Quit Crying: Support McCain

Get over it! McCain is going to be the Republican Candidate. Maybe not the candidate wanted by the conservatives, but he is all we have.

If you needed an eye opener, the last three Supreme Court decisions should have brought the point home. Americans came within one vote of losing their 2nd amendment rights to possess and own a gun. As Rush Limbaugh is fond of saying, "We might as well not have a congress with an activist Supreme Court." To Hell with the Constitution, let the ideologues in black robes decide the rights of the people. We are supposed to have three equal branches, each with a particular role to play in the governance of America. In particular, the legislative branch, it is supposed to be the body that codifies the issues of our time. The Supreme Court, through the litigation process, decides if the issue is in accordance with the Constitution. That is their power, although strong and important, it is not given to them the ability to 'make law'.

The makeup of the Supreme Court is very important. When there are a majority of Justices on the court who put their feelings about issues first and the words of the Constitution last, our liberty is very much in danger. The Scalia - Breyer debate demonstrated that the liberal Justices use the court decisions of socialist countries to support their decisions when they cannot find any U.S. decisions that agree with their opinions. Breyer says that looking at foreign law is very 'instructive'. And no doubt, if they search in enough places, they will find some foreign decisions that agree with their opinion. The Liberal justices feel like they need not have to use the Constitution as a guide. It is their position on the issues that guide them.

Any vote for candidate X,Y,Z, or just not voting is a vote for Obama. McCain is not a conservative ideologue but he will not nominate justices who will steal your freedoms. So quit crying about having McCain as our standard-bearer and support the man. He needs both your vote and donations. It is the least we can do to prevent a takeover of the government by a bunch of lefties. Support the under card candidates on the ballot. Do not fall for the tactic of Democrats saying conservative things. If you do choose to elect a Democrat because of the wonderful things he says, as soon as he gets to Washington, he will have to abide by the edicts of the party and party leader.

If it was in my power to change our candidate, I would. But that is not possible. Even if you do not like McCain, give your support to him and the Republican candidates on the ballot.

Cheers,
