This will be my last post for a week.  I will be back after a hunting trip to regain a grip on sanity.  I will be back in time to vote.  This year, more than ever, every sane vote counts.

On Tuesday, October 19, Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards told a group in Hibbing, Minnesota that he and John Kerry would fight for their right to “go in the national parks and national forests and ride on a snowmobile”.

Meanwhile, on johnkerry.com, it is stated that “John Kerry will reinstate the Clinton Administration’s phase-out of noisy and polluting snowmobiles that have been overrunning some of our most precious lands, including Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. “. 

While not everyone cares about the snowmobile issue, we all should care about integrity.  Northern Minnesota is home to one of the largest snowmobile manufacturers in the country.  Minnesota is home to 200,000 snowmobile riders.  With his pandering to that audience, he showed, once again, his true colors.  Meanwhile, he and Kerry have every intention (as stated on Kerry’s own website) of taking away the right of those same people to sell and ride snowmobiles.  Now think about other issues such as those relating to the first and second amendments of the Constitution. 

John Kerry and John Edwards will do and say everything possible to win this election so that they can begin to carry out their REAL mission.  Many of us already understand that mission.  And if they are elected it will lead to the weakening of this nation and to even greater vulnerability to terrorism.

I am unable to understand exactly how anyone could be undecided one week before THIS presidential election. 

There are two choices. 

One choice is a party that wants to move America toward a communistic political system with a socialistic economy and with a secular system of values.  That party would weaken America’s national sovereignty and would jeopardize the security of our nation as a result.  While the mission of this party has been camouflaged in the rhetoric of social justice, class struggle, and racism, the intent is obvious to even the most casual observer.

The other choice is a party that wants to preserve America’s representative democracy with its capitalist economy and its Judeo-Christian system of values.  That party would maintain America’s national sovereignty and would continue to strengthen the security of our nation.  The mission of this party has been laid out without rhetorical camouflage and its intent is extremely clear to anyone who is listening.

Regardless of which side one takes in the debate, there has rarely been such clarity in a presidential election.  And the choice has never been more important.  This election will determine whether America continues as a grand experiment in values-based, free-market, representative democracy or joins countless others in failed secularly-based socialism. 

There is no excuse for indecision this time.  All Americans must take a stand.  This is our future and it is the future of our children.  WE will decide which direction will be taken by our nation for decades to come.
