Is President Obama better for our nation than John McCain would have been?

Glenn Beck is at it again. Last week, he stirred up the liberal media and elitist activist groups by throwing a frog into a pot of boiling water. Literally.

Even though it was made clear that the frog was plastic, animal rights groups used the incident to label Glenn Beck with "cruelty to animals."

Now while I agree that kindness to animals is an indication of righteousness, this is extreme. It was a plastic frog. People pull legs off these creatures to eat... not to mention that if these groups ever see chickens come out of killing cone, it's likely we'll never be allowed to eat chicken in the US and chicken farmers will be fined and jailed.

But frogs didn't stay in the limelight for long. During a network TV interview, Beck said he thought Obama is actually better for our country than McCain would have been. I nearly fell out of my chair. While we all agree that McCain was hardly a viable Conservative candidate, this came from a man who agrees with absolutely nothing our current President does, yet who unashamedly states that John McCain would have us whoopin' the terrorists and have kept our national security strong.

Later, he was interviewed by Sean Hannity and asked about this incredible remark... and I realized he had an amazing point.

If Senator John McCain had been elected, the politics of 2009 would be about Republicans vs. Democrats, what we want, what they want, if McCain was reaching across the aisle and working with the Dems... same old, same old.

But with Barack Obama as our President, the argument isn't about Republicans and Democrats in Congress. There's no easy way out, no doing the Republican thing because I'm a Republican or the Democrat thing because I'm a Democrat. Politicians are now being forced to choose if they will stand by conservative principles or cave to liberal pressure.

Because of President Barack Obama, DC politics are now about if you're a Conservative or a Liberal... you have to choose, there can be no middle road, no moderates, and when the next election comes around, we will know where our leaders truly stand... and it's an incredible thing to have happened to our great country.
