What are we coming to when the people who protest against murdering children just inches from being born by stabbing them in the back of the head and sucking out their brains are called extremists, but the people who perform and/or support this gruesome procedure are main stream?
What are we coming to when the people who serve their country, leave their family behind for months at a time, and sometimes sacrifice their lives in defense of freedom are spit on, called murderers and rapists while those doing the name-calling are called patriots.
What are we coming to when it is okay to slaughter our unborn children, elderly and sometimes physically disabled (i.e. Terri Schiavo) but the death penalty for murderers is considered cruel and inhuman?
What are we coming to when the man sitting at a library computer looking at child porn is protected by the library, but the librarian who turns him in to the police is fired?
What are we coming to when morality is mocked in movies, on the news, in society in general and prostitutes who sleep with politicians are offered music, movie, and book deals?
What are we coming to when we work four months out of the year just to pay our taxes?
It’s like I’m in the twilight zone. Things that are immoral are seen as good, things that are good are mocked and treated with disdain. God forbid Christianity be anywhere in government, after all thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not bear false witness, honor your mother and father… those are things to fear….
God help us all.

GAS PRICES
The Democrats are at it again, parading Oil executives in front of their committee to chastize them for making profits and for the price of gas. If Democrats really cared about rising gas prices, then why would they propose a 50 cent increase on the gas tax? Exactly, they wouldn’t. The rising cost of oil is due to their environmental regulations on American businesses.
Starting in the 70’s, when environmentalism became more important than domestic drilling, we became more dependent on foreign oil and we were forced to start rationing oil when in 1973 an international oil embargo was imposed on Western society. When foreign countries decided to stop exporting oil to Western countries, the price of oil skyrocketed (high demand, low supply).
We didn’t learn much from the 70’s. To this day, Democrats (and some Republicans) have blocked domestic oil drilling repeatedly while our domestic demand for oil has continued to rise. It isn’t that the oil companies are running up the prices, it is that the environmentalist liberals are running up the prices by keeping our supplies low and preventing new oil refineries from being built & domestic oil drilling.
Every business in America is there to make a profit. Most of us own stocks in oil companies through our 401K plans. And almost all of these oil companies own subsidiaries non-related to oil production that they make profits from. As stockholders, if they didn’t make a profit, we could sue them. Yet whenever a business does well, they are attacked by Democrats. It doesn’t matter to them that by driving their stock prices down, they are hurting middle class Americans who are investing for their retirement in those stocks. It doesn’t matter to them that when they hurt a business they also hurt the men and women who work for that business.
Drilling for oil can be dangerous. I know it is extremely hard work and most workers are highly compensated for that hard work. Demonizing oil companies is just Congress’ way of diverting attention from their destructive policies and blaming the results on a innocent business. They can’t have Americans realizing that Congress are the ones that are ruining the economy by their regulations on businesses, their corporate taxes that make us less competitive with foreign companies, their environmental policies, their outrageous taxes on individuals, and their unchecked pork barrel spending.
Wake up America - Congress doesn’t fix anything. They are the ones who create our problems. Stop asking for their help and start telling them to butt out.

JOHN MCCAIN
Just when I am about to convince myself to vote for McCain, he opens his mouth. I know the man was tortured in Vietnam, but I don’t know how he can consider water boarding to be anywhere in the realm of the kind of torture the Viet-Cong used on him. As President of the United States, your primary responsibility is to protect American citizens, yet if a terrorist knew where a nuclear bomb was planted and we needed that information to save thousands, possibly millions of Americans, John McCain would not use whatever means necessary to secure that information because he is worried about what the rest of the world would think of us. That is dereliction of duty in my book.
John McCain wants to shut down Guantanamo Bay and bring the terrorists to the mainland. He wants to shut down the military installation - that allows the Muslim prisoners to pray three times a day, and feeds them honey-glazed chicken and lemon-baked fish - because the rest of the world seems to think we torture prisoners there. I am sick of our domestic policies being decided based on what the rest of the world thinks of us. Obviously the terrorists who are not part of a regular army, who behead their captives and are not opposed to using women and children as human shields do not fall under the regulations of the Geneva convention (and do not follow Geneva convention either).
It is the responsibility of our political leaders to protect this country. That is their primary duty. Liberals appear to feel more compassion for the terrorists caught in the act of trying to kill (or successfully killing) our soldiers than they do for our soldiers. The same soldiers that they (Democrats and Republicans) sent to this war in the first place. McCain appears to be more with them than against them. He may have suffered a lot for this country, but he apparently is more concerned about what Europe thinks of him than he is about keeping this country secure. His ego is so big, that I have yet to see him make any kind of outreach to conservatives.
McCain may very well win this election with the Democrat contest becoming more and more divisive, even with a lot of conservatives sitting out the election. I don’t think there is one conservative issue that McCain hasn’t compromised in his Senate seat. He is pro-life but supports embryonic stem-cell research. He is pro-guns but supported putting the government in charge of private gun shows and enabling the government to deny permits without cause. He is pro-victory in Iraq, but wants to close Gitmo and move the terrorists to the mainland where they will be tried in public courts instead of military tribunals even though trying them will compromise our intelligence. He is pro-tax cuts but called the Bush tax cuts "tax cuts for the rich" (a liberal mantra). He is pro-free speech but sponsored the campaign finance laws that were supposed to remove the influence of money in campaigns. Instead these laws quash free speech during political campaigns and allow billionaire-socialists like George Soros to have more influence than they ever had before.
I keep hearing so-called conservatives telling me that I should support John McCain because he is better than the other choices. But when I hear our candidate giving speeches that sound more like Jack Murtha and Ted Kennedy than like Ronald Reagan, I start to feel very leery about giving control of our party to such a person. To me it is a bit more than holding my nose and voting for McCain. It is more like swallowing a bucket of excrement while trying to keep a smile on my face. So far, I just can’t convince myself that the end result will be worth the misery.
