The Terrorists Are Coming

Posted by JayPeriod on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 1:24:19 PM
For the past 7 1/2 years, President Bush has kept us safe from terrorists.  He has kept them at bay, chasing them around the globe and fighting them on foreign soil.  He has kept the ones we've captured out of our country by keeping them at Gitmo.  We have taken steps, through things such as the Patriot Act and listening to phone calls of those who speak to terrorist, to keep them out of our country and from having any footing at all in our counrty.

Now, with most likely his first act, President-elect (PE) Obama is going to close Gitmo and bring many, if not all, of those terrorists into our country and give them their day in our courts.

These are people who have shot at our troops, planned attacks on our homeland and have no desire but to kill or be killed in the fight against freedom.  PE Obama feels that these are the people he wants to bring here and give them taxpayer funded trials and house them in prisons where they could potentially meet others who abhor American and our freedoms; thugs, rapists, child molesters and gang members.  He wants that to be his first act.

One thing is for sure, it will definitely set the tone for his Presidency.  He is willing to make his first act be their next act in trying to bring an end to America as we know it.  Of all the things he could do with his first official act, he wants this to be it.

Here is where the true danger of this election will rear its ugly head.  We now have a man in office who honestly thinks these people just need "justice" and understanding, then they'll go back home and be our friends.  They'll convince their friends to like us, as well.  This is either stupid or naive.  Or both.

Let the insanity begin.

Thank You, Soldiers

Five years ago today, our brave men and women began the liberation of the people of Iraq.  They have fought terrorist from around the Middle East as they flocked to Iraq to fight us.  They have suffered many deaths and wounds.  They have suffered embarrassment as Americans have belittled and protested them.  They have fought bravely in the face of all this, and they are winning, bringing freedom to a country and region that have not known freedom for centuries.

I personally know two young men who have fought there and are proud of what they are doing.  They have expressed their desire to finish the fight and win.  They believe in what they are doing, seeing the effects of their efforts.  I am so proud of them.

Many in our country have protested this war, not fully understanding what is at stake.  They have not seen nor known the enemy.  They have a limited view of terrorism and an even more limited understanding of the goals of the terrorists.

I was serving in Germany with the Army in the mid-1980s, when Islamic terrorists were attacking our troops across Europe, bombing discos, PXs and other places our troops congregated.  I was personally in three buildings where bombs were found, while they were found.  I could have quite easily been another statistic rather than being here today, writing this post.

Yet, because President Reagan had the courage and fortitude to attack the terrorist and those who supported them, I survived.  After he attacked Libya, the attacks stopped.  He knew that those animals only understood force.  Today, Khadafi is silenced and unarmed.  He is no longer a threat.  He was taught that America will not tolerate those who do not value civilized society.

Today, the terrorist Saddam Hussein is no longer in power, or alive, al-Qaida is on the run in Iraq and Afghanistan and millions of Iraqi men and women are free and have self-determination.  This would not have been possible without the bravery of our men and women in uniform.

These brave souls deserve our gratitude, prayers and support, not our anger and protest.  The President who struggled with the decision to send them, deserves our support and prayers for making the tough, unpopular decision to defeat terrorism, wherever it rears its ugly head.  United we can show those uncapable of living in a civilized society that we will not tolerate their intolerance.

So, join me today in lifting up a prayer of thanksgiving for these brave men and women who are protecting us and providing freedom to millions around the world.  Let's let them know we are thankful for them.

American Security And Nancy Pelosi

Posted by JayPeriod on Thursday, March 13, 2008 9:48:38 AM
Three weeks ago, the Senate passed an extension of the FISA wiretapping bill with strong bipartisan support.  All that was needed was for the House to do the same thing and it would not expire and our intelligence agencies would have the tools they need to protect us.  This bill allows our agencies to listen in to phone lines when known terrorists call someone within this country.  Who could possibly be against that?

In that three weeks, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-al-Qaida) has stalled and done everything but bring that bill to the floor.  She has let the protection lapse and put our country at risk.  The terrorists know it and have no doubt used this time as an opportunity to plan and scheme their worst.

In response, Rep. Pelosi (D-al-Qaida) has brought to the floor legislation that will not protect our nation, nor will it be passed by the Senate or be signed by the President.  What it will do is protect the incomes of trial lawyers for years to come, along with give the terrorists free reign over the airwaves to plot and plan to their hearts content.  It is nothing more than a stall tactic, which puts us at greater risk the longer she stalls.

It seems that Rep. Pelosi (D-al-Qaida) has no intention of granting our intelligence agencies the tools they need to protect our nation.  She will not protect American companies who aid the government in rooting out these terrorists.  Are these not treasonous actions?

So, just who does Rep. Pelosi (D-al-Qaida) represent?

Nancy Pelosi, The Best Friend A Terrorist Could Have

Posted by JayPeriod on Friday, February 15, 2008 9:25:17 AM
Since coming into the leadership position in the House last year, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has done more to aid and comfort terrorist than she has to serve the American people and provide for our safety.  Because she is filled with so much hatred for President Bush and traditional American values, she has been more interested in slowing down legislation that protects us and promoting legislation that will destroy everything we hold dear.  Her very actions benefit terrorists wishing to do harm to our great nation.

The latest incident is her refusal to bring the FISA bill, a bill that allows our intelligence agencies to gather information on those who communicate with terrorists overseas, to a vote.  Instead, she has decided that the House should take a break, letting the current legislation expire.  This, after the Senate was able to put together bipartisan legislation to extend the act.  Apparently, after only about 5 weeks of work, the House needs a break.

During this time of "work", there have been endless hours of hearings to determine whether Roger Clemens used steroids and a vote to hold Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten in contempt for their refusal to testify in the bogus, worthless, obstructionist hearings regarding the Presidents decision to fire his employees.  These follow a pattern of ineffective leadership by the Congresswoman from California.

Yet, when they do pass legislation, it is legislation that is detrimental to our nation.  I speak most of the recent stimulus package passed.  This is a bill destined to undermine and do very little good to our economy.  They pass omnibus bills that include billions in pork, talk of raising taxes, then give $150 billion to people who have very little chance of boosting the economy.

Pelosi's leadership has led to historically low approval ratings for Congress.  The people of the US see the worthlessness of her leadership, they see the ineffectiveness of the work of the House under her leadership, yet she continues to operate in this manner.  The only ones I see that have that kind of tenacity are the terrorists determined to destroy us.  Looking at the eventual outcome of Pelosi's actions, they have the same goal.
