“They took the lives of innocent men, women and children without regard to their faith or race or station.” - Barack Obama’s revisionist 9/11 history lesson to West Point cadets.

Barack Obama’s biggest liabilities as both a politician and so-called “leader” are his tendency to overstate the magnitude of the nation’s problems and the effects of his policies upon those problems, to overreach on the legislative solutions to those overstated problems, as well as the time required for doing so and to repeatedly begin acting on those problems before the proper solution has been identified, effectively placing the cart before the horse.

Much discussion has centered around whether Hillary Clinton actually possesses human qualities such as empathy, emotion or likability In other words, things that translate to electability. She has faced so much criticism –and deservedly so– I often wonder whether she’s even a real human being with flesh and blood underneath that exoskeleton, or just some kind of grotesque machine like Mecha-Streisand™; with servos, wires and circuits; factory preprogrammed as a calculating political machine.

There has been so much discussion about her likability during this campaign, that she had to launch a website called “The Hillary I Know” in order to dispel what the media calls rumors and prove that there are actual people that like her.

The 2008 primary season has barely begun and already there are more ugly examples of campaign shenanigans on both sides than ever before. It matters not that voters have consistently voiced their desire to hear the candidates’ positions on the issues; all we get is the occasional self-aggrandized version of one’s record, followed by copious attacks on their opponent’s records topped off with personal attacks on the opponents themselves by private investigators and muckrakers of every stripe.

Let’s have a look at what a few of the leading candidates are up to so you can make an informed decision about which Americans may not be the best president.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to The US Senate, MoveOn.org, Columbia University, and the New York Times. Together you have done more to expose the moral bankruptcy of liberalism in the United States and more to advance the cause of conservatism in the previous couple of weeks than at any time in recent history. You deserve a medal.

Hillary Clinton, Carl Levin, and other mouthpieces of the Democrat party would have you believe that the current debate over MoveOn.org’s recent birdcage liner in the New York Times is about whether or not you support the war in Iraq. To the contrary; at its core, this debate is about whether or not you support vicious verbal attacks on our military; our country; our citizenry; our dignity.

Hillary Clinton is chomping at the bit to be -lest we forget- Commander-in-Chief of the US military;

Carl Levin chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee;

Yet both had the craven cowardice along with the usual cast of characters; Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, to vote against a repudiation of the unwarranted attack on a senior soldier of the US Army who has been bestowed awards for his valor. In other words, by voting no on this resolution, they at least tacitly if not overtly support the cut-rate media smearing of a decorated senior soldier. What a bargain, huh? Gives new meaning to the term ‘cheap shot’.

The New York Times continues its sorry descent into gutter journalism with recent disclosures that it violated its own long-standing editorial policy against publishing attack ads by surreptitiously giving MoveOn.org -a partisan political organization- a steep discount. The evil influence of money in politics rears its ugly head once again. The problem with our political system is that it survives on a large infusion of dirty money. Money used primarily for attacking one’s opponent in the media. When someone gets caught red-handed; like Hillary Clinton; they give it back, or to charity. Problem solved. There’s no accountability. Not much more need be said. The Times is a mouthpiece for extreme liberal propaganda that acted improperly to advance a partisan political agenda like it has been doing for decades, and it is on life support. It should be put out of our misery.

Columbia University, that distinguished epicenter of free thought and higher learning has the hypocrisy and chutzpah to host the president of Iran, who in the past 2 weeks has asked for and been denied permission to lay a wreath at the WTC site in New York, and delivered an anti-American, anti-Semitic diatribe safely from Iranian soil prior to his departure to the US, before coming here and doing the same.

My first reaction was utter amazement that Columbia would legitimize a murderous dictator. That in itself is horribly offensive. The University’s rationale for the invitation is the free expression of ideas; free and open debate, which I fully support. I wish I could believe them. The scathing introduction almost moderated my position towards their Invitation to Evil, but in the past, they allowed an immigration debate involving the Minutemen to descend into anarchy and then dissolve before ever even starting. They also engaged in a pathetic attempt to bar military recruiters from campus because of their ban against discriminatory hiring practices.

Untold millions of heroic men and women have and will continue to serve their country; answering the call of duty to defend her against dictators like the one that Columbia University invited to speak; yet they relegate the sacrifice of these heroes whose blood cleanses the streets of those dictatorships to that of just another employee seeking a job on campus, and then try to bar them altogether. Their commitment to free speech leaves something to be desired.

Mahmoud’s Traveling Circus ended as well as could be expected, but it served no purpose other than to confirm that which we already knew. Ahmedinejad stood there smiling smugly the whole time, he didn’t answer any of the questions posed to him with anything other than obfuscation and disdain, and his appearance probably didn’t add much to the debate over his or Iran’s intentions. The only purpose his bellowing served was to stoke the fires of US resentment with those Iranians still listening by showing how he stood up to the arrogance and debauchery of the Great Satan.

So to aforementioned bastions of liberalism and others like you:

My sincerest thanks. I salute you. Just keep Movin’On.

Democrats are perpetually beating the drum of support for our military men and women. They try and hide it with all of their might, but the true contempt they hold for our nation’s military always seems to escape from the lips of those who speak for the party itself. As a veteran, I consider their insults morally repugnant.

Last year, they screamed for change in Iraq, threatening to pull the plug by whatever means necessary. They purposefully avoided using terms like “withdrawal” or (more accurately) “retreat” to describe what they sought from the President. They said they had a mandate: a “change of course” and a “redeployment”. President Bush gave them both in the form of thousands of extra soldiers to hand the Iraqi government and military some breathing room.
