Obama: Disarming Americans and Our Military
Yet another story that sounds too crazy to be true, and it deeply concerns me with so many people eager to do whatever Obama says. This entry requires very little writing on my part because the videos speak for themselves.

The first video shows Obama, in his own words, expressing his desire to cut funding for our missile defense systems and to negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM’s (intercontinental ballistic missiles) off alert (our ICBM’s give us the ability of an immediate proactive/reactive missile strike to any threat where we do not have a nearby military presence - they have been a concern due to the fact that they can be armed with nuclear warheads). China, India, and in the near future, North Korea, have ICBM’s that are capable of reaching the United States. Obama also comes right out to state that he will slow our development of the Army’s future combat systems. He also plans to make deep cuts in our nuclear weapons and halt any future development. Another item which is not discussed on this video, is that Obama wants to redirect 15% of the Pentagon’s discretionary budget to welfare programs. These cuts would eliminate the F-22 Raptor, the V-22 Osprey, the Virginia class sub, the DDG-1000 destroyer, and the Army’s future combat systems.

The second video which may hit closer to home, shows Obama’s anti-gun legislative history. Obama voted against the private ownership of shotguns, rifles, and black powder rifles used primarily for home protection and hunting. He even goes so far as to vote for a total ban of the manufacturing, distribution, and possession of all handguns.

At a time when Democrats claim that America is in more danger than ever, it appears that Obama is going to do everything in his power to weaken our military and take the guns out of our homes, effectively putting our country at risk and eliminating the ability for any us to legally protect our loved ones. Is this the change you can believe in?

PS-
On a somewhat unrelated side note, check out this link to bill 90_SR0110 on the State of Illinois General Assembly’s webpage. It calls for the declaration of an Islamic Community Center Day. Seems interesting given the sponsor of the bill. Bet you can’t guess who it is.
