Conscience of a Conservative

It's official...I don't care who wins the presidential election. There, I said it. Anyone who knows me understands how difficult that is for me to accept.

Yesterday, I watched Senator McCain give a foreign policy speech that scared me more than the thought of running into Amanda Overmeyer at the Arni's in Frankfort. Allow me to recount the highlights (or lowlights depending of your point of view).

First, all foreign policy decisions will be subject to the approval of the French, the Germans, and the United Nations. Second, the United States needs to apologize for being strong and prosperous. It's just not fair. Third, global climate change is our fault and we need to ruin our economy to stop it. Fourth, we need to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and stop being mean to terrorists. It's just plain mean. Fifth, we need to unilaterally disarm our nuclear arsenal. This makes about as much sense as Wyatt Earp trying to clean up Tombstone by setting a good example for the outlaws and laying down his gun first. Finally, McCain said that Mexicans are "God's children too." I did not know this before the speech. I will be sure to inform the IRS that I too am a child of God when I inform them that I will no longer be paying taxes.

Can anyone say, "general feeling of malaise?" Time to bring back the misery factor and look forward to "Morning in America- Version 2012."

Here, here, Andy! I'm feeling a more pressing need for prayer all of the sudden.
