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.
I didn’t mention “white”; the people (of all colors) who held John Wayne characters up as an ideal basically failed to instill the same culture and values in successive generations. Whites are to blame for the liberal mess into which we’ve descended; it is still a white country, and many of them have opted for a politically correct nanny-state (similar to national socialist and Bolshevik states from decades ago).
Blacks and Hispanics fifty years ago had stronger families and a better work ethic as well; they’ve also descended into dysfunction. It is just a function of a post-Christian country.
>>>Excuse me, but how would Romney be better than Obama?
The two are virtually identical politically.<<<
Two Peas in a Pod.
It takes one to know one.
Mirror Images.
Identical Twins.
We’re damn lucky Obama pulled it out. I had no idea how bad it would have been had Romney squeaked by him. Close call.
Don’t forget, Romney is one of those darn Mormons, not a member of a mainstream Religion like that wonderful Muslim Faith that Obama adores.
We also wouldn’t have had the two fine Jurists now serving on the Supreme Court, Kagan and the Wise Latina. You know what they say, you can never have enough Lesbians on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Unfortunately.
You mean Willard would’ve appointed Conservatives to the bench ? Go ask Brian and Beverly Mauck how that worked out for them, Hoss.
4 am ...
What are you talking about? Oh, you thought I was being sarcastic. Well I was. LOL
I was just bolstering your Opinion that Obama and Romney are Identical in every way. You said it, not me.
Since Romney ISN’T President, I have no idea what he would or would not have done. All I know is that we would have had some say in Policy. We pressured RINO Bush 43 when he was pushing Amnesty and Harriet Meyers didn’t we?
Obama hates us, and I’ve never felt that any President in my Lifetime actually hated half the Population, but he does.
Not a big Romney fan, but I DESPISE (pick your adjective) Obama and everything he stands for, how about you?
Yeah, I must be a Racist...
Just to be clear, I supported Newt in the Primaries but he didn’t make the cut. Since I will NEVER support a Democrat, I simply follow the Levin Rule.
I don’t waste my Vote on third, fourth or fifth Party spoiler Candidates. I learned my lesson back in 1992 when I wasn’t paying attention and Voted for Perot. I’ll never live that down, but not supporting the old RINO Bush 41 gave us Clinton and now Obama. Elections have consequences, or so I’ve heard about a million times here on FR.
Not going to get in a Pissing Contest with you or anyone else here. We live in Obamaville now and nothing we say here will make any difference.
We come here to vent, and I have no illusion that anything anyone Posts here changes minds and hearts out in the cold cruel Liberal Media controlled World.
Have a good night, I’m hitting the sack.
I followed Willard very closely, pretty much for 20 years now since his first run for the Senate in 1994. As much as I soured on Dubya, I can tell you these two aren’t remotely in the same class of people. If you think you’d have had any influence policy-wise with steering him in the “right” direction, I’m here to tell you that you’re fooling yourself.
Willard has had for his entire adult life, his own personal political agenda which is far afield from anything remotely having to do with Conservatism. Indeed, his agenda dovetails mostly with his parents, who were both committed left-wingers who tried using the Michigan Republican Party as a vehicle for their misguided agenda.
Do I know what he would’ve done as President ? Absolutely. You think he’d have “undone” ZeroCare ? Forget it. ZeroCare derives its very existence from his own Socialist health care agenda he created in Massachusetts. Killing ZeroCare would’ve been aborting his own personal creation. It was again, Willard who inspired Zero to create it and push it through a radical Congress. Indeed, had Willard not served his execrable term as Governor, Zero would’ve lacked a blueprint for his plan of action. That Willard could even remotely oppose Zero’s plan on the campaign trail flew in the face of all logic and reason.
Judges ? We’re talking about a guy who lined the courts of Massachusetts with left-wingers. He met with the extremist judicial applicant for all of 15 or so minutes before setting her on the bench where she proceeded to set free a butcher on the public (who murdered the Maucks). Why did he give said applicant such a minimal amount of time ? Because he had his lunch at Ruth’s Chris awaiting him, and that was just more important than vetting a judge with a radical agenda.
When it came out during his first farcical run for President in 2008, he was more indignant that it might make him look bad or be blamed on him rather than the murders of the young Mauck couple.
Amnesty ? You better believe he’d have continued the policies of open borders we saw under Dubya. He’d have reveled in the fact that it would split the party. A party he has absolutely no use for (reference the fact of what he did with the MA GOP and made sure there would be no Republican to succeed him in office - leaving an inept and clueless cypher to defend the party there, an inept and clueless cypher he personally went to the mat to make sure was nominated as his Lieutenant over an infinitely qualified individual who had put in years of hard work).
I can go on if you wish, since this is nothing I haven’t stated before on innumerable occasions for most of the past decade.
Half the problems we have are due precisely to these Trojan Horses we allow in to our highest offices and nominations. It’s not Conservatives that put us in this quandary, it’s the liberal and establishment ones. The same ones far more comfortable with Democrats in office than a committed Conservative.
Before you guys say how it’s my or others fault because we refused to vote for or support these Willard or McCain types, consider that it is these individuals who paved the way for Zero’s coronation. If they put as much energy into sabotaging the Conservative agenda, indeed, the GOP itself, as they did into their own fall campaigns, perhaps they’d have won. But that’s not the role they played. Theirs is to keep the GOP and Conservatism marginalized/weak and off the playing field lest their Democrat allies have to actually defend themselves and what they’ve done to this country.
So next time you say how much better you think Willard would’ve been and how he’d have not been like Zero, consider what I’ve said, and realize precisely what role he has played... and what role he may try to play again for 2016 to either Hillary or his fellow Massachusetts radical, Fauxcahontas.
Just like every other country's citizen's believe!
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
Just think we have the next 10 years of Hillary Clinton to listen to and even worse to look at.
I am including the next 2 years where we will hear how she is the most brilliant woman on the planet.
Oh??
The Old Testement records a different story.
Psalm 33:12-22 (KJV)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
Kings and Chronicles show what happens to a nation as it veers between being led by the righteous or the vile...
And then; to 'help the children'; this country started subsidizing those who do NOT work and subsidizing those who produce 'children' outside of a 'family'.
But we DO have knowledge, LOTS of it, about what he HAS done!
How do you KNOW this?
Me; too.
But it's the GOP ruling class that "didn't learn"!
WHY do you 'think' this?
Do you need to change the station?
SPOT ON! Where is the article on the site? I want to link to it on FB?
