Last night, I was thinking about the danger of putting Barack Obama into the White House. It led me to an analogy. The analogy came about because of an article I was reading about baseball.
The situation is this: You are the manager of a baseball team. It is the World Series and it is the seventh game. You can choose between two pitchers to start the game. One of them is a rookie that was called up from class ‘A’ ball (a lower minor league) only yesterday. The other is a grizzled veteran who has been through the season with the team and has played for many years. Which one do you choose? You can go with the promise of youth or the known quantity of experience. If you choose wrong, you could lose the game and the series. If you choose right, the World Series Championship is yours.
Choosing between Barack Obama and John McCain is much like my analogy. Obama is the unproven rookie from class ‘A’ ball. Obama has only been a state senator for a few years and almost no experience as a US Senator. McCain is the grizzled veteran. He has been around for awhile. You know what to expect from him. The choice is one you have to make. The game is the war against Islamo-Fascism. If you choose wrong, the war will be lost and we will have to become Muslim or die. If you choose right, the war will be won and all will be well. We will keep the US and the world will be a much better place to live in.
What do we know about Obama and his positions on the war against Islamo-Fascism? First, we know that he does not believe that we are fighting terrorists in Iraq. I am not sure who he thinks we are fighting there, but it is not terrorists. He does believe we are fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. He would concentrate his efforts there. His efforts against other Islamo-Fascists like Iran will be strictly talk, no action.
What do we know about John McCain and his positions on the war against Islamo-Fascism? First, we know that he does believe in killing terrorists wherever he finds them. He will be tough on Iran and will not allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb. That may mean going to war against Iran, but it would prevent a terrorist from getting a nuclear bomb that could destroy New York in one bright explosion.
In looking at the two choices, it is obvious that if you believe we are fighting against terrorists you would have to vote for John McCain. If you do not believe that we are fighting terrorists, you would vote for Barack Obama. I do have one question for those who do not believe we are fighting terrorists, who are we fighting? If you do not believe we are fighting terrorists, you should open your eyes and do some research. Then you will discover that the people we are fighting want us either to become Muslim or die. That would be enough for me to want to fight against those people. John McCain will be our best choice for Commander in Chief, not Commander of Chief as Barack Obama likes to put it.
