The key cornerstone of Blue Collar Conservatism is a robust national defense. And, without hesitation-- that means a powerful and dominate military that can (if need be) eradicate Islamo-thugs and other extraneous matter in under a microsecond.

Pathetically, President Barack Hussein Obama (aka Capitulator in Chief) rather give interviews on Arabic TV in attempt to bring our mortal enemies to heel with his embarrassing mea culpas and syrupy oratory. Obviously, he ardently clings to the Jimmy Carter world-view that it’s better to dialogue with cretins than to kill them.

And that is why Obama's Stimulus Bill offers zilch, zip and nil for national defense. In fact, the President is proposing to cut overall military spending by at least 10 percent. Let's remember, while he is 'laboriously' musing over this cut--our nation is currently fighting two wars.

Some of these cuts would include: the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter ($6.1 billion), the F/A-22 Raptor ($4.5 billion), the Marines’ V-22 Osprey ($1.3 billion), the DIG 1000 Destroyer ($3.5 billion), and the Army’s Future Combat Systems ($3.7 billion).

Former Marine, and political pundit--Oliver North expressed his disgust over the cuts: "Even though Iran succeeded in putting a satellite in orbit this week -- demonstrating the capability to launch nuclear-tipped ICBMs.... ballistic missile defense ($8.9 billion) is on the chopping block as well."

Blue Collar Conservatism also espouses the virtues of tax cuts (marginal rates, corporate rates, capitol gains, payroll, etc.) and a less intrusive government. But a strong national defense (a moral imperative) trumps all. Why? Because if our nation cannot defend itself--all else is rendered futile.

Let us pray that President Obama will come to understand this overriding point before our nation finds itself choking to death on a mushroom cloud.
