He is still insisting that we be compassionate to illegal aliens.

“Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war.”

And here is a quote on war from a great man: “It is a good thing that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.” - Gen. Robert E. Lee

Long article, will finish it later at home.

More of the Bushite nonsense of promoting “democracy” around the globe. In fact, McCain is worse, wanting to pick a fight with a Russia that poses on threat to us. The Cold War cost trillions of dollars. Just how does McCain think we can pay for a new one, plus the costs of spreading “democracy?”

“Americans north and south share a common geography and a common destiny. The countries of Latin America are the natural partners of the United States, and our northern neighbor Canada.”

Sorry, that’s as far as I could get. Common destiny? If McCain has his way we’ll be just another latino speaking 3rd world country.

McCain bashing is just plain boring.

I read this and as I did it was driven home to me that Obama would be a disaster for the west. Clinton would merely be a calamity as I think she (or at least Bill) has some inkling of what is at stake in the world and of the people we must deal with. McCain is head and shoulders above Clinton. The man has proven his loyalty and patriotism. This speech is a pretty clear statement that he puts the U.S. first - something I know Obama would not do and that I doubt Clinton would do if by doing so it would disadvantage her in any way politically. I also like his referrence to a league of democracies - an idea that is worth exploring. His stand in regards terrorist states is correct as is his stance vis a vis the emerging Russian state.

And don't forget "We have to strengthen our global alliances as the core of a new global compact -- a League of Democracies -- that can harness the vast influence of the more than one hundred democratic nations around the world to advance our values and defend our shared interests."

Next thing we know, he'll be wanting to hand over the keys to the UN. (With the help of all those noble workers who only lack papers, after all...)

So which Romance(Latin based) language would that be Bea? French, Spanish, or Italian?

Your paranoia amazes me, especially since English is the "lingua franca" of the world.

“I read this and as I did it was driven home to me that Obama would be a disaster for the west. Clinton would merely be a calamity....”

I read this and near wept at the lows that this nation has be brought to. We have a nominee that is so disgustingly wrong and treacherous that the only way that he stands to be elected is because the other side is even worse. Hard to believe that is possible, but there it is. Lord forgive me, I hate the Democrat Party even more; this time for not giving America any choice at all.

So are you stating that English is a dying language? Seems to me that you are the moron, since any successful person knows how to speak English, but what the hey, I won't call you a moron, just a tin foil paranoid.
