This great George C. Scott introduction from the film Patton is a great compilation of General George S. Patton’s real speeches, many of which he he gave to the troops throughout his WW2 campaign. I place this important clip here as a relevant tribute to the culture of honor, sacrifice, discipline, and valor that has propelled this Nation into the forefront of world History.

The video above is a great clip of The Duke (John Wayne), speaking about the men who died in the Alamo. If you haven’t watched any film about that historic moment in our history, do watch his film (The Alamo).

Below, please find a relevant clip from The Alamo, to give you a small taste of it.

Very few men have come to embody good old fashioned American strength and character like Mr. Wayne did, and irrespective of how many ‘modern’ Americans may feel about his political views, he will always remain a National icon.

This last clip (above) is a somewhat comical but otherwise serious John Wayne, discussing the ‘hippies’ and what it means to be an American man.

I hope you enjoyed all the clips! Please have a wonderful 4th of July!

Most campaigns begin with a basic theme with which they advocate for themselves. Some choose strength, others utilize experience, and a few of them are even presumptuous enough to catapult their entire objectives on a platform of “hope” and “change”. I say presumptuous, because there is little doubt that labeling oneself as a Nation’s “hope”, and as its ‘bonafide’ personification of their “dreams”, betrays an almost pathological self-importance that is doomed to failure, either before or after it destroys those of whom fall under his spell. Like everything in life, all political strategies are a ‘double edged sword’. What is then the ‘Achilles heel’ of such a campaign?

The key word is disillusionment. Any person (or movement) that elevates himself as the ‘know it all’, self righteous “symbol of our dreams” is liable to somewhat disappoint those who felt engaged with said message in the long run. After all, these campaigns are all managed, maintained and advocated by humans, and their inherently flawed natures make them incapable of truly effecting real change, specially considering their their already conditioned realities. Only an alien, who would theoretically have no true cultural connection with our historic reality, would be truly able to present a “change” platform. Thus, a candidate that sells ‘integrity’ will always be dependent on keeping most information about the REALITY that surrounds his/her ‘mortal’ past out of public consumption, or he will pay the price of reminding his supporters that he is nothing more than a person, and more than likely a corrupt one. More often than not, those who actually sell themselves as ’saints’ are the worse kind of people because they lack the humility and honesty to admit that they are themselves flawed and capable of error. As we know, the biggest scam artists and hustlers have always been those who come into our landscape in the best of packages.

Recently, certain aspects of Mr. Obama’s campaign have started to disillusion many of his most rabid supporters, specially on issues on which he had made public pledges that he is now breaking. As we know, the first nail in his coffin (among his supporters at least) was his backpedaling on the matter of public financing on the general election campaign. Many of his Liberal supporters slowly started questioning his judgment on this issue, even regretting sending their money to his “cause” in the first place, since it was obvious to them that his success in fundraising had been the cause for his reversal. Today, this number of disappointed supporters has increased into the thousands.

A recent issue that has caused this ‘internal revolt’ is Senator Obama’s decision to support legislation granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated with the Bush administration’s program of wiretapping without warrants. The New York Times reported that in recent days, “more than 7,000 Obama supporters have organized on a social networking site on Mr. Obama’s own campaign Web site, calling on Mr. Obama to reverse his decision to endorse legislation supported by President Bush to expand the government’s domestic spying powers while also providing legal protection to the telecommunication companies that worked with the National Security Agency’s domestic wiretapping program after the Sept. 11 attacks.” As we all remember, Obama continuously vowed to ‘fight FISA’ with all his might while he was still campaigning against Hillary Clinton.

Let’s read some of what his own supporters are saying about Obama’s latest flip flop:

“I don’t think there has been another instance where, in meaningful numbers, his supporters have opposed him like this,” said Glenn Greenwald, a Salon.com writer who opposes Mr. Obama’s new position. “For him to suddenly turn around and endorse this proposal is really a betrayal of what so many of his supporters believed he believed in.”

Jane Hamsher, a liberal blogger who also opposes immunity for the phone companies, said she had been flooded with messages from Obama supporters frustrated with his new stance.

“The opposition to Obama’s position among his supporters is very widespread,” said Ms. Hamsher, founder of the Web site firedoglake.com. “His promise to filibuster earlier in the year, and the decision to switch on that is seen as a real character problem. I know people who are really very big Obama supporters are very disillusioned.”

One supporter, Robert Arellano, expressed his anger on the Obama site.

“I have watched your campaign with genuine enthusiasm,” Mr. Arellano wrote, “and I have given you money. For the first time in my life, I have sensed the presence of a presidential candidate who might actually bring some meaningful change to the corrupt cesspool of national politics. But your about-face on the FISA bill genuinely angers and alarms me.”

Many of us “cynics” will read these statements from these Obama supporters and cringe at how silly and naive they sound, specially considering the fact that we have all known how corrupt and two-faced Barack Hussein Obama is and HAS ALWAYS been, during his ENTIRE political career. But, the mere fact that these fanatical supporters are starting to realize that their ‘messiah’ is not infallible signals the birth pains of Obama’s true downfall.

As we know, the “youth vote”, a demographic with which countless losing Democrats have counted on for victory (to no avail), are easily disillusioned.

It is in the nature of vigor and vitality, to easily catch fire at the stroke of any match, and to easily be turned off by a simple breeze. This is not necessarily a condemnation of youth, since we have all been there and sometimes even pray to return. But the fact remains that even if younger voters are easily duped by promises and dreams, they will also quickly reverse in their enthusiasm at the quick hint of ’something fishy’ surrounding their candidate. This FISA and public financing fiasco is a great example of this, and his constant reversals on the Iraq War withdrawal of troops is an even bigger mess.

How many times have these same Obama supporters heard him say that he will withdraw troops IMMEDIATELY from Iraq? Well…now he is saying that his decision will have to be based on the ‘conditions on the ground’, something that we all remember hearing Hillary Clinton say in terms of ‘responsibility’ in removing troops from a dangerous military scenario. This issue is already starting to annoy many of his supporters and it will definitely create a mass exodus of young voters, who will probably skip election day all together, like they have been already doing for the last few decades.

Adults, either in the intellectual or physical sense, should have known the stupidity of following a candidate who has the audacity to sell himself as a “hope”. These antics are usually only acceptable in the realm of American wrestling characters or insanely silly rock stars. But, to actually have young people supporting the cheesy message of “wishes”, “change”, and “hope” is something that I thought I would never have to witness. This mentality may not only signal a new era of collective imbecility, but it will finally force us to ask; what is really going on within our educational system? In the “old days” (actually, only a few years back), it was cool to be ‘anti politician’, ‘anti system’, anti ‘fitting in’, and ‘anti hope’. These “positive” concepts with which the Obama campaign is pandering for votes were always seen as weak cop-outs and stupid slogans. Now, our government has finally bred a generation of submissive buffoons who get excited when a WEAK candidate (per excellence) sings the praise of ‘unity’, ‘love’, ‘peace’, and ‘change’. It is almost as if the unrepentant hippies who educate them have aggressively brainwashed them, but without instilling their creative taste for good music and exotic religions.

Thankfully for all of us, these same generations are starting to feel the shame of supporting a cheap puppet like Barack Obama, and are slowly starting to abandon him. Very soon, all that will be left surrounding Obama will be a few of his most ardent racist supporters, who will blindly vote for any man that the Democratic Party and the Media labels as “black”, even if they have NEVER represented them, done anything for them, and NEVER will.

Pertaining to those of us who are always willing to inform our public about the dishonesty and danger of Mr. Obama’s presidential aims, we should then clearly remember that the best approach in this fight is to always strike the match of disillusionment. This may finally motivate our youth into realizing how ‘un-cool’ it really is to follow the candidate of cowardice, ‘pusillanimous’ values, and blatant ‘un-realness’.

Yesterday was an interesting day in the history of this BlogZine. CNN, who has been notorious for their biased and Liberal reporting when dealing with Barack Hussein Obama, decided to inform the McCain Campaign that their automated Google ads were running on our site and that they should be quickly removed. CNN somehow must presume that we depend on advertising money to sustain this site, and thus took it upon themselves to specifically make sure that SavagePolitics.com was ostracized and rebuked by the candidate that many of our readers have come to support and that our site’s pockets were robbed of much needed revenue. Let’s first look at how CNN described this site, and in what context, and then we can further discuss what it all means. Here is an excerpt that specifically pertains to our site:

SavagePolitics.com, another anti-Obama site that has run McCain ads, has called Obama a “bold faced liar, a thief, a sexist and a racist.”

The McCain campaign pulled the ads after being notified by CNN.

Rogers said the campaign often has no control over where their ads show up on the Web. That’s because the campaign uses a third-party vendor — in this case, Google — to distribute their banner ads across a broad array of political Web sites by searching for certain key words.

When the campaign is made aware of ads appearing on offensive or irrelevant Web sites, Rogers said, they notify the ad distributor and have the sites added to a list of blocked URLs. He noted the McCain campaign has already blocked “tens of thousands” of such sites. (CLICK HERE TO READ)

In other words, per the second line in the excerpt above, CNN NOTIFIED the McCain campaign that SavagePolitics.com was running their ads. Of course, they conveniently obviated the McCain link on our right column and the fact that there is a fundraising tool underneath it that even directs donors to the John McCain campaign. The reason for ignoring these details is quite simple; the links that they are complaining about appear to make a ‘profit’ for our site, while the second category doesn’t (it actually deviates funds away from it!). This, of course, proves that CNN’s sole intention in their ‘reporting’ is to directly stifle the alternative voice that this BlogZine represents and thus limit the American populace to their brand of “unfiltered” information.

But, for the sake of personal entertainment, I will first tackle some of their charges against our site and then discuss the importance of boycotting this “news” agency.

CNN claims that SavagePolitics.com is “negative” because we have called Mr. Obama a “bold faced liar, a thief, a sexist and a racist.” The question that any reasonable and intelligent person should ask themselves is: Are any of these claims untrue? If the Mainstream Media spent more time doing their job and less time looking for ways to attack ‘irrelevant and offensive’ BlogZines like ours, they would have figured out a long time ago that our claims are not only ENTIRELY TRUE but even mildly stated.

What makes Obama a BOLD FACED LIAR? His already well established record of outright reversals, misdirections, dishonesty and LIES. These words are not “negative” or “smears” but simple allocations of appropriate descriptive labels to a person that CNN and their corrupt lackeys have been all too willing to give a ‘pass’ from their critical scopes. If you wish to feel nauseated by the impressive amount of proven lies that this Illinois Senator has passed underneath your noses, please study our classic read “The Truth vs. Barack Obama“, but let me point out a few of the most recent ones below:

1. Barack Obama stated, not only verbally (through his debates with Senator Clinton and via diverse interviews) but in written form, that he would take PUBLIC FINANCING for his general election campaign. As we all know, he plainly LIED to the American people about this commitment and decided to continue his accumulation of special interest money, not from recognized Federal PACs, but directly from the corrupt CEO’s and their personal corporate slaves. If this ‘flip flopping’ is not BOLD FACED LYING, I don’t know what is.

2. Barack Obama stated, not only through countless campaign surrogates but by his own words in many interviews, that he thought that the D.C. Gun Ban was CONSTITUTIONAL. But, after the Supreme Court decided that it wasn’t and Obama was confronted with the reality of looking foolishly ignorant on legal matters, he told a reporter that he “never said that” and that he always knew that it was not going to pass the Supreme Court’s scrutiny. (WATCH EVIDENCE HERE) If this is not BOLD FACED LYING, I don’t know what is.

3. Barack Obama’s FIRST GENERAL ELECTION Advertisement actually claims that he “extended health care for wounded troops” and cites Public Law 110-181 as the evidence of said action. The problem is, Obama NEVER VOTED for said bill and was not even near Washington DC at the time. When asked about this lie, Obama defended himself by claiming that McCain was also missing for said vote and should then not criticize him for being absent. The difference is that McCain never claimed that he voted for this bill, Obama did. If this is not BOLD FACED LYING, I don’t know what is.

The sad reality of this election is that I could literally continue this list to infinity, and this would only encompass this month’s news. Is it not shameful that our American political system has reached this low level? Is there then any question that our affirmative labeling of Mr. Obama as a LIAR is not only accurate but painfully constrained? Most people would agree that a person who lies with such impunity, sloppiness and frequency should be called much harsher names than “bold faced liar”.

The other ‘less dramatic’ descriptors that CNN chastises our site for are also quite easy to understand.

We openly call Obama a racist, not only because of his association with Rev. Wright and the Liberation Theology cesspool that is his Trinity United Church, but because Barack’s own books are infested with hundreds of racialist affirmations and sentiments. Among them is the now infamous “white folks greed runs a world in need” line that when put into context is even more damaging that what the single line implies. Many of these “wonderfully” racially charged comments can be easily found in his ‘Dreams from My Father’ book. In this same ethnocentric spirit, there is also that now infamous radio interview where he described his own grandmother as a “typical white person” who feels threatened by black men when they walk down the street (CLICK HERE TO HEAR OBAMA). If these circumstances do not categorize you in the realm of “racist”  (or “racially insensitive”) then we should have sent that memo to David Duke, since we have socially ostracized him for many years for saying milder things than this (and for actually being honest about it!). Can you even imagine John McCain utilizing the term “typical black person” without getting viciously attacked for being a ‘racist’?

But the ‘big picture’ aspect of CNN’s action has nothing to do with Obama nor his well recorded dishonesty and unpreparedness to become President of the United States. This entire controversy is about our freedom of speech and the ability of every citizen to dictate his own conscience. CNN is upset at the idea of having to compete with independent blogs that DO NOT depend on advertisement, nor on corporate interests, but merely on the support of each individual reader. Of course, the mere fact that SavagePolitics.com was even mentioned as a ‘problem’ for the Obama campaign is quite flattering, and it obviously means that we are doing our job, but it also signals a new step in their assault on our freedom and independent thought. Since when did the Press and their surrogates began to dedicate their valuable time to destroy the earning potential of other sources of information and speech? Since when is it their job to inform on others, as if we were living inside the Soviet Union, and they were part of the ‘thought police’? What is next, snitch on your own parents for not ‘following the party line’?

In this regard, the McCain campaign should also receive some of the blame for this disrespectful and overt action against the right of ALL citizens to express their views and read whatever they feel is relevant, irregardless of how unpopular or inconvenient it may appear to some. We have never seen CNN calling the advertisers of any anti-McCain blogs for their “offensive” nature, even though many of them even claim that McCain lied about being injured in Vietnam (among countless silly allegations)! Why would the McCain campaign stoop so low as to allow the Liberal press to dictate their path to victory? The answer lies in FEAR. Many inside McCain’s campaign (and for this I am willing to give a temporary pass to J. McCain himself) fear to be branded as “mean”, “negative”, “racists”, etc. by an overtly socialist, corrupt albeit powerful news agency like CNN. To take control of this situation, and appear ‘above the fray’, they will thus continuously pontificate about “positive campaigning”, “not questioning the patriotism of others”, fighting the “smears”, and other euphemism that hide the truth behind their assertion.

If they honestly feel that this is a coherent strategy to beat Obama, and that it will somehow ‘out change’ the Change candidate, then we all hope that they are right in this approach and we would then be all too willing to comply. But, just like I warned the Hillary Clinton campaign during many occasions I will now directly warn the McCain camp. You may be preaching to the wrong choir! Many of these imbeciles who love “change” and “hope” are either Liberal fanatics, foolish youngsters, or racist African Americans. These individuals could care less if McCain attacks Obama or he does not, they will not vote for his candidacy anyway, irrespective of the “good nature”, “logic”, “reasonableness”, and/or “fairness” that he may represent.

Because of this, and more often than not, a campaign has to OPENLY engage in ruthless tactics if they wish to achieve victory, and in this election, not doing so from an EARLY stage is what directly destroyed Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming the first female President in our history. We must then all presume that the McCain campaign does not wish to fall into this same ditch and that they are right now tightly strapping their thinking caps as they face the Obama machine, if not, they must quickly realize that they are in trouble. Most of us ‘political savages’ understand that common Americans do not understand subtleties and that going along with CNN’s Liberal “love fest” ploy, with the aim of somehow ‘take them from the inside’ may backfire. For the sake of our entire Nation, we hope that John McCain’s campaign quickly learns these realities or we will be facing the disturbing possibility of an Obama administration (as unlikely as it is at this point).

At the end of the day, SavagePolitics.com has proven to be morally stronger than any Mainstream Media source. This is so because we DO NOT depend on any corporate money to survive and instead depend on the support of our loyal readers. Those who subscribe and continuously donate to this site have always been the ones in charge, and thus the newly christened Communist News Network (a fitting name when you consider their ‘informant’ and liberal tendencies) is utterly powerless to influence or stop this site from doing its job in the SAVAGE advocacy of freedom, justice and truth.

To our readers, please know that if the THOUSANDS of you who already visit this site want to effect REAL CHANGE in the way American politics functions in our Country, you should personally make it a point to boycott many of these corporate (and corrupt) news networks. This can only be done by donating, and/or subscribing to alternative sources of information like this site. This is truly the only way to actually influence our public discourse and force our press to once and for all break their bondage from corporate and special interests. Spending small amounts of cash on alternative thoughts is as crucial as investing in ‘alternative fuels’, or even giving your cash away to Hollywood films and their other mindless agendas.

UNDERSTAND that the day that our News Media starts ’snitching’ on it’s own citizens, is the day that our freedom will begin its slippery slope towards its collapse. Nonetheless, I want you to know that I am NOT afraid of the Corporate Media and their nefarious intentions. If they want war, then war it is. Our aim has never been to only stop political corruption and speak truth to power, it has also been to utterly destroy the American Mainstream Media and permanently eradicate their influence from the political discussion. It therefore high time for an old fashioned political mutiny, and the conditions are ripe for their taking.

This 4th of July will henceforth also represent OUR independence from corporate manipulation and their dictatorial tactics. We will nevermore be led astray by their lies and hidden agendas and we will take back what can never be stolen from us; our FREEDOM.

*very good video, please watch in its entirety*

This week has been very good for John Sidney McCain III. He has been going up in the polls in both Georgia and Massachusetts, and has had the Obama campaign earnestly (albeit foolishly) attacking his military record. This has given McCain a great opportunity to highlight his past service without appearing presumptuous or politically motivated. Every time an Obama surrogate claims that McCain is not fit to be president because he was tortured by the VietCong, or that being held captive for 5 years in isolation is not “reflective of his character”, they only reinforce these stories in McCain’s resume and simultaneously highlight the lack of service on their candidate’s resume. What has Obama EVER done that in any way entails a sacrifice for this Nation and it’s citizens?

At issue here is the subject of personal sacrifice in the face of difficult odds. What is being questioned by Obama’s surrogates is the CONCEPT of personal sacrifice for the sake of others and the value of SERVICE for our fellow ‘man’. All of this basically points to the fact that it is quite difficult to remember any recent politician who can honestly proclaim to have lived through (and have willfully accepted) the PERSONAL pain and suffering that John McCain endured for this Country. McCain’s military record and bonafide status as a war hero is UNIMPEACHABLE and UNQUESTIONABLE, a fact that almost every Democrat has been all too willing to admit. So why is Obama PURPOSELY attacking McCain’s war record anyway?

It is quite obvious that the Obama campaign clearly understand that their candidate’s character, even without putting it in contrast with anyone else’, is quite faulty and leaves MUCH to be desired. And, when pitted against a war hero in the likes of John S. McCain, his puny record seems almost disrespectful to the office he seeks. They all understand that if Obama is to survive this election, it is then crucial to diminish and put into question McCain’s record and ‘war hero’ status. This explains why the Obama camp has had multiple surrogates engage in this strategy for the last couple of days. Let’s look at a few of Obama’s own surrogates, and read how they have started to frame John McCain’s service:

“While Barack Obama was urging supporters not to devalue the military service of rival John McCain, an informal Obama adviser argued Monday that the former POW’s isolation during the Vietnam War has hobbled the Arizona senator’s capacity as a war-time leader.” (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, “Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)

Beers: “Sadly, Sen. McCain was not available during those times, and I say that with all due respect to him. … I think that the notion that the members of the Senate who were in the ground forces or who were ashore in Vietnam have a very different view of Vietnam and the cost that you described than John McCain does because he was in isolation essentially for many of those years and did not experience the turmoil here or the challenges that were involved for those of us who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war.” (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, “Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)

Beers: “So I think … to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world.” (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, “Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)

“The Beers remarks, which were made at the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund in Washington, D.C….” (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, “Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08)

** “CAPAF, which is the political arm of a liberal think tank headed by former Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta, has been taking the lead for Democrats on dissecting McCain’s policy proposals. CAPAF’s Monday series of four policy panels on the economy, health care, foreign policy, and energy was dubbed ‘McCain University.’” (Teddy Davis and Molly Hunter, “Dem Guru: McCain Limited By POW Years,” ABC News’ “Political Radar” Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 6/30/08) **

Gen. Clark: “But he hasn’t held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded? It wasn’t a wartime squadron. He hasn’t been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasn’t seen what it’s like when diplomats come in and say, ‘I don’t know whether we’re going to be able to get this point through or not, do you want to take the risk, what about your reputation, how do we handle this publicly?’ He hasn’t made those points Bob.” (CBS’ “Face The Nation,” 6/29/08)

CBS’ Bob Schieffer: “Well, General, could I just interrupt you. I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down.” Gen. Clark: “Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President.” (CBS’ “Face The Nation,” 6/29/08)

Sen. Rockefeller: “McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues.” (Paul J. Nyden, “Jay Defends Endorsement Of Sen. Obama,” The Charleston Gazette, 4/8/08)

“Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s family background as the son and grandson of admirals has given him a worldview shaped by the military, ‘and he has a hard time thinking beyond that,’ Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ia., said Friday. ‘I think he’s trapped in that,’ Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. ‘Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous.’” (Jane Norman, “Harkin: McCain Too ‘Military,’” The Des Moines Register, 5/17/08)

As you can see, the Obama campaign has been recently testing the waters to see if this subject is ‘damaging’ or ‘out of bounds’ for the American public, before engaging in it too deeply towards November. This allows their camp to respond rapidly if there is outrage or maintain the pressure if people don’t care. Up until now, many people have thankfully responded negatively, which explains why he felt the need to “reject” Clark’s statements in his recent “patriotism speech”.

What is ironic about this whole dynamic is that the reason people are not responding to his attacks in the same way that many Americans did when Republicans attacked Kerry on “similar grounds”, is because Obama HAS NEVER even served a day in the military, nor has he ever been NEAR combat (Harvard is a pretty relaxing place!). This fact alone  (his lack of service) makes him look like a pompous and arrogant politician when he is all too willing to attack a man like John McCain, who was tortured for the simple crime of being an American soldier.

For the sake of fairness, let’s make these Liberal talking points easier to understand for the American people and clearly digest them for those of you who may still be “confused”. Their argument is, that a man who decides to serve his Nation by joining the military, who was then shot down, captured, and tortured physically and psychologically because of his refusal to go home and leave his fellow soldiers behind, is now being branded as someone who does not cross the “Liberal threshold” to become Commander in Chief. Instead, we are told, being of the ‘correct historic ethnicity’, serving a few years in the Senate, and openly befriending terrorists and racist, is the perfect qualification to lead the free world and solve our biggest problems.

But the sleaze and fear of the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party does not end at alluding to McCain’s ‘war hero’ liability. There have been rumors around the internet that the Democrats are even planing their own “swift boating” campaign against McCain, on the particular issue of being supposedly “broken” by the VietCong under torture (I have already seen their very silly and cheap production videos). Apparently, these potential 527’s think that by highlighting the idea that McCain MIGHT have given the VietCong any information during their 5 year torture marathon of him, it somehow proves that McCain is in fact ‘less of a hero’ than most people think. This sort of childish and immature mentality clearly explains why Liberals have always been mocked for their lack of Military understanding and cowardly perspectives. Would George Soros, or any of these other arm-chair Socialists, ever survive a day of VietCong “treatment” without ’spilling their guts’ about their own family members and personal associates? The stupidity of these strategies are somewhat mind-boggling but nonetheless repulsive.

But, even if this LIE about John McCain were true and widely disseminated (i.e. that he caved in after prolonged torture), it does not diminish his service at all and will instead end up highlighting it. For most Americans, the idea of “giving in” a few times in 5 years, after getting your arms pulled out of socket hundreds of times, getting burned with cigarettes on your genitals on a daily basis, and getting constantly drowned in buckets of soiled water, is quite understandable (to say the least!).

It is for these, and many other indirect reasons, that these Obama blunders have thus been very helpful to McCain, since he has been able to simply point out the ludicrousness of these surrogate’s statements, while remaining ‘above the fray’. After all, these are DEMOCRATS insulting REPUBLICANS on the issue of Military service and patriotism!

Of course, this is not to say that Republicans have a monopoly on these issues, they clearly do not, but it is well known that the Democratic Party has historically shot themselves on the foot on these particular core American values. This year, they are already reinforcing these ‘cliches’ by nominating a man like Barack Hussein Obama, who will clearly keep said perspective attached to the Democratic Party for many years to come, and who has less character in his entire body than Mr. McCain’s middle finger.

All of this nonsense reminds me of an expression that my grandmother used to say about similar circumstances (and I am translating): “It is like watching ducks shooting at the rifles!”

We all seek freedom.  We seek the freedom to say what we will; we seek the freedom to be what we want to be.  We seek the freedom to live a life of our choosing, in the direction we desire, with outcomes that we deem worthy.  Freedom is obviously a necessity to those ideals; without it, they are impossible.  The power to run our own lives, create our own destiny, is power indeed.

Our country was founded on these ideals.  It has prospered because of the concerted will of a united people.  And yet, as our society has gradually advanced, as new but strange theories infiltrated our system-heretofore unconsidered deviations presented themselves - perhaps what was old might be outdated?  Perhaps what is new is preferable simply for the sake that it is new?  These changes in united consciousness - the war machine and the industrial revolution; the corporation as a new plantation; money and power VS family and tradition - they clashed as they rushed forward in our minds.  Dare we speak the desire for change?  Dare we realize what that change would do?  We began thus to sense a danger.  Were we to go right, to go left, to stay the course or to forge an entirely new path?  Were our present leaders up to the task or were they woefully ill equipped for the voyage?

Today we face such a fork in the road, such a sudden assault, a loud demand for change without caring the course or knowing the captain of the ship.  This election, like none other perhaps, pits experience against the unforeseeable future, it pits actual results against potentialities and promises that are grounded in little but energetic, flowery words.  This election, if ‘misvoted’ and thus lost, could be a new beginning or the end of our ‘empire’.  The sun has two options - it can rise to the heavens or it can shut itself off - and plunge us into the darkness of doubt and despair and depressive self-pity.  We should learn who our would-be captains really are - what they believe in, what direction they wish to take us, and the REAL reason they are steering that course.

It takes guts, brains, and will.  It takes the fortitude to open one’s eyes, one’s ears, and one’s mouths.  Freedom is not guaranteed to outlast you or your country.  Freedom must be diligently supported and wholly defended.  Freeing ourselves from outside influence is one step in guaranteeing a continuance of our ideals and our hopes for the future.

I have therefore felt it necessary to bring some new solutions to the waiting throngs, demanding change but demanding more than just scripted speeches and ‘telepromtped’ beliefs that can change overnight.  One area I wish to explore is Energy Policy - and its future.  I believe that the freedom that we all value so highly is in jeopardy:  activist courts creating laws rather than interpreting them, legislation that strips us of our rights while inoculating the masses with distractions and drama; our dependence on foreign energy sources that force us to live at the mercy of others, every day of our nation’s existence.

It only takes a 2 week power outage to show you just what a mess life can be when you are without electricity and fuel.  I know personally, having made it through Hurricane Wilma.  I am not saying that I had it bad in comparison to other people’s plight - I can only speak of what I know.  But what I remember during the power outage, and the fury to find gas stations with power to pump desperately needed fuel, was that it was very difficult to exist and that the multitude of things needed to live that required power, had been sorely taken for granted.  I learned how easy my life had been up to then and how tough it was to clean, to eat, to administer medical care without power.  Today’s high energy demands could bring about service interruptions due to shortages, with long lines at the pump, paying ghastly prices for fuel (as is already occurring), and an inability to afford the necessary staples of daily life - food, medicine, clean water.

We need to understand who has a plan and who has a promise.  We need to understand who will take action and who will give a speech.  We need to have someone that has DONE something, has made the sacrifices for his country, rather than someone that has no record of having done a thing but sacrifice everyone around him, if he must, in order to win.

We have the next several months to attend to our courts and our lawmakers - I have decided to therefore introduce to you some of the policies that just may make a difference in our future and sustain our freedom of choice, our freedom of tradition, our freedom of self-determination.  We have the will - we simply need the way - and I think this could be that path, both in promise AND in practice.

I will be offering Senator John McCain’s ‘Lexington Project‘ to you here, saving you (for now!), the leap to JohnMcCain.com, but hoping that you will visit his site, will sign up to be a part of his team, and will work to make a better future, through organized action rather than plagiarized promises.

Now, quite possibly you are a PUMA or a ‘Nobamacrat’ or a total SAVAGE like myself.  Perhaps you are a “Hope and Change”, ‘I-don’t-need-specifics’ type of person.  Perhaps you couldn’t care less?  Or more than likely you have always understood that your country needed you, that you must live to defend your nation’s honor along with her (and your) traditions, and that you have always been pretty damn proud of who you are and where you live.

Whoever you are - I put to you this plan - a form of action in words.

Long ago, when the very fabric of our nation was stretched to its uttermost limits, under the threat of fascism, Nazism, and communism - we put forth our minds and our means and created the Manhattan Project.  We built what was necessary to save our lives and our way of life.  It was a time of tough choices, of few options, and of great necessity.  We are thankfully still free of those old evils - though they lurk right over our collective shoulders, wrapped up in the most eloquent of packages, with the fairest but thinnest of tissue paper, however, we mustn’t be fooled.  The old enemy uses new, hopeful figures of change - uses new tactics in a perpetual battle to trick and distract, to throw it’s voice - to hypnotize with hope.  Pretty is everything - new for the sake of being new is what is right for you.

But you are smart - and getting smarter everyday.  The Manhattan Project was costly, terribly, and dreadfully necessary.  Without the idea and its implementation we may all be speaking a different language, working under different conditions, for a different master other than ourselves determining our own destiny.

We are now faced with an Energy Fascism - a collusion between arrogance and foreign (and domestic) corporate greed, ambition and power, promise and indebted puppeteering.  Perhaps McCain’s Lexington Project will free us in one area, Energy Independence, so that we can focus our efforts, our genius, and our will to fight bigger battles, against even more insidious enemies to our nation’s freedoms and traditions.

Without further delay - I present to you The Future:

The Lexington Project

John McCain’s blueprint to ‘breaking our dependence on foreign oil’.

“Our nation’s future security and prosperity depends on the next President making the hard choices that will break our nation’s strategic dependence on foreign sources of energy and will ensure our economic prosperity by meeting tomorrow’s demands for a clean portfolio. John McCain has made the necessary choices - producing more power, pushing technology to help free our transportation sector from its use of foreign oil, cleaning up our air and addressing climate change, and ensuring that Americans have dependable energy sources. John McCain will lead the effort to develop advanced transportation technologies and alternative fuels to promote energy independence and cut off the flow of oil wealth to repressive dictatorships like Iran. In recent days I have set before the American people an energy plan, the Lexington Project
