I have to admit the only reason I was going to vote McCain was because we can’t afford a radical leftist like Obama in the White House. Had the Democrats run someone without the cult-like devotion comrade Obama engenders in his bleating flock of neo-Marxist sheep I’d probably not have voted at all.

But the addition of Governor Sarah Palin to the ticket has made me more excited about voting. Palin deals with Russia as governor on territorial issues and like Reagan her executive position gives her the experience to lead that none of the other three people in the race have, including McCain.

Palin’s a real American. She finished second in the Miss Alaska pageant yet was referred to as “Sarah Barracuda” by her basketball teammates for her aggressive playing style. She’s a tough political reformer who challenged corruption in Alaska and a wife and mother of five children. She’s a life long hunter and sportswoman who represents the best of America and would make a great Vice President, or President for that matter.

She’s not hard on the eyes either:

Although that’s no reason to vote for her. Her integrity, experience and leadership is. While I myself am pro-choice, I admire her commitment to life and traditional values. I am much more comfortable voting for McCain now that he has selected a running mate with executive experience and a real understanding of American values and convictions.

Support the McCain/Palin ticket today and help the G.O.P. usher in a new era of strength and prosperity.

As I’m watching the roll call at the spectacle of the DNC what I notice is many White liberals patting themselves on the back at how “progressive” they were in supporting Barack Obama for President. Being Bi-racial like Obama one would think I could at least feel a sense of pride in his accomplishments even if I disagreed with his politics. But I don’t.

There is no issue on which I’m in agreement with Obama. I can disagree with many people and still admire them, but Obama is a person that is willing sacrificed the Black community for Marxist doctrine as his stance on illegal immigration makes very clear. This is the line at which I can no longer muster any respect for him.

Unfettered illegal immigration negatively effects Black Americans more than any other group and any politician who would represent all Americans should factor that into their immigration policy. I am all for providing shelter to those Latin Americans fleeing Communism and the poverty, war and bloodshed that comes with it, but we must have an orderly process that weeds out gang members, Marxists and others who come here specifically to cause trouble and target Black Americans for racist hate crimes.

Few are the Black leaders who have stood up for law and order and spoken out against the White liberal endorsed genocide of Black Americans by Latino gang-bangers. One such leader is Ted Hayes, who is running for Congress in California’s 35th District. Ted Hayes has worked tirelessly for civil rights, has been a strong advocate for common sense programs that help the homeless and has been on the forefront of the battle to secure our borders and the future of African-Americans.

He seeks to unseat Maxine Waters, a corrupt Democrat who has long supported Castro and socialist revolution here in America. She is part of the political machine that allows the murder and rape of American communities and it is high time she is replaced by someone who actually will fight to make America a better and stronger nation.

I endorse Ted Hayes for Congress and the change he will bring to Washington.

On a couple of other posts about people cravenly standing by and allowing someone who needed their help to die I’ve been getting comments to the effect that everybody would act that way so I should, as one put it in an email, “shut the f%&# up” before he shuts me up though it should be noted I’m still waiting on that. This story I caught on Breitbart should be a good answer to the “it’s normal to be a coward” meme that has become so common on the Internet.

A Brooklyn car thief risked arrest to report a potential terrorist incident in a display of patriotism worthy of the July 4th holiday. From the N.Y. Post:

He’s a criminal, but he “did the right thing” when it mattered – alerting cops to what he feared was a terror plot the day before the Fourth of July.

At about 5 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified thief with a police record broke into a red van that had been parked at 53rd Street and Second Avenue in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park for about a month, a source told The Post.

He was stunned when he looked inside – it was filled with gas cans and Styrofoam cups containing a mysterious white substance with protruding wires and switches.

The street is lined with brownstones, and there’s a ballet studio and a small Muslim school. So he drove the van 15 blocks to 37th Street and parked it at a desolate waterfront location behind the Costco store and next to some little-used piers.

Then he got out and called a cop he knows from his run-ins with the law.

“He did the right thing,” a high-ranking officer said. “And he possibly saved a lot of people’s lives.”

Another source said cops are unlikely to file charges for the break-in.

It turns out that the suspected bomb maker is a Chinese national named Yung Tang who’s already in federal custody for attempting to blow up a man he had a dispute with. Tang’s attorney claims he has nothing to do with the van, which was found near his residence and contained devices similar in design to the ones he previously used.

I’m not one to romanticize thieves or minimize the damage to people’s lives, especially poor people, that stealing a car can cause but when the chips were down this guy put the safety of others first, driving the bomb laden van away from the populated area and calling the cops. Today at least he’s a hero.
