Stealing yard signs and elections-two sides of the same coin? What about the War on Terror?

(Note to Tiffany re: comment on “More McCain yard signs down.” (Category: “Elections.”) I appreciate your empathy on the yard sign thefts. I am less comfortable with your description of John McCain as a “disgusting old man.” First, a general comment of my own about yard sign theft and other political crimes…
Oops! Lost another Bob Schaffer sign Sunday night. Schaffer is running against Boulder, Colorado Liberal Mark Udall. That makes three stolen Schaffer signs! I have two extras in the garage. I’ll head down to Schaffer’s Headquarters and pick up a few more. Can’t have too many Schaffer signs. (Saw a fox by the sign location last night. Maybe he or she took it.)
I believe that this Democrat yard sign theft of epidemic proportions is merely a symptom of a larger problem within the Party. David Horowitz, a former Communist and leader of the Anti-Vietnam War Movement, said of the Left, ”If you believe in a future that will redeem mankind, what lie will you not tell, what crime will you not commit to make the future happen?” This “Progressive” ideological hubris, this absolute certainly of moral superiority, this crusader mentality, this attempt to live out and exploit what Horowitz has called “the romance of the underdog,” are factors that I believe drive people of the Left to steal yard signs and attempt to steal elections. (Horowitz, David, Left Illusions, Spence Publishing Company, Dallas, TX, 2003, pages 356-360, 366.) Back to McCain and the Presidential Race!
John McCain was continually tortured for a year and a half in North Vietnam, because he would not accept an early release from his captors, while his fellow POWs remained in Communist hands. That makes him an American Hero by any standards. John McCain sounded the alarm on the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Crisis in 2005, while the Democrat Party defended the bad lending practices that ultimately drove both organizations into the ground.
I don’t agree with McCain on every policy, but his experience and fortitude in the struggle against Islamofascist Terror and his relatively strong support of the Second Amendment make him my choice. It is foolish for us to allow transient economic problems to obscure the fact that we are in a struggle to the death with a violent terrorist element that wishes and plans for our destruction. (I’m not talking about the Left-Wing of the Democrat Party.)
Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska. She has more executive experience than the whole Obama/Biden ticket. She cut government expenses in Alaska. I think she believes “jobs” is a four-letter word. Obama’s choice for VP seems to think that ”jobs” has only three letters. Unlike some of the terms you used in your comment, Tiffany, ”jobs” is a four letter word with a good connotation.
Barack H. Obama is the junior senator from Illinois. He is the least experienced presidential candidate for at least a generation. He comes out of what is arguably the most corrupt Democrat political machine in the country. He has blatantly misrepresented his position on the Second Amendment and tried to suppress the First Amendment rights of people who disagree with him. He wants to end the use of secret ballots in union elections. Quite frankly, his anti-democratic tendencies scare me.
Obama has continually associated with Communists, including: Frank Davis in Hawaii. and William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn in Chicago. He has continuously been involved with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now(ACORN), which is at least in part responsible for the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Crisis, and which has a long-time record of voter fraud.
Obama, with only four years in the Senate, has taken more money from Fannie and Freddie than long-time Senator Ted Kennedy. Only Senator Dodd got more contributions for his support of Fan and Fred’s failed practices than your candidate, Tiffany.
Obama wants to raise taxes for everybody who pays taxes, not just the wealthy. If he gets elected and repeals the Bush tax cuts, everybody’s taxes go up. If he taxes corporations at a higher rate, the companies will simply raise their prices, passing on the expense to people who use their goods and services. You and me! Obama wants to increase taxes on retirement accounts (capital gains tax.) If you plan to save any money and to retire some day, Obama plans to tax you!
Another bad thing that will happen, if Senator Obama is elected President, is that some companies will move overseas to other countries where wages and taxes are lower. That will mean fewer jobs in the United States. Obama’s tax plans would be like pouring gasoline on a house fire.
Obama wants to give drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. Why? I don’t know. Wait! Here’s an idea! The issuance of licenses to illegals increases opportunities for voter fraud. ACORN comes to mind again.
Finally, I believe Obama is wrong on the War on Terror. In 1975, when the American Left forced the abandonment of Southeast Asia to the Communists, about two and a half million people were murdered. The North Vietnamese Army, the Khmer Rouge, the Pathet Lao, and the Red Chinese and Soviets who supported them didn’t follow us home. If we abandon the Middle East to radical terrorists, who have already killed about 3,000 U.S. Citizens in attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., not only will untold thousands more die outside this country; we will face the prospect of chemical and nuclear attacks in our own cities.
In an incident that received little attention in the Mainstream Media, because it didn’t fit the party-line “narrative” of the Left in the War on Terror, Islamofascist operatives tried to launch a chemical attack on Amman, Jordan. The attack, which could have killed thousands, was thwarted. Some of the would-be perpetrators confessed to being trained and supervised by Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi, an al Qaida terrorist with ties to Iraq.
Former Iraqi Air Force General Georges Sada said he believes that the chemicals for the weapons in the planned bombing were sent from Saddam Hussein in Iraq to Syria, during the months before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. General Sada is the author of the book, Saddam’s Secrets, published by Thomas Nelson, 2006.
Junior Senator Obama opposed and opposes the War on Terror. I believe he is incredibly naive, which is not surprising, given his complete lack of foreign policy experience. As Hillary Rodham Clinton astutely said, the Oval Office is not a place where we can afford to train on the job.
Tiffany, I don’t have time to comment in detail on your “use” of the English Language, but please lose the profanity and proofread your comments, before you send them. Everyone makes errors, but punctuation and capitalization are our friends. We shouldn’t abuse them.
