No, seriously

John McCain is launching a new campaign video entitled, ‘Safe’. In it he states that he hates war and loves America. He pledges to keep us safe.

JOHN MCCAIN: Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war. When I was five years old, my father left for war. My grandfather came home from war and died the next day. I was shot down over Vietnam and spent five years as a POW. Some of the friends I served with never came home.

I hate war. And I know how terrible its costs are.

I’m running for President to keep the country I love safe.

I’m John McCain and I approve this message.

I find it interesting that in the comments on this video at YouTube are pretty vicious. The general theme seems to be that the commenters are voting for Obama because they hate war. Its interesting that people have such a difficult time understanding even the most basic concept that avoiding conflict creates unavoidable conflict. Voting for Obama will undoubtedly increase our risks in the world as he is viewed as an appeaser and a friend of our enemies. You think not? He, himself, has stated that he will open talks with our enemies.

If you are of military age and plan to vote for Obama, you might want to consider what it means for you to have someone in office who will be perceived as weak by our enemies throughout the world.

We all hate war. In a perfect world there would be no war. This isn’t a perfect world.

And via Patrick Hynes through the power of email, what would it look like in 2013 if Obama was president?

Funny? Scary? You decide. (Full-size here.)

More Obama worship! This one IS scary.

I had wanted to post part two of the McCain interview by Bill O’Reily, but, Red Lasso is having some issues. You can try and give it a shot later, if you want. Part one seems to be hosed, too. So, let’s go with a bit of humor embeded with the truth, via Allahpundit, who calls this “the last consolation of the disgruntled Hillary supporter..” I just call it funny, witty, and, hopefully true come the morning of November 5th.

Also commonly known as “groupthink” or “brainwashing.”

That’s funny, but the idea of Barack Obama as President isn’t funny. I got the following via email and it sums up neatly why Barack Obama is WRONG FOR AMERICA, and the agenda for which he’s using his “Jedi Mind Tricks.”

Policy wise, Obama will push us gleefully towards socialism, which cannot be good to the average blue collar worker, teacher or trucker, much less business owner or corporation. His policies will cause gas prices to skyrocket even higher and faster than they currently are. He is opposed to drilling for more oil. He is in favor of more regulation, and even thinks he is smart enough to determine the salaries of CEO’s.

On abortion he has a 100% National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) rating. He is in favor of partial birth abortion, supports transporting minors across state lines for abortions, and is against holding accountable doctors who fail to provide treatment for babies born live after botched abortions.

On taxes he wants to eliminate the Bush tax cuts and will be happy as a clam to raise them. He is so far out of touch with reality that he doesn’t even think “we the people” want our taxes reduced.

On crime, he is against stiffer penalties against gang members, supports needle exchanges and is soft on sex predators.

On health care, he is a Hillary clone, and wants to create universal health care, which is just another term for socialized medicine…which hasn’t worked anywhere its been tried.

On education he supports sex education for grade schoolers and thinks anyone with a B average or above should get free college.

On guns, Barack is so extreme he doesn’t even put his position up on his campaign website. He proclaims his support for the Second Amendment, but is working hard to turn America into a “gun free” zone, where self defense is outlawed. Naturally, he is against concealed weapons.

Most politicians would be sunk with friends like Barack’s.

His associations with his pals are amazing — Jeremiah Wright, his spiritual mentor thinks God should damn America. Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, now a college professor stomps on the American flag and declares he wished he would have set off more bombs.

Barack’s pal Frank Marshall Davis who he looked upon as “father” is an anti-Christian radical and member of the Communist Party USA, while his official campaign blogger’s work appeared in a socialist magazine and he had a communist flag at his home.

Tony Rezko, of course is still in trouble with the law. Code Pink founder Jodie Evans not only raised money for Barack, but also for Islamic radicals in Iraq.

Is this guy actually qualified to be President?

Of course not, in the traditional sense. He got educated, has no business experience, cut his teeth as a community activist, breezed through a stint in the Illinois state legislature, and spent two years as a U.S. Senator.

“Qualification” when it comes to politics is different than the real world. Qualified to run for office merely means that you have connections, you have a fundraising base and you have supporters. That’s it. Many of us don’t, nor do we necessarily have the desire. But he does, and he has it all in a major way.

Is he actually ready to be Commander in Chief, to be the leader of the free world, to be the true hope of those living under oppression? Well, if you put it that way, the answer is no. His solution to Iran, radical Islam and the terrorists running rampant in Iraq and Afghanistan is to sit down and talk with them. He doesn’t get it. They are done talking.

Barack is a liberal forged from the same molten fire deep within the same mountain as Hillary Clinton. And since he is, and since she is so prominent, you’d think the Democrats would want a Hillary/Barack ticket, and not Barack at the top of the heap. After all, that would be the safest bet.

But no, Democrats are jumping ship on Hillary and swimming over to the S.S. Obama. Why? Almost nothing can explain it. . . except one thing.

And I am telling you it is not the obvious. It is not Barack’s message of Hope and Change that has struck a chord. No, just about every Democrat has been selling that same old swill for years.

Everyone knows that “Hope” to a Democrat means more money from you going to the government.

Everyone also knows that “Change” to a Democrat means jettisoning the Free Enterprise system and exchanging it for socialism.

Remember that.
