God Save America

So Nancy Pelosi says the Democrat Party will not seek impeachment proceedings against President Bush IF the Democrats take control of the House and Senate.

Coming from a Democrat, that's a big IF. Remember, Democrats seldom tell the electorate what they plan on doing after Election Day, because to do that would spell doom. Just ask Bill Clinton where that middle-class tax cut that got him elected President the first time went…?

The position Pelosi now takes can't be rubbing terrorists worldwide the right way. Their current strategy of ramping up murder in Iraq is working. Democrat pundits are using the deaths of American soldiers as a marketing tool to energize the liberal base and give them a reason to point their fingers at Republicans and scream "See…?"

Liberals are now pulling out all the stops. The only way they can will next month is to blame the up-tick in Iraq violence on a failed military campaign. The only reason it's failed is because our military has been forced to fight with their hands behind their backs.

Let's not be taken out of context: war is hell, which is why it should be only used as a last resort. But when we do opt to send in the troops, it should be balls-to-the-wall, kick ass, win the damn thing and get out.

But that's something we can't do anymore as a nation. We can't win. Winning is bad because, in the liberal mind, that wouldn't be fair to the loser. So we go in, complete with embedded reporters that are there to supposedly report the goings on, but in reality, are there to document the atrocities of war, and only when we commit them.

And if they can air some video of courageous freedom fighter picking off one of our Marines, maybe it's worth a Pulitzer or two.

While our domestic media focuses on the increase of roadside and homicide bombings, kidnappings, tortures, and executions by insurgents on Iraqis as an excuse to blame the whole thing on the liberation, they distort the reality here in the United States.

How many Democrats are still using the phrases "high gas prices", "lack of jobs", and an war that they now publicly declare "unwinnable." Never mind the numerous letters from soldiers who want to go back and finish the job there because THEY see the good that's being done despite the violence that seeks to reach some November 7 crescendo.

The political pundits all tell us that Americans have grown weary of the bloodshed in Iraq and the loss of our troops sent to topple Saddam Hussein and help the Iraqis establish a working, secular democracy. They say the Democrat Party will win and, true to their promise, will begin to “redeploy” our troops from there and Afghanistan.

The Republicans and the Bush Administration urge us to stay the course in its efforts to transform the Middle East and defuse the Islamic threat to the United States and the West.

One thing Americans know for sure is that we are no longer safe from attack in our homeland. We learned that on 9-11, but that awful day recedes now in our collective memory. The experts tell us America will be attacked again.

So, on Election Day we must vote as if our lives depended on it, because they do.

The reason is almost too obvious, but it is human nature to deny it. The deliberate murder of millions of people in the name of Islam is not just hard to grasp, but too horrible to contemplate. Let it be said, however, Islam is in love with death. At the core of this warrior cult is the suicide bomber who takes his own life in order to kill others.

Just briefly consider Islam in the latter part of the last century and what it promises as this new one begins.

There probably will never be a full accounting for the millions of Iraqis murdered under the regime of Saddam Hussein, but in the course of the Iraq war against Iran it is estimated that more than a million died and the war against Kuwait cost thousands more. This year, by the end of May, the bodies of 6,000 people had filled Baghdad’s main mortuary as sectarian violence raged out of control. It continues unabated.
