Sarah Palin: We Must Win in Afghanistan

More common sense from Sarah Palin.

For two years as a candidate, Senator Obama called for more resources for the war in Afghanistan and warned about the consequences of failure. As President, he announced a comprehensive new counterinsurgency strategy and handpicked the right general to execute it. Now General McChrystal is asking for additional troops to implement the strategy announced by President Obama in March. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers in harm’s way in Afghanistan right now. We owe it to all those brave Americans serving in uniform to give them the tools they need to complete their mission.

We can win in Afghanistan by helping the Afghans build a stable representative state able to defend itself. And we must do what it takes to prevail. The stakes are very high. The 9/11 attacks were planned in Afghanistan, and if we are not successful there, al Qaeda will once again find a safe haven, the Taliban will impose its cruelty on the Afghan people, and Pakistan will be less stable.

Our allies and our adversaries are watching to see if we have the staying power to protect our interests in Afghanistan. I recently joined a group of Americans in urging President Obama to devote the resources necessary in Afghanistan and pledged to support him if he made the right decision. Now is not the time for cold feet, second thoughts, or indecision — it is the time to act as commander-in-chief and approve the troops so clearly needed in Afghanistan.

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

People often wonder what is the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that Conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while Liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them.

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

Here are some brief rules of thumb:

• If a Conservative sees a U.S.flag, his heart swells with pride.
• If a Liberal sees a U.S. flag, he feels shame.

• If a Conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy them.
• If a Liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one else should have one either.

• If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he won’t eat meat.
• If a Liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

• If a Conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat it.
• If a Liberal see an enemy he wonders what he can do to appease him.

• If a Conservative is homosexual, he’ll quietly enjoy his life.
• If a Liberal is homosexual, he’ll demand everyone get involved in his bedroom activities.

• If a successful Conservative is black or Hispanic, he’ll see himself as having succeeded on his own merits.
• Successful Liberal minorities still claim “racism” and want government to give them even more.

• If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to work to better his situation.
• A Liberal wants someone else to take care of him.

• If a Conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
• If a Liberal doesn’t like a radio show, he demands that the station be shut down or censored.

• If a Conservative is a non-believer, he just doesn’t go to church.
• Non-believing Liberals demand that everyone cease believing and demands churches be censored.

• If a Conservative needs health care, he shops for it, or chooses a job that provides it.
• Liberals demand that everyone else provide him with health care for free.

• If a Conservative sees a law, he thinks long and hard before suggesting a change.
• If a Liberal sees a law he assumes it is just a suggestion and does what he wants anyway.

• Conservatives feel there is a right and wrong.
• Liberals feel that nothing is really wrong… unless it is believed by a conservative.

• Conservatives believe in freedom, responsibility, tradition, and self-reliance.
• Liberals believe in license, government restrictions, upending tradition, and collectives.

Andy Williams: Barack Obama “Wants the Country to Fail”


Andy Williams is right. He must be a racist.

Williams, a lifelong Republican whose hits include Moon River and Music To Watch Girls By, told the Radio Times he thought Mr Obama wanted to turn the US into a “socialist country”.

The 81-year-old was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

“I was very close to Bobby and he asked me to be a delegate for him when he ran for president,” he said.

“He knew about me being a Republican, but just laughed and said, ‘Sign yourself in as a Democrat and then change back afterwards’. Sadly, I never got to do that.

“I was very close to Teddy Kennedy, too, and his death recently brought it all back. What a tragedy. Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president.”

But Williams had a less favourable opinion of the current president.

“Don’t like him at all,” he said, “I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist.

“Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail.”

Politicians, media personalities and conservative activists have accused the US president of espousing socialist ideas.

Earlier this month, Jim Greer, the chairman of the Republican Party in Florida, said he was “absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology”, after the US leader appeared in a televised address to be shown in classrooms around the country.
