Vote Responsibly

10/27/04


I am writing today to the people that have not yet made up their minds about who to vote for next Tuesday. I say to you that if you value the American way of life, if you do not want you children or grandchildren to be praying to Mecca 5 times a day, if you enjoy the fact that women have rights in this country then you better think long and hard about your choice.

I saw a car today with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on it. The sticker said Kerry/Edwards for "A Safer America." A Safer America? How? If you think that having a more sensitive war is safer, if you think that treating World War IV as a nuisance is safer, then yes, Kerry/Edwards would give you a Safer America. If not, however, you better choose the other team.

George W Bush is a wartime president. If you doubt that, ask the three thousand dead from September 11, 2001. Ask the Taliban and ask Saddam Hussain. If you are one of those who think that war never settles anything go find a Carthaginian and ask him or her about it.

War has been declared on this country. Osama Bin Laden said so. He is not the only enemy we have. He is important to America because of 9/11 but he in the overall picture, he is just a player in the show. There are many Islamic Fundamentalist groups that are out there waiting for us. Until we are able to complete this war, we will never be fully safe. That being said, is there any real doubt that the current administration has been able to at least curtail the violence in this country?

The terrorists have said they intend to kill Americans in large numbers. The is little doubt that they have been trying. So far, so good. Unfortunately, that is likely all we could ever honestly be able to say. Kerry wants to use the law enforcement approach to resolving terrorism. Ask him how he will prosecute the suicide bombers. If you think that sending the Sheriff or even the FBI out after Islamic Terrorist will do the job, then you need to stay home. I really don't want you to endanger the lives of millions of guiltless Americans with your uninformed vote.

Although there is no right to vote in the Constitution, that privilege is one that should be guarded ceaselessly. To waste your vote is a shame. If you do go to the polls, think about the safety of your fellow citizens and your descendants. Think about what message you send to the enemies of America if you vote the way the terrorist would like you to. If you doubt that, ask yourself if you were a terrorist, would you want someone that says he will arrest you or someone that says he will kill you and topple the government that supports you.

Vote for the one that will keep your safer.

Vote for George W Bush.
