WHAT IS AT STAKE

Not wanting to be those who post gloom and doom messages, we cannot ignore what is at stake in this election. In this blog we will expound on the reasons to support the McCain-Palin ticket. They are all equally important to us but we must start somewhere. So today's topic is our military and national defense.

At the end of this blog will be a link where you can watch Obama confirm the contents of this blog with his own mouth.

In October of 2007, Obama outlined his plan for our National Defense under an Obama administration. Following are the highlights:

1) He will end the war and withdraw troops immediately. (White flag of surrender, anyone?)

2) He will cut "tens of billions of dollars" in what he calls "wasteful" defense spending, including the spending on the Iraq war.

3) He will cut investment in missile defense systems.

4) He will NOT weaponize space (i.e. end spending on Star Wars, which is making great progress).

5) He will slow the development of future combat systems.

6) He will institute an independent defense priorities board to reign in "unnecessary" spending.

7) He will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
a. He will not develop new nuclear weapons
b. He will seek a ban on all fissile material
c. He will negotiate with RUSSIA to take our ICBMs off hair trigger alert and to achieve deep
cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

8) His SOLE priority in defense spending will be protecting America.

9) Further, in May 2008 in a campaign speech, Obama said that Iran, Venezuela and N. Korea were tiny countries who did not pose a serious threat to the U.S. Perhaps Mr. Obama is unaware of Putin's meetings with Chavez to discuss arming them with nuclear weapons or Russia's cooperation with Iran on nuclear weapons as well as other arms.

Obama has gotten the approval of Louis Farrakahn (leader of the Nation of Islam), Momar Kadafi, Hugo Chavez, and Ahmed Yousef (Hamas). Do you think the list above could be why? Collin Powell is in fabulous company, isn't he?

Little commentary is needed on Obama's obvious lack of understanding about the current state of the world and our place in it. It is clear that our a strong military and national defense will not be a priority in an Obama administration. Ronald Reagan understood the deterring effect of a strong military to our enemies. Obama is sending a signal of weakness and appeasment that is extraordinarily dangerous given the nuclear age in which we live. We must understand what is at stake in this election and our national defense tops our list as a reason to support the McCain-Palin ticket!
