My response to a post

The following post is in response to another blog I read, which on closer inspection revealed the poster is not even an American voter... Since when did the world decide that they know whats better for the people of the United States and have the job of giving Americans advice on how to vote?

In any event, that blog, and some of my other comments can be found here:

Hmm.... President Bush won both the popular vote, and the Electoral College both. He won the largest number of votes of ANY president in the history of the United States, and also more people voted then ever before. Perhaps it is you who are mistaken?

The people have spoken, and this election there was no question and no error, nothing to contest. You do understand that the sheer numbers suggest that many of the votes that went to Mr. Bush came from members of the Democratic party? This election wasn't about partisan politics, propaganda, or being the liberal. Many members of the Democratic party realized it and cast their votes. The rest remain out of touch with reality.

There are people in this world who even now as we post comments here to this blog seek to destroy us and our very way of life, regardless of political affiliation. These people if successful will abolish things that are part of our everyday lives, things such as the internet, free market economies, education, reading... In this world women, democrat and republicans alike can no longer vote, must cover themselves head to toe, can not attend school or university, and are not free to speak their minds or hold a public office.

The thing they seek to destroy is something we have in common regardless of our political views, and that is freedom. The plain hard truth is this: In this world there are people who do not respond to reason, logic, diplomacy, or world opinion and sanctions. In this world there are people who understand only one thing and that is killing. These people can also only be stopped by one thing, being killed. That's reality and fact.

No one, not even the republican party, and George W. Bush wants or likes war. However some people realize that it is necessary to our very survival. We can support the president and the policy of taking the fight to the enemy. Or perhaps we can adopt the more liberal notion of having the world "like" the US, and the President, and maybe we'd be cleaning up after suicide bombers in the shops and cafes, or buses and taxis of downtown New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Washington DC, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston...

Where does your family live? Where do you work? Is it a high rise? Be alert, and aware, because in four years we may not have a George W. Bush in office, we may not have someone who has made it his personal mission to vigorously protect the American people, and for that matter the people of the free world.

After seeing state after state, and county after county vote the way they did, exactly what is it that makes you figure that THEY, the MAJORITY were wrong? Perhaps it is you with the flawed outlook?

I want my children and my neighbor's children to be safe. I want mothers to take their children to malls, and couples go to cafes and not have to fear being blown up by a fanatic that can not live with the knowledge that we are free, and that free people can even embrace Islam, and recognize it as a valid religion.
