[...the only way to assess their position is to look at each man in the round, at what his general attitude is towards war and self-defence, aggression and appeasement, the values of the west and those of its enemies and – perhaps most crucially of all – the nature of the advisers and associates to whom he is listening. As I have said before, I do not trust McCain; I think his judgment is erratic and impetuous, and sometimes wrong. But on the big picture, he gets it. He will defend America and the free world whereas Obama will undermine them and aid their enemies.
Here’s why. McCain believes in protecting and defending America as it is. Obama tells the world he is ashamed of America and wants to change it into something else. McCain stands for American exceptionalism, the belief that American values are superior to tyrannies. Obama stands for the expiation of America’s original sin in oppressing black people, the third world and the poor.
Obama thinks world conflicts are basically the west’s fault, and so it must right the injustices it has inflicted. That’s why he believes in ‘soft power’ — diplomacy, aid, rectifying ‘grievances’ (thus legitimising them, encouraging terror and promoting injustice) and resolving conflict by talking. As a result, he will take an axe to America’s defences at the very time when they need to be built up. He has said he will ‘cut investments in unproven missile defense systems’; he will ‘not weaponize space’; he will ‘slow our development of future combat systems’; and he will also ‘not develop nuclear weapons,’ pledging to seek ‘deep cuts’ in America’s arsenal, thus unilaterally disabling its nuclear deterrent as Russia and China engage in massive military buildups.
The article gets even more alarming as she continues...and you can read it HERE in its entirety.
What a catastrophe it would be if our country elected an inexperienced, extreme liberal simply based upon his non response to a mortgage crisis for which he and his Democrat cronies are largely responsible, only to realize the mistake after we are surrounded by enemies giving us the ultimatum of servitude and bondage vs. extermination. History (if anyone will be allowed to write it by then) will ask..."Where was the Media?"
From now until election day I will try to make the time to present other convincing arguments I find or that friends send my way.

This is really timely considering the flap Joe the Plumber got into for agreeing with some Jewish guy that Obama being President will be the death of Israel. The Press still doesn't get it.
Looks like voters might throw another hissy fit like they did when another harmless dove, inexperienced in foreign relations and hater of the military, and elected out of spite for Republicans. I'm talking about Bill Clinton here. Fortunately back then we were at the end of The Cold War with no real threat to deal with. Now is not the time for another hissy fit! We don't have that luxury.
These are perilous times. as both gretchen and jeff point out. With 3 days to go to election day, I pray that the American electorate will make the right choice. I know how I'm voting--straight GOP!
