I am sorry if my political posts offend any of my FB friends and others. If you want, unfriend me. Or do not read my blog. I will still like you personally even if I do not agree with your politics. You have the right to your opinions and I have the right to mine.

I believe we are at a very critical time in our nation's history. We are at a crossroads and stand to lose much of what has made us a world leader and great country. Not that the country is perfect but it has always been the best the world has known. I think the time has come for me to speak out a bit more about the damage that has been done by this President. I fear for the future of the country if we do not get rid of Obama and his cohorts. Not that I think Romney is a great choice, but he is a far cry better than Obama (which is not saying much) and would be a step closer to bringing us back to where we should be as a country, and farther from the socialist nanny state Obama is trying to create. On the other hand, I do not want the government to be run by far right religious zealots who I think are as screwy as left wing liberals. I still want to mainly use this blog and FB for other, non-political reasons but no longer care about being PC (some would argue I have never been PC). If I want to say how I feel, I will. I will try to refrain from doing so on your blog or FB wall but not mine. I also will exercise my right to eliminate anything you say that I might not want to see on my blog or FB wall. You, I assume will do the same with my posts you do not like.

I created this blog as a place to put down my thoughts on many things.  And so, this morning I am thinking about many things,such as Libya, the economy, etc..  You know, how Obama and the Dems have screwed things up and want to screw things up even more.   The first thing I thought about was the liberal move to deprive the military of an early vote and/or absentee voting.  What kind of people would do this?  Ungrateful, selfish bastards is who.   If  anyone should have the right to vote absentee or early, it is our military members.  They alone have earned that right.  We all have the right to select our form of government and elect our representatives.  That is a natural right.  But the military have earned the right and privilege to absentee and early voting above any other people.  This effort to eliminate their early vote was a ploy by the left who know the majority of military members are conservatives.  Just like during the Gore-Bush election, they claimed absentee ballots from military members aboard military ships could not count because they lacked a zipcode.  Never mind those ballots were from the state in which the military member was registered so could easily be counted.   This also shows just how little esteem the left really has for the very people who protect their rights to be such assholes.  And probably many of them would never be willing to serve in the military themselves. 


My second beef today is with Obamacare.  This is also known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  There is a reason most people do not know it by the latter title.  That is because it neither protects patients and is anything but affordable or caring.  The Government Accounting Office even says it will drain Medicare and do away with Tri Care, which is the best coverage the military has ever had.  This will be done over time and options seniors and the military now have about their health care will be eliminated as we move to a one-size-fits none type of health care system. If you think defense is costly, just wait. This will be a ball breaker. Not to mention it probably is unconstitutional.  But then, Obama is well practiced at circumventing the Constitution. 

My biggest irritation today concerns Libya again.  Copies of communications between Ambassador Chris Stevens and the State Department have been disclosed (http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/10/19/documents-newly-released-information-reveals-ambassador-stevens-worried-about-security-threats-in-libya-prior-to-terror-attack/).  In these the late Ambassador talks about the organized attacks on Western targets in Libya, including an attempted bombing of the embassy.  He states the need for more security.  Repeatedly.  Even on the day he died he was still laying out the situation in clear terms to the State Department.  These communications, along with intelligence on the ground in Libya, along with the coming of the 9/11/2001 anniversary, should have warranted an effort to beef up the protection of our embassy personnel all over the world, not just in Benghazi.  Anyone with common sense would have known what  could and did happen at the embassy in Libya on 9/11/2012. But our State Dept., under the leadership of Hilary Clinton, failed to act.  And then, after the death of four Americans in Libya, she and our dearly beloved President, played the blame shifting game for days on end, blaming some guy who produced some lame video.  (The guy obviously was an idiot but not responsible for the planned attack on the embassy.)  Once again, we heard Obama laying the blame for a terrorist attack on the US, reminiscent of his apology tour of Europe early in his administration.  I am sure that after the public airing of the communications sent by Stevens, the administration will come up with another scape goat.  That is the one thing they are good at---not accepting responsibility.   If indeed, neither Obama nor Clinton knew about the situation in Libya before the attack, then they are at the very least, totally incompetent. It is Obama's responsibility to know and Clinton's responsibility to know and to keep the President informed.  Any embassy can come under attack and if attacked by enough terrorists, there would likely be injury and/or death.   But to have all the clear signs that an attack is likely and to fail to act to prevent it is gross negligence.  I have absolutely no confidence in Obama as far as our security is concerned.  He takes credit for finding Osama Bin Laden, but indeed, Bin Laden was found due to  efforts by our military and intelligence that were put into place by George Bush.  Of course, Obama had to approve the mission.  What President would not?  Well, maybe Bill Clinton. 

 These things, along with the Fast and Furious cover up, the pouring of taxpayer money into failing green companies(http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2012/10/updated-list-of-obamas-green-energy-failures-36-of-them-2506484.html ), the Acorn scandal, the unemployment rate, the pouring of money into other failing industries and the unions, the state of the economy (especially our debt to China), his policies on illegal immigration (including the lie he told about AZ law during the debate), are just a few of the reasons to dump the incompetent and dangerous Obama.
