Excellent, Humorous Political Ad

Drudge had a great posting tonight. He had a link up to YouTube's site which has a copy of David Zucker's humorous, satirical political ad. It is too funny. It is all about Madeleine Allbright's 2000 visit to N. Korea. Do we need to wonder why nukes are available there? The Kum-ba-ya policies of the 90's has lead to the world's only super-power looking like a super-weenie. Talking nice to dictator's has never worked. We seemingly learn nothing from history about them.

We don't have to go back too far to remember what appeasement does. We can look at many examples in recent history--and not just Hitler. Appeasement was also used to deal with the Soviet's for how many decades. Our children were cowering in fear of being nuked and what's the best we can do? Let's have some peace talks. Nothing changes. How many Camp David Peace Accords have we had for the Middle East? Yeah, those worked out so well.

We had better be serious about security in our country or we could see a world far different from the one in which we now live. In the past, we have not needed fences on our border's. Oh, we could have used one with Mexico. We good naturedly groused about the cost of illegals in this country but we didn't really do anything about it. Now it is critical that we do. Not just Mexican nationals are swarming over the borders but also al Quaeda and other terrorists who wish to do harm to this country. Let's not forget Canada. The borders are a little better there but not much. They have many people who immigrate to their country from areas that house terrorists. This is a danger to both countries.

Many Libertarians like to use the comment that "He who would give up freedom for security will have neither freedom nor security." (paraphrase) They are not thinking of the context of the day in which this was written. This was a time in history when curfews were common. There were many laws governing those who dwelt in the towns. Men and women of that day were people who strove for good character and a good reputation. It's a little different today. They were also fighting the British. People who fought according to a whole list and tradition of rules. They were not known to blow themselves up in the town square. I don't think we have to give up Constitutional liberties. We will probably have to deal with a little more of a hassel in our day to day lives. However, if we get to gettin' and take care of business, we might not have to see much change at all.

The November elections will show what is on the mind of the American people. I don't see too many people getting really excited out there. I'm not sure that they are going to want to change horses in mid-stream. I could be wrong--but I don't think so.

That is my political rant for the day.
