Collins Report

Saying John McCain is the only candidate that wants to win the war on terror retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North has endorsed the Republican front runner. Col. North, a man who has been to Iraq more times than any politician, warned of the serve consequences of a loss in this battle with those who want to murder Americans.

As an American, a Marine and a most knowledgeable observer, North has stepped forward to support the safety of America. He recognizes the danger we are in and the best course of action to win out over terrorists. He is a conservative who sees national security as the central issue of the election.

Given the chance, the Islamist terrorists would capture and torture Oliver North to death, even before they would turn to us.

By contrast, Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan has endorsed Barrack Obama.

Should the same terrorists ever gain control of America they would recognize “Brother Farrakhan” as a hero.

Farrakhan’s endorsement came during a speech in which he favorably compared Barrack Obama to the founder of the Nation of Islam.

Farrakhan has called Jews and other Americans bloodsuckers, but he is more widely noted for calling Jedaism a “gutter religion.”

Minister Farrakhan lauded Barrack Obama as a young man that will change America and make America better.

The NOI is known for recruiting from inside the worst prisons in America and elsewhere. Richard Reid and Malcolm X come to mind.

The United States Marine Corps recruits patriotic Americans, some who fight and die for our freedoms and some who are awarded Medals of Honor.

Those who hate John McCain enough to join Farrakhan in supporting Barrack Obama by voting for him or staying home to help me win, will have to reconcile these few basic facts for themselves.

I am an American conservative not a conservative American. To me they are two very different things. I recognize the extreme danger America would from a Democrat president.
There is no chance I would ever vote for a Democrat or stay home. America is too important to me. I am sick of people playing politics with the future of my country.

Given the choice between the conservative movement and my country, I will vote for the safety of America in a heartbeat. I will never vote to teach the country a “lesson” with a Democrat president. I don’t play with my family’s safety. The election of either fallen away Muslim or a woman will infuriate our Islamist enemies. The “experts” playing with this fire can make believe this won’t be the case, but they are wrong.. But we should not allow them pick our president you say. I agree.

The Democrats are for higher taxes, open borders and Ruth Ginsbergs. McCain may/may not give us higher taxes, he may be persuaded to close the borders. We will have a better chance of getting a Roberts not a Ginsberg from.
The real issue is national security. There is no comparing a Democrat Commander in Chief with McCain in that position. With Iraq is becoming a winning situation, why are so many conservatives willingly joining liberals in making believe the War on Terror is over and we can start spending the “peace dividend?”

I’m 100% pro life. McCain is about 95% pro life. Either Democrat is zero pro life and in fact Obama supported a bill to euthanize inconvenient born babies.

We won’t get a truly conservative president this time. We can always rebuild the conservative movement during and after McCain, but we can never rebuild America after Democrats destroy our America.

In all the excitement of last night’s primary results an important exit poll item was reported with no follow up comment. While gushing about how 80% of Democrat party primary voters thought “They were ready for a Black man or a woman to be president of the United States.” Hey that sounds great. Eighty percent is a big number. Nevertheless, in the world of politics sometimes less is more. These twenty percent of Democrat primary voters are obviously the most devout liberals in their party. This revelation, whether an admission or projection, indicates the converse is true, twenty percent of them DON’T think either a Black man or a woman can be acceptable as president. What do the vast number of Democrats, those who did not vote, think?

If only twenty percent of Democrats have reservations about Obama and Clinton how can either possibly win? She is a tough political operative backed by the best political consultants. It is not difficult to see them cut that number in half. Democrat voters could be persuaded to vote for her.

Obama would be a different story. He would have to deal with the Bradley Effect. In California before the air came out of Clinton’s balloon, this factor was very evident. Obama “won” every poll and the last one by 13 points. He lost by 10 points. Liberal Democrats, the ones who vote in their primaries, the heart of the Democratic Party lied and when push came to shove they could say they were backing Obama, but they could not vote for Obama. Truth be told, if Obama is the nominee the twenty percent doubt factor will be more likely to swell rather than shrink.

Twenty three points in California, twenty by admission, this election may not be a Republican defeat after all.

The movement was in critical but treatable condition. How to save this patient from likely death was the question. How long the it had to live unless something was done was asked. About nine months was the answer. Because the patient is the Conservative movement, that was alarming.

Some wanted to try aggressive treatments to extend the patient’s life until a more permanent cure was found. Others suggested amputation of the gangrenous portions of the of the movement’s body. “That procedure was tried during the last crisis with damaging effects. Can’t we consider other options?” we heard.

“But it will never be the same anyway, no matter what we do,” a voice added.

“Let’s try getting involved and helping in whatever ways we can to save the movement” another said.

Tempers flare, and the rhetoric heated up.

Finally a voice insists “It brought this on itself. We should just give up and stay home so we won’t be associated with this loss. In fact let’s switch sides. That’ll teach the movement a lesson.”

Someone else asked “But we are the movement. How will switching sides help? Why punish us all because you don’t want to try to save our movement?”

“Shut up and get on our “defeat- will- give- us- an- out, train” He was told.

And so it went. In an upside down twist of logic, those who wanted to save as much of the patient as possible were told they were trying to bully others into a ‘shut up and help us raise this white flag’ posture.

In the end, the defeatists who had no stomach for even trying to save what was savable gave up. Too them the patient was sick so they poisoned him to hasten its death.

Their decision delighted enemies of the conservative movement… With more than two hundred and fifty days of projected life, the movement’s care takers decide to give up quietly and let the movement die a slow death because they don’t have the courage or conviction to continue to fight. Their personal concerns took precedence over the good of the country. They all felt guilty for about five minutes on Election night but quickly shook it off. They reveled at the chance to whine and complain their own actions had given them with the death of the movement.

In this current climate, I guess it is mandatory to start by saying this: I do not like John McCain.

I like socialist women and the most liberal senator in America less, far less. Our party’s primaries have been hijacked by casual voters, liberals, moderates and even Democrats.

Our Evangelical friends have to shoulder much of the blame for giving us McCain. They have unfairly called Mormonism a cult and now all of us will suffer the consequences of their unwillingness to accept Mitt Romney, a good and decent man. The only remaining conservative, Mitt Romney has now dropped out. I’m damned mad about this, but I can’t do anything about it. John McCain’s name will be listed next to our line come November. He will be elected. America will not select either Democrat over him. Many Hillary hating Democrats will vote for McCain.

Leading the fight against McCain, the conservative radio talkers did all they could. They are now the de facto leaders of the conservative movement. For now we and they have to accept the facts. Some of them insist McCain can’t win. I very much disagree.

Nevertheless, the real culprit is the Republican establishment which engineered this situation. They have put us in the position we are in. They are forcing us to choose between satisfying our hatred for them as sell outs and our hatred for a socialist Democrat administration.

Each conservative has to make a personal decision. We can swing wild in blind anger or carefully think things through. If you are old enough to vote, you are old enough to have been disappointed or you really haven’t lived much of a life. We don’t always get our way. If we jump wrong now, out of anger and frustration, we will insure that we will be putting America, no our own families in danger. The danger of picking wrong at this point is history can not be over stated.

I am not saying our grievances against John McCain are unimportant. They are very important. I am saying that in all of the buzz about these primaries we seem to be losing the fact that vicious Islamist terrorists want to kill us and will kill us and our children if we have the wrong Commander in Chief. Yes, McCain’s various Bills have been terrible for America. Nevertheless, a willingness to put aside the importance of a continued unrelenting war against terror and make believe a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama would keep us safe from further attack is where I step off of the anti- McCain bandwagon. These three people are simply not interchangeable.

It is the Democrats who have let hatred of George Bush and America delude themselves into thinking the war is won, over and done with and now we can start thinking about how to “spend the peace dividend.” Conservatives don’t believe in this position. I believe deeply that we should have closed borders; no abortions, private ownership of guns, low taxes and certainly for a strong military. With McCain we might not get some of these; with either Democrat we will certainly get none of them.

The threat from Islamists terror will never end. If we let our guard down or even look like we have done so, these savages will attack us. They hate Obama because to them he is a turn coat. They hate Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. They are not sophisticated enough to understand that “well you know Hillary and/or Barack will step up.” No sir.

We are at war. If we lose this war we won’t have to worry about high taxes. We won’t have any say about taxes. If we lose this war we won’t have to worry about abortions, there won’t be any under Islamist rule, nor will we have to be concerned about illegal aliens – they won’t be coming. I hate John McCain’s politics but the war on terror has to be won. Domestic issues are very important, but if we lose the country nothing else matters. Democrats dismiss the threat of terrorism as a “Bush scare tactic.” This conservative knows better.

If McCain is our nominee

Obviously, the Republican Party’s primaries are being flooded by people who are either A) not usual primary voters and/or B) are actually not even registered Republicans. Tuesday’s GOP primaries said it again, just 75% were Republicans.

I voted for Mitt Romney, but the Christie Whitman wing of the Republican Party is apparently in charge and poised to get their man the GOP nomination.

We can withdraw and let the worst happen, or we can vote for their man as a way of protecting our nation from even more harm. In 1992 some of our base stayed home or voted for Ross Perot. Their thinking was: after four years of Clinton America would come crawling back to conservatism. They were very wrong. He got eight years of Clinton and a military almost powerless to defend us. Staying home or voting Democrat is not the answer.

While George Bush has been very disappointing would you have preferred Al Gore as Commander in Chief on Sept. 11th? We got tax cuts and a strong military from Bush. We would have gotten taxes and appeasement from Gore. The worst rino is always better than the best rat, any day.

The numbers show that Hillary Clinton is the most polarizing figure ever to run for president. With McCain as our “choice”, will some conservatives stay home or worse? Probably, but it won’t mean anything. Fully 17% of Democrats say they would use their vote to stop her. Independents who don’t want another Clinton administration number nearly half. The knock out power of these two factors alone will more than off set the number of conservatives who stay home.

The Tom Bradley effect indicates Barack Obama will be finished the day after he gets their nod. Nevertheless, he won’t be their nominee because of the structural edge Clinton has in super delegates.

I believe a large portion of rank and file Democrats will not vote for either “The woman or a Black man.” Don’t you know many Democrats you could hear saying, “I won’t vote for a woman or a Black man?” or say it in courser words? I can say this, knowing it is true because I don’t make my living in the public eye. I don’t have to be concerned about telling the truth. The truth is the truth.

The “experts” who predict a tough race in the general are living in a fantasy world.
Given the choice between a Black Muslim socialist (as he WILL be seen) or a White female socialist versus a White War hero socialist, America will vote for John McCain.
This being the case, our job is to work to keep his feet to the fire. We must work to elect conservatives to the Congress to balance the socialist who is very likely to win. America needs us to do this. We can not stay home. We must elect more conservatives.

With John McCain pitted against either leading Democrat, he wins Pennsylvania. If he wins the Keystone State, because the demographics are the same, he wins Ohio and Wisconsin and very likely Minnesota, Iowa and maybe even Michigan. What states would either Democrat take from the GOP column? Maybe Virginia and Colorado, but
either Democrat will be so scary that we will get a new understanding the word polarization.

As Archie Bunker, the quintessential Democrat would describe the Democrat’s chances “It aint gonna happen.”
