2012

This will be a short post.  Conservatives and the tea party may influence the 2010 elections and republicans politics.  But there is no way that they will guarantee the Republicans the 2012 presidential elections.  Conservatives have never delivered a presidential elections. 

Conservatives and moderates need to work together to delivered 2012 presidential election for the republicans.  They better start doing it now.  They also need to come up new presidential hopefuls.  The re-treads from 2008 will not cut.  Republicans need to do better.

British defense cuts

The below link is to a article about upcoming defense cuts with the british defense budget.  This should be a major concern to all Americans for two reasons.  A major Allied military forces will be gutted.  Losing a military allied with forces with their own unique capabilities.  Also a highly professional force too.  This will also put a major burden on future military operation by this country because we lost such a strong partner.

Also this could also be a forcast of things to come if we do not get our budget under control.  Remember social and domestic growth in our budget is what putting a burden on us.  You can cut our defense budget the same way and it will not give us any major relief on our debt or deficit.

After the mid-terms

If the republicans make major gains or wins both the house and senate they need take it as a mandate.  What has happen is a repeat of 2008, but in a compressed time frame and different reasons.  Things turned on Obama because the people who got him elected, did not know how to run a administration.  Obama was inexperienced in government and the politics in government.  Obama is also more egotistic then over confident. 

Obama though he had a mandate and he did not.  Obama asked too much of a congress that was mostly made up of moderate democrats who were in majority.  He did not give them political coverage when he pushed his budget busting agenda.

So the republicans do not really have a mandate.  The republicans or the Tea party movement has not presented a coherent comprehensive to deal with the deficit or debt.  The democrats has not done so either.  I do not see the republicans presenting one now or 2012.  That is what scares me. 

9/11 and tolerance

‎9/11 changed my life. Like Pearl Harbor, 9/11 was an attack on this country. We know who the threat is and where they come from. We know where they get their beliefs and inspiration. We do not need to be understanding to their cause, but we need to be aware. It is others in their cause who need to prove they are not a threat to this country and christians worldwide.

Muslims are not tolerant.  So call moderate muslims need to do more to show me that islam is not a threat to other religions and faiths.  But mainly are not a threat to countries that are not islamic republics.

Be careful for what you ask for

As of right now the GOP appears to make major gains in the house and senate.  Possibly winning the majority in both.  I hope they are ready to hit the floor running.  They better have a plan of action to work with the President to get things done.  Reform government, cut spending,  reform our tax cut, keep big business accountable for their actions, reform medicare and medicaid and finish our involvement in Afghanistan.

They cannot try to stay in power by blaming Obama, they must take action, they must work with Obama and force him to sign laws they pass.  They must present a strong presidential candidate  who is not just a media figure.  Winning in 2010, is no guarantee for 2012.

Glen Beck's Rally

Today is the day of the big Rally honoring our troops in Washington DC.  I applaud all my friends that are going to it from the Lafayette Indiana area.  These are good people, as is everyone else going.  They are showing their love and support for the member of our armed forces and this country.  While the main person sponsoring this is a Radio commentator, who has, as other have connected with a large segment of this country who feel that the government does not liston to them and respond to their concerns.  When they got extremely vocal about it, then they are called extremist, racist and homophobic.  Any African-Americans who participate in this are then called uncle toms.  While I personally am not involved in this event, I applaud and support the efforts of Americans who are standing up to what they feel is the wrong direction of this country.  I however would warned them when there is change in leadership are you still going to be there to insure change is done and everyone takes their medicine not matter how bad it taste.

Question

With the recent revealation by the former GOP Director that he was Gay has added to a question that has been brewing in my mind.   The question is broken down to several points.  In a consitutional way define Homosexuality?  What is the consitutional metric for Homosexuality to be define as to be protected under the consitution?  Who makes the determination if  person is homoxexual and how and when he is covered consitutionally. 

This leads to the second part of my question.  When there is a violation, how can you prove that the person who did the violation know the person is gay if there is not outward physical sign unless the person self admits and how do you prove that the gay person is telling a truth or not.

Please let me know if you know the answer please?
