Thank you for posting this. This is one reason why I will vote for the constitution party. I cannot support the republican party any more.
Call it what you want to but the republican party is not doing anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Native born Americans are ceasing to grow their numbers. Third world immigrants are failing to assimilate.
Our public education system is a failure. We are below those of other developed nations.
The US is outsourcing white collar jobs to foreign nations.
Our "meals on wheels" armed services are in countless countries around the world instead of protecting our borders.
The US budget deficit is above 4 percent of GDP.
Our trade deficit is 6 percent of GDP.
The dolloar has lost a third of its value against the Euro.
One sixth of all mfg. jobs are gone.
The government has balloned to one fifth of our economy.
We started a war based on lies which has now fomented world wide hatred around the world. It is right to fight terrorism but let us hit the correct targets, ie Saudi Arabia. Afterall weren't 18 of the 19 hijackers Saudis?
We blindly back Israel's illegal settlements and "Berlin Wall". Despite what people are saying the reason why the Arab world hates us is because of our unconditional backing of what Israel does, right or wrong.
I'll stop here but the list could go on.

I agree with most of what you stated. As far as the wars go, we just lost another 8 men in Iraq today. We are not fighting wars like we use to.

Being compassionate at the risk of more American lives is not acceptable.

Doc, that is a great post. I agree with every word you said. Too bad the message doesn't ever get to the top guys. They are just determined to make us into a third world, and make ALL of us equally poor.

I'll be voting Constition party if they are allowed on the ballot.

Just wanted to make clear that I'm not encouraging people to vote for the Constitution Party (unless they live in a state totally locked up by the Democrats, in which case they should). The purpose was to illustrate how far off track the Republican leadership has strayed from traditional principles. Despite was Azhenfud said in post #92 (or building on it), the Supreme Court is made up of aged mortals whose replacements will determine its direction for the next generation, and the chances are great that whoever is President during the next few years (the neocon or the Leftist traitor) will bully-pulpit their replacements. One Ginsburg is already one too many.

I agreed with your well-stated post up to a point:

We started a war based on lies which has now fomented world wide hatred around the world. It is right to fight terrorism but let us hit the correct targets, ie Saudi Arabia.

I don't see lies so much as jumping in on shoddy information. Pop's failure to get the job done seems to have gnawed the son's guts for years. It was a job that needed finishing and it worked out brilliantly as a flytrap for Islamist fanatics better off in "paradise". Admit it - the world hates us anyway so we might as well add "winning our military objectives" to their list of grievances. The Arab world will always hate us as long as they are under the thrall of Islam and we are not under the "Caliphate".

Yes, the Saudis need to go down hard. Perhaps their own Frankenstein's monster of Wahhabism will accomplish that.

If it weren't for the Israelis WE would be the primary focus of jihad. Beyond that strategic usefulness, my Protestant side says we have an obligation to see that His chosen people continue surviving. We came close to failing that during a little dust-up about 60 years back. As they say - Never Again.

The Israeli wall is common sense self defense. What would you propose we should do if the Mexicans randomly blew themselves up taking innocent citizens out in the process? The invasion alone is enough reason for us to put a better barrier system in place.

Did you know that the corrupt hypocrisy in the UN is proposing (perhaps already building) an extensive wall through Eastern Europe for "economic stability" while denouncing Israel's? This is the organization that the Democrats want us to defer to in all things.
