Just Overlook the Cheese

Posted by bulldawgy on October 30, 2008 None comments

In the history of the United States of America – there have been few (arguably not any) men who so epitomize the type of person that has earned the opportunity to be president of the United States of America.  John McCain is one such man.  I have not always agreed with his politics – but there is one thing that is undeniable – he is a man of principle.  He gave five years of his life, in service of his country, in a North Vietnamese prison camp.  Think about that – he served his country and the cause of freedom – in an enemy prison camp.  None of us – can understand service like that.  None of us can understand sacrifice like that.

I thought this video was inspiring.  Just overlook the Lee Greenwood cheese at the end.

And when you have watched the video, think about how next week, at this time, the president-elect won’t be the man who champions freedom.  It will be the man who believes that freedom is a mistake.  Our next president will be just five years removed from the Illinois State Senate and just ten years removed from being a glorified community organizer.

Think about it.

Read My Lips

George H.W. Bush, back in the campaign of 1988 uttered those now infamous words: "Read my lips, no new taxes".  Of course, as most people over the age of 35 remember – he did just what he said he wouldn’t do – he raised taxes.  The results can be debated – but an objective view would likely produce the conclusion that the tax increase damaged what was already a fragile economy.

 

Today, we stand at a crossroads.   We can vote for someone who has consistently said that he will raise taxes – Barack Obama.  Or we can choose the candidate who favors – based upon his words at last night’s debate – keeping taxes right where they are.

 

In case you are wondering what bad economic policies can do to an economy, read this article about what poured fuel on the brush fire that became the Great Depression.

 

Vote McCain-Palin.

What a Difference a Day Makes

Or in this case, what a difference six months makes.  Just six months ago, most economists (and economic pundits) would have scoffed at an article such as this.   Not so now.  Careful observation would lead one to believe that these types of articles (i.e. gloom and doom – or we’ll just barely miss gloom and doom) are more and more frequently being produced by far more adept financial minds than Bulldawgy.
