Talking Versus Walking

I don't know about you but I have a bit of a hard time seeing Obama beside McCain at Ground Zero yesterday. Not that I don't think Mr. Obama is a good American and means well (although I don't agree with him). But here is a Junior Senator serving his first term and spending half of it running for Commander-In-Chief and having never served in the military. Who won't put his hand over his heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance and won't wear a flag pin on his lapel. And he's telling me how much he loves America.

On the other hand, here is Senator McCain who has served in the Senate for quite awhile. But who, also, endured imprisonment and torture because of his love for this country. Who has taken a lot of heat for doing what he thought was right (even if, at times, I don't agree) but is willing to pay and has paid the price.

The Bible says, "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." I John 3:18.

That' s John McCain as far as his service to this great country is concerned. Tested, tried, proven and still standing. That is the man who deserves to be and should be America's next Commander-In-Chief. So place a vote for a strong America and for a strong defense for America and for a leader proven and strong enough to stand. Between the two, there is no choice!

If you want a weak America vote Obama. If you want a strong America where your freedoms and liberties will be protected vote McCain.

"And the Star-Spangled Banner, oh long may she wave o'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!"

Pitbull Palin

I don't normally follow these things as closely as I should but how about Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention! I liked the joke about the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull: lipstick. Or maybe it wasn't a joke. Well, maybe we should call her Pit bull Palin. She didn't pull any punches. Though I am waiting to see how these ethics investigations play out before I get too excited. It would be nice if the media would treat her as fairly as they treat the other candidates, especially the liberals. But I am sure it won't happen. That's okay though because then, when they win, the media can't say they helped them win. But I realize, too, that the media certainly has its role in making or breaking a candidate. I wonder how many governors drive themselves to work and have gotten rid of the governor's plane. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of months. Remember, even if you don't totally agree with the candidates, get out and Vote, Vote, Vote! Oh, we only get one vote don't we? Well, you get the idea.
