Why we are helpless dealing with enemies on our own soil

From the Cold War to the current Islamofascist threat--do we ever learn?

By Wes Vernon

"With a stroke of the pen, he [President Obama] effectively declared an end to the 'war on terror,' as President George W. Bush had defined it."

So reads a front-page story in Friday's Washington Post.

Stop right there. That is a snapshot of the wishful rose-colored-glasses mentality that opinion leaders in academia, media, big-money foundations, entertainment, etc., have foisted on Americans (with varying degrees of success) for decades. It lasted throughout most of the Cold War (about which more anon), and once the shock of 9/11 wore off, the same mentality took hold in the current war on Islamofascism.

... on our own soil...

merely on our soil? I have news: the enemies of freedom, capitalism, republicanism and the constitution are in powerful concentrations all over the nation, in state houses, governors offices, and the nations capital and white house.

Helpless? Huh. And here I thought we won the cold war -- and did it while upholding the values for which America stands and for which our forefathers fought.

That doesn't sound helpless to me.

Yep, it’s Amatuer Hour at the White House! Obumma’s Utopian vision for the world is going to get a lot of us killed. Ordinary Americans are going to have to protect ourselves as best we can, because the government isn’t.

“we are helpless in dealing with enemies on our own soil.”

that’s because they hide behind children, religion, compassion, “the poor”, health care.....once they hook the population on all that good stuff they propose they set the hook and reel in.

IMHO
