Well, we lived through Jimmy Carter. (Not that I'd want to go through THAT again!)

I came across this blog tonight. I liked it:

I am an American before I am a conservative February 18th, 2008 By John F. Allen

I am an American conservative not a conservative American. To me they are two very different things. I recognize the extreme danger America would face from a Democrat president.

There is no chance I would ever vote for a Democrat or stay home. America is too important to me. I am sick of people playing politics with the future of my country.

Given the choice between the conservative movement and my country, I will vote for the safety of America in a heartbeat. I will never vote to teach the country a “lesson” with a Democrat president. I don’t play with my family’s safety. The election of either fallen away Muslim or a woman will infuriate our Islamist enemies.

The “experts” playing with this fire can make believe this won’t be the case, but they are wrong.. But we should not allow them pick our president you say. I agree.

The Democrats are for higher taxes, open borders and Ruth Ginsbergs. McCain may/may not give us higher taxes, he may be persuaded to close the borders. We will have a better chance of getting a Roberts not a Ginsberg from McCain.

The real issue is national security. There is no comparing a Democrat Commander in Chief with McCain in that position. With Iraq is becoming a winning situation, why are so many conservatives willingly joining liberals in making believe the War on Terror is over and we can start spending the “peace dividend?”

I’m 100% pro life. McCain is about 95% pro life. Either Democrat is zero pro life and in fact Obama supported a bill to euthanize inconvenient born babies.

We won’t get a truly conservative president this time. We can always rebuild the conservative movement during and after McCain, but we can never rebuild America after Democrats destroy our America.

“The real issue is national security. There is no comparing a Democrat Commander in Chief with McCain in that position.

Which is more important, the security of the United States or the security of an Iran-friendly Muslim regime created by the State Department? What defines the “war on terror” with you? Iraq or the Saudi-Iran axis of evil?

McCain wants terrorists tried in our courts and wants the border left open. He’s no different than the rest of them.

“I’m 100% pro life. McCain is about 95% pro life. Either Democrat is zero pro life and in fact Obama supported a bill to euthanize inconvenient born babies.”

McCain is pro-Roe v Wade.

“We won’t get a truly conservative president this time. We can always rebuild the conservative movement during and after McCain, but we can never rebuild America after Democrats destroy our America.”

Not without a party. A McCain victory would destroy that.

It’s nice to know that there are a few others who can call upon reason when considering this election and the future of our nation. Thanks for your comments.
