America is Alone
Alone? It may seem strange to some people to think of the United States as alone. I mean after all we get fed day after day with article after article, news story after news story, and politico speak after politico speak about all of our “friends”. Just look at the impressive list Great Britain, France, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Germany, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey. They list goes on and on. Interesting enough Israel rarely gets called our “friend” which I find ironic since their interests actually do coincide with ours…but that is a story for another day.
Lets take a closer look at these so-called friends of ours. Great Britain could arguably make a case for actually being our friend. They more than any country aside from Israel have stood by our decisions since Sept 11. Of course the dirty little secret is that their own country is flooded with radical muslim extremists and so they have much to concern themselves with. But lately under mounting pressure from their European neighbors with whom they have much deeper economic ties than us they have begun drawing back on that support. Led, of course by France and Germany, they are slowly forgetting that without us they would be right along side the one in being subservient to the tyranny of the other. So much for gratitude. France is even worse however. While Great Britain at least seems to have some measure of embarrassment about “forgetting” that without us they would not be a country today, France is utterly shameless about its hatred for America. I suppose there must be some measure of an inferiority complex about them considering that twice in a hundred years we had to save them from their own stupidity but really just a little bit of appreciation would be nice. But alas, France was in NATO much as it would have preferred to be part of Warsaw and after 50 years of suppressing its desire to be communist I suppose spite is all that they have left for us. Germany…well to borrow a phrase we “kicked their butt” twice in the past 100 years, and ever since the fall of the Berlin wall they have moved farther to towards socialism then they have towards capitalism. Lets also, not forget that German Socialism started the last big mess in Europe.
But what about our friends closer to home. Well lets see we have a strangely silent Canada who for some reason failed to express condolences about Sept 11 until days later and Mexico who deems it necessary to insult and snub our president because we don’t want their illegal aliens flooding our borders. Great friends to have. As for the rest of the list of our so called friends I find it offensive that anyone would suggest that such blatant and apparent enemies of everything we hold dear could be friends to us…Who is our next big “friend” CHINA?
So in that sense, yes, we are alone. Desperately and completely alone in the world. That however, despite the pundits and their prognostications, is not a bad thing. Being alone means you are responsible to yourself. No one will help you. No one will come to your aid. When the chips are down no one will buck you up. But it also means you aren’t answerable to anyone else for you actions. America is facing that now.
We are faced with a massive onslaught. The United Nations is trying to turn us into it bank while attempting with every breath to undermine our sovereignty. Euro trash anti-globalist enviro freaks have labeled us as the enemy of the world. Every international organization in the world is out to essential destroy America or rob it blind. And if that wasn’t bad enough we have global Islamic Imperialism waging open warfare against us. And no one comes to our aid. No one offers us help. Instead we get platitudes and arguments. Our own media hails our enemies and labels us the aggressors while the rest of the world tells us to calm down and basically sit on our hands waiting for the next attack. That of course is easy for them to say because the next attack wont be against them. But that isn’t really why they say that. They real reason is because deep down they KNOW we will be hit again and they want it. They dream for it and long for it in their heart of hearts. Deep down under all of their pent up inferiority complexes and resentment they WANT to see America go down.
The cold war ended and despite all of the press America lost. Europe was slowly been subverted to socialism from within and now America stands as an island. A capitalist country surrounded by vultures who want nothing more than to pick the carcass clean. They sit and they wait and they hope for the mulsims to bring us down. They don’t care that when we go the world will plunge back into a darkness the likes of which haven’t been seen since the fall of the Roman Empire. Deep down in their cynical worldview they want that to happen. They would rather see the world burn than America survive, their hatred runs that deep.
Consider this the next time you read an article talking about how this country or that country is apposed to us going into Iraq. Consider that America has no friends. We have no Allies. The world DESPITE the false veneer of civilization that we have covered ourselves with over the last century or two is little more than the barbaric robber barons of the dark ages. Fighting over resources and ideologies. Under the surface of that veneer, that thin patina of arrogant superiority and pseudo nonviolence lies a world of slavering ghouls desperate to take what isn’t theirs and willing to kill to do so. The world hasn’t changed that much and it will not take much to throw it over the edge.
When the Roman Empire was in existence Society and culture reached a level of sophistication that was literally 1500 years or more before its time. With its fall came the boiling over of mans darker nature, the evil in the world that lurks just beneath the surface. That same evil threatens the world now. If America falls, so falls the economies of the world and everything that is good and decent goes with it. If America falls we plunge into the nightmare. Who knows how long until we recover?
So be wary of false friends. Be wary of the jackal who tells the sheep to fire the dogs who protect them from the wolves. Remember that jackals are essentially cowardly scavengers. And the next time you here a story about some country or group who wants America to stop waging its war against terrorists that America is alone. America is alone.
I would end that War in less than 24 hours.
As for Berlusconi, wasn't he voted in?
Very well written
You can tell from the posts just who has a guilty conscience. Neville Chamberlain is alive and well, living in Britain. When we go down, Britain will be no more. What a shame, several generations of cowards.
I don't know about that, but they sure can take credit for starting WWII when they invaded Poland right along with the Nazis. Stalin bears as much responsiblity as Hitler for all of the lives lost.
All Your Bank Are Belong to Us!
"Consider this the next time you read an article talking about how this country or that country is apposed to us going into Iraq."
All Your Spell Checker Are Belong to Us!
This leaves us, if our politicians are honest, in a precarious postition, pull out of the U.N. and have no influence, or hang around being bled by them. Some friends, we have always been alone, I just can't believe this is just now being figgured out.
Well, with the exception of the Israelis.
The bulk of the planets people resent our prosperity and lack the humility to admit that nine times out of ten...we are right.
It is a visceral hate...it will only get stronger as human reasoning gets more wicked.
But in the end...no matter what...truth wins.
As Americans once we can accept the truth of our situation in this world we can remember the words of another lesser regarded American President, Jerry Ford, whose speechwriters on the BiCentennial gave him a wonderful truth about this nation, its people and its history. "The rest of the world may or may not follow, but we lead because the whole course of our history says that we must!"
BTW Anyone with half a brain knows that the UN and the EU are corrupt, highly politicized organizations that are about money--plain and simple. Why did the EU decide to continue giving Arafat $10 million a month after the Israelis proved he'd been stealing billions?
Lastly...Every country in the world resents American wealth and wants to control it but... Did you know that most Americans work more than 40 hours a week with only 2 weeks off in the summer? We work hard for our money. We earn our prosperity. We resent other countries telling us how to spend it. Europe would be well advised to back off their descent into socialism and to close their borders to Islamic maniacs instead of lecturing America. Feel free to hate us or resent us but stop telling us that we're stupid when we say 'Sod off'. Please.
It would show me that you were prone to be a follower instead of a thinker. It would show me that you handle personal stress (your fear of losing your child...by striking it, "repeatedly....in front of your boss....pulling your car over the side of the highway...possibly causing danger to innocent bystanders, just so you could whack your kid.
You've lost this argument with me. Let's just agree to disagree. You raise your children the way you want to. I have no problem with that.
But I would find a replacement the first chance I had. Sorry.
