Barack Hussein Obama, a Delicate Flower

It has become a sorry state of affairs when a candidate for the highest office in the land and arguably the world wears his feelings on his sleeves and people in the media tip-toe around him to ensure they don’t hurt his delicate sensibilities.

It is not acceptable to call him by the name his parents gave him because it might have a negative connotation and turn off some potential voters. The main stream media are tripping all over themselves to accommodate his wishes. Anyone who doesn’t follow his wishes in this area is considered to be a hate monger or a racist.

Yesterday, Barack had to come down on his preacher, Jeremiah Wright. I don’t know about anyone else but I wasn’t blown away with his speech. I really didn’t like the way he dissed the founders for not stopping slavery, but that is another issue. He also didn’t distance himself from what Wright was saying, only that he now knew that these things were being said and he didn’t agree with them. That begs the question of why did he stay in this church if the values being espoused were so wrong in his opinion. Why did he not stand up to challenge the pastor’s rhetoric? I just don’t buy it.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Well, it has been several weeks since my last post. If you are keeping up with this, I apologize. No reason really, possibly depressed with the choices that we are down to. It is easy to fall into the “What’s the use?” mindset.

I have been doing some reading though, and watching the news. Politicians are starting to jockey for position now with Mitt Romney throwing his support behind John McCain, and just casually mentioning that he would not be against the idea of being the Vice Presidential Candidate on the Republican ticket. Hillary supporters are pointing out that Barrack is black, which came as a total shock to me, I thought he just had a great tan!

Yes, the fighting is getting more intense as the conventions loom closer and closer, yet no one has said anything of substance in this race. Or have they? It is possible that they have already brought everything they have to the table and laid it out for all to see. In other words, they don’t have anything to offer the American People. Has it gotten to the point that no one who is qualified and who has a vision of what this country can be is even interested in the job?

Personally, I am fed up with what I am seeing, and the more I think of it the more depressing it becomes. The one ray of light that I see is coming from a third party, the Libertarian Party. Typically, third parties don’t do well in our system, but that is also how parties evolve. When the two parties become so similar that you feel there is no difference in who you vote for it is time to examine what options are available.

Maybe it is time we looked at Wayne Allyn Root and his bid for the Presidency as the Libertarian Candidate. This is something that deserves a closer look.

Farewell Fred

Fred, you will be sorely missed! Our prayers are with you and your mother through her illness.

Thank you for your love of country and your devotion to your conservative values. Both of these were evident as you spoke and were a breath of fresh air to many of us who feel abandoned by our representatives in Washington. Personally, I feel better knowing that there are some true conservatives left who will stand on principle without wavering.

Thanks again.

A Sad Day for National Security

After failing to gain traction in his campaign, Congressman Duncan Hunter has dropped out of the GOP Presidential Primary Race. As a true conservative he will be sorely missed, even more so because of his strong stance for securing our borders. My personal belief is that it was his push for the border fence that actually kept him from gaining the momentum he needed to make a showing in the Presidential Primaries.

While border security is a major concern of mine, and definitely one of the factors I have in choosing a candidate, Congressman Hunter seemed to dwell upon that at the expense of other important issues. Every interview I heard with Duncan focused on that single issue, and unfortunately, there are other issues that have to be faced in this campaign as well.

Congressman Hunter, it is my fervent prayer that you will be able to make some real progress in Washington regarding our border security, and that you will start planning now for the 2012 Presidential Campaign. This country needs strong conservative voices like yours!
