I'm nervous.
Are you?
Tomorrow, we could have a president-elect who is a man with very bad character traits and a record of working with the enemies of our country.
There is no way to sugar-coat it.
For me personally, this has been the most wrenching presidential election in my lifetime.
I felt very strongly that Al Gore would be a political disaster for America. The administration in which he served as second banana for eight years had targeted me personally for political dirty tricks. It had hurt this country badly by covering up major Islamic terrorist attacks and mischaracterizing them as "accidents" or the work of others. It was an administration marked by lies, deceit, fraud and mysterious deaths.
Yet, despite all that, I still could not bring myself to endorse George W. Bush for president. I had severe misgivings about him – particularly with regard to his domestic agenda and his commitment to the Constitution.
Those misgivings have only been confirmed after four years.
Yet, the only alternative we have to a second term of Bush – like it or not – is John Kerry.
And, predictably, following the national security disasters of eight years of Bill Clinton, we now find ourselves in a global conflict with Islamic terrorism. We were attacked Sept. 11, 2001, in a way that could no longer be attributed to others nor dismissed as an accident. We were attacked massively – the worst attack ever on American soil.
Therefore, I believe it is a moral imperative that we re-elect George W. Bush today.
Admittedly, this is a vote I cast defensively – to protect myself, my family and my country from an enemy of the United States. I refer not only to Osama bin Laden and the evil ideology he represents. I refer, too, to John Kerry.
Some are too young to understand why I use such harsh rhetoric about Kerry. Some are too forgetful. Some never understood what John Kerry represented in the first place and still do not understand what he represents today.
He is a traitor.
I refer not to his scandalous activities while serving in Vietnam – though they are shameful. I refer to what he did when he returned.
There is no longer any doubt about what he did.
He lied about U.S. policy in Vietnam. He lied about the actions of our troops while they continued to fight for the freedom of the Vietnamese people and while many of our brave soldiers were still being held in prison camps. He met at least twice with the enemy in Paris. He took political direction from that enemy – representatives of the communist totalitarian government in Hanoi.
He gave aid and comfort to those enemies. He did their bidding here in the United States. And, tragically, he built a political career on that subversion.
There are only a couple words in the English language that describe that kind of activity – treason, sedition, treachery.
He is unfit to command. He is unfit to lead. He is unfit to serve in the White House. He is unfit even to run for the presidency. He is unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate.
However, because of the nature of politics in America, he continues to be seated in the Congress. He continues to run for the presidency. And today he could be elected to the highest office in the land.
We cannot allow that to happen.
Vote for George W. Bush today and defend America – not just from the enemies without, but, more importantly, from the enemies within.
While Clinton was distasteful to die-hard conservatives and others with a sense of moral decency, he was very likable and connected with "the working man". Kerry does not have that quality. Bush does.
Most of us are realists and know the only 100% pure President would get maybe 10% of the US Vote.
If Bush loses Joseph Farah is one of the ones I will blame !
I completely agree with your assesment of the differences between Clinton and Kerry. While I don't think Kerry connects with many, he appears to have something that a certain type of thinkers (or non-thinkers) like. But what that something is I have no idea.
shall we vote? ;-)
We must defend our country and defeat Kerry.
You had me scratching my head for a sec..., then I laughed.
I was first attracted to Farah back in the 1970's when I read an article of her's on wordnetdaily.com and then she hit it big on the show about that guy named Charles and those other chicks that were cops. But, yes, yes, the poster made Farah a household name and solidified her position on one of the best writers at World Net Daily.
As I recall, that poster had a few good points.
"As I recall, that poster had a few good points."
For some reason, that poster always made me think of those jumbo pencils we used in the first grade...

I agree with what you say.
But look at it this way, Clinton showed his true colors during Pardongate. The man was so very corrupt. We survived as a society eight long years of Clinton. We could also survive 4 years of Kerry, especially with a Republican House and Senate. I pray that doesn't happen. I will vote tomorrow for Bush. I went to the local Republican County headquarters the weekend before last to help out.
This country will survive. It is important to rally the voters, but we will survive no matter what happens.
Worth repeating...
We'll definitely survive, but, IMO, the cost of a Kerry win will be more than the toll Clinton had on the nation. But I think Bush will win, anyway.
Excellent commentary.
He said the same thing six DAYS ago.
To hell with him.
