Back to Politics

A couple issues to discuss today, actually three. First of all, we need to consider changing our policies about our "gun-free" school zones. Obviously its not working in that its not preventing school shootings. Those who want to go on a killing spree know that they won't have opposition on a High School or College Campus. I think a quote from a firearms instructor I heard on the radio recently says it pretty good; "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away".

The second issue is that FISA is up for renewal. The Democrats are doing their typical political grandstanding on matters of National Security. We need to renew this bill now so that we can electronically monitor, no not US citizens, but foreign terrorists calling in to the US. I guess the Democrats feel that steriod use in MLB is more of a threat to our national security than Islamic Jihadists are.

Finally, revisiting the John McCain issue. While my wife and I are fans of Mitt Romney, we know he's dropped out of the race for President. I strongly suggest that we of the Conservative nature back John McCain, regardless of whether we feel he's the best conservative choice. When the choice is between him and Clinton or Obama, he is clearly the conservative choice. He is right on national security, in a time of war, where the other two aren't. Lets get our priorities straight, a few disagreements on some issues, or serious disagreements on all issues? Vote for the one you agree with more of the time, and a no vote is a vote for Clinton or Obama.
