			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;But we have to make sure that we do not hesitate to act when it comes to al Qaeda because they are currently stronger than they were at any time since 2001, partly because we took our eye off the ball.&#8221;</strong> These are the exact words of Senator Obama during the Republican/Democrat debates January 5, 2008. I want you to read what he said a few more times&#8230;and now I want you to put yourself in the troops shoes. What are you thinking/feeling right now?</p>
<p>If you are a bit confused as to why I&#8217;m concerned with what he said, then you clearly don&#8217;t see how he is insulting our troops overseas. Our troops are over in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting to defend America and defeat terrorism. Everyday they have been fighting Al Qaeda, and clearly Al Qaeda HAS been weakened. To falsely say that Al Qaeda is growing stronger everyday simply sends a negative message to not only the President, but also to the troops indicating that they&#8217;re not doing their job.</p>
<p>I believe the War should have ended much longer ago when we captured Saddam, however that&#8217;s not the case and we need to continue to standby and support our troops. The recent surges have shown much increases in progress, yet Hillary and Obama continue to trash talk our troops indicating the falsely notion that we are not showing progress as Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. What a crock of shit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am in no way against the organization for pushing their thoughts or beliefs, but petition #2493 really irritates me.</p>
<p>The American Atheists is an organization in the U.S. dedicated to defending the civil liberties of atheists and advocating for the complete separation of church and state. (Wikipedia) The organization was founded by Madeline Murray O&#8217;Hare who was well known for successfully eliminating the use of Bible reading from public schools.</p>
<p>Petition #2493 would prevent any readings of the gospel on the airwaves of America, along with the banning of all broadcast Sunday worship services on the radio or television. The reason why this irritates me is the fact that many Americans do not have the ability to go to church. My Grandfather loved going to Church, however his Parkinson&#8217;s disease became so severe that it was almost impossible for him to go to mass on Sunday&#8217;s. He was able to tune into Sunday worship services on his television, enabling him to practice his religion conveniently from home. He enjoyed the visual Church experience as it made him feel as if he were in Church.</p>
<p>I think the American Atheists goal is not to help with the &#8220;separation of church and state&#8221; but to push their anti-religion movement. We have all this crap on the radio waves and television that SHOULDN&#8217;T be on the air (mostly MTV derogatory), yet they complain about Sunday worship services?!? In today&#8217;s technology, we can <strong>block </strong>unwanted channels, or simply <strong>move on </strong>to the next with our remote control. </p>
<p>A simple question that the American Atheists would not want to be asked is, &#8220;Why make it more difficult for those who cannot travel to Church to worship God on Sunday&#8217;s??&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s very painful to hear all over the news the Democrat’s and the Republican’s race to the White House. In 2008, we will likely only have 2 to 4 candidates to choose from, which are good odds that the candidate who will win the election, could be just another disaster for America.</p>
<p>Currently, the Democrat’s and the Republican’s are working hard to find their best candidate. However, on both sides of the fence, the candidates are very close among popularity ratings within their own party.</p>
<p>Now here is the problem. Since America is divided amongst the Democrat’s and Republican’s, (well yeah and the few bright ones who are Independent or unspecified) this will truthfully leave us with only 2 candidates to choose from (as the third or fourth likely have no hope). Why not give the American people the opportunity to choose among lets say 6 candidates? Or even more? For example, 2 Republican candidates, 2 Democrat candidates, and 2 Independent candidates? You may ask why I would suggest something like this; well surely you do remember the elections back in 2004! We had to choose between two idiots! We only chose the candidate who seemed to be less dumb.</p>
<p>If we were allowed to choose among 6, or even 12 candidates, I feel that overall the American people would be much more comfortable and relaxed with the coming elections. The odds would be improved that there actually could be a candidate, or two on the ballot that may actually have a brain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">A couple of years ago, I mentioned the name Mitt Romney on my web site as a possible candidacy for President in 2008. <a href="http://www.defendingthetruth.com/">www.defendingthetruth.com</a> is a well established political community that I have created back in January of 2005. Today, the community is very active with valued members across the entire globe.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">When I first mentioned Mitt Romney&#8217;s name, most of the members were not sure as to who Mitt Romney was. They might have known that he was the Governor of Massachusetts, but his successes in life were all left unknown. Since Mitt Romney&#8217;s decision to run for President in 2008, he has become widely known on my web site, on the Internet, and across the globe. Now I do not feel that this is due to the media alone, but his innovative and unique strategies in reaching out to everyone via the Internet.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">If you search on Google for Hillary Clinton, John McCain, or any other candidates, you will retrieve a list of web sites including their personal campaign web pages. The difference between those candidates and Mitt Romney, is the unique strategy I have noticed that Mitt Romney is taking to reach out to the public.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">What is the difference? One word, “YouTube” YouTube is a very popular broadcasting service which allows anyone free registration to gain access to and post random videos whether it be personal, television, comedy, and so on. Mitt Romney was smart enough to adopt this feature by advertising his campaigns on YouTube, posting videos as he reaches out to a global audience. His videos help explain to the people what he stands for, the problems currently faced in America, and how he would make a good President in fixing these problems.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">If you watch many of his videos, you will capture the word “innovation” from many of his speeches. I feel that this word is a strong point in his campaign as he has used innovation to help solve the many problems that has been brought to his attention during his lifetime (investment in Staples, Winter Olympics, Debt to Surplus in Massachusetts, Healthcare for all in Massachusetts, and so on..)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Watch his latest video posted on YouTube below:<br />
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=c70pGVmh5IE" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=c70pGVmh5IE</a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">As you can see, he is reaching out to a global audience on YouTube by asking them what they feel America&#8217;s single greatest challenge is. In just 4 days alone, his video has received close to 300,000 views! Sure you can run expensive campaign ads via the media, but this strategy is much cheaper as it allows you to connect with millions of people via the Internet. What I see in the media are just ad campaigns used as a scare tactics or attacks based on the other candidate. What I see on the Internet is more of a connection between the candidate and the viewers.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Mitt Romney&#8217;s name is receiving more attention thanks to his innovative and unique strategies in reaching out to the people. He may very well be the next President of the United States of America.</p>
