I just found this. THIS is something that might be going on in the minds of the idiots in this administration. They would rather deconstruct OUR COUNTRY than be bothered with WINNING A WAR!!!

No Rush to Escalate
By E.J. Dionne Jr.
Monday, October 5, 2009

At a White House dinner with a group of historians at the beginning of the summer, Robert Dallek, a shrewd student of both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, offered a chilling comment to President Obama.

“In my judgment,” he recalls saying, “war kills off great reform movements.” The American record is pretty clear: World War I brought the Progressive Era to a close. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was waging World War II, he was candid in saying that “Dr. New Deal” had given way to “Dr. Win the War.” Korea ended Harry Truman’s Fair Deal, and Vietnam brought Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society to an abrupt halt.

“WAR KILLS OFF GREAT REFORM MOVEMENTS.”

OH MY GOD!!!

We have an evil Marxist in the WH. Look at his friends, look at his czars, look at the people he surrounds himself with. He doesn’t give a shit about this country. In fact he despises it. He loves himself, power and money. I hope our military is watching and keeping Honduras in mind.

CHECK OUT Mesta’s post number 57!

From “BREAKING: Eight U.S. troops die in attacks in Afghanistan”

To: SE Mom

“It’s amazing, isn’t it, to find ourselves in some really convoluted way on the “same side” as virulent anti-war people? I never, ever believed I’d think it- let alone say it, either.”

That is the same thng that eventually happened during the Vietnam war...by design. The people who had always supported the vietnam war became anti-war when it became painfully apparent that the leadership in Washington had no intention or strategy to win the war.It’s a very sad morning for America. God Bless our military in their hour of need and loss.

“This is not much more to him than an intellectual exercise in differing theories. He is failing his first obligation to protect and defend the people.”

Excellent point. Do we dare to take it a step further and ponder whether the man may actually want America to fail in Afghanistan and Iraq? His radical past would suggest that that may be the case.

Heaven Help Us!

EXACTLY what I was thinking about this morning Penelopesire. I get a sick feeling that the gross incompetance of Obama may be his strategy. Is it his design to purposely lose the war? Make sure any potential conflicts we engage in of the future will be compared to Vietnam AND Obama’s Afghanistan?

MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR MILITARY. They deserve so much more than this Mickey Mouse CIC.

Our thinking is matching up. I think we’re on to something. Until we see otherwise and are proven incorrect.

Cynical heartless b@$&^%$! SEmom posted the link here:

Reverend Wright: Thanks for posting the actual info on the book that Obama’s policy wonks are reading. I kind of figured the book would slant that way. Liberals are so predictable.

Now we have this as additional proof that these people are in dereliction of duty and abusing power!

IMPEACH NOW! IT’S TIME!
