Americans have always grown up believing we are the good guys. We fight the wars of the righteous, help the oppressed and free the world from despots and evil dictators.
I am seriously wondering when all that had changed.
Do I have to dig up John Wayne to do battle with evil? Isn’t anyone up to the challenge anymore?
It is no longer an assumption that America is on the right side of history, because now it seems we are on the wrong one or can’t even find the sides at all.
When good men ignore evil and allow it to run free, well you know the rest.
Recent ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas were held and brokered in Egypt after John Kerry botched the previous ones. He wasn’t even invited to participate.
Wow, America not part of the solution?
Obviously we have now become part of the problem.
When America does wrong, its size and power exacerbate its foibles. In the last six years, the U.S. has turned its back on allies, ignored murder and genocide in numerous countries and enabled the most evil Empire on earth to soon obtain nuclear capability.
Am I living in a parallel universe? Can this actually be happening? Sadly, it is.
The U.S. left Iraq to the devices of terrorists and Islamic extremists with no plan in place to protect what American men and women fought and died to protect. And we thought Sadam Hussein was a jerk?
Syria has murdered close to 200,000 of its people, Pakistan has taken billions in payoff money and thrown the US under the bus and Africa, well, is even more problematic than it has ever been.
The United Nations is a total failure and joke in the world, but we continue to support this pathetic sideshow to the tune of two billion plus a year.
Americans are murdered, kidnapped, falsely imprisoned and no one says a peep.
Our borders are open to anyone who feels like strolling over, at a time when America has more enemies who seek its destruction than Colorado has pot plants. Am I dreaming here?
The happiest man on planet earth right now is Vladimir Putin because it is free day for him. And America thinks it is going to stop Mother Russia with a few missing chickens?
Jews and Christians are being murdered all over the world, and the President hops on a plane to inhale clam chowder on Martha’s Vineyard and schmooze with celebrities.
I don’t have enough room on my computer anymore to list all the horrors going on in this world. What the hell happened to our white hat? Did we give it away to all the evil dictators of the world?
Sure, all of us in the civilized world would like to return to the past when our biggest problem was Cuba harboring nukes. When a US president could back Russia down with a phone call.
Ignoring the craziness only intensifies its growth.
Hitler didn’t burst on the scene like a 15-minute rock star but was duly elected by the German people.
That’s the scariest part of all. When people elect their own destroyer. Sort of like a worldwide StayPuff Marshmallow man marching through the planet, and now sadly squashing churches and synagogues in his wake.
The Palestinian people chose Hamas, a terrorist organization, through an election, in lieu of a more moderate government, and now when it has come back to bite them, they blame everyone else for their foolish choices.
Do most Jewish people probably wish Israel was located somewhere less dangerous, like Miami Beach? Maybe, but they didn’t choose where their history would lead them.
I am quite amused by those who wish to condemn and ostracize Israel, and yet I would bet anything that when these same anti-Semites need medicines or technology to save their lives, they are the first to demand the latest Israel advances.
If it all weren’t so tragic, it would be comical.
Over 1,000 French Jews fled that country last year to save their lives, and more leave daily. All the countries in Europe are more anti-Semitic now than Deutschland before WWII. In Germany they are now marching holding signs reading “Gas the Jews.” Seems like old times.
However, this time it’s different, despite the fact the Pope sits in his ivory tower and ignores the plight of Christians throughout the world. He’s not only King of the Church, he’s the Cleopatra of Popes, king of denial. He finally noticed there is a problem, gee maybe he needs to listen to the news.
This time it’s not just Jews that are being threatened and murdered, but also Christians.
The Holy War has begun and is in full swing. Mankind is marching backward at warp speed. Isn’t there some sort of oxymoron to that statement? How can the Hadron Collider, working on manufacturing time travel and the primitive savage beasts trying to take over the world actually exist within the same era?
Where is the United States of America? Why aren’t there marches on Washington now? Why isn’t there an outcry in our Senate against the war targeting the Judeo-Christian world?
It is shocking to me that it is business as usual as sympathizers of evil speak out in favor of terrorism.
Elites in Hollywood, who have no concept of the fact they are next on the hit list after Israel, speak out as though they are some righteous bunch saving humanity.
What a joke.
Years ago Mel Gibson made racist and anti-Semitic remarks and was ostracized and condemned. Today anti-Semitism is very chic and acceptable in Hollywood, especially by self-hating Jews. I rarely consider myself normal, whatever that may be, but I am beginning to wonder if normal exists any longer.
Unfortunately, the world is now in a position where it must choose sides.
When decent people watch as Christians are forced to escape to a mountaintop in Iraq like a replay of Masada and little innocent children stand with guns keeping watch, there is a serious problem here.
Where once the US was a problem solver, now it is a Band-Aid fix. Admitting we were caught off guard by a bunch of savages, if that’s even true, makes our CIA look like kiddy day at the gym. Dropping in food and sending a few jets in after the enemy has taken a stronghold is laughable.
I only hope that the American Eagle, who I understand is old and pretty worn out by now, can fly again.
Without him soaring over the world and fighting evil, good people will have nowhere left to run.
Elections have consequences.
Now we have to live with them.
And I want the “Blue” designation back for the Republican party!
ABC stole that from us sometime during the Clinton years, once they realized that in War Games the REDS were always the Commies.
~Lord Kenneth Clark
Between a corrupt, statist government and a culture that promotes and celebrates depravity, America just isn’t a “white hat” country anymore. Moral decline cultivates broader declines.
Some folks still brag about having not voted for a Mormon which, in fact, makes the accessories before the fact to all the cimes our current Sultan Obama commits and will commit right along with the democrat fascist faithful who openly cheer him on.
Right on. The way to take it back is to simply USE it the right way. It’s what I do.
“I only hope that the American Eagle, who I understand is old and pretty worn out by now, can fly again.

Bears repeating, ‘cause it’s true.
I didn’t vote for Willard because he’s Mormon. His religion was irrelevant. I wouldn’t vote for Willard because he was a lying Socialist weasel who did an execrable job as Governor and wasn’t fit to serve as dogcatcher.
As opposed to the guy you helped into office?
Willard RINOmney was selected by the GOPe and had the primary stolen for him - as he candidly admitted. The Republican Party is the problem.
I voted for Virgil Goode, the only Conservative running. My vote made no difference in the outcome, anyhow. TN votes Republican now regardless. Of course, Willard was as much a Republican as Plugs Biden.
As I said, I don’t vote for liars and Socialist scum just because they have an “R” after their name. If Hillary decided to become a Republican tomorrow, would you vote for her ?
Yup. Same for McCain in 2008. The GOP Establishment only wants leftist ringers to oppose the Democrats and to stop Conservatives from being nominated.
‘For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.’
For want of a more Conservative candidate, a Nation was lost........
It changed when privates were told shut up
when they raised questions about Obama's constitutional eligibility, noting that the military would be obligated to remove him if he was found ineligible.
It changed when people were forced to support abortion against their conscience.
It changed when people were told that they cannot use the Constitution for their defense and instead have to rely on precedent.
It changed when people were forced to support the government stealing from them [withholdings] and being told that their opinion holds no weight.
It changed when we as a people obeyed when told to sit down instead of standing for Truth, Justice, and The American Way.
Excuse me, but how would Romney be better than Obama?
The two are virtually identical politically.
“More Conservative” was never an issue with Willard as Conservatism was never something he possessed. Nor honesty, nor integrity, nor character, nor...
More specifically, refusing to breed has consequences (and the election results are one of them). The people who grew up watching John Wayne are contracepting themselves into extinction.
Fubar Obama promised change. He wasn’t specific on purpose.
Of course, producing more White people is no guarantee for a successful Conservative future. If it was, New England would make the Southern states look as left wing as North Korea. White people also made the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, too.
