United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Everyday I read the newspapers (like the New York Times), the web pages/ blogs (such as The Nation), and listen to the news, and see my fellow countrymen turning against America.

I find myself wondering how a person born and educated in America could turn their backs on their country in the belief that they are the true conscientious of the American people. We are letting self-professed diplomats, in movements such as Press for Progress, Code Pink, and Students for a Democratic Society drive the propaganda of the terrorist. Most of these “anti-war” protesters started their efforts for purely political reasons (defeat Bush at all cost), and now are nothing more than puppets for those in the world that believe in the complete and udder destruction of all nations that do not submit to their injudicious ways.

We have let these self-righteous socialist hijack the debate with their aggrandizing and “flower in my hair” nonsense. They offer no solutions other than “it is Americas fault, shame on us,” or the old stand-by, Bush lied. Why don’t we just impeach the President? The Democrats control the Senate and the House, if they believed he lied, they have the power. But they won’t use it. Because unlike the nitwits with the bumper stickers “No one died when Clinton lied,” our representatives know that Bush didn’t lie or deceive America.

These want to be “hippies” scream bloody murder when we involve ourselves in world events, yet turn their backs when tyrants, terrorist and thugs meddle in the affairs of peaceful nations (Spain, England, Germany, France, Iraq, America, Philippines, to name a few). All of these nations have freely elected governments. But the terrorist didn’t like the results, so they make the bombs, brainwash some misguided kid to do their dirty work, and “Allah be praised.”

Wake up America. We are not the enemy. Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of those who lived before us? The Nazis in Europe (20 million dead), Stalin’s purging and forced famine in Russia (20 million +), Mao’s Cultural Revolution (50 million dead), and now radical Islam efforts to fulfill Muhammad’s command of one Islamic nation. Radical Muslims uses the freedoms enjoyed in America and Europe against us. A recent survey of young Muslims in Britain revealed their belief that British law should be replaced with Sharia law. The Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed in most Islamic nations, but thrives in Europe, especially in England and France. They have stated that all nations will fall and submit to Sharia law.

Instead of debating “a non-binding resolution (there’s an oxymoron for you),” we should be supporting a binding resolutions that simple states that “We as Americans support the efforts of our brave soldiers to take whatever steps necessary to rid the world of those that proclaim to be the enemies of peace and freedom, and through their charter attempt to circumvent the authority of sovereign nations to live without threat and fear of their way of life.”

The reality is that these people are not “anti-war,” but anti-American. We shouldn’t let these “self-righteous” malcontents go unchecked. Like those who called for appeasement and isolationism during World War II, we have amongst us a group of people who believe that being a dissent is patriotic. They couldn't be more wrong.

I look forward to the comments calling me a racist and warmonger. I am neither. I am a person who possesses the insight and commonsense that seems to have been abandoned by some of my fellow Americans.
