Here's my response to Commander Zer0's verbal assault on reason that took place last night. I realize that our Dear Leader's plans to provide al-Qaeda air cover may not materialize, but keep this in mind: We have a failing dictator who's willing to start world War III to distract the country from his varied scandals and Zimbabwe-like economy. Anything is still possible with this pile of human debris in the White House.
Without further ado:
***
For the last couple of days, we've been exposed to an endless stream of war propaganda in support of Chairman Obama's Syrian adventure. Without the slightest bit of mercy, we've been told ad nauseum that it's America's duty to keep the world safe for democracy, we have a responsibility protect, only America can do it, yadda, yadda, yadda by the likes of Bill Kristol, John Kerry, John McCain, and other leftist monsters. In complete defiance of the so-called "Godwin Rule", I'd have to say that Joseph Goebbels would be quite envious of the effort of the political hacks trying to push the United States into a world war.
Before we continue, a little housekeeping is in order. I'm a hawk. I fully supported (and still do) the reasons why the United States went to war in Trashcanistan and Iraq. Both were questions of national security. I'm not a Paultard nor am I a Paleocon isolationist. I believe the United States has the right to do as it sees fit on the world stage when it comes to national defense and defending our actual allies. (Canada, Great Britain, Israel, and the like. Not death-dealing weasels like the inbreds that run Saudi Arabia, the Arab League, and the Muslim Brotherhood controlled Organization of Islamic Cooperation.)
Now, aside from the moral objection a sane, rational person might have about providing air cover for al-Qaeda's Islamonazi "freedom fighters", (which would obviously be the main reason for opposing this lunacy), we have to look another really big reason for screaming "One, two, three, four, we don't want your bullcrap war!": The economy of the United States is near collapse. Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen has called the national debt the greatest threat to national security that we face. We are currently $17 trillion in debt, with another $90 trillion in unpaid liabilities. In other words, you could take every penny the Koch brothers have, every drop of oil in the Middle East, every diamond out of South Africa, and every grain of rice grown in China and still not have enough to pay off the national debt. There simply isn't enough wealth on the planet.
I know there are some who say that this is an utterly heartless view. On the contrary, it's a completely humanitarian view. My children should not be on the hook for this idiocy, nor should my grandchildren who are decades away from being born. They had nothing to do this, just as your children and grandchildren had nothing to do with this either. In addition to paying for the failure of Franklin Dictator Roosevelt's New Deal, Lyndon Bum Johnson's Not-So-Great Society, and our Dear Leader's varied scams from the so called Stimulus to Obamacareless, they'll have this on their shoulders, along with paying for countless "bridges to nowhere". The faint chance that our children and grandchildren would have had to lead productive lives without being taxed to death by our ever expanding Federal Leviathan will be swept away for good, especially if this turns into long, protracted war. (Sort of like the ones we're involved in now that no one seems to want to talk about anymore.) When the economy collapses (and at the rate we're going, that will happen sooner rather than later), there will be misery that will make the Great Depression look like Sunday brunch at the Kennedy Compound.
Here's the bottom line, ladies and gentlemen: We're broke. Our so-called leaders, with less economic sense than a meth addict, have spent us into ruin. We can't afford to support a goldfish, let alone fight a civil war for al-Qaeda. We the People should do everything we possibly can to derail this monstrosity.
It's not about us anymore, it's about our children and our grandchildren. We have no right to inflict this on them.
Ping!
The man that turned in Osama Bin Laden didn’t get the 25M reward Bush set up.
He didn’t get a medal.
He didn’t even get any thank you email from an official in that great city- New York City.
Instead he got prison.
Not one Huessein admin official hs done one thing to secrure his release.
Not one of the DNC owned press has cried out for his freedom.
Obama is at the least a member of the muslim brotherhood, at worst an Al Qaeda operative.
Obama must be arrested, taken to GITMO for aggressive integration to learn who the others in his cell are.
Obama makes a statement ("Assad uses CWs"), and proceeds to the response (I will throw thunderbolts from Mt. Olympus), but notes that a mere mortal (Putin) has offered a simple solution, which will be examined and probably found wanting.
Simple obedience to Zero is all that is required, if Conditioned News Nonsense procedures are followed.
I’m in.
Interestingly enough, Barry admitted that she was on the same side as al-Qaeda last night:
***
“Other questions involve the dangers of retaliation. We don’t dismiss any threats, but the Assad regime does not have the ability to seriously threaten our military. Any other retaliation they might seek is in line with threats that we face every day. Neither Assad nor his allies have any interest in escalation that would lead to his demise. And our ally, Israel, can defend itself with overwhelming force, as well as the unshakeable support of the United States of America.
Many of you have asked a broader question: Why should we get involved at all in a place that’s so complicated, and where — as one person wrote to me — ‘those who come after Assad may be enemies of human rights?’
It’s true that some of Assad’s opponents are extremists.”
I’m no lawyer or anything, but that sounds like providing aid and comfort to the enemy.
No doubt in my mind whatsoever. We’re not out of the woods yet.
As for the “no boots on the ground” BS:
“A Navy amphibious ship with several hundred Marines aboard is now operating in the eastern Mediterranean near five destroyers that could soon launch Tomahawk missiles at Syria.”
OUTSTANDING! Thanks.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
Plunder/death...socialism/totalitarianism
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
What “charter of negative liberties” have these POS totalitarians forced on the individuals of this republic?
Glad you enjoyed it, FRiend!
The others in his cell? That would be every appointee he has placed in his administration.
However, he is not at the top of that food chain. He is a puppet, a mannikin put in place to parrot and do the bidding of his masters.
Excellent essay.
We may have no right to inflict this unpayable debt upon our children and grandchildren, but we have no choice.
That horse has left the starting gate and cannot be called back.
As you so brilliantly point out, there isn’t enough wealth in the entire world to pay this back, and BTW, to whom is the payment owed?
We are destroyed, and our system of creating wealth from our ingenuity, intelligence, and the sweat of our brows has been regulated, taxed and obamacared out of existence.
Our population has been dumbed down in our leftist schools for fifty years, and we do not have the ingrained patriotism from our education system that is required to be a great people anymore.
The little, soulless leftists come marching out of our schools and do great harm to our country because of their washed brains.
Our precious Flag, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are under the foot of tyranny and burning before our eyes.
It’s time, people. It’s time.
It IS time. But who's going to initiate the process?
Hmm, interesting. No reward, hidden away. Something they want to keep hidden?
Are you the author? PM me if you are (and don’t wish to spread it around publicly), or if you don’t care who knows, then here is fine. I applaud your work!
I’m hoping that is has already been initiated by patriots who are younger (MUCH younger) and stronger than I am.
I hope that there are cells forming and joining all over our country.
Should the fight arrive here in middle-of-nowhere Bug Tussle Ohio, I will give it my best shot, literally.
Thanks for the kind words, FRiend!!
I am indeed the author. Thank you for the kind words, FRiend!
You’re most welcome, my friend. I always enjoy your work.
