No Secret Who The Brits Want As US President

Sep 21, 2008 Political

It is no secret who the politicians in the UK want to be the next American President. Despite their claim of having no preference or remaining neutral their actions and their statements about the race speak much louder than words. Gordon Brown recently gave an endorsement of Barack Obama but then nuanced his words so as to appear neutral. Recent polls show that many of the major countries around the world (including all the Muslim ones) want Obama to win. Now Communities Secretary Hazel Blears of the UK has chimed in and called Sarah Palin Horrendous. This is so because Palin appeals to people who are disillusioned with “regular politics.”

By regular politics I assume she means the politics where elected officials line their pockets with money from investment companies and other Wall Street entities, ignore the criminal activity occurring, get their friends jobs in those companies so they get rich and then stand around pointing fingers at each other while whole system collapses and is paid for by taxpayers.

Or maybe Blears means politics where those elected in the UK to uphold English law succumb to demands of an ever growing Muslim population and allow Sharia Law (a religious law) to be practiced in the country. Maybe she means standing by and watching as your country rapidly dissolves into an Islamic state while those who oppose Islam or support the US are bombed.

In any event, it is not for Blears, or the rest of the world, to decide. This decision belongs to Americans and Americans alone and it does not matter what the rest of the world thinks about who we elect. Blears, Brown and the rest of these people should concern themselves with the rapid decline of their countries and let us worry about our elections.

I think the world can see by now what being soft on the radical Islamic terrorists does and Pakistan’s inability to control it has played out this weekend as the death toll keeps rising in the hotel bombing. Maybe the rest of the world wants a President Obama begging negotiating with the thugs who cause these problems but I prefer someone who will do more than just scream racism when confronted with adversity.

Pretty soon when Blears, Brown, and every other person in the UK is kneeling to Mecca five times a day they can beg President McCain and Vice President Palin for help. If we don’t view the people asking as horrendous, we might actually help.

Given the horrendous invasion of privacy in the UK, the horrendous dental care, the horrendous medical care, the horrendous cost of everything and the horrendous appeasement of terrorists, I would think Blears would concern herself with those issues and not a person who lives up to our Founder’s wishes.

A citizen who is like the rest of us and serves the people. If we could just replace ALL the current politicians with “regular” Americans, this country would run a lot better.

Gun Control Would Prevent This

Jan 2, 2008 General

Here is a story from the Sun UK. I copied the entire piece because there is no link to it. It tells of several shooting and a couple of deaths because of gun violence. If only there were gun laws to prevent this sort of thing…

A MAN was killed and another critically injured in a suspected gangland shooting on New Year’s Eve.

The murder victim, 26, was sitting in a parked car with three men when the killer strode up and fired a hail of bullets at them.

A third man cheated death when a bullet grazed his head and a fourth emerged unscathed.

The terrified pals drove to hospital following the 5.30pm carnage in Crumpsall, Manchester. The 26-year-old died shortly afterwards. His 27-year-old pal was seriously ill in hospital last night with wounds to his back.

The gunman, who fled the quiet suburban road on foot, was still at large last night. Another man aged 42 was blasted in the back in an unrelated shooting at 6.30pm on New Year’s Eve in Trafford, Manchester. Four men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

A 23-year-old reveller also survived being stabbed in the throat in the city’s Rusholme area.

And in Anfield, Liverpool, a man aged 28 was shot in the stomach.

Oh wait, the UK has very strict gun laws. My friends over there told me how they had to turn their guns in (they were reimbursed) so that gun crimes would drop. Looks like the people who break the law did not get the memo or they ignored the law. Imagine that!

Gun control laws do not stop gun crimes because people who would obey the law are not the ones who would use guns to commit crimes in the first place. Too bad people are not bright enough to see this. Politicians know it is true but they also know that an armed citizenry is a free one and they want to be able to impose their will on us so they are trying to get rid of the guns. This is particularly true of Democrats who want to have us work to provide money for them so they can administer every aspect of our lives.

The UK, gun free and even more dangerous.
