I don’t care who wins as long as it’s Kerry

This is not a pitch for president, but a plea for sanity.

Not that Kerry is a saner choice than Bush. Or that it’s the democrats’ turn to run the show. Or that we don’t have any other choices. Or that choosing the lesser of two “evils” is better than not choosing at all. Or that it doesn’t matter anymore in this country who becomes president.Forget all that because none of it means a damn thing. The only thing that DOES mean anything is the salvation of this nation, with its founding principles, traditions, heritage, and history. The basic qualities that have taken people out from under the heel of tyrants and monarchies and produced a nation of free ideas, actions, and self-determination.

If we lose that, all that we cherish, worship, live by, fight for, and desire for our children, goes down the drain, possibly gone forever. And perhaps most importantly, it is a slap in the face of the One who created us and the Spirit that sustains us.If that means anything at all, why do I believe that John Kerry belongs in the White House?

Start with the reality that this nation is now at the critical point of no return.  Therefore, this is no longer an election of the social, domestic, and so-called bread-and-butter issues. Or about Democrats and Republicans. Or about philosophies, ideologies and agendas.

It is now an election about the survival of America as we know it. Why else would people, even in Europe, think this is the most important election Americans ever had?

Second, it is an election that determines if we will permanently break from the admonitions and warnings of our Founders about the horrendous consequences of interfering in other nations’ affairs.

Third, it is an election that will decide whether this nation reverses its downward spin and is governed once again by men of integrity, dedicated to freedom and independence, respect for our fight for liberty, an unassailable declaration of sovereignty, and a high regard for commonsense.

Fourth, it is an election that will see this nation continue to be either held captive by self-service, unelected officials whose blueprint for the New America includes the subjection of our country to the socialist whims of  new word order advocates—- or governed by statesmen who, while encouraging commerce and communication with other nations, give America’s needs, welfare, and safety, top priority.

Fifth, it is an election that will separate the false prophets from the true patriots and turn back the disastrous programs of empire-building and world domination.

Sixth, it is an election that will reveal whether America has the perseverance, commitment, and guts to preserve and protect the earned-by-blood principles that made it the greatest nation in the world.

No man on earth, certainly no candidate for president—including George Bush and John Kerry— has what it takes to meet the requirements and fulfill the promises of what is stated above. And it would be unfair and unrealistic to expect otherwise of one man.

But in our system it IS one man who is in charge of guiding America through dangerous shoals into the invisible future. And this election will determine who that one man will be.

Like it or not, the choice is George W. Bush or John Kerry.

My choice is Kerry. Not because he is that much different than Bush in his philosophy, stance, and choices for America. Both men come from wealth and influence. Both are Yale men. Both are Skull and Bones men. Both men see America, the only superpower, as a beacon of freedom in a troubled world.  Both men have similar views of problems in the Middle East and other hot spots in the world. Their similarity of views about America’s foreign policy cannot be overstated.

But two things John Kerry has got that George Bush has not.

The element of Time and the mystery the Unknown

Yes, you might ask, but theoretically, don’t both these men have time and the unknown going for them?  Not so.  George Bush has had his time. And in that time we have had the opportunity to witness, up close, what he has done, or not done, for America.

Moreover, Bush cannot count on the unknown to catapult him into a second term— we already know what his record is. Do we have any reason to believe that his future will be much, if any, different?  I don’t.

Kerry, as president, will have four years of time, as Bush did, to prove his own theories for America as Commander-in-Chief.

As for the unknown, since it is impossible to know for sure how Kerry will perform as president. It is an educated guess. Just as it is with any president.

But because John Kerry will have the time to surprise us all by reversing the Bush agenda and giving America back to herself, who’s to say he won’t do this?  I won’t.

So, as I said, this is not a pitch for president, but a plea for sanity

With a nation at stake.
