McCain and Obama Warmongers

http://beta.news.yahoo.com/mccain-rips-republican-candidates-isolationism-165050541.html

I thought I would never be writing this about John Mc Cain, but it is time for him to retire. He is a war hero, Yes. He suffered terribly under the Viet Cong. Yes. He has served in the Senate honorably for many terms. Yes. But this victim of war and its terror and its horror now promotes war. He is a loud shouting voice in favor of bombing Libya. He advocates the continued illegal aggression against the Libyan people by the United nations and North Atlantic treaty Alliance, NATO. He is a Republican who is the mouth piece in the US Senate for the terrorist methods of the Obama Administration as it uses drones, bombs, missiles, and secret CIA agents against the legal government of Libya. Now Mc Cain has totally turned irrational as he attacks his own Republican party as being isolationist. Please note that Senator Mc Cain has ample opportunity to daily use the private meetings and the closed-door meetings of the Senate in order to express personally, officially and forcefully to his colleague his views, but instead, he uses the public broadcast system, the leftist media outlets and the public Senate floor in order to castigate those of his party who do not agree with him. Like so many these days, he is a “John Mc Cain” Republican in the same ilk as a “Scott Brown” and “Olympia Snow” Republican, which means that they stand for what they themselves believe and that the electorate has no idea how they will vote because once elected these kind of “John Mc Cain” Republicans do exactly as they please and the citizens who elected them be damned. At least Michelle Bachmann is openly a “Tea Party” Republican and Paul Ryan is a “on the table for all to see” fiscally conservative Republican. President Obama campaigned and was elected as a “new” Democrat but he is increasingly an “old” Democrat who tells the citizens a vague message of “Hope and Change” and when elected he does what ever he pleases including an ill thought out “surge” in Afghanistan and an illegal war of aggression against Libya. Sadly, McCain has six years, but if he does not turn back to his basic conservative base, he should be primaried and replaced by a more peace-loving Republican. As for Obama, his term is up and he should be a one term President. We have done the “historic” bit for him and now he needs to be retired before he does any more damage to the US Economy and world standing.

Paul Ryan for President -But.

From the very first day I encountered Congressman Paul Ryan on TV I thought that he was definitely Presidential material. Ever since, my estimation has grown stronger and deeper. Representative Ryan is a leader that America needs. I have written extensively in the previous posts to this article, so I will not repeat the reasons for my wholehearted endorsement. However, I will add a warning. Mr. Paul Ryan is not seeking the presidency and as the article cited stated, in my opinion, he will have to be dragged by an insistent public into the contest for President. Why? Because Congressman Ryan is a breed of steadfast Americans who regards public office as a privilege. He serves at the will of the voters of his district and his loyalty to them and his deep respect for them as fellow citizens has sent him back to Congress term after term. Yes, there are many congressman who are good but I believe that Representative Ryan has shown himself to be a notch above. How? Firstly, he is willing to listen to the needs, opinions and political philosophy of his constituents. He may be a Republican but he considers himself a Congressman. (Not the same as a Scott Brown Republican who puts Scott Brown in front of Republican. Although I DO believe that Senator Brown is a good man and is representing Massachusetts very well.) Paul Ryan does not hedge on his political philosophy, his world view, his creeds or his values. He holds them dear and fast. But he holds them personally as the North Star navigating his life. He may try to present his view to others but in no way does Paul Ryan believe that his way is the only way. (Unlike Obama who thinks of his political philosophy and methods of governing as the only TRUE way. Which Obama believes is apparent to all who are of the truth!!) The rest of us are still clinging to our guns and our religion and believing in our police who act foolishly when they try to defend a citizen.

There is a lot more I will be saying in the coming months. However, in the title I intentionally placed the word “but”. I did that because there is no way that a Congressman who is not seeking the Presidency for his own glory can effectively compete against a glory seeking incumbent President unless we who support Paul are there for him every painful inch of the way. Obama says that he can raise one billion dollars (an obscene figure) to keep himself in the oval office. Can we promise to Paul Ryan that we will do everything, and that includes our own money, to help him meet that challenge? Obama has already shown how he can use tax payer dollars to fly himself around on Air Force One so he can campaign and raise money. He was in NJ five times last year and this year twice in NYC. Can we give Paul Ryan the logistical support he needs? By logistical support I primarily refer to getting out the crowds to see him, “press the flesh” and listen to his message. Obama does not need to pay for his daily exposure on TV. All he needs to do is talk and he will have five minutes on every news program several times a day, plus front page photos of himself in every national and local newspaper plus extensive Internet blogging. How are we going to help Congressman Ryan fight against that kind of automatic publicity? Will even Fox new and the venerable Mr. Bill O Reilly promise that every minute given to Obama’s publicity will be equalled with coverage of Paul Ryan’s speech or stop over in (let’s say) Great Falls?

Paul Ryan is a man for American. He loves America and he respects its people. He will not bow to Saudi Kings and Japanese Emperors, (not matter what the ettique is). He will act in the office of President with deep American values, a strong work ethic, a driving effort to set us on a financial foundation that will guarantee for current and for future seniors that the promise of a socially secure American will not be spent away during his Presidency. But will he let us elect him? That’s a big question.

About Senator Scott Brown

Sad story and I am sorry for him and now that (for whatever reason) he has gone public, I am sorry for his family. Look, I am a Republican and I just don’t see what his abuse has to do with anything or anyone, other than himself. Now, let me say. I was not abused. But I was disciplined. I was not abused but I witnessed domestic fighting and hollering and even physical pushing and knocking around. I was not abused but I witnessed the use of the strap and it was not pretty. I was not abused but I saw the destructive efforts of alcohol. So I must ask the question, why does someone go public with their very sad and horrific story of abuse? I really am confused. Look, we know it happens. We know it is bad. We have plenty of educational material and social service, religious and governmental agencies to address it. And let me be very clear, I do not believe it should ever be in the closet. None the less, what’s the point for Senator Scott Brown to make these revelations, now? I don’t understand. It seemed like he had handled it all. It seemed like he was a well adjusted individual who had coped with the problems of his life, come out on top and moved on. Now we see it differently. And Yes, I am sorry for him and as I said, for his family. But what’s the point? Are we supposed to take his example as our example and all rush out and confess and lament about all of the various forms of difficulty we survived as children. Hell, I could do that. But I am not a Senator and I just don’t see the point. I mean there is a trace of self centeredness in public officials revelations of their childhood trauma. So, what? I really don’t know what to make of this?! I am sorry for him, but although some would say he was courageous to “out” this private and personal information, I do not call that courage. Yes, if he privately told his wife. And Yes, if he prepared and warned his children. But to go to the public media and tell your story. What’s the point?
