A great proportion of the Republican base will like whoever Rush and Sean Hannity tell them to like, and that's going to be Jindal.
Dear readers,
We’re terribly tired of warning people of the impending dangers ahead, but I must continue to persevere.
America for years has been in the denials of deception and it continues today. Sometimes truth is stranger then fiction, but looking back I see something people have forgotten. When Bill Clinton was in office he created NAFTA, he then introduced it and passed it, which was later uncovered as the “World Trade Organization.” This is the straw used to break America’s economic back. Then Bill or Hillary coined and enacted the phrase “Politically Correct” which was adopted, as America’s new and improved standard of logic in behavior, which enthused unfathomable laws and those in opposition would be marked as felonious.
I used to optimistically hope that America would wake up in time to see the perils surrounding her, but the evil deceptions were too great. Hidden lies and deceptions were already seated within our own government. New elected officials would also begin to compromise their allegiance while becoming entangled with socialism’s grip. Senator Joseph McCarthy, in the early ‘50’s warned us of the infiltration of communism. We ignored his warnings but the signposts did not lie. We’re now left with the final phase of, “The New World Order” that irreverently insists on dominating the world economically, religiously, militarily and politically.
The issues of restoration; the American people must demand the restoration of our sovereignty without third-world dependence, if to prolong the inevitable. NAFTA must be shutdown immediately! And whether you agree or not matters little, as the consequences of not recognizing the obvious will only hasten our unwilled fate. America’s Forefathers when drafting the Constitution made such provisions to protect herself from these specific attacks. “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariable the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.” The traitorous momentum of corruption by elected government officials must be stopped, weeded out and severely dealt with!
America’s issues are directly related to the above with one additional causality, which is above all others. America’s allegiance to God, which was removed from government and our schools, ergo the downfall. When America removes her godliness, evil and its deceptions immediately step in to fill the void and there you have it. The history of Israel shows the consequences of a nation backsliding from grace.
Corporate America was free to move off shore and left ten’s of thousands without work. Then Bill or Hillary coined and enacted the phrase “Politically Correct” which was adopted as America’s improved standard of logic. This of course opened the floodgates to Homosexuals, where never before. God’s Ten Commandments were removed from government and our schools. Disciplining our children was made a felony, as most everything else, but facilitated uncontrolled disorder at many schools. Then came 9-11, but without godly protection as previously enjoyed. Then the war, whether you agree or not, we moved to allow a society of known terrorists from within to acquire citizenship. Home Land Security then moved to broadened their scope by secretly spying on innocent ‘Americans, which is currently under investigation today. Today’s news, California denies a marriage licenses between a man and women, as found on the Christian Collation website and others. The Constitution of the United States has been silenced while Congress continues to legislate whereby making it of little effect. Supreme Justices are seated if they agree with legislators while being interrogated, but are expected to legislate instead of enforcing the Constitution. America has turned into a free for all society without restraint. Banks with unethical practices are forced to foreclose while taxpayers are expected to bail them out while ten’s of thousands are losing their homes and life savings. Are you getting the picture yet? Here is one I bet you haven’t heard…America and the and the U.K. are moving ever closer toward the One World Government, which is soon to take effect with a one monetary system also. A conspiracy? Lets just say, believe it or not, this was prophesied hundreds of years ago, but it hasn’t caught the Christians off guard, as this is not for their benefit, but yours.
One has to consider the candidates running and what they stand for ‘morally’, which in the long run, may preserve and bring healing to our way of life and liberties. There are many issues, not just the obvious ones, as we are also morally bankrupt. Therefore, our responsibility is to ensure that the laws of God will always govern the character of any president. This will only insure the prevailing winds of righteousness, justice and our civil liberties by preventing usury, special interest groups and wasteful spending. Paraphrasing, but Obama has already publicly said those who subscribe to the written word of God are idiots, as he misquoted the Bible. Here’s the bottom line. God’s Word clearly tells us of the events coming and is outlined by three prominent people in America, John Hagee, Jack Van Impe and Hal Lindsay. These three men agree that America will not be around when Russia, Iran and China soon attacks Israel. This is not pie in the sky; it’s going to happen, as God cannot lie.
So what should we do? Christian people are to pray and to be sure, be ready for the rapture that is soon to take place! The rest of the world will go through the Great Tribulation that the Bible speaks of.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
Obama has zero experience in executive decisions with his 173 days in office.
Sarah Palin has several years experience and has also implemented them.

http://www.cc.org/commentary/criminalizing_faith
The slippery slope of secular humanism continues to become even more so all around the world. We are quickly moving beyond a mere degradation of social virtues to outright hostility against religion and potential criminalization of adherents who practice their faith in their daily lives.
In recent years we have seen the Dutch government change its laws to allow euthanasia, gay marriage, infanticide of imperfect children, and most recently, the sanctioning of gay polygamous unions.
Gay marriage has become a reality in Canada and Massachusetts. For years our own governments have flirted with passage of so called "hate crimes" legislation that essentially criminalizes individual thoughts by way of adding extra penalties if biases, hatreds or intolerances are perceived in the commission of a crime.
And now the British government is proposing a sweeping new legal code that would forbid discrimination against homosexuals when in the market for "goods and services".
As we know from our own experience in this country with the broad interpretation of our Constitution's language regarding interstate commerce, it’s no leap of logic to deduce that "goods and services" will soon encompass just about any human interaction involving an exchange of money. Its effect will be that of forcing people of faith, be it Christian, Jew or Muslim - pretty much everyone except secular humanists - to act contrary to their religious beliefs in the conduct of their everyday lives, or else become a criminal.
For example, religious schools would commit a crime by not allowing gay students or teachers. Churches that occasionally rent out their facilities for community events would violate the law by not allowing gays the same access - perhaps even to hold same-sex marriage services.
Religious newspapers would violate the law if they refuse to run advertisements for gay lobbying groups. A Christian owned ad agency would be unable to refuse to do work for a campaign promoting gay marriage.
In short, the active practice of one's faith in everyday life would no longer be legal.
Here in the United States, the move by Massachusetts' Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage without so much as a vote by that state's legislature, much less its citizens, has resulted in making the adoption agency practices of the Catholic Church illegal. That being the case, the Church was forced to end providing such services altogether, rather than compromise their faith.
The implications don't stop there. Kansas Senator Sam Brownback recently pointed out that, "...in states with same-sex marriage, religiously affiliated schools, adoption agencies, psychological clinics, social workers, marital counselors, etc. will be forced to choose between violating their own deeply held beliefs and giving up government contracts, tax-exempt status, or even being denied the right to operate at all."
Generally, such proposed legal changes stem from the fact that the secular humanist crowd doesn't see religion as something that should instruct one's daily life and relationships, but rather as simply representative of a place some people go on Sunday. And they have no patience for people who take it more seriously than that.
Someone once said that true tolerance also means having tolerance for the views of the majority. While history is filled with examples of religious intolerances, the greatest levels of intolerance today no longer come from the faithful, but rather from the anti-religious.
Much is made by the left in our country of the First Amendment's establishment clause in our Constitution, which states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...". From bans on prayer in schools, or at publicly sponsored events, to public displays of the Ten Commandments and even the inclusion of the words "under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance, we are told that such observances constitute an establishment of religion and are therefore unconstitutional.
They seem to forget that the very next phrase in the First Amendment states, "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". In other words, it provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Here in this country and abroad, we desperately need fewer politicians and judges working to use the state as a weapon against religious practice, and more that will be vigilant to oppose government actions that prohibit the free exercise of religion in our everyday lives.
America is indeed in trouble, her vulnerabilities are now too numerous to mention. Her democracy is troubled by her unfettered corruption; her moral compass points the way of the harlot, immorality and usury are her companions. Her torchlight of justice and righteousness has all but burned out, and who will restore her to her former glory?
Her freedoms, liberties and resources are squandered to the highest bidder. Her politicians construct laws for control and personal gain. More money they scream, but where are the jobs for soaring taxes? America is becoming a forced socialistic society and few see it, her destiny is giving way to a collapsing society. Her floodgates have swung wide open with unrestrained privileges; while her own goes without a future or security. What will become of America in her wickedness? Will she reinstate morality and righteousness; will she reinstate the Lord, as once was; will she take heed in time for what awaits her?
There must never be a substitute for godly leadership; where humility is never afraid to seek godly wisdom or council in the affairs of a godly nation.
The obvious choice; “John McCain and Sarah Palin” a humble but fearless man with proven integrity and the understanding of actions necessary to see America become healed in a world of uncertainty!
When the [uncompromisingly] righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh. Proverbs 29:2
The Devil is in the details where Obama ridicule those who read and subscribes to the written word of God, where McCain and Palin are God fearing people.

What is the real Sarah Palin like? Look at the few interviews she has offered where follow-ups were allowed. She cannot offer well thought out answers because she has not given any critical thought to important domestic and international issues. Her world view is limited and driven primarily by her fundamentalist religious background. This has been sufficient to get her to the position of governor of a sparsely populated state but it is not adequate qualification (and could be disastrous) for the national level. Another four years back at her Governor's desk in Alaska will not make up for a lifetime of being unprepared. The fact that those closest to her in the campaign have taken to calling her a “diva” and a “whack-job” is further cause for concern.
The Republican Party under George W. Bush has become a free-spending ideological machine. The GOP needs to go in a different direction away from extremist ideological social and reckless foreign policies and back to a conservative fiscal, pro-growth, and pro-personal responsibility platform. Remember that Sarah Palin was chosen to satisfy the extremest side of the party because John McCain was considered too moderate.
The United States of America is (and should always be) an elite nation of the world. Those in charge of our country should come from among the best and brightest intellects our country has to offer. Sarah Palin is not one of their ranks. I hope for the good of the nation that Sarah Palin is a flash in the pan for national politics. Something tells me, regrettably, that the extreme right wants to make her their lead voice. That is why the Republican party needs to change direction.
