Politics: Believe it or not!

I have some issues I would like to discuss about the forthcoming election: First, that Bush...YES Bush...is the right man for the job!

President Bush has made expanding homeownership a top priority. The home is the most important single investment most Americans will ever make. It is the foundation for a better tomorrow. Under President Bush, America's homeownership rate has reached a record level of 69.2 percent, with 73.4 million families now owning their own homes. For the first time, a majority of minority families own their own homes.

In his first term, the President set a goal to increase the number of minority homeowners by 5.5 million families by the end of the decade, and we are on track to meet that goal. The President has set a new goal of creating 7 million new, affordable homes in the next decade through:

Improving Our Nation' Air Quality - President Bush' Clear Skies legislation would dramatically improve air quality by reducing power plants emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and mercury by approximately 70 percent over the next 15 years, more than any other clean air initiative. This historic proposal will bring cleaner air to Americans faster, more reliably, and more cost-effectively than under current law.

I would like to do in next little bit is show you the facts about the war in Iraq that faces our country and who would be the best man to deal with it.Some say the war was about oil, money, weapons of mass destruction, or imperalism. let me say from someone who has studied military conflicts, doctorine, politics, and nations for years, the war in Iraq was about freedom, freedom for the 25 million people who lived so long under a tyranical dictator that killed his own citizens. We did go in to find weapons of mass destruction because reguardless of what the media has said it has been confirmed many times. I would like anyone who doubts the the check out the site www.fas.org and look on the section about iraqs weapons programs. I asure you that Saddam possesed wmd but put your self in his shoes. What would you do if you had the greatest army in the world knocking on your door, answer: get ride of them!! He obvisouly some how got rid them before we arrived. He had then in the 90's and Violated many UN resolutions reguarding them. So those of you who think he did not, the facts: he did. The next thing I have heard alot of talk that Bush got us into this war just for "fun", listen to what you are saying, I pray we never enter into war for "fun" and i can assure you that this was surely not the case in Iraq, I am well aware of America's Foriegn policy and let me tell you we cannot let Hitler's or Stalins or even Hussans run around the world unchecked. He violated UN orders therefore because some of the world was to weak politicaly to respond effectively then the US, England, and our allies from around the world responded in there sted. That would make us hero's not imperialists. Think about this if we were going to turn Iraq into a pupet state then why would we be constantly striving to give it legitament elections, the facts: we are trying to help. Reguardless of how the media (which feeds of the bad to sell there news) portrays Iraq the majority of the people there thank the US and our allies for what we did. They have more freedoms and power to govern themselves now than they ever did. They also many of lifes essentials that money didn't have before...I.e. Water, Power, Food. It is our job being the only world superpower to aid the developing countries of the world to become stable democracy's because if we don't they could become a threat to our national security and a breeding ground for terrorists. For those that criticized the war in iraq I have a quote I would like to you read: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), "Man in the Arena" Speech given April 23, 1910. That man in the speech represents the United states of America. Thank you for your time, I will discuss other major issues in the coming posts. Thank you and God bless.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
