Respecting Truth, Acknowledging Reality

If many do not recall (including our President from whom no statement can be found at this time of writing), it is because our culture and its leaders have failed to truly learn. They have failed to broadly inculcate the lessons of that great global conflict -- one that led to such massive death and culminated in such compelling victory over tyrannical evil.

D-day was one of the key moments in WWII, a critical step in the global struggle between two world views. In the totalitarian world view (represented by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan, a side that Communist Russia wanted to fight on as well until they were betrayed by Hitler), government deserved unlimited power over the individual "for the good of society". On the other side stood the United States of America, Great Britain, and other countries that either stood for or were forced to fight for the ideals of individual freedom that can only be realized under limited government. Sadly, I'm beginning to think that, while the forces of freedom won the battles at D-Day and through WWII overall, the totalitarians may end up winning this long war. Today we face freedom's darkest hour. I'm not giving up, just remembering Churchill's words:

We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender . . .

Whatever happens toady, with the United States led by Obama, with Germany and Japan among the best global hopes for freedom, and with Russia again undecided on which side to take, we must never surrender.

“We again face a tyrannical evil with global ambition, an ideology that glorifies death and abhors freedom.”

Yes and it’s from within...from our president and his henchmen, including those in Congress.

“We seem to be coming to a point of mental and moral isolationism, indeed both a virtual and a real disarmament. We are unwilling to see either the far threat or the near manifestation for what they are, though they manifest themselves daily. And because we are unwilling, we are dangerously unable. Hence we conflate enemies and friends, equivocate where there is no equivalence, mis-analyze intelligence, and have no real strategy for deterrence, defense or victory.”

“O”…that stupid SOB who calls himself our ‘President’, could not/would not commemorate D Day or the sacrifice of so many young men to assure America’s future for creeps JUST LIKE himself. What breathtaking arrogance and idiocy!!! This a&^ hat nauseates me!!

I can't remember a President that didn't at least hold a few minutes worth of acknowledgment of one of the most significant days in the history of the USA.

osamaobama is not only a communist, he is a piece of dog shit and he couldn't "kick the ass" of twinkled toed fairy.
