The Pendragon's Hall

We are now under two weeks until the most important election since the Civil War will take place. I am not panicking but simply reminding my readers of the utter magnitude of this selection of president. This is not a Let's-try-this-for-four-years-and-see-how-we-like-it. This is the election that I believe will decide the fate of our country. Everyone who strongly supports a candidate in any election tries to paint this picture I know but I've never felt this way before, not even in 2000 when I strongly preferred Bush over Gore. One person (not even an American) told me, "It would be like the last good country of the world falling if Kerry is elected." Indeed it would. It would mean the end of standing against evil and calling it what it is. It would mean a return to the Clinton-era of trying to stamp out terrorism with law enforcement and impeded law enforcement at that. It would mean opening ourselves to further attack and exploitation. Yes, I know President Bush can't say that because he's supposed to sound presidential (whatever that sounds like) but it is the truth. It was the Clinton administration's eight years of cutting defense spending and raising taxes through the roof while ignoring legitimate claims of intelligence and defense systems that led like night into day to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And the mess they left the government in due to last minute vandalism and incessantly bad record-keeping made it impossible to sort out in time to prevent the attacks. This is what a Kerry presidency would do. These are people who have no love for their country, no desire to make it better, they only desire their own power and the destruction of democratic liberty in a wave of peacenik socialist countries and terrorist-infested dictatorships. The future of the free world hangs in the balance of this election. Do we really want to take a stand for freedom or do we want to remain free in name only? Do we want to, like the Israelites of old, ask to be "like all the nations around us"? I believe we will know for sure two weeks from today.
