Ok--I'm just gonna come out and make my prediction for the reality we will wake up to in less than 6 months. On November 5, we will have elected Barack Obama as our President, and thereby hampering our longstanding support for the nation of Israel, and thereby sealing our fate as a world leader.

I'm not typically that bold with predictions, but I'm attempting to turn over a new leaf of boldness in writing this blog.

Am I saying Mr. Obama is anti-semitic? No? A radical Muslim terrorist? Absolutely not. All I'm saying is that the entire WORLD current is moving against Israel, and I see nothing in Barack Obama which tells me he has the inclination to stand AGAINST the world's prevailing opinion against Israel. I see him as sympathetic toward "the Palestinian cause--siding with those poor oppressed people against those mean bullies of Israel.

Again, I'm not painting Barack Obama as a bad person. To the contrary, I kinda like the guy. But I just get this sense that he has no real heart to stand for Israel, particularly if doing so would stand in the way of "improving America's standing among the rest of the world's leadership."

Let's face it, the vast majority of American's HATE this war. Nothing has stirred up America since Vietnam like the war in Iraq. People want the war ended NOW, no matter what the cost. They want to be "liked" again as Americans. They want us to regain our place of prominence and prestige and popularity in the world's stage once again. Barack Obama promises to deliver that hope--and people are turning out by the boatload to buy into that promise.

And if the world says: "Get out of the Middle East"--Barack Obama and the Democratic ruling majority will waltz out promptly. It's what they have wanted since the war began in 2003. Nothing else makes sense.

And once we pull out of Iraq, the next step will be to systematically pressure us to withdrawing our support of Israel, if only to further the objective of "increased peace in the Middle East." Again, this is what Americans WANT, right? Peace, right? Bring the troops home, right?

I'm no expert in Israeli-American relations. For all I know, Israel itself may be wishing to distance itself from "the evil empire" of Bush's America!

I gladly welcome any educating you readers (all 2 of you, heehee) have to offer.

So anyway, my times up, and that's my politcal insight for today
