IRAN & ISRAEL

Our Country is on the brink of a great decision. Iran seems to have made great progress in developing an atomic bomb. This past week they announced their first unmanned attack drone and have called it "The Ambassador of Death".
Iran has made no secrete that they wish to "wipe Israel off the map". It looks like they are making progress to being able to do this. The question is when will they attack and what will be the position of the United States?

I believe that we must support Israel. It is very possible in the not too distant future that we will see Israel make a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israel can not just stand by and let Iran carry out their threat. To think that Iran won’t strike is to be naive. This is a real possibility and the question is what will we do about it.

It is possible that Israel will try to take out Iran’s nuclear program. I for one would not blame them as they are under a threat and must answer it. Do they wait until Iran makes a first strike? That would possibly destroy some or all of Israel. We have seen the leaders of Iran state that they will go after Israel, and the United States will be next.

We must stand with Israel, even if they make the first strike. If we abandon them, the radicals will only be encouraged. We will be next on their agenda. Much of the world will condemn us if we stand with Israel, but they will be glad to see that Iran will not be a greater threat to them.

Israel is not seeking war, but they are not afraid of it either. They are a feisty people and very much want to live in peace with their neighbors. Think of it this way; what if Mexico had vowed to wipe the US off the map and were making weapons to be able to do that. Would we naively stand by and let them proceed? This is the situation with Israel. They must act to protect themselves.

Well he has done it again! Obama has come out in favor of building a Mosque within two blocks of Ground Zero. It is a direct slap in the face of the victims of the 9-11 attack on our land.

The better part of wisdom would for him to have been quite on this matter, but he has chosen to get involved. He still claims that Islam is a peaceful religion and he has stated that the United States is not a Christian nation. Granted, there are some Muslims who want to be good citizens. However they seem to never speak out against the radicals in their religion. The radicals want to impose Sharia law on the entire world. Do a little research and you will find that Sharia thinking goes against everything that America stands for!

I remember most of the Muslims in the Mid East took to the streets to cheer the destruction of the Twin Towers and the loss of lives there. Some say that we should be tolerant and accept the Muslims. I disagree. If they will come forth and condemn the radical members of their faith, I can be more tolerant of them. Until they are willing to stand up for the standards of the United States, I am not willing to accept them.

They do not have to agree with our religion, but they must agree with the founding principles of our Nation. If we do not take action to stop the perpetrators of Sharia thinking they will ultimately take over our Nation.

Please do a little research on Sharia Law before you discard this message. Regardless of what Obama says, the United States was founded on Judo/Christian principals. We must stand up for these principals as well as the Constitution.

As one of our founders said “For evil to succeed, good people should do nothing”. Wake up America! It is time to take back our country!

Anchor Babies

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This is part of the XIV Amendment to our constitution.

This Amendment was passed to insure that freed slaves would be considered citizens of the United States. This was the right thing to do in July of 1868. In recent years this Amendment has made illegal aliens citizens if they are born here. This has resulted in what are called "anchor babies", babies born here even though their parents are illegal.

It is time to revisit this Amendment and consider revoking it. It has served it's purpose and is now being used for a purpose other than intended. The original purpose, to grant citizenship to freed slaves was good, but now it is working against the citizens of this country.

We should continue to welcome legal immigrants to this country, but they must come legally through the system.
