I Fear Americans Have Made A Very Dangerous Mistake!
Well the Presidential election has come and gone, and I can't say that I am feeling very confident about the winner. I was and still am a fan and supporter of John McCain. I honestly feel that the citizens of America that voted Obama into office have made a great mistake. A mistake that was guided completely upon the color of the man's skin. So many people were so desperate to make history by electing the first black person as President in the history of this great nation, that I feel their desire blinded them to much more important issues.This is a time of grave danger for this country in the world's eye. We have Muslim enemies that wish nothing more than to see this country destroyed completely and all Americans struck dead. They have proven this over the years and have proven that they will stop at nothing in order to achieve this, even if it means taking their own lives to do it.This is certainly not a time to elect a "Terrorist Friendly" President, or a president that is weak and inexperienced when it comes to defense. But that is certainly what has been done. Not only has a president that is weak and inexperienced in defense been elected into office, but a president who has basically zero experience in leadership. This fact certainly cannot be disputed by anyone. Obama has led absolutely nothing in his lifetime that qualifies him to lead this nation.As I watched the news on election night, and saw when they announced that Obama had officially won the election. For the first time ever I saw the American news agency "CNN" show a live feed of the people in Africa celebrating in the streets wildly the victory of Obama, one would have thought that those too were Americans who had supported Obama. Why on earth would an American news agency show the celebration of people in Africa because a certain candidate won the presidency of The United States Of America? I mean what's it to the people of Africa? Absolutely nothing!At least it should mean absolutely nothing to them, but why does it? I think we will soon find out the answer to that question in the coming months after January 20th 2009. I think when we see Obama pull the American troops from Iraq, we will very soon after that, see Obama order American troops to Africa to try and stop the waring and genocide that is taking place in many parts of Africa.Pulling the troops from Iraq before the goal is achieved, will be a disgrace to all that have served there. It will be a slap in the face to all of the families of those brave American soldiers that have given their lives in Iraq and those that have been wounded. To bring them home before victory is achieved will be the same as sending a message to all of those loved ones of soldiers that gave their lives in Iraq that says; " Sorry we have decided that the war was a mistake and wasn't worth fighting afterall, oops sorry your loved one died for nothing." That is a message this country cannot afford to send again. We sent it after the Vietnam War and it devastated hundreds of thousands of vets and their families.If there is one place on earth that is unworthy of sending American soldiers to fight in, that place is Africa! Anywhere on the continent of Africa. Those are barbaric people, they could care less about the Americans. Many of you may not know, but in 1993 American troops were in Africa. They were in the region near Somalia. They were there to keep peace and aid in the safe distribution of relief food shipments sent from all around the world to aid the starving people in Africa. They were starving because of waring clans in Africa. The worst was headed by a warlord named Muhammed Farah Adid. He was a ferocious warlord and is responsible for the death of millions. American Rangers and other United Nation peacekeepers in the area stood watch over the hungry and gave them protection and food. Then came the day of October 3rd 1993. The Elite 75th rangers 3rd Bat along with members of the also Elite Delta Force, were ordered into the city of Mogadishu, Somalia, actually into the Bakara Market section. We flew in and roped down from Blackhawk Helicopters and in a humvee convoy.Once inside the Barkara Market section, the citizens along with Adid's militia began blocking off the streets behind us with old cars, wagons, tires and setting them on fire, virtually trapping us within the city.They opened fire on American Rangers and Delta Force, a long fight ensued that would last all day and through the night of the 3rd of October and into the morning of the 4th. By the end of the battle (which was the worst battle since the Vietnam War) 19 young American soldiers would lay dead, and another 78 would be wounded, and two Blackhawk Helicopters would be shot down. Some of the bodies of the American soldiers killed in the combat, were taken by the enemy stripped of their uniforms naked, dragged around the dirty streets and hacked to pieces with machetes. Two Congressional Medals Of Honor were posthumously awarded to Sgt. Randy Shugart and Sgt. Gary Gordon, for their greatly heroic acts of leaving the safety of the helicopter they were on high above the action where they were serving as snipers, they requested 3 times to be put on the ground near the site of one of the helicopter crashes so they could protect the injured crewmen who were being advanced upon quickly by hundreds of armed militia. Gordon and Shugart fought gallantly until their last round of ammunition was used at which time the enemy overtook them killing them both. It was the first time a Congressional Medal Of Honor had been awarded since the Vietnam War.The very people we were there to help, turned on us, bit the hand that fed them. After the assault President Clinton ordered all American servicemen out of Africa. A request by General Garrison was made to allow the remaining rangers and delta force to go back into the Bakara Market and hit the enemy back, but the request was denied and all American servicemen were denied the victory over a rag tag militia and ordered home.So should we go back into Africa again to help the people? Absolutely not, but it is quite evident that we will end up there within the next four years if not sooner. And what a disgrace that will be going back to where we had tried to help people before but were shamlessly slaughtered. But now we have a president that has ties in Africa, his father was a muslim from Africa, his grandmother is a muslim that lives still today in Africa.Americans have made a terrible mistake in voting this man into office, I firmly believe that. I firmly believe we will greatly regret it. America brace yourself for a long and bloody war that I feel sure looms like a dark cloud on the horizon. A war to completely stop what is taking place in Africa will take more years and more lives than the war in Iraq ever could. We stand to lose as many lives in Africa in the first few months of battle than we have in Iraq since it began.My last and final word in this column, is how did we as Americans sink so low as to elect a president with no leadership experience, no dedication to this country's values and morals, no service to this country whatsoever, over electing a man that has proven himself all of his life to be a leader? John McCain has served his country all of his life, almost giving his life for this country. He was offered early release from being a prisoner of war in Vietnam because his father was an Admiral in The United States Navy, but John McCain being the dedicated leader he is, refused to accept the early release offered to him by the enemy. He refused the early release because the enemy refused to release his fellow soldiers along with him. He would not leave his fellow soldiers in the hands of the enemy alone. That is the sign of dedication, that is the sign of a proven leader, and that my friends, is the sign of a Great President!

I agree with your comments on Mccain. I felt the same way. What has happened to this country that they dismiss such a man, a man that has served his country his whole life!! To lose is sad but to lose by so much.....heart breaking.
I had a patient come into my pharmacy, a little old man as sweet as he could be. He never says much of anything when he comes in about politics, but he did tell me one day "Ya know, all this talk about the economy, I would rather be poor and safe in my country then rich and always have to worry about terrorist" and ya know he's right!
America at one time was looked upon with great respect but no more, People used to take pride in their country but no more. We used to CARE but NOT ANY MORE. It makes me angry.
To vote for a president based on anything other then his or her qualifications is completely irresponsible. The color or sex of an elected official means nothing to me if they have the best interest of this country, the fact is I do not feel the one we (not me) elected in does.
I can bitch, moan and cry about it but the fact is he is now our president ( as much as I hate it) I just pray he can run this country as smooth as he speaks.
God Bless America, God bless us all ( I wonder how long before they try to take that away from us....GOD)
Jeff, may we as Christian Americans fight to hold on to what this country was founded upon. Thanks for always writing things that make me think. God have mercy on the USA!
