In the next few months, we will be hearing a lot about each candidate and how each views the other as being unfit to serve because of this and that. The truth is that neither candidate really serves this nation's best interests at one or more levels. At this time, more than any other in our history, we need to be American's first, and world citizens second. I hear too much from both candidates on the global community. When did this happen? When did we decide that we need to lower our standards to be more in line with Europe?
We are a truly great nation. We should be proud of our accomplishments and be proud that whereever tyranny has prevailed, we have stepped in to help the oppressed. Now McCain, I have no doubt, agrees with at least this much. And I have no doubt he is proud to be an American, and not just recently as his opponent's wife has stated. I do however worry to some degree about his views on immigration, and climate alarmism. We need to protect our borders and culture, and promote a strong economy. This simply cannot happen if we put more regulations on our already heavy regulated businesses. We also will have a problem protecting ourselves and our culture if we do not stop the flow of illegals crossing into this country and then treating them as if they are good thing.
In any other part of the world, 500,000 people from foreign soil crossing a border is called an invasion, and is seen as an act of war. Now i do not think we need to declare war on Mexico, but I do think a good idea would be to start with at least a threat of sanctions against them if the do not take part in helping to stop the flow. I mean, for Pete's sake, they hand out pamphlets to their citizens giving advise on what to do when they decide to make the trip!
For starters, I would like Mr. McCain speak out against that type of thinly veiled encouragement as an act of aggression. Then, I would like him to take a harder stance against Mexico for making this part of their government policy. They bring their sick across the border for free medical care, their embassies hand out ID cards to make getting US documents easier, and seem to do nothing to solve their own economic problems to make crossing our borders illegally an unattractive prospect. We have enough welfare issues here without taking on those of other nations, thank you. Mr. McCain, please do what you claim to do, and put America first. Bi-partisan, shmartisan...if I wanted to work with Democrats, I would have quit my job and moved back home with my parents.
You still have my support, inasmuch as I know you will do the right thing in our foreign affairs. I just need to know that you will protect our domestic affairs with as much vigor. I keep wondering if America has lost it's way. I hope it does not take another attack on our soil to get us back in the right direction. By then it may be too late.
