead of sinking all of it into bailing out the big businesses makes sense to me...he explained how it was done before and the investment actually made money back. No senator (or human being) is perfect, but... Senator McCain does have a record of working against pork barrel politics...Senator Obama's record is the exact opposite. Check it out from an independent, non-partisan source for yourself and you'll find out that BHO has personally asked for many thousands of dollars in 'Pork'. Senator McCain did try to get Congress to head off this crisis years ago; around 200 economists have signed a petition supporting his plans as the better way to improve the economy. He has the record America needs. Obama has a record of using the tax code to 'spread the wealth around' because he thinks it's 'good for everyone'. Obama promised voters in IL that he'd lower taxes for 95% of them too; but he got in and voted to raise their taxes - repeatedly. Why would anyone believe that he'd change his M.O. now?
The next big issue we face as a nation is the war in Iraq. To me, we don't have two different wars, but instead, two different fronts in one global war on terrorism. I believe that history will look back and show that what we've been experiencing since 9/11 is the beginning seeds of WW3 taking hold...and this war will be the one described in the book of Revelation. I reach to this conclusion from a long term interest in Bible prophecy...and am, by no means, the only person who believes this. War is always a bad thing and a last choice, but according to God's word...there are 'just wars' that, from time to time, people must engage in. I believe that our nation would've been completely happy to avoid going to war against terrorists, but was pushed into this war by 9/11. We aren't fighting one man (Osama), but a huge horde of terrorists that have two things as their only desire: destroying America and wiping Israel off the face of the Earth. Furthermore, they will stop at nothing to do this. They (radical Islamic terrorists) aren't a people that America can sit down & talk with rationally & honorably ...because it's central to their belief that they Should Lie to Infidels in their quest to destroy them...and, to their twisted thinking, we (Americans) are the infidels. Barack Hussein Obama has shown a huge lack of judgment and naiveté in how he's repeatedly said that he would approach foreign relations with countries like Iran, etc.... One thought: diplomacy is a good thing and should be utilized whenever possible, but sitting down to chat with Ahmadinejad without precursors is not diplomacy, it's ignorance personified. Without sanctions, there is NO REASON for any terrorist nation to listen to reason.
First, I want to say that I certainly don't think everything during this war has been done in the best way possible, but it's far better to do the right thing and make some missteps than to do nothing and enable terrorism to rule the world. Here's a big component of WHY so many Americans are mad at President Bush about Iraq (and how BHO has used it against McCain). I know everyone's heard it... "Bush Lied, People Died". It's the mantra of Democrats, Liberals & Radicals. It would make me mad too...except for the fact that I know that the mantra itself is the actual lie.
THERE ARE SEPARATE NON-PARTISAN SOURCES THAT VERIFY... HUSSEIN DID HAVE WMDs. However, you won't hear about it on the liberal mainstream media which made a conscious (& I say, treasonous) decision to cover up the evidence. Here are a few sources of the truth about WMDs:
- The Terrorist Watch; Ronald Kessler (Crown Forum/2007)
- Shadow Warriors; Kenneth Timmerman; Nobel peace prize nominee/ 2006; (Crown Forum/2005)
- Saddam's Secrets; Georges Sada (Integrity Publishers/2006)
- The Bomb in My Garden; 2004/ Dr. Mahdi Obeidi
- Saddam's Bomb Maker; Dr. Khidir Hamza
Here's a short summary of documented WMD info. UNSCOM: there were dozens of known active WMD production sites during the 1990s. The UN, Russia, China, France, and America's mainstream media all knew about the many weapons plants all over Iraq, but chose to ignore the evidence. Many of those countries were involved in Food-for-Oil; it helped Hussein personally gain over $11 billion while starving Iraqis. Shiploads of goods from Russia & France labeled as 'replacement parts' etc... were actually missile guidance systems and rocket engines. German, French & Russian scientists helped Iraqi engineers begin their nuclear weapons and these three countries also voted against the Allied invasion to depose Hussein. There is documented proof that Hussein had smuggled WMDs before, during and after the 1st Gulf War. In 2002, an irrigation dam in Syria collapsed. This provided Hussein with the perfect cover story; he used a "mission of mercy" story to carry deadly toxins out of Iraq into Syria. US troops on the way to Baghdad in 2003 found caches of chemical weapons precursors, biological weapons programs, and plans for a nuclear weapons program. There was a CNN camera crew along with the soldiers, but they never reported the truth. The single source with the most damning info is said to be the former Iraqi General, Georges Sada, who wrote source3 above; I've heard him speak very convincingly about what he knows and why he wrote Saddam's Secrets.
Nobody in America likes or wants a war; it will be a great day when war is over. Still, to continue in the future as a sovereign nation, America needs to stay the course and finish (in a good way) what we had to begin. American soldiers have lost their lives in this fight and that's why we, as Americans, hate war. To us, every single life lost is a tragedy. To our enemies, every life lost is a joy...whether it's one of ours or one of their own. We choose to value life; they choose to value death. The American lives lost have (at least) been lost in a fight to improve the world situation for the benefit of terrorized and oppressed people. IF we act according to Obama's campaign rhetoric, we have condemned those brave soldiers to a death for nothing...we will have turned this conflict into another VietNam. They deserve better; they deserve for us to finish the job WELL and as soon as is humanly possible. Then our military will come home in victory as McCain plans...instead of in defeat as Obama plans. (FYI: Even though he's said (among other conflicting statements) that we should've gotten out last spring, he won't commit to even having our soldiers home by the end of his 1st term - that would be 2013. Just another example of how he says whatever he thinks the current audience wants to hear....of how his actions contradict his eloquent words.) Senator McCain has a strong history of experience in how to get through terrible times and come out strong; he has the knowledge we need to finish this involvement in Iraq the right way.
We don't have much time until one of the most important elections in a long time takes place. There's much more at stake than is being discussed in the news media (more on that later). The number of legitimate questions and issues can be overwhelming to people just trying to get through the day well and do what's right. I hope you'll join me in taking the time to do a little research into what's really true before you vote on November 4th. I hope you'll look into the records of both candidates and see for yourself what they really stand for. The best indicators of a person's future actions, is their past actions...so research their voting records (at an unbiased source) if you do nothing else. Then Vote! ...And, I challenge everyone to vote by what your conscience tells you is the best choice for our country's future...not only what someone tells you about filling your wallet.
