Ten Commandments, is it really religious?

Isn’t it funny that these commandments:

1. Have no other gods before me [the God of the Hebrews].
2. Make no images of anything in heaven, earth or the sea, and do not worship or labor for them.
3. Do not vainly use the name of your God [the God of the Hebrews].
4. Do no work on the seventh day of the week.
5. Honor your parents.
6. Do not kill.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not give false testimony against another.
10. Do not desire another's wife or anything that belongs to another.

consistently come under attack by people.  I’m not just talking Liberals…although they are the ones that shout out the most about this topic…but people in general think that we have something called Separation of Church and State.  Where in the Constitution does it mention that there is separation of church and state?  It is a long-time tradition of our founding fathers to uphold religious liberty (through separation of church and state) and for the federal government to not aid religion.  This is why I have no problems displaying the ten commandments at a Texas courthouse but not in favor of Bush’s faith-based initiative.  Our founding fathers saw the corruption and how government was like under a religious monarchy, they new that when the government and religion were intertwined that religous jihad (i.e. the Crusades) could result.  If we really wanted to track the root of the separation of church and state we need to read up on Anne Hutchinson.

Democrats just don't understand the implications of 9/11

It is funny but Democrats just don’t understand the implications and the impact of 9/11.  Karl Rove, President Bush’s chief architect, says in a speech near ground zero:

"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said Wednesday night. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."

Although this blogger does not totally agree with the concept of a War without an end.  It is true that the Democrats…when there is a crisis…want to offer Americans therapy of some sort or a psychoanalysis to get to the root of the problem.  Perhaps it was your mom beating you that night when you stole money out of her purse that you are feeling rage and hostility towards these religious fanatics. 

It isn’t a matter of understanding these terrorists…they don’t care for the sanctity of life when they are willing to sacrifice themselves and kill 3,000 Americans for their God.  It is our best interest to get some reconnaissance on the ground and locate these terror cells and cut off the head.  Better technology and more special forces trained for counter-terrorism measures would do wonders in this day and age of “terror.”  Furthermore, blame doesn’t lie with just the Clinton Administration, the Carter Administration dwindled down our recon missions and relied heavily on technology.  We can rely on technology and use it as a tool…however it should not be used to replace ground troops.  Technology can’t infiltrate a terror camp to learn of its goals and missions.

North Korea, US' embattered child whines

N. Korea Blames U.S. for Nuke Program

North Korea today whines that it would not have had a need for a nuclear weapons plan if the US only treated it better.  How much do you want to bet the Democrats will be all over this in the coming days blaming that it is all Bush's fault that we are in a nuclear "showdown" with N. Korea.  Kim Jong Il is insane and knows how to manipulate the mainstream media into buying this lie.  I doubt that if we recognize their sovereignty that he will dismantle any nuclear progress...progress that was given to him by the Clinton Administration.

Who is John R. Bolton?

Can we finally have a vote on John R. Bolton?  Who is this man that the Democrats hate and the Republicans waiver their dedication.  It seems that Senate Majority Leader Bill frist is confused after saying that there will be no vote and then reversing his decision after meeting with President Bush.  Bolton is a man that rightly criticizes the effectiveness of the U.N. since its tarnished reputation from both the Oil-for-Food Scandal and allegations of rape among peacekeepers.  I can tell you that I wouldn’t want the U.N. to do my accounting nor peacekeeping.  Perhaps we can either find the political muscle through Bolton’s nomination to either clean up the U.N. or help transition the U.N. without the United States as its financial backer.  Quotes on the Bolton range from calling him a right-wing extremist to being able to collaborate and bring new perspective to the U.N.  I hope we can finally get the U.S. out of the U.N. to preserve our integrity and sovereignty.
