11)  You can no longer tell anyone that you are concerned with human rights.

When you elected Obama you selected a man who has repeatedly voted in favor of full term abortions. Therefore you have elected a man who is willing to deny the most basic human right of Life to the most defenseless human being, a newborn infant. Obama had promised that if elected he would insure that the ban on full term abortions would be suspended.

I am not arguing a woman's right to do what she wants with her body. I am not discussing abortion in the usual manner in which it is carried out in the first few months. I am not debating whether human life begins at conception or with that first breath. I am talking about what Obama refers to as a "full term fetus" that has been separated from the mother's womb during an attempted abortion and survived but then is left to die. I am talking about a child that has been delivered into this world, alive. An infant, who has been separated from its mother, alive and thus eliminating any further threat to the mother's health. But because his/her delivery was accomplished during a failed attempt to abort that child's live, he/she is then executed. Yes executed, you can sugarcoat it all you want but that is what it comes down to. The mother has rights and abortion is legal in this country. But if that child has survived that abortion and is alive when separated from his/her mother than that child now has just as many rights as anyone else in that room.

Obama and his full term abortion advocates call this child a "full term fetus." When you and I were taken from our mothers and took that first breath we were called a baby, not a "full term fetus." There is no difference between you and I at birth from these infants who have survived an abortion. They too are babies or infants not a "full term fetus." That's just a term to dehumanize them and make it easier to let them die.

Well folks guess what? You have elected Obama and now he gets to keep that promise. Don't say you didn't know about this either because both his voting record on this issue and his promise on lifting this ban were well publicized. I don't care how you feel about abortion. Denying a child the right to life who has already survived an attempt to take his/her life through abortion only to purposely let that child die is infanticide.


12)  You may never again say that you support our military or express any concern over our national security.

This cannot be stressed strongly enough nor is it negotiable. You betrayed our sons and daughters in our Armed Forces when you voted for a man who has continually criticized our troops, their commanders, and their war on terror. Your new leader has lied openly about their conduct in fighting our wars and has refused to admit their successes. Four out of five current military personnel voted against Obama and you have now made him their Commander-In-Chief. He will now be the only President and CIC who would not have been given a security clearance before he held this office because of his past and present associations with anti-American individuals.

During his very brief tenure as a Senator he cast one of the few votes that he did manage to exercise not to fund our troops. In doing so he refused to supply them with the necessary means to fight and to protect themselves after they had already been sent off to war by the majority vote of his own party. He has promised to set a date to bring our troops home from Iraq even if their mission has not been completed. In doing so he has furthered endangered these men and women of our Armed Forces, and the people of Iraq, by giving aid and comfort to our enemies who now know that if they just hang on a little longer they will attain their murderous goals when our troops are prematurely withdrawn. In withdrawing our troops before Iraq is fully stabilized he will open up the very likely future possibility that we will once again have to send our sons and daughters into a war in Iraq, needlessly causing more death and destruction to both our troops and the Iraqi people, even though victory is now so close at hand. The Democratic Party is not the anti-war party it claims to be. They overwhelmingly voted with the Republicans to send our troops to war in Iraq only to then continuously undercut our efforts to attain victory. We are all anti-war, especially those of us who have been to war. In truth the Democratic Party is the anti-victory party.

In electing Obama you have given him the power to fulfill his pledge to cut our defenses, dismantle our defense systems and reduce our overall military strength and capabilities. Doing all of this during a time of worldwide terrorism, Iranian and North Korean nuclear threats, wide spread unrest and tribal war in Africa, a continued Chinese military buildup, renewed Russian aggressions and while conducting two foreign wars. We have seen this kind of military reduction happen before in the Carter and Clinton administrations and as a result in both instances we have paid dearly with the unnecessary bloodshed of both American soldiers and U.S. civilians.

When Obama starts cutting the defense budget the first ones who will feel the impact are the brave men and woman of our Armed Forces. This less than one percent of our population, who are already well underpaid for making their many sacrifices and risking their lives for our freedoms, will see their wages cut or at least frozen. Their benefits will be cut and in time their living conditions will become even less standard to that which is found in the private sector. As Obama stops all development on new weapons and defense systems our enemies will continue to develop theirs'. Thus taking away any advantages our military now maintains resulting in the undo cost of American lives when we are faced again with an armed conflict. In other words, what Obama saves in dollars now will be paid for in American blood later, read your history.

Today the United States Armed Forces are the finest military the world has ever seen. Yet Obama has promised to "rebuild our military from the ground up." Everyone knows that in order to "rebuild" something you must first tear down, or destroy, the existing. Why would anyone want to destroy what is already the best the world has ever seen? This promise was made to win the votes of those of you who wish to see America defeated. The only results of this rebuilding goal will be the weakening of our military, the endangerment of our citizens, the collapse of our national security and victory for our enemies. May God help us, as Obama is the most unpatriotic man ever to be elevated to our nation's highest office and the CIC of our Armed Forces, and you all made it happen.

Yet despite all of Obama's talk about cutting defensive spending and dismantling our military he swears that he will find Osama bin Laden. With fewer military resources I'm not sure how he plans on doing this or what he will do when he finds him? Since Obama is so keen on sitting down to talk with our enemies he may expect bin Laden to contact him for "a quiet brunch and a spot of tea." If Obama has that opportunity I am sure that his good friend Bill Ayers will want to tag along so that he can shake bin Laden's hand, and maybe get his autograph too! Obama and the Left have repeatedly condemned the Bush administration for not being able to find Osama bin Laden. In effect this is also just another jab at our military as well. It is not enough that since 9-11 bin Laden has been running for his life and as one of the richest men in the world all of his money still cannot buy him a simple weekend blast in Vegas without getting clipped, I don't mean at the roulette table either. The Left conveniently always forget how their boy Bill Clinton once had bin Laden in his sights but didn't pull the trigger, and that was before the tragedy of 9-11.  Maybe if the Left really understood what a big wide world it is that we live in they might realize just how hard it is to find someone in it. Has anybody seen Amelia lately?

The troops who fight for us today know the score far better than those of us at home. They have a saying, "The American military is at war, America is at the mall." On 9-11-2001 bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorists launched the initial blow of what was supposed to be a series of attacks on our homeland. The key words here are "a series of attacks." Osama bin Laden had chosen the battleground and it was to be our backyard. Since that time we have not had one single attack within our borders from these murderous scum. For seven years the liberal Left and their media lap dogs have continually criticized Bush and the Conservative Right for both the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout those seven years the Left has staunchly refused to give any credit to the Right or to the Bush administration for not allowing another terrorist attack within our borders. Apparently the Left must assume that the lack of any further attacks on the American homeland was because al Qaeda either can't afford the airfare or have all retired from the bombing business.

The Left has stated that Bush will go down in history as the worst President ever. Just the other day your gal Hillary stated, "Bush is the lamest lame duck President ever." How clever. But I say that future historians, free from the hatred of leftist propaganda, will be much more generous in their evaluation of President Bush. In what will be seen as a master military maneuver future historians will understand that the most important move in this war on terrorism by the Bush administration was switching the battleground from America to Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't know about the rest of you but I when I read about heroic Marine Corps' battles I prefer them to be in far off distant places named Iwo Jima, Hue and Fallujah, not Moline, Illinois. Instead of waiting for and watching our towns and cities being attacked, Bush moved the battle to countries that were under the control of terrorists and a ruthless dictator, forcing the terrorists to fight us on ground of our own choosing not theirs. It is an ancient military strategic maneuver as old as man yet the Left still cannot grasp the importance of this move.

I have said this before in previous blogs but I will stress it here again. In Vietnam the liberal Left was successful in forcing our government to end the war before victory was achieved. In that war our enemies did not follow our troops home. That will not be the case this time if our military is forced by Obama and his Democrats to withdraw from Iraq before they have accomplished their mission with Iraq a solvent country with the capability to defend itself. This time when our troops are withdrawn our enemies will follow them home to attack us where we live. By your vote for Obama and a Democratic controlled Congress who have vowed to end the war in Iraq now, no matter the consequences, you have allowed Obama the opportunity to give back to al Qaeda their choice of the battleground. America at the mall just may become the most dangerous place to be.
