Look for intelligence first.
Careful of those associated to groups, look for independents or moderates.
To build a good staff of advisors, pick 3...2 subordinates, one liberal, one conservative and a moderate open mind above the two.
Investigate backgrounds.
Do not surround yourself with too many of any one group. This leads to "group think" and leaves the voice of reason unheard.
Consider UNations opinions, for they represent the world, and as such what is best or the world, is best for everyone.
Careful not to look to liberal. You want a second term in office. If you take decisive action, with good delivery of "why". Then you present your case to the American people clearly and can easily get public support.
Remember that groups that support growth, also support expansionism. Last I checked there was no new places to go, and in the end someone will suffer.
As for special positions like military buiness etc...experience is key. Do not take on people who are appointees, or place holders. Look for people who worked from the ground up and understand the entire process. Education is important but not as important as experience. Education does not replace experience, it is only additional experience.
Take your time. No job done well is done in a rush. You can rush after you have learned to do the job.
Wes the Anti-Semite ?
by Wes Hardy
Today I want to discuss a very controversial issue. Anti-semitism.
Okay what the hell is a semite ? Thats kinda hard to figure out. You can go read about it all over the place, but still not get a clear answer. Basically it is a tribe of people who interbreed. No not incest father daughter stuff, more like cousins more or less. It could also be based on belief, like a Christian only marrying a Christian, or Jews only marry Jews, or Muslims etc etc.
Okay so we basically understand what the term semite means. I see nothing wrong with it. It looks to me kinda like certain dogs mate better with other dogs of the same type, to make a pure breed, instead of mutts if crossbreeding. So does everyone understand ? Not calling anyone a dog, Im talking in general terms so everyone knows through example what Im discussing..... quick getting your panties in a wad.
Okay, so as you can see, Im not an anti-semite up to this point.
Here is where I cross that line. I got my little family over here that has remained the same size for many generations. My neighbors keep banging out babies like bunny rabbits...bang bang bang, they are all over the place. Pretty soon their yard is not big enough to hold them all. They start coming over to my yard. All day long I got all these people in my yard, who I like, but wish they would really leave, cause I like my peace and quiet sometimes.
One day they decide to take a vote, and they vote me off my land. Now Im a bit ticked off. Did everyone get the point ? It cant be to complicated for you to understand. So let me take you a little further to real world events.
Egypt overrun by Muslims. Africa being overrun by Muslims. Palestine overrun by Jews. Germany pre-WWII, Hitler feared being overrun by Jews. North America Indians overrun by European whites. Catholic Mexicans over-running the United States. Chinese taking Tibet. Christians taking over the United States. Athiest taking over the United States. Conservatives taking over the South. Liberals taking over the West and East. Blacks taking over poorer parts of town. Everyone taking over the forest. The examples are plentiful and various.
So do you see the trend, of what overpopulating truly is yet ? It is an act of aggression. Maybe not on purpose, but definitely a tactic that causes conflict as the original land they occupy can no longer withstand the growing numbers, and expansion becomes necessary. Resources for self survival from other lands becomes a necessity, and those who try and protect those resources from invaders, become enemies and are eliminated.
So does this make me an anti-semite? Apparantly it does when semitism is used as a form of growth and aggresion. Why would Jews continue not using birth control, and the Palestinians also. Why ? Troops, Iran sais about the Israeli's. Why would a woman living on the border of Israel-Palestine have ten children there, casualties for martyrdom? This is evil stuff folks, and real.
I believe in balance and self control of populations through education, religion, and government world wide.
The past 10,000 years has been the growing stages of Humans as a species. We are slow to learn from our mistakes, but learn we must, as we have entered the nuclear age.
This world needs stability, and cooperation. Not war, and famine.
So in answer to the question, I guess Im only anti-semitic (racist or anti-whatever) if the policies or beliefs are for growth and takeover. Im really, to make it clear, ANTI-OVERPOPULATIONIST.
I need a better word than that....anti-cancer, nah. Regional tribes -nah. Pro-Heaven-thats a little better. Those of mix race, who can understand more than one or two arguments, could be the philosopher kings of Plato's Republic or New World Order, a world of tribes of various types. Seperated by natural barriers that are respected, by each tribe on either side. Monitored by a sophisticated World Order (United Nations) based on science and measurement of territorial impact. A desert would not hold too many people compared to a forest. I hope you see what Im arriving at.
That ladies and gentlemen is the Dream I Had...social balance, equality, freedom, lasting peace and Heaven on Earth. Where individuality and community meet in a balance. You must reborn to see Heaven, you must make mistakes to realize what is right and wrong.
If I was king, which is not something I want......some people would not like me, and some would love me forever. Im losing patience waiting for Heaven to arrive.
It is time for the new Evolution Revolution in the thinking of God. It is time to recognize God's creations and respect them for what they are.
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matthew 19:14).
Jesus gave a similar teaching to Nicodemus, a respected religious leader of his day. Jesus told him, "'I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again'" (John 3:3).
"'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven'" (Matthew 18:3).
The diciples asked Jesus how they would know the end was coming, "And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."(Matthew 24:4-28)
Gospel of the kingdom ?? Possibly a mixture of all religions into one. Many think it is the competition and growth of only one religion, for "the one who endures to the end will be saved". Only one religion continues where all others fail, naturalist belief. Even when the works of "pagans" or nature based religions are destroyed, a new movement of natural religions re-emerges. They were the first and will be the last. A circle in time.
The End will come ? This is roughly believed as the end of days, time, or human existense. It does not say that, those are interpretations or opinions. The End could be the End of the Devil's reign upon the Earth. The end of Vices control. The end of sin ? Quit being apocolyptic, and look for hope people. Where is your faith in God ?? Faith in a better world ? Jesus said "All these are but the beginning of birth pains".
I hope you enjoyed this enlightenment
I hope it opened your eyes and mind

I find it funny that the Republicans are complaining about the amount of money Democratic party has raised and spent to win this year.
Maybe they are finally feeling how a middle class and poor feel everyday. That they cant do what they want, cause they are broke.
Sorry McCain, welcome back to the real world.
Barack needs to remind everyone that after the election we will still be in a war on terrorism. That the commitment the American people made to fight extremism is still going forward. That the people of Iraq will not suffer at the hands of an unbalanced civil war in Iraq. That Egytian and Iraq Christians will not be leaving, and will receive the backup and support of the American people. That threats and violence will result in action from the US.
Also he needs to send a warning to governments that support extremism, expansionism, and terrorism, that they will be held accountable, and will face American troops if need be. That Obama as president will not be Mr. nice guy. That he is fair but when those suffering require help, and those who are in controlof the situation dont come to the table, they become the enemy.
America's new role is to help those who need help against aggresive forces, to help those families suffering from oppression, and return peace and order to daily lives.
The same reasoning that Americans were deployed into Europe during WWII. To help those who are unable to help themselves in the face of naked aggression.
The main focus of Peace should be on Israel-Palestine permanent borders. A independent city state for Jerusalem, and seperation of Palestinians and Israeli's intermixed, until each recognizes the others right to exist.
The focus is to make Israel a permanent nation, to fight against Muslim extremism from within the Muslim community and from without when they will not conform to humane reasoning. The same can be said for Israeli aggression, and the thoughts of Greater Israel, and destruction of the Muslim temple on the Rock.
This is the last chance offer.....those who dont wish for peace.....who cannot understand religous tolerance.....are extremist.
Extremism leads to terrorism...and I hate to say it but in America there is a form of extremism on the rise that must be quelled. A form of religion that claims moral superiority over all other religions. There is also a rising philosophy that is actually higher, based on a worldly view of cooperation. It is environmentalism based on balance and long term survival of human life on Earth. It is often called pagan, slurred mostly, but the Chrsitian church absorbed all its people, and now does not recognize its responsibility to be moral to the Earth. It inherited that responcibility though, by destroying paganism.
42How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
We must combat terrorism from within it's own community, just like we had to fight extremism in ours.
We must focus harder on the goal of America.
I dont know how many here have ever pictured a better world, but it has to include a balanced population, able to co-exist over the long term.
World domination, well that mentality should be old and gone by now. World cooperation is the new key phrase. We cannot compete ourselves into oblivion.
Competition has its place to improve each opponent, but the opponents are not true opponents, they are more brothers, than enemies.
This party would not have a lead right now if they had not swung into moderate ground. Moderate is the new face of democrats, and should be the example that carries us into many years of progress.
For instance, abortion laws with exceptions is understandable, but the focus on this single issue is multi layered. Middle age teens have sex. So preventing pregnancy is the best route to prevent abortions, that is through birth control and moral based abstinance.
If democrats were to get a full blown non-filibuster house-senate-presidency, the danger of bad laws is real. We must remember to also consider the Right arguments, at least for Devil's advocacy.
Liberalism will give the entire power-ride a short 4 year journey, so we must use "moderate" views and stick to them.
If the Democrats cannot control far left arguments and go too far left, then the right will be back, and eventually a moderate party will emerge, killing both Dems and Republicans.
Lets get some good science and take some risk, we need progress and intelligence working for us, before its working against us.
And get out the scissors and cut out that Bush pro-evangelical crap he worked 8 years destroying the constitution with.
I love Colin Powell. He scares me as a man who means business, that makes him perfect for military, hes smart, and he has real honor, to all his men. Hes a real leader. Bush put him in front of the UN and made him look like an idiot with that false information. He knew it too. It was written on his face he didnt believe a word of it. Its no surprise he didnt return to help Bush after that. It made him smarter and stronger and more likely to not let bullshit lies control his actions. We need a man who will speak up when he should. He's also practical.
Of course if Israel was attacked by Iran, the United States would commit troops. They are an ally.
Now more specific. If Israel attacked Iran, then thats a different story. If Iran responded against an Israeli attack, then who can blame them. Point being we do not support aggression, ambition, or oppression. We dont support refugee camps either, we want solutions to the crisis.
Point being we need a premanent border for Israel, pressure on Israel to do so, with Jerusalem being independent neutral ground for Islam Christianity and Judaism.
You could rock this entire campaign by not answering a simple question like that......
Now get your answers straight. Dont avoid questions. Answer them correctly.
If your an advisor to Obama, god help us.
When the first answer to the first question was the same thing you said in the first debate, which was the same thing we all have alerady heard since you began running, I got a huge turn off.
Its like your running in mud. Luckily so is McCain, but he stepped up the pace a bit last night.
What Americans are looking for is solutions. Not promises. They want someone to know or at least appear to know what to do.
Go forward...reselling your campaign is sitting still or going backward. You need something new.
Tariffs on foreign imports ?
Oil drilling ? That lease stuff dont mean squat to Americans...they want electricity.
Changes on credit lines....cutting down on multiple lines of credit open at the same time is an excellent start. Im talking credit cards, if a credit card balance is rolled into a new account, close the old one etc. If car loans and house payments are maxing out incomes, force closure on credit cards. Its needed and understandable.
We all know that citi-group donates heavily, but they are a main reason for this mess. Too much credit open and when people get in trouble they got no way out except bankruptcy.
I find it funny that Republicans picked this road. When hurting in the polls they go on character attacks.
Lets look at McCains past....where real American radicals exist.
Christian movements that aim at taking over voting districts and states. Including claiming independence from the United States.
Lets look at Joe six pack....were talking the beer drinking party.
Lets look at radical Christians like Pat Robertson, a pal of McCains.
They want to make Obama look like a hippie, in return show the world the mentality of the drunk Republican. What true ignorance, racism, and alcholism has produced. A group of people believing in seperation from the United States, stealing American land for their own use, to create a Christian state, similar in effect to Islamic law. A force of people who wish to attack the constitutional right of freedom of religion and the basic principles this country is founded on.
Who wish a political takeover of our nation. A return to theocracy. The same thing our American ancestors escaped from in Europe.
Yea lets talk about radicals. It is time.
McCain is no hero, he is the leader of a political takeover of this nation. A takeover based upon radical Christian belief.
If Obama is afraid of this issue, then he isnt enough man for the American people to be a leader.
He needs to show the American people there are 2 Christians, those who follow the land's laws, and those who wish to take over the land.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an attack by self interest. An attack against the good of the whole. An attack on those who wish to accept people who are different, who support individualtiy, who support independence, and who support our nations constitution.
It is an attack based on superstition, racism, and intolerance. Pushed by ignorance and blind to the statement of "One nation under God". A God that is not of any one religion, but all religions worldwide.
These people do not represent God. They represent self interest and greed. Those are not traits of God, those belong to the Devil. Fear is a tool they have used, hate is a tool they use, anger is a tool they use. Seperation and division is tools they use. Show the devil's for what they truly are.
Do not vote for self interest....vote for what is best for your country! Vote what is best for the world.
If McCain gets into office and goes to war with Iran, this nation will return to the 1960's division of people. If Obama calls for war with Iran we will goto war for the right reasons and resemble the WWII effort.
Now thats raidcal.....correction thats RIGHTOUS.
Time to get on the phone and call some "in the know" economist. Youll get buried if Republicans continue with ideas and leave you sitting still.
The economic crisis is hardly over.
My suggestion, NO MORE TAX BREAKS FOR BUSINESS UNLESS BENEFITS RAISE. But considering that factory jobs have pretty much gone overseas already...this isnt gonna work to well. We have to get business back in the US. Low paying jobs cant afford raising pay to employees, without raising prices and negating the effects.
So raising Tariffs on imported goods is about the only choice left. The China trade is killing us, not too mention many other foreign countries that business's operate nearly tax free with low payed employees.
Were in a bind like no other time in history. Its time to cap credit card limits. No more having 5 cards with 5000 limits on a weak income. 1 card at 5000 max.
The government has to cut pork spending, that bill from the senate was a nasty load of crap.
Its time to consider new options...like the overhaul of tax collections. Sales tax instead of income tax. Too many are escaping from tax collections. We need to fix that in order to hammer away at the deficit.
Next is a war on Gas prices....its a freaking arterial wound in our economy. We need a break through in automotive ASAP. If we cant make it here, we have to look to Europe or Japan, and get something better on our roads. Cost of these vehicles if foreign made is gonna hurt Americans badly at first before production cost can become more effiecient. But soon as we get better cars, it takes the hurt off those closer to the bottom of the economic ladder still in gas cars. Its gonna take 20 years to roll over if we started today.
Outlook is very grim. Nuclear power is a very valid option, along with offshore drilling, I dont see where we have choices anymore. In that outlook the money is on electric cars. An expensive alternative considering the cost of the batteries.
That leaves only one good option left......an overall need for populations not to continue rising. It should be on billboards by now, and since it is such a sensitive issue no one talks about it. Since it continues to be ignored, natural balance will occur, starvation at some point, as people run out of money and turn to desperate messures. Crime will increase, anger will increase, war hyping will increase as people look to point blame.
Be pro-active. Take on the issues before they turn into huge problems.
October 2 Biden - Palin Debate
First off Id like to give credit where credit is due, Palin did exactly as I thought she would, she gave a good emotional stirring debate. Much better than her interviews. She stood up under pressure. She tugged at heart strings. It what she is good at.
Biden used his logic very well. Tackling complicated issues, and also stirring up at times an emotional feeling in the middle class.
I give Biden the win, for doing both.
Now for the parts I didnt like. It was the same ole speeches and campaign stuff we have heard for months. Alot of angled statements that really could be considered lies were thrown by both. Alot of question avoiding by both but more so by Palin.
And another thing that really bothered me. Palin's statement about being over the Senate, being sure that the President's (McCain's) policies were being followed.
That folks is serious business, and alot like what has been going on with the Bush Cheney leadership. In terms everyone can understand....KING and QUEEN. With the Queen in control of the people's representatives, and the King over everything.
It was not a gaff. It was explained by her very well. Biden took her apart on it, but he could have done much more so.
He also nailed her on not acknowledging the source of global warming, and by not knowing, she had no idea how to fix it.
Another issue was the gay marriage. Both clearly stated they were against gay marriage, but the difference came when Biden said he did not believe it was an issue for Federal government. Palin did not say that, leaving the question open. Does she believe gay marriage between same sex couples should be a federal issue?? Does the Federal government have the right to invade upon this private issue?
These are tough questions, that need answers. Not side stepping.
Palin did alot of cheerleading, and her learning of McCain's policies has increased, but her true talent of cheerleading is fast waning and did not speak to me like it did before.
Again I believe Biden won.
He did make some mistakes, more troops = surge and you should have realized that fairly quick but you said it twice trying to interpret it different.
A winning strategy in Afganistan is protecting its borders from the tribal areas, getting the Afganistan police/army built so it can govern itself, and keeping Nato and American troops away from direct conflict in the area with the Afganistan people.
We cleaned it up pretty good, now we need to defend it. That in detail is the surge philosophy. To remain an invading force in a foreign land creates resistance. We should have limited military action with Afganistan people, to avoid increasing this resistance. Letting Afganistan military take on new internal conflicts.
The same goes for Pakistan. I do differ on giving Pakistan money to go after the tribal resistance, Id offer a contract that action comes before money is exchanged. We need to see results first. Either way it is the Pakistan people who have to take on this problem, and by doing so keeps us from creating more resistance to an invading force (us).
Iraq time table is stupid and a very bad subject. If the situation calls for more time then we need to extend it. The McCain philosophy is correct on this, and as a military man he knows it. You got burned.
To help you spin it though, you should compare it to a child being overly mothered and not made to face the world. That as long as mother (our army) was around, the child (Iraq military/police) would not stand up for itself.
Palin is the epitomy of small town viewpoints. You cannot change her views, you can only educate her, and let her think her way out of it.
Im small town (population of New Johnsonville TN roughly 1100), in order to combat her you must think and use the opposing small town views.
Whats important to a hunter? His gun, but also his hunting grounds. Small town America is open to environmental concerns.
Fight fire with fire. Small town values and community are important. In order to stay small, isnt birth control a good idea ??
Who protects small towns from big corporations? It sure isnt Republicans. Who protects small business? Its not Republicans.
Who protects the rights of freedom of religion? Democrats.Who suppresses it in favor of only one religion? Republicans.
Who supports your freedom of choice? Democrats. Who supports you having no choice? Republicans.
Who punishes you and makes an example of you when you make a mistake? Republicans. Who addresses the source of the problem? Democrats.
I just wish half of that was true....lol. Democrats are too soft on their positions. Its almost like a strict overbearing father (republican) and a too easy going mother (democrats).
I still believe its time for a moderate party in America, that is over the other two parties. Plato's philosopher kings.
Id like to educate the Democratic party on a philosophical topic.
This is a two party nation, 2 opposing views that directly conflict with one another. Conservative Right and Liberal Left. Both are polar extremes.
To win an election, the fundamental ability to come towards the middle, is the deciding factor in the eyes of common sense. The better moderate wins. For he or she pulls both sides together.
Extreme views pull at emotions, but moderate views pull at wisdom.
Learn the dance, You take 1 step forward(extreme view) and 1 step back(moderate). Its called the two step.
Palin dances well but she is lacking on the issue, and steps harder on the emotion. Biden steps on issue hard and doesnt deliver on the emotion. You tie. Get a better rythem.
Obama better learn to dance very quick...two more debates to go.
Overpopulation is quickly becoming an American problem.
We are losing the one thing that God gave us, our ability for self control. Its time we start using it.
Overpopulation is the leading cause for need (gas, food, etc), pollution, and environmental devastation.
Fighting over population is the best weapon against foreign demand, pollution, and poverty.
In return, people would have more land per person. Less crime. Less overall needs.
It increases family values, by creating smaller families with strong relationships built up by increased interaction between individuals. Two parents and two jobs do not give enough time in the day for more than 2 children and receive enough attention.
I want over-population to move forward in the Democratic fight.
It begins with education. In schools children should be taught about the matter. In churches as well. This may rub against Biden's religous beliefs concerning birth control, but in the end wisdom must prevail, in government and in religion. It is time to acknowledge that teens have sex, and the best way to combat "children having children" is education and protection.
Also overcrowding is the leading cause for war, as people fight for resources. Water rights in Israel-Palestinian lands. Oil in Iraq and Kuwait. Tibet and China's need for space.
I propose that in the interest of the country, tubial ligation be offered for people on welfare at the tax payers expense, and birth control be offered to the public. Education in schools, and cooperation between government and religions.
It benefits America, and its time to bring a new weapon against environmental problems for the world.
Every European nation has begun acknowledging the problem, every Eastern nation has the problem. When will America wake up?
We can no longer allow Republicans to gain tax breaks for business, without increasing Employee Pay and Benefits.
To give in to business tax breaks for minimal gain to the employees, is to pad the pockets of CEO's and not the workers.
The two should go hand in hand. No more giving in.
I was quite unimpressed that add-ons to pass the "relief" bill, included business. It should not have changed, it should have remained clean of add-ons. Business taxs are not a problem, foreign underpriced goods are. Wake up and be leaders, and quit giving in.
With the polls showing Obama pulling a significant lead, expect tonights debate to be very ugly.
Im betting Palin will be unleashed, with her more Religous views on Abortion, Iran, pro-Israel,pro-military, and ColdWar ideology being brought to the front.
The attack is coming, so be prepared for her to make alot of "little comments" about Democrats, as she answers her questions.
When those "little comments" are made, take the next question's time and respond in full to them. Do not let them go past you, without a responce.
Quicky responces by subject....
Abortion....The government should not interfere in the private lives of Americans. That it is ultimately a question of family values. That opinion should not be pushed into law.
Iran....If Iran lauched a nuke, it would be shot down and 200 nukes would be landing on them for trying to.
Pro-Israel....I support the Israeli state as is, but I also believe a Palestinian state is needed. Remember Obama earlier made the statement that Jerusalem was the capitol of Israel(bad move) so stick to mentioning the Palestinian state and stay off Jerusalem topics.
Muslim belief....That freedom of religion is a right of Americans, and guns will not make a difference, only freedom of choice will. That is how the spread of violent Islam will be countered. Guns against religion only re-enforce violent behavior. Freedom to choose ones religion is central to American belief and cannot be taken away.
Pro-military....according to Opensecrets.org 6-1 currently deployed troops supported Obama, compared to those who watch the media here in the states. Which troops are we suppose to be supporting? Why do the troops on the ground want a change in direction? Fully push for better disabled benefits, even though it is now probably the best it ever has been. If disabled veterans are Americans they should be for Obama as well, for whats best for America is also best for them.
Cold-war Russia....We have already beat Russia at the end of the cold war, freedom prevailed, it will again.
Republicans are placing the blame for their failure to support this bill on Pelosi's partisan speech. They failed to remain bi-partisan and did not support the people, when they needed it. So the blame still goes to republicans. They failed to pass the vote.
Damage control fast...and yes I agree ...Democrats tried to take advantage of this...you should know better. Dammit.
This is for Joe Biden in his upcoming debate with Palin.
Make Palin take a stance between religion and country. By questioning her knowledge on settlements in disputed territory. This will help educate the people on the situation. Normal people know nothing about it. They need to. If she supports settlements, she supports Greater Israel and does not recognize the Palestinian plight.
If you are willing to bring this subject to light, you bring it open to American media coverage, and you will begin a landslide toward Democratic views. Quit letting the elephants in the closet scare you into a weak position of you choosing religion over country. Make the situation public and the public can change. We must fight against ignorance, and uncover the Republicans abuse of the populations ignorance on these matters.
The Southern Baptist are not friends of Democrats, dont pander to them anymore on issues of religious belief. Take them on. That sending people into refugee camps is an ugly truth of Israli aggression and power. That tyranny cannot be acceptable by our allies or enemies.
The American Jewish people are very open to debate on this issue. Ive met many younger Jews who want peace in the Middle East, and they no longer feel the anger the elder generation has.
Palin made the comment that unilateral support for Israel was unquestionable. Does that include Israel's continued growth in settlements, in areas that are protected by the Oslo Peace Treaty /Accord?
Are her beliefs based on religion? YES. Is it America's position to support an aggressor? No. This does not make you pro-Muslim. It makes you pro-Palestinian. A people living in refugee camps. This makes you a hero. That's what Americans want. A hero for the underdog. A hero for people oppressed.
That in no way makes you an extremist supporter...violence should be condemned by both sides. That gives you higher ground.
But the main point here is....does Palin's religious views interfere with her ability to be vice president or possibly president....the answer is an astounding YES.
Palin will attempt to make Biden look un-American....she will corner him on his beliefs as a Christian. He must rise above it and not back down. This will be in the form of policy stance on Iran and Extremism. Beat her here and she is toast.
Jesus quote to use "Forgive them for they know not what they do" etc.
Now for Russia...different situation and different tactic. Remember this Cold War activity is because of American influence. We pushed hard for the missile shield on land near Russia. Bush atagonized the situation with Georgia, by sending ships into the Black Sea. All of which is political in tone for this election. Posturing to keep the sence of war on the American people and to keep a strong military supporter in office.
Strength in diplomacy is needed to contain Russia, using Nato and the UN. Russia does not want to lose power in either area. This can be resolved with new leadership and a change in direction that Democrats are ready to lead in. If it comes to war, then War it shall be, and no Democrat will let the American people be placed in danger or allow the bullies of the world to pick on little people.
Also tackle gun control, that the issue is about protecting woman from violent relationships. That domestic violence is good cause for a removal of firearm rights. That hunters are protected, and violent offenders are prosecuted to the maximum. That the focus is on violence and not on gun rights. Fight against the NRA lies, point by point. That AK-47's and assault weapons are a danger to our public service men and woman. Police officers, firefighters, and ambulance workers. Support the right, for clean record citizens, to protect themselves from violent crime. You win the argument, you win support from woman, and you place doubt in those who listened to the NRA lies.
Okay you get the point. If Israel, guns, religion, and Iran nukes are taboo territory because of the complicated issues involved, then you are standing in a weak position, and will look weak. Palin will win big and you will lose a ton of support from Woman and those on the fence in religion.
You cannot afford to shy away from controversy. Let your mouth get you in trouble, your the expert and the American people need to see a leader.
After the Bailout.. we need presented a regualtion bill that will include "all loans" to provide proof of repayability or exces income. No more gambling in the loan sector.
If Democrats start this new bill...it helps us overcome the Republican hands off approach to business, and helps undermine their philosophy. Gaining the support of the people and further stabilizing the markets confidence.
Get your economist together, lawyers, and get to work!
Next begin work on closing the gap between "income and cost of living". Get real numbers...phone bill, mortgage payments, gas, food, water, electric. Get the bottom line dollar figure a 40 hour work week employee should make to be able to pay his bills.
Then propose legislation to lower taxes on business that pay Americans this amount. The payback in taxes comes from income tax, the payoff to business is more spending from the public. The payoff to Americans is the ability to afford a home, send kids to school, and keep the lights on, while saving heafty portions of money for retirement...that further increase the Wall Street markets base line of growth.
Economics is a winner atm. With the current attention on Government and Wall Street , this is a golden opportunity to do something GOOD.
Everyone has heard Obama say "What Ill Do as President" hundreds of times. Americans dont wanna hear the campaign slogans anymore. It was a huge turn off in the first debate.
Replace it with "Ill restore confidence in our Government again" by looking out for the people. "Confidence" is a keyword atm. In our markets etc etc etc. Use it.
Like so "Ill restore the Image of Freedom that made this nation the greatest in the World". "Return pride in America", "Ill restore America to its world leadership role". That role is supporting the weak people of the world from the aggressive powers that use fear and terror, and dirty tactics for amibitous gains. Remember we are the party of the little people, defending them from the greedy minority. Touch the people, and you win this. Restore the democratic party to its position as the peoples party.
Obama continuously using the "I" statement makes him look conceided, selfishly elitist. It also makes him look like the overspending type. Ill do this and this and this etc etc...Thats alot of "I will do" and worries tax payers worry because of what the Republicans have said about taxes going higher etc.
Remember the greatest laws are tax free.....they are rights and freedoms that require no tax. They are fundamental rights being recognized, and Obama should be saying "I recognize your right to pursuit of happiness" and "I recognize your right to not be oppressed". Instead of "I have alot of propositions and legislation" - thats tax talk.
Anyways hope someone reads this..

Middle Eastern Policy:
You better get up to date on this subject....remember that Republicans and the media for almost 7 decades have painted the Muslim nations as a huge Evil empire. Truth, it has no religous freedom, if born into a Muslim family, without expulsion from their community. But it is families and people just like everywhere else, people who work, raise children, and work in their communities for the greater good.
We cannot label the entire people as extremist and terrorist like the far right wing has decided to do. Just like Israel and its overly ambitious goal of territory growth, towards Greater Israel, have wanted us to believe.
This mentality is what led to the Iraq war. To setup a blockade between Iran and Israel and put American troops directly in the path of a religous war.
Are our troops, American troops or Christian troops? Do we support the constitution or do we support one religion's goals and motivations. Our constitution sais this nation supports freedom of religion. Our troops are from every religion and no religion. They are not Christian soldiers, they are American soldiers in a war against extremism, not against Islam. There are many Islamic people and factions that do not support the extremist view. There are normal people in other parts of the world.
John McCain and Sarah Palin are American Christian extremist. Filled with hate against all other religions and various viewpoints worldwide. To gain power they joined the corporate lobbyist. They are in truth, a part of the greed machine that has raped the American people. Their only goal is power driven, to control the American people in this war against foreigners. One nation under God does not give anyone the authority to claim this nation as Christian. For God is universal to all religions, no matter the name depicted by each religion.
Im no military man but the significance of invading Iraq, which lies directly between Iran and Israel, is very much religous based. We are the blockade between the two nations, and a shield for Israeli aggression in the west, and a shield against Iranian resistance to it. That is the only reason we still remain in Iraq. This mission should have been over within months of toppling Hussein, without a need to rebuild Iraq.
We cannot support Israeli Zionist beliefs, they are ambitious and unsettling. Distracting from global affairs and a constant source of irritation that threatens a return to Middle Age's mentality. A world ruled by ignorance.
Muslim belief, as hardcore as it is, as overpowering as it is, is very much in a state of rebellion from within. It will destroy itself, but as long as outside forces continue to unite it, it will grow stronger. The word freedom is Muslim's greatest enemy. It destroys the identity that has been hammered unto the Muslim children.
It is time in America to restore the true meaning of faith in America. Faith is what you have when times are hard, faith that things will get better. Faith is not about religous faith, but a belief that god is watching over us, providing for us in a time of need. Faith today is now considered devotion to religious belief, to the entity of Church and its leadership, but not to God. Faith and its changed meaning, is now a tool for ambition and control of our government, and the people of our country. Peer pressure from those around them. The question now is, who are the truly faithful? Where does one's individual faith belong now?
Faith in governemnt has been destroyed, by the rampaging tactics of those who swear faith to another source. The same source of faith that so many devote their lives, has let us down in an ambitous takeover of our country. The danger is real. Our nation is becoming a theocracy, the very type of government that Americans ran away from in Europe. The very foundations of our constitution are in danger from extremist in our own country.
So are you an American or are you a Baptist first Obama? Is Biden a Catholic or an American first? These are the questions I have....do you govern by beliefs or by the principles and morals you were raised by?
This is gonna be what tests you.....be ready. Be brave enough to speak your mind. This is what will lead you to victory, honesty.
Lead the American people to the higher middle ground, and you will have won.
We do not belong in the Middle East between two Extremist Identities that cannot leave the past behind. We defend America, we defend freedom, but we do not support Hostile Ambition and Genocide from noone.
