Pullout From Iraq
I do not how many of you were paying attention to the battle in the house over John Murtha’s demand to pull out our troops immediately from Iraq, but you should have been watching closely. This was not a victory for either the Republicans or the Democrats, but it was a great victory for the people! You should be aware that most Democrats wanted very badly to vote with John Murtha to remove our troops from Iraq, but they were fully aware of what you, the people wanted. They knew that if they voted for the pull out, their political futures would be in jeopardy. The three that did vote for the pullout (Jose Serrano of New York, Robert Wexler of Florida and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia) should consider their political future. Those of you who voted these individual into office should seriously consider if these politicians are properly representing you when they come up for re-election. The same should be said for John Murtha. It seems as though his views no longer represent the views of those he serves. The important thing to remember is that these officials are elected to serve you. You do not serve them! Their futures depend on your vote.
Consider what would happen if we were to pull out of Iraq before the Iraqi’s are able to protect their self. The government would fall quickly. Again, as before, literally millions would be slaughtered for their support of the westerners. A radical Islamic government would be set up. Those military that we trained would be given a choice, join the radical movement or die. The movement would then move into all the surrounding countries. Millions more will be slaughtered. Oil will be cut off. With the extremely limited flow of oil, the entire world would grind to a halt. With unlimited oil reserves, the radicals would be able to spread their tyranny through out the world. Once the oil reserves of the west run dry, there will be no way to stop this tyranny from coming to U.S. soil. Twelve hundred deaths in three years would be nothing compared to the blood bath that would occur here! Is this what you want for the future of your sons and daughters? Mark my words, this is entirely possible!
I know how hard this is to swallow, but we are in the beginning stages of World War III. History has shown us many times that if we just sit on our butts and watch, we will be hit hard on our own soil. Everyone must face the fact that this war will not be ending anytime soon. Live with it. No one wants war, even the so called war mongers. But those that believe that we can win by appeasement are dangerously wrong. Look back in history. Every result of appeasement has ended in death or being overrun. In the case of this war, the enemy does not want to rule us, they want to kill us. They make us aware of their intentions every day, we just need to listen to them. A Democratically run government is an isolationist government. Check your history books if you think I am wrong. A Democratically run government, by their policies, not by their intent, would lead to the destruction of our liberties, our freedoms, our futures and possibly, our very existence. Freedom, by its very nature, demands sacrifice. The wise of us have lived through this history of sacrifice. The younger of us have had this freedom, by our sacrifice, handed to them on a silver platter. Our liberal schools have not taught them of the cost to be free. It has been left to us, the parents, to teach them. I am not sure that we have taught very well!
If you want to remain free, If you want your children to remain free, then you must teach them our proper history, not the liberal schools version of it. You must teach them the cost and possible sacrifice of freedom, then all must bear the cost…I do mean all! You must vote to keep a Christian conservative government in tact. I dm not concerned if Democrat or Republican, as long as they are Christian conservatives. Hillary Clinton is NOT a Christian conservative, not even close!!! If you think we need a woman President, then consider Condoleezza Rice. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condoleezza_Rice)(Condi vs Hilary: The next Presidential Race by Dick Morris $17.13 at www.amazon.com) Considering her accomplishments, She would be an ideal President. Food for thought.
Until next time as always
God bless and keep our troops safe
God bless America
PS- A small tidbit of information for you on the vote held in the House on immediate troop pullout from Iraq. Remember, the vote was 403 to 3 against the pullout. Also remember, if you have been paying attention to event, that the Democratic party has been screaming and crying for a pullout of troops for more than a month. (Another ploy to destroy the President by the resulting loss of the war.) In a brilliant move, the Republicans issued a “put up or shut up” issue before the house to vote on. In a classic Democratic move, the overwhelming majority of the Democratic House “cut and run!” Only three held fast to their beliefs and voted “yes” Strange as it may seem, I have more respect for these three than I do for the “cut and runners.” Six others got stuck in neutral and voted “present.” These aren’t even worthy of a discussion. Now for the big question!! Do you want a party in control of government that will “cut and run” at the first sign of pressure?? These libs couldn’t even hold true to their beliefs on a simple vote of confidence! What will they do when handling world war III which is now upon us. Will they “cut and run” and leave the entire world to be slaughtered by the ememy? Your decision… decide wisely! The future freedom of the world is at atake!! (Updated: 11/22/05)

A Call To Action
I have made a very serious and deliberate decision that I hope will make some small mark on our future. In order to start down this path, I will need your help. If you should choose not to help, I will completely understand. I personally think I am totally crazy and am biting off much more than I can chew.
I have created this new website as a blog for religious conservatives. Its email address is viewfinder@viewfinderweb.com . If you wish to help, please add it to your contacts list. If you do add my new email account, you will be receiving a lot of email, both political and religious from me. I ask you to forward it to all you know, after you have read it. If, at any time, you believe it to be way out of bounds or is in any way threatening, please stop forwarding and delete the new email address from your contacts list.
The reason for the new email address is to remain anonymous. Just about all I plan to write about will be very inflammatory to an already very angry and hateful group of individuals and special interest groups. This is an attempt to keep my friends and family protected from any possible repercussions from these groups.
The scope of my mental craziness is to attempt to convince the masses of Christian faiths and beliefs of all political persuasions whose families are rooted in the values of those faiths that their futures, and the futures of their children and their children’s children are in extreme danger of being wiped out! I shall attempt to convince them that many of the political leaders that they elected to office are evil men and women devoted to the cause of removing every aspect of Christianity from every aspect of everyday life. I will attempt to show that these elected officials are using your own tax dollars to finance special interest groups dedicated to destroying your way of life. Again, you may think I am loony, but it is happening now. It has been happening, quietly, for decades. You may not know it yet, but you are at war with these people and if you do not wake up and see the light, you will have lost everything before you even have a chance to fight back.
The elections of 2000 and even more visible, the elections of 2004, along with my observations and conversations have absolutely convinced me that ninety percent or better of the population of this great country are religious conservatives, regardless of what political affiliation they claim. Some just don’t know it yet, or afraid of repercussions if they publicly announce it. As in my letters prior to the 2004 elections, I like to call them the “silent majority”. The problem is that their continued silence will be their downfall!
My plan is to establish this support website and to publish as many articles as I can to help that silent majority to gain interest in politics and to guide them in learning as much as they can in the political arenas that they need to be educated in, to make them aware of the distinct religious connections to politics and the evil politicians that are a direct threat to them and their beliefs. I will attempt to educate them as to who shares their Christian beliefs and values and who do not. There are many dangerous men and women in high political office that hide their devious intentions with professions of faith and church membership. OUR ENEMY IS AMOUNG US!!! WE ARE AT WAR WITH A CUNNING AND DEVIOUS ENEMY THAT PROTESTS TO SERVE AND PROTECT US!! The only way to win is to raise our voices and make ourselves heard! We need to register to vote and VOTE in each and every election no matter how small or no matter what it involves. We need to vote these people out of office and DEMAND that those we vote into office do the job we put them in office to do. We must continue to elect those conservatives with the deep religious convictions and faiths that we share to office. Beware of the so called “moderate” conservatives. Some are far left of conservative.
I apologize… as you can see, I have very deep convictions on this subject. If you agree with only half of what I am attempting to do, then I will need your help. A portion of this letter along with more information will soon be in your email. More articles will follow, just a few at first, increasing as time goes by. Please read them all. Forward those to all that you know, only if you do not find them offensive. If you feel you may be sticking your neck out, don’t forward them and let me know if you want to stop receiving more. Those that wish to do harm will look for the source, not the forwards, but there is no guarantee on this. Individuals that have forwarded controversial material have, on occasion received hate mail. I personally expect to receive tons of it in the near future.
God bless our troops that are fighting and dieing to keep us free. I hope that we can prove to be as brave and steadfast in our fight here. What little we can do here will work to save more of our young men and women over there and bring more of them safely home to us. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Just another clarfication…
I find myself having to clarify my position and my views on what my goals are. I will try to do a better job this time.
As I stated before, I try to be as Christian as I can. I am not very good at it. On God’s list of good Christians, I would probably be at the very bottom. I am not doing this to secure a place in heaven. I am not doing this to redeem myself in the eyes of my friends and family. I am who I am. I do not look at myself as God’s messenger. This message is my own, spawned from what I have observed in my life’s travels. I see what I perceive as right and wrong. I perceive what I see as good for this country and what I see as a danger to this country. I have issues with many of the so-called leaders of the evangelistic Christian society and have just as many concerns. I feel they are doing almost as much harm as the liberals. Any Christian leader that condemns an entire city to the devil just because of a decision not to his liking is not a Christian. Any Christian leader who states to the world that God will take him if he cannot reach certain financial goals is not a Christian. Any Christian that enamors himself inside multimillion dollar “glass Cathedrals” is not a true Christian. These types of leaders only do harm to the cause of Christianity and embolden their enemies! Just as politicians are elected to serve the people, so are our religious leaders. To serve ones self is not to serve God! I do not protest to serve God. I am not a good enough Christian.
I am doing what, in my mind, I feel is right. I see the leftist, radical liberals that hold power in this country and I observe what they hold as their idea of values. I see their intentions and what they are succeeding in doing and fear that they might just succeed overall! Their game plan is very clear and they are moving forward steadfastly. I see what the restrictions placed on Christianity have done to our society. Over the decades, as Christianity has been removed from our schools and our politics, I have seen our society fall into decadence and evil. Crime is ever increasing as the values we were taught as children are missing in today’s population. The dignity of man and the proud essence of what he should be is gone. The strength from within to overcome the difficulties of life and to instill this strength into his children is gone. Today’s society blames the world on their personal failings. The spirit to fight back is non-existent. Everyone wants a handout. They want life handed to them. This is the end result of the liberal radical’s all out war against Christianity. This is the future of the liberal society. It stands to reason that it is conservative Christianity that had given mankind the drive and the values that made humanity so great! My effort is a feeble, almost inconsequential attempt to restore that which we have lost. I say “lost” because almost no effort to reverse this trend has been mounted by the religious conservative since it began in 19471 Yes… It began in 1947(Must read book- One Nation Under Man?: The Worldview War Between Christians and the Secular Left by Brannon Howse). Finally some are beginning to realize just how serious this war is. Too many still do not believe that there even is a war! Others just say, “I prefer to mind my own business.” Or “I don’t really care.” This attitude is why the left has had so much success. This attitude will leave our children to do this battle for us, and with the schooling and parental upbringing our children are receiving today, I fear they are not up to the task! Woe to the parent who leaves his battles to his children to fight!
If I have not made myself and my intentions clear, I apologize. For some individuals, mostly those that lean to the left, getting through to is impossible. These are easily brainwashed and have no thoughts or ideas of their own, so they borrow from others, usually ideas that support the notion that life is unfair and everyone else is to blame. One of many results of a liberal education! These are lost souls, and cannot be saved from their ideology. My target is those souls that are able to think for them selves and believe in doing rather than complaining. Souls that still have some remnants of deep faith and secure values. Souls that believe that they have a voice and are willing to use that voice to exact change. Basically, souls that believe as I believe.
Great news… My website will be up and running by Saturday thanks to the tremendous talents of my daughter. The website is www.viewfinderweb.com. Work will always be “still in progress” as situations change constantly. Lots of material, lots of information. I hope it will be a guide in your decisions in religion and politics.
As always,
God bless and keep our troops safe!
The Media Slant
These days we rely heavily on radio, television and the newspaper to keep us informed of the world around us. The media is well aware that they have a captive audience. In the old days only the newspaper and radio kept us informed. Along came Television and FM radio. The big three dominated television and radio, then only television. Fm radio all but buried the AM band but for the advent of talk radio and the first original talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The big three had a firm monopoly on the news until cable TV came along. The only news on the big three (ABC; NBC; CBS) was as liberal as it could get. If you wanted conservative news, you had to look to the newspaper, many of them being liberal in their own right.
AM radio talk shows and cable TV changed everything. Finally, news that that was not slanted so far to the left. This was also a big boost for conservative politicians. They now had a media in which they could voice their views to the public, competing with the left wingers. Conservative viewpoints quickly gained the support of the vast majority of evangelical Christians who liked what they heard and saw. A news source that was more in line with their faiths and beliefs was sorely needed. Competition from the liberal media was weak, at best. They held firm to the belief that the majority of the country held their own leftist beliefs. Even today, as conservative news is steam rolling right over them, liberal news media still holds fast to their radical liberal ideology. Conservative news programs and talk shows maintain astonishing leads over liberal news today and this lead continues to grow. But, don’t try to convince the liberals of that. They will refuse to believe you.
The absolute best news program I have found is Fox News. Although they are a conservative media, they still give the liberals a chance to air their views. Try to find that in a liberal news show. Fox News has liberal hosts and liberal consultants to help keep a non-biased flavor to its programming. If you are a conservative Christian, or even middle of the road, I strongly recommend Fox News. I have many favorites in the talk show arena. My absolute favorite is the Sean Hannity Show. He also hosts a one hour stint on Fox News in the evenings. He is deeply religious, and protests values that we all wish we had. Definitely worth listening to ‘three hours a day, every day’ as he likes to say. My next favorite is Sassy Tammy Bruce. I swear, she’s a woman after my own heart. She’s so correct it hurts. I also listen to Rush Limbaugh a lot. When it comes to politics, he is by far the best. He sometimes veers off into other subjects in which I believe he is not very knowledgeable and I sometimes have to turn him off when he wanders from politics, but in the political arena he has no equal. There are others of worthy note; G. Gordon Liddy, Lora Ingram; Rick Davis and others. By far there are many more conservative talk show hosts that liberal, and all are extremely popular. You will have to check your local listings for stations and times as they are spread across the country. They are all on satellite radio, a worthwhile investment if you feel the price is right.
Ethics In The Whitehouse
As I go about doing my day job, I am privileged to be able to listen to the radio. I have become addicted to conservative talk shows and listen to them and the news for literally hours every day. (I give myself a break on weekends). I have been noticing a small but disturbing trend of so called conservatives expressing their dismay at the Republican White House and ethics. Many are echoing the left wing hate propaganda and calling President Bush a liar and the White House unethical. I question the truth of these individuals as conservatives. They are spewing left wing views and in my eyes can only be liberals themselves. The problem is that this kind of liberal slander is beginning to take hold in the population, and this is dangerous.
I understand the dismay of many over the war. Wars take their toll on most of the population as time drags on. The death of our young men and women in battle far away breaks all of our hearts, even if we know no one in the military personally. The longer a war goes on, the harder it is for us to keep our commitment to it. Unfounded questions of why we are in Iraq over cloud the much broader war on terrorism. This is also unfounded as one must understand the broader war on terrorism. I will address this at a later date.
The liberal wing of the democrat party has, over the last forty years or so, ceased to be a majority in both the House and the Senate. The only gubernatorial positions they have been able to hold are in the few large metropolitan cities, and even here, their power is quickly waning. The truth be told, they have lost their power because of their unpopular, out-of-the-mainstream beliefs. They fully realize this. They cannot understand it, but they realize it. In an effort to maintain the power that they have lost, they have launched a massive slander campaign to degrade as many of the top political chain of the Bush White House as possible. Never mind if it be true. Truth does not matter. Getting their power back does. We see evidence of it with House Majority Leader Tom Delay. Then there is Vice Presidential Aide Scooter Libby and Presidential Aide Tom Rove.
The arrogant and self serving left wing liberal establishment is to attack every member of the Bush administration with unsubstantiated claims of corruption and wrong doing. Push these claims hard enough to get a grand jury investigation and, hopefully, an indictment. The claims do not have to be true, just remotely possible. This would hopefully result in those indicted having to step down. One must remember, an indictment is not a presumption of guilt, but only a possibility of such. The resulting necessity for these members to step down from their positions will hopefully, in the minds of the liberals, cause a systematic upheaval in the Bush administration and a resulting loss of the Republican’s ability to run the government. The sad thing is that all of these accused politicians will eventually be found innocent of these allegations, but the damage will be done. The image of corruption in government will be burned into the minds of the populace, and the careers of these accused individuals will be destroyed. Another plot uncovered by Fox News’ Sean Hannity discusses the timing of a possible investigation into pre-war Iraq intelligence in such a way that it could bring maximum embarrassment to President Bush in his re-election campaign. Among other things, the memo recommends that Democrats “prepare to launch an investigation when it becomes clear we have exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the [Senate] majority. We can pull the trigger on an independent investigation of the administration’s use of intelligence at any time — but we can only do so once … the best time would probably be next year.” The last paragraph of the memo reads, “Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public’s concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq.” The document is believed to have been written by the Democratic staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee Jay Rockefeller that outlines a strategy for exposing what it calls “the administration’s dubious motives” in the lead-up to the war in Iraq. It’s quite clear that the Democrats will do everything in their power to destroy the present administration, regardless of the dander it poses on our troops.
Although the Bush administration may not have foreseen every problem or waged a problem free war, they can in no way be accused of having an unethical administration. They have always been as candid and forthcoming as they could.
Now, if one wants to discuss ethics in the Whitehouse, Consider the eight year reign of former President Clinton. One could fill an encyclopedia with questionable ethics of this man. One full chapter could be filled with his affairs, including Paula Jones, who had filed suit against Clinton for allegedly sexually harassing her in 1991, and Gennifer Flowers, whose allegations of a 12-year affair with Clinton rocked the 1992 presidential campaign. And then there was that political sex scandal emerging from a short-term sexual relationship between Bill Clinton and a then 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The news of this extra-marital affair and the resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998. The investigation eventually uncovered about 12 to 15 women by name spanning his political career. Some medical experts refer to him as a sex addict. This must be the liberal term for a sexual predator. Should we even mention the Whitewater scandal? My most curious concern would be to ask where his wife was during his political career. I wonder if this is how she would run the White House if elected to the Presidency in 2008.
Why We Are At War
It is amazing the way facts are distorted and evidence is ignored in the ongoing effort to destroy the Bush administration. The liberal democrats are spinning like a top trying to topple this administration. Truth and the democrats has become an oxymoron. To say the liberal democratic party is being truthful is an insult. Facts mean nothing. Evidence is twisted or down right ignored. Through out enough lies and distortions for a long enough time and some of it is bound to stick. Guess what… it’s working.
Now for some logic, what are the odds of the American, British, German, French and Italian Intelligence services all receiving bad intelligence? These are all top in their fields and all have their own separate sources. Why would Saddam Hussein risk certain invasion and certain downfall if he did not have WMD in his country? Why were the weapons inspectors constantly delayed and detoured for days at a time from inspecting certain sites? Do you remember the intercepted cell phone call from two Iraqi officers discussing the removing of material from a certain site just prior to the arrival of inspectors? The Iraqi government was always two steps ahead of the weapons inspectors at every turn, removing and sanitizing sites prior to their scheduled visit. The weapons inspectors were required to submit their schedule to the Iraqi government the day prior to inspections. I wonder why?
“Bush Lied!” and “Bush deceived us and did not give us all the information!” I have only one thing to say considering this propaganda. You have elected these individuals to their posts. You assume that they are intelligent enough to think for themselves and not rely on the opinions of someone else. They all have the same security clearances and, if they are doing their job, have their own sources along with those shared by the President. History shows that they do not hesitate to differ with the President in almost everything thing else. Why then did nearly all of them agree with the Presidents assessment of intelligence information? The answer was because their intelligence sources indicated the same thing. I would not re-elect anyone to office that does not have the capacity to decide for themselves and live with that decision… right or wrong! The excuse that they relied on the word of the President to make their decision does not hold water as they have fought him tooth and nail on every other issue!
The Iraqi government had months to prepare the evacuation of WMD’s from their country. Why do you think the constant foot-dragging at the U.N.? Satellite photos showed constant convoys of military trucks heading toward the Syrian boarder. Wonder what they were transporting? Most of the top Iraqi government officials that remain in the “deck of cards” are now in Syria. Wonder Why?
Enough of WMD’s for now. Let’s consider the man himself. Lets assume that he had no WMD’s. He did have them. He did use them against the Iranian’s and against his own people. He was working hard to reconstitute them. He hated the U.S. and the decadent west. Question: If he were able to rebuild his WMD’s, would he be willing to sell them to anyone else who hated the west as much as he? Would you be willing to take that chance?
Lets consider the more than half a million Iraqi’s that were tortured and killed by this dictator. Evidence indicates that the death toll is much higher… possibly more than double! Let’s also consider his thirst for more and more power. Remember his nearly decade long was with Iran? Millions died in that conflict. Then of course, his invasion of Kuwait. Who could forget that one, not to mention his intentions to move from there into Saudi Arabia. Wonder what the world would be like now if we had not stopped him? Wonder what the price of oil would be now if we had ignored his rampage? Some food for thought, don’t you think?
Now remember, this is a war on terrorism. Object, to eliminate the possibility of WMD’s getting into the wrong hands, to deprive the enemy of a place to take a stand. To find and remove the root cause that breeds terrorism. Does this sound like it will be a short war? One other thing to remember… The terrorists are moving into the Iraqi area from all around the globe to fight the infidels. As long as they are there fighting us, they are not here fighting us. Where would you rather have them… there or here? Should we pull our troops out now? You do have the ultimate decision. Fight them there, or fight them here.
