I have serious concerns about the safety of our nation. It worries me that more people don't vote. More than that, I believe we have become mesmerized into a false sense of security regarding terrorism.. With an election coming up, I think it is critical that the people of this country exercise their right to vote and consider that the radicals of Islam hate our country and what it stands for. Be reminded, we are viewed as the "INFIDELS"....something to be DESTROYED.
In an interview, Barak Obama has said the following:
A Childhood of Different Religions"Let me just sort of be as clear as possible in terms of what that background is. You know, I was raised basically by my mother, who came from a Christian background—small town, white, Midwesterner. But, she was not particularly religious. My father, who I did not know—I spent a month of my life in his presence, otherwise he was a stranger to me—was raised in a household where his father had converted to Islam. But my father, for all practical purposes, was agnostic. My mother remarried an Indonesian and we moved to Indonesia. But for two years I went to a Catholic school in Indonesia, and then for two years went to a secular school in Indonesia. The majority of children there were Muslim. But it wasn't a religious school. So almost all the facts that have been presented in the scurrilous emails are wrong. And I've been a member of my church now for almost 20 years and have never been a person of the Muslim faith. Now, having said all that, I absolutely believe that having lived in a country that was majority Muslim for a time and having distant relatives in Africa who are Muslim, that I'm less likely to demonize the Muslim faith and more likely to understand that they are ordinary folks who are trying to figure out how to live their lives and raise their kids and prosper just like anybody else. And I do think that that cultural understanding is something that could be extremely valuable."

That's a nice sentiment. One we cannot afford to consider. For your own information, just take a look at the following website
http://www.multied.com/Terrorhistory.html for a history of terroristic attacks on our country. You may be surprised at what you find.. Terrorism is a serious threat to our freedom. It is real -- and it prospering.
While I am against religious prejudice, I do not think that cultural understanding should be our first concern in selecting a leader for America. We are hated by Islam. Obaama is a politician and, as such, is going to tell the Americcan people what they want to hear. He may be a Christian....or ??? I guess the question is: Given the history of violence against our country, do we really want to hand over the reins to America to someone who is more concerned about cultural understanding for Islam. Consider the possibilities. I prefer a candidate who has strong convictions against terrorism and sees it as a major concern. This guy scares me...
