As “Dear Leader” BHO continues his fast paced journey towards his vision of devastation and economic ruin of America, one has to wonder what he and his legions of followers have in mind. That brings us to the question of, how much longer do we have. The following may provide some insight as to what BHO and his minions have in mind.
BHO has gone around the U.S. Constitution, doing as he pleases by arbitrarily changing laws as written. He has also devastated our Military by budget cuts and purging top military leaders. He has issued orders to the Military that place vast numbers of capital equipment in one location providing any enemy with the opportunity to devastate much of our fighting force. Much of our capital equipment is used as a deterrent to attack yet has been gathered for easy destruction. He has so often lied to or threatened our allies that none of them trust us. As corrupt as the Government of Afghanistan is, it is still better to have them on our side, but BHO has set the example of abandonment as demonstrated by Iraq. BHO was in such a hurry to leave Iraq a vacuum was left behind that pulled in the terrorists and Iraq has since been left in turmoil. BHO even told the terrorists and malcontents when it would be safe for their return and return they did. Since there is little to no news about Iraq people assume that the country is stable and a strong friend, nothing could be farther from the truth. BHO and his minions can not even get a Status Of Forces Agreement(SOFA)negotiated with the Afghan Government. The Afghan Government recognizes that BHO can not be trusted and would rather cut a deal with the Taliban than allow Americans to remain. Many American lives and much national treasure has been spent, no wasted, on these two countries, and nothing positive came of the sacrifice and waste. After the American Military departure from Afghanistan, BHO has again told the enemy when we will completely withdraw, there will also be little if any news about Afghanistan. Americans will again believe all is well and right. Both of these countries could have been shining examples, but no, the failed policies of BHO and his minions have left one as a terrorist training ground and the other with an uncertain future, but most likely a resurgence of the Taliban will be their fate. BHO and his administration has to say the least has limited foreign policy experience and every move or action they have taken has caused only further destabilization, turmoil and upheavals in the Middle-East. al-Qaeda and their splinter-groups have benefited greatly from the foreign policy blunders of this and previous administrations the biggest gains they have made have not been by their successes, but by our failures. We have once again won all the battles and still managed to lose the war. Now Russia is in place to be the next to benefit from our failures. Who comes next? China? North Korea? Cuba? Iran? Syria? I will go with Iran being the next to benefit. The only people in the past five plus years that can count on us are the terrorists themselves, our friends and allies can not trust us. Israel may become the one who suffers the most from BHO and his perverted ideas and his failed foreign policy or will it be the lack of one. Then who suffers? South Korea? Taiwan? Japan? America?
The mere fact that BHO has threatened Russia is laughable. Putin knows from experience that dealing with BHO and the state department is no challenge. He has already beaten BHO in Syria. He will beat BHO in The Crimea as well and quite possibly in The Ukraine. Russia has had over twenty years to prepare for this, America has had the same amount of time for prevention. The time wasted would have been a good time to remember “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The warnings were sounded, but no one listened or heeded the warnings. Putin and the Russians sat idly by, at least appearing to de idle, they were waiting for the “perfect storm”. The U.S.A. also sat idly by, thinking that the world was at last peaceful with the demise of the U.S.S.R. With peace in the world America began the process of even greater social reforms, but social programs require money, a lot of money. America began borrowing money, a lot of money from our former enemies and countries that were considered at best unstable allies and even ourselves(The Federal Reserve). The “perfect storm” they waited for was none other than BHO, the media outlets, the liberal left, and the staggering national debt. When all of these are combined they provide Russia with their “perfect storm” and patience paid off. Russia and the rest of the world has watched as the media outlets have never, in earnest criticized BHO on any of his failures even if they resulted in further destabilization abroad or at home. The media outlets are still in love with BHO. The world has also watched as BHO continues to destroy the U.S. Constitution without even a whimper from the media or the establishment politicians of either party as they only fight to save their self-serving hides. Russia roared in with the storm, BHO went on vacation and got in a little golf, but he at least claims to have made a few phone calls. I wonder if the NSA was listening, we need confirmation.
I personally find that BHO speaking out of both sides of his mouth a bit confusing. He demands that Putin and Russia respect the borders of The Ukraine, yet we have laws for the protection of our own borders he does not and will not enforce them. He has not once demanded that Mexico or any other nation respect our borders. He declared the vote by the people of The Crimea was unconstitutional, yet he is constantly violating the U.S. Constitution. He along with the U.N. instituted and funded a program of voter ID cards for an African country, yet voter ID here in America is seen as a hindrance to voting and may even violate civil rights. As to the matter of threatening to impose sanctions that is also laughable. How can you impose financial sanctions against a country you must give money to if you need a ride to the ISS. You must have forgotten that you destroyed our space program and now America must rely on the Russian taxi service. But the media will praise and support you. You must have also forgotten about the no-bid contract awarded to Russia to provide equipment to the Afghani Army due to their lack of education and the complexity in operating U.S. supplied equipment. How much was that contract and did it include spare parts? The imposition of sanctions is nothing more than political maneuvering or as some would say, smoke and mirrors, regardless it is meaningless.
Maybe you thought Putin would “tuck his tail and run” if you spoke, Putin is not the liberal media and does not get a “tingle up his leg” at the mention of your name, nor will he respond to idle and meaningless threats. Putin is a “Soviet” much like the ones that I spent the early part of my Military career training to fight. He like other communist leaders understand force and power. Seventh Corps remained in Europe for a reason. Eight Army remained in Asia for a reason. The “Cold War” did not end with the Berlin Wall being torn down, the lines were simply moved.
You must have, at sometime, issued an Executive Order demanding that the media, congress and the numb-minded citizens obey and follow you without question. I did not get that Memo.
The answer to the question of how much longer do we have, is that it is up to the people, but only if the government allows the voice and the will of the people to be heard.

He can see the prize from his throne
Dear Leader BHO can see the prize and it is now within his grasp. The GOP is busy fighting among themselves. The country is busy watching the crisis unfolding in The Ukraine and The Crimea and speculating on the missing airliner.
BHO will move forward with his ideas of immigration reform. As it stands now he has already threatened to act alone if Congress fails to act, he has a phone and a pen. He has two chances to accomplish this, force Congress to do something now or wait until the mid-term election results are in. He has already set a dangerous and unchallenged precedent of arbitrarily changing and amending laws to suit his goals. If you are forced into passing a bill that is to rigid, the Senate will either not bring it to the floor for debate, or send it to the President to sign knowing that he will arbitrarily change the law to fit his agenda. If you are forced into submitting a bill that is to weak you will surely lose the election. If he waits until the mid-term election results are in and the Democrats lose the Senate and the Republicans retain the House of Representatives he will use his phone and pen. Any way this plays out BHO is in a win-win situation.The Republican party can still lose in the mid-terms, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The Republicans should have already examined their core values and principles and recognized that The Tea Party is now what they should have always been. If the Republicans take the Senate and retain the House for the sake of this Nation elect a leadership that has some “Backbone”, and set about repairing the damages that have been done.
The stage is already set for the moochers and social parasites to do the bidding of BHO. While Congress was either being self-serving or asleep at the wheel this nation was hi-jacked and went of course. The military cuts are only the beginning of what is to come. Shrinking the Military to pre-World War 2 numbers is an insane course of action given the political instability and radicalism of the world. Pay reductions and cutting benefits will do little to maintain a strong and capable fighting force and the numbers of veteran and experienced Military members will decline, maybe that’s the plan, the numbers of career service members will surely decline. With fewer retired Military members to pay this self-serving and narcissistic President and his “tool” of a Secretary of Defense and the other Cabinet Members will use the savings to pay off their voluntary slaves. We as Military Retirees are already the smallest voting block in the country.
Just which group of illegal immigrants is he seeking immigration reform for? This is the question that has been yet to be addressed. What will be the order of citizenship and what terms will be set as the path toward citizenship? At present there are many different “classes” of illegal aliens residing in America. Are the reforms he envisions designed to be only for the illegals who crossed the southern border? If that is the case, he again divides illegals into small and controllable groups as it leaves out the ones that have over stayed their visas, crossed the northern border and the many other ways they arrive here each day. If one group is favored over another it will only promote more discourse. The reforms will be in the form of a new law, they did not obey the first law what makes the politicians believe the next one will be obeyed. Now we have the issue of states giving driving privileges to illegal aliens, the problem is that all the states honor the licenses of the various states. America is a nation of laws, or at least it is supposed to be. The mere fact that there are illegal aliens here is proof that the current laws are not being enforced and instead of punishment for breaking the law they will be rewarded for breaking the law. And yet again the Federal Government will punish the ones who did everything right to becomes citizens, and the ones who are doing the right thing and the permanent resident aliens. How did this ever become a nation that punishes citizens for lawful behavior while rewarding unlawful behavior?
BHO is a capitalist of sorts, he has capitalized on the blunders of previous administrations, the expansion of government and the ineptness of Congress. He will capitalize on the new citizens that reform will surely bring in the form of new Democratic voters. The new voters will join his ever-growing legion of voluntary government slaves. He has also capitalized on the government practice of throwing money at problems instead of addressing the problem. He has really capitalized of the moral and social corruption and the stagnation of America. He is not the first President to go around Congress to ensure his agenda comes to fruition. He has however, taken his usurpations and abuses of power to new levels and Congress and the Courts have given him the tools he needs. He has and will continue to use the “tools” that head up the Cabinet in his administration to spy, threaten and coerce, use events involving different races, continue to promote discourse and use any advantageous crisis in the world and this country to divide the people into small controllable groups. The latest attempt at racial division came in the announcement of programs to help “young men of color”, it also divides the sexes. BHO making the rounds on the talk and comedy shows is a little disturbing and “smacks” of Hugo Chavez and his constant appearances on Venezuelan television. I don’t think he was at all joking about a third term. I also believe that his constant division of America by race and income inequality is promoted by the majority of the news networks, and the both of them are looking to return to the America of the 1960’s. The race riots and war protests were tearing at the very fiber of America, and let’s not forget the domestic terrorism that was occurring during this time, some of the domestic activists and bombers even became life-long friends of BHO.
And don’t think for a minute that the radical left has missed a thing that is occurring in the world. With the advent of 24 hour news channels every upheaval and insurrection around the world is beamed into Americas living rooms constantly. If the Ukraine can erupt in protests and riots that cause a complete change in the government, what is to say it can not happen here, causing even a partial change. He has already proven on several occasions that he doesn’t need Congress and can even go around the courts. BHO is constantly on the road giving speeches about his proposed social programs and reforms he has proposed while reminding the masses that Congress stands in his way. He blames Congress in general and the House of Representatives in particular for the government shut-down and the sequester inconvenience. In case you missed it the protests began with the Occupy movement BHO, the Left and the Media were right there with them.
The definition as given by Webster’s. Reform: verb: 1a: to put or change into an improved form or condition b: to amend or improve by change of form or removal of faults or abuses 2: to put an end to(an evil)by enforcing a better method or course of action. Reform: noun: 1 amendment of what is defective, vicious, corrupt or depraved 2: a removal or correction of an abuse, a wrong or errors.
At this point the only “reform” I want to see is a reform (using the noun) of the politicians Washington D.C. The politicians at all levels of government are described in the definition of reform especially the words “corrupt and depraved”.
Now for a little history and an observation for our “distinguished and esteemed” members of Congress who seem a little confused about America. In order to avoid confusing you I will include only the years of these historic events, if you need the exact dates feel free to call. I almost forgot you are already spying and have already seen the file. It is the one titled America. The least you could do is read it while you are there, you might even learn something, I have put a lifetime of work into it. Enjoy!
The Revolutionary War began in 1775.
The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
The Revolutionary War ended in 1781.
The U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1787. This is the one that you promised to uphold. Read it !!!!
The first President was elected in 1789.
The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. These go with the Constitution that you promised to uphold. Read these also !!!
A little bonus for you. This nation began as 13 colonies fighting for freedom and liberty and existed as such from 1781 through 1787 with no form of centralized Federal Government, not even having our first President until 1789. During those years this country as it was prospered because there was no tyranny, only freedom and liberty.
A new low point for America looms
Is it really necessary for the House of Representatives to send forward legislation forcing the President, under threat of being sued, to enforce laws as written? The Senate will not even bring it to the floor for debate , much less a vote. The President will be spared the use of the veto pen due to the Senate protecting his flanks. I thought the U.S. Constitution specifically spelled out the duties and obligations of each of the three branches of government. Our government was divided into three branches to prevent abuse of powers, a system of checks and balances. Unfortunately the answer is “Yes”. Congress had abdicated its role in government prior to the arrival of the Tea Party. The “ruling” party has stacked the Supreme Court with lifetime appointments, and the lower courts(lately the more radical, the better)to ensure the current point-of-view is never challenged successfully. The Cabinet has been filled with the most corrupt and radical ideologues to ensure the “ruling party” continues down the path of destruction. So much for the separation of powers and a system of checks and balances.
Welcome to the world you have inflicted on the supposedly Free and Liberty loving citizens of America.
Our elected representatives in Washington D.C. and the various States have finally came to the conclusion that there really is a Constitution of The United States and a Bill of Rights. Now it appears that the United States Senate is upset by the fact that the Executive Branch is using government agencies to spy on them, but they were okay with the news and the fact that the government is spying on the common American citizens. One has even threatened to declare “war” on one government agency. Did you really think that you would remain “above the law”? With every “radical ideologue” that you confirm to the posts in the Administration and the Supreme Court you are in actuality giving the Executive Branch more and more power. You may even eventually give the administration supreme power over the land. The Seventeenth Amendment only changed the “how” you got to Washington D.C. it did not change the “why”. Maybe the time has finally come that you should read and understand “our founding documents”, after all you did take an oath, or was that just “lip service”. Perhaps you should actually read the bills you send forward for signature and understand that even you will have to live under the laws as written. What liberties and freedoms have you sacrificed that belong to us common people with the passage of the NDAA, or do you have any idea what they were. The time has come for you to remember that you are all public servants and quit being self-serving.
I find it particularly embarrassing that some members of Congress do not even know how long The United States has been around. That alone demonstrates that some and in my opinion most of Congress has not read our “founding documents” and answers the question about “lip service”.
How much more embarrassment must we endure?
The world sees this once great nation as a joke, therefore we are not taken seriously. As a nation we have been humiliated by this empty suit in the White House. The world is in constant turmoil and upheaval and this abject failure of a leader makes a threat he can not and will not follow through on and goes on vacation. Europe in general and Eastern Europe in particular are at the mercy of a new Russian threat and that is the need for energy. Russia has developed its natural resources and provide much of Eastern Europe much-needed natural gas and oil. Their Eastern European leaders know if they take a hard stand against Russia’s military incursion into The Ukraine in general and The Crimea in particular Putin will turn the valve and slow or stop the flow through the pipeline. The Eastern European countries have even asked the U.S. to increase production to thwart any move by Russia to cut off or even limit oil and natural gas flow to their respective countries. BHO and the State Department will make threats towards Russia. Russia will in turn make demands. If BHO caves in which is his usual route, Russia will win and the Europeans will lose. The past teaches us that empty threats meet by demands will lead to appeasement. Appeasement leads to further demands and more appeasement. Europe and the World has been subjected to that before with disastrous results. The world watches as we do nothing but make threats followed by going on vacation. Placing sanctions on Russia will not work, and has not worked even on Iran. The sanctions on Iran were eased on promises to play nice. Iran has made demands and has been met with appeasement. Iran has no intention to play nice, they have only one goal, they will get a nuclear weapon, it is only a matter of time. When Iran goes nuclear, how will their new demands be met? Even Syria was appeased on promises amid threats, aided by Russian intervention. We as a nation backed down and Russia gained respect in the world. Putin and BHO were staring each other down, BHO blinked and Russia won. Russia is playing a game of dare and will go all the way to the edge, then stand firm with no further incursion or aggression and wait us out. While all of this is going on no eyes watch Asia, the aggressors in that part of the world are watching and waiting. Europe has made themselves dependent on Russia and therefore are subject to its wills and actions. Russia has strong ties and allies in Asia with like-minded forms of government. If China joins Russia the sanctions that may be placed on Russia will have no teeth. China holds much of the American debt and therefore has a strong economic sword to wield against America. Imagine if Russia dumps the dollar for another currency, and China does the same or even worse demands payment in full. What would we sacrifice in order to pay our debts? Britain sacrificed a strong military to pay debts and then Hitler arrived on the scene. The nations of this world have become so financially entangled that any one of them can inflict financial catastrophe on the other and any two can join forces and send another in financial ruin. The exception to this is of course is America as we have become a debtor nation, with continued borrowing to support social programs. This may well be what Putin meant when he said that the sanctions may boomerang back on us. History has led this nation full circle in just a few short years. We have arrived at this point because the Liberal Left believes that a strong agenda of social reforms and programs trumps the need for a strong military, after all War was outlawed in 1928.
In closing I will put this out. While BHO was using the Federal Government to spy on and harass American citizens he may have missed the Big Picture of the World. Maybe he didn’t miss a thing. He may well have found a way to truly end American hegemony. His last act after having destroyed America will probably be another vacation, probably to Africa, most likely Kenya. Upon his arrival he will have the tires and wheels of Air Force One removed and place that last symbol of American greatness on cinder blocks. It will be left there as a monument, depicting a story of how one man with a legion of useful idiots could do to America what no nation could do with a Military.
Take a stand
The insanity at the White House has reached epic proportions, the President seems to think he can devastate our Military and threaten Putin and the Russian Military at the same time. Putin has no fear of BHO or the United States of America. BHO has so weakened this country financially and militarily that no nation on this planet fears us and not a one has any respect, nor does anyone trust this corrupt government, and why should they. BHO has used the NSA to spy on our Allies and every citizen in this country.
BHO is a strange combination of Neville Chamberlain, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt and somewhat like Winston Churchill, but the true oddity lies in his similarities to Viktor Yanukovych and Hugo Chavez.
Chamberlain did with Hitler, as BHO is doing now in the Middle-East in regards to Israel and the Palestinians, he is seeking to gain peace through appeasement. BHO somehow thinks, or rather believes that if Israel would return to its 1967 borders all will be well and peace will suddenly return to the Middle-East. He also believes that if only the Palestinians had a country to call their own then, they would accept that Israel has a right to exist and again all would be well. There could already be a Palestine, but it would have come at the cost of recognizing Israel and its right to exist. Golda Meir said it best “There will be no peace until they love their children as much as they hate us”. The Palestinians will not appease the world in order to gain land, which is just as well, it would become an even greater financial burden on the world than it is now in its current state of existence as the Palestinian Authority. Chamberlain also did as BHO is doing, cutting the Military to pay for social reform and pay-off debts from WW 1. History is indeed a cruel teacher, for no sooner than the debts of WW 1 were satisfied, at the cost of losing military strength, Hitler arrived on the scene and the borrowing to build-up the military began again. Maybe the social reforms should have waited, appeasement was used to buy time. Appeasement did not stop WW 2 from coming, and appeasement will not stop the next war. The most effective prevention of wars and attacks is to have a strong military and a nation of strong resolve and good moral character. When will BHO appease the world by suggesting that America return to its original borders, and what time in history will he pick?
Stalin did to the military as BHO is doing now, the only difference is that Stalin’s Military purge came with the murders of the top military leaders that he did not trust. At least BHO has not ordered the execution of the top Military leaders he does not trust. But why does BHO not trust the top Military commanders? Stalin had a big problem, shortly after and during his purge of the military Hitler came calling. Russia was ill-prepared for war, when Russian troops took to the field without experienced leaders they were slaughtered, no one would speak-out against Stalin or his plans as that would surely invite death. As now with BHO if a senior military commander speaks-out he will be purged from service, we may well find out one day that BHO used the same tactics and lies as Stalin. When an enemy comes calling, will we have enough Military members left to repel the attack? I think not, what few are left will be sacrificed in fighting a delaying action to buy time. After they are used-up, we will be forced to do as Stalin did and rely on scorched earth policy to deny the enemy any useful resources. We will have done at that time what no country on earth was capable of, we will destroy our own country because the uninformed public could so easily be bought with lies and deceptions. Like lemmings the liberal left will follow BHO right over the cliff. I may have just insulted the lemmings by using them and liberal left in the same sentence, but no matter they have already perished.
Hitler gathered a coalition of useful idiots then as BHO has done now and will use them in the same manner. Like Hitler, BHO has no shortage of useful idiots, but I caution you, when they were no longer of any use Hitler purged them from his legions. During his rise to power he gladly accepted assistance from Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals and many other groups and sects, only to destroy them one-by-one as their help was no longer required to go to his next phase on the road to world domination. His most effective weapon was empty and idle threats, but he was feared by the appeasers of the world. The more he was appeased the stronger he became, he was able to conquer much of Europe with-out firing a single shot. With each gain of land he was able to increase his legions with the vanquished and each swore an allegiance to him. We now have legions of useful idiots here in America for BHO to gather-up as he goes along telling them that they are oppressed or have been denied something and promises that all will be well, the government is here to help and will save you. As I have stated before, the government has placed them where they are, but the government can not force them to stay where they were put. The fact that they need the government to save them is that they made a conscious decision to remain and therefore they deserve what they have gotten. They have chosen to, by inaction, to be assembled into a legion of useful idiots. Hitler was and, BHO is a master at playing the blame game, even when, and I submit that most often, it is his fault he comes up with a group or individual to place the blame on and fault anyone that opposes his ill-fated policies. He has even said that his programs and policies fail because of the divided government. Our Constitution set up a Divided Government to keep people like BHO in check. Hitler played the ultimate blame game and nearly destroyed the entire Jewish population, and brought the world to war and was only prevented from achieving world domination by a nation with tremendous resource and resolve, America. When the BHO legions are unleashed on this nation who will come to our rescue? I would venture to say no one will come. This to is okay fine, our forefathers needed no outside help, they did it on their own, all it took was a strong resolve to remove the yoke of tyranny.
Roosevelt played to the notion of inequality and was elected on a notion of “happy days are here again”(quite a catchy tune), similar to how BHO was elected on a notion of “hope and change”. Both assembled a coalition of useful idiots to help them get elected, but neither of them solved the inequality that everyone on the left seems to think is so prevalent in this country. The difference between them is that Roosevelt truly believed in the greatness of America and its people. Roosevelt’s social programs were designed to bring America out of the depression, and return us to a nation of greatness. Some of his programs led us only to temporary financial strength, and led us right back into a deep recession. Still some of his other programs created a dependence on government that continues to this day. He wanted to stay out of the war in Europe, but would provide material support to England in the form of Lend-Lease, and would become the Arsenal of Democracy. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy caused the U.S. to enter the war. BHO on the other hand has created social programs that has caused us to remain in a recession. “Monkeying” with the numbers and definitions to cause the appearance of economic recovery does not make it true, we are still in a recession, the jobless numbers should indicate that. ‘Monkeying” with the unemployment numbers does not mean that jobs are created. While on the subject, just what the hell is “seasonally adjusted”? When I was coming up seasonal work was a way for a working man to “moon light” and get some extra “folding” or “walking around” money. Moving money from one pile to another does not create wealth. Unemployment checks and the minimum wage were never meant to become a lively hood or to support a family. Raising the minimum wage will not lift a person out of poverty, raising the minimum wage will only cause the cost of goods and services to go up also, and therefore any gain in pay will be lost. It will however, generate more tax revenue but that too, will be lost as raising the pay of one will cost another their job. Welfare and food stamps were supposed to be temporary assistance and they too have become a lifestyle. All of these social programs cost money, a lot of money, and will eventually break the bank. Roosevelt at least did not scrap the military to pay for his social agenda. When the enemy comes calling, I suggest that the “social parasites” and “moochers” be sent in first and used as “cannon fodder” to buy time for the Militia to assemble, after all the Military will have already been sacrificed to pay for an ever-expanding social agenda. Their demise would at least in part remove some financial burden. One final note, FDR wanted to provide an “arsenal of democracy”. BHO wants to provide an “arsenal of insurgency”. I will expound on this later.
Yanukovych lived a lavish lifestyle while serving as the President of Ukraine, much the same as BHO has done and will continue to do here in America. BHO has been on what seems a perpetual vacation since being elected. The office of President of the U.S.A. is not supposed to be a never-ending party. Even during the sequester BHO was flying around the country and even the world. Apparently BHO will not be deprived of lavishness even if it causes even more pain and suffering here in America. The sequester was his idea and he knew how much it would affect America if it was ever implemented. He knew that Congress would never get a budget done in time, after all no budget was proposed during the time the Democrats controlled the House, Senate and the White House. There would be no one to blame when the budget devastated our nation. BHO also seems to think the as President he is above the Constitution, changing already passed and signed Legislation, normally called Laws, to suit his need to pander to any supposedly disenfranchised group or special interest group. He is using a delaying tactic to lessen the loses to the Democratic Party in the upcoming mid-term elections, but in the end this monstrosity of a law will be implemented. There are so many things hidden in Obamacare that have been revealed since, “you have to pass it to find out what is in it”, and more is sure to come. But no matter, BHO and Congress are above the law and therefore are above the destruction that their arrogance and vanity will inflict on the general population. It may take years to undo the damages done while BHO has been in office.
Chavez was a Socialist, the same as BHO is. Chavez was on the way to nationalizing the entire country of Venezuela, much the same as BHO envisions for America. At least Chavez had the “intestinal fortitude” to come out and say what he wanted. He wanted to be “President for Life”, aka dictator, and did his best to try to make that happen. His time on earth was cut short, even government medicine could not save his miserable life. BHO do yourself and us a favor, it would be much easier on all concerned if you would kindly remove the “mask” and reveal what it is that you truly want. Stop all this ‘beating around the bush” and get to the point, you have already said you will act without Congress, break out your phone and your pen along with your big pad and just tell us. Those of us who do not trust you, already know what you are about most of us knew early on while some came to that realization over the course of time however, your legions of useful idiots do not and will not believe us, you must tell them.
You need not worry, you will not be chased out of this country as was the fate of Yanukovych, and that is due to the fact that, as much as you will not admit it and constantly deny it, America is truly an exceptional country. We that understand the Constitution live by it and want our way of life preserved, unlike you seeking to destroy America and its way of life. The Founding Fathers of this nation got it right, Putin is not on the wrong side of history, you are. Your legions will continue to follow you and some even worship you and will be loyal as long as you can continue to purchase their loyalty. As with the Founding Fathers, men of good character and good conscience can be pushed only so far. Maybe you recognized this, and that is what caused you to say, We need a civilian force as well-trained and equipped as the military. As for me, I will not wear a yoke, hell man I despise a neck tie as I find it to restrictive.
As for the matter of FDR’s “Arsenal of Democracy” it was in the beginning meant as a tool to resist Hitler and his conquest of Europe. As to your “Arsenal of Insurrection” from the beginning it has been meant to spread instability throughout the world, but only in the parts of the world that you want to be de-stabilized or at least remain in a pitiful state of purgatory. You chose not to assist the Iranians during their short-lived protests. You chose to take it upon yourself to use airpower to unseat the Libyan dictator. You threatened to assist the terrorists trying to over-run Syria. Now you offer financial assistance to The Ukraine, while threatening Russia. Russia may be occupying parts of The Ukraine unlawfully, but must protect its interests and military bases. How would you act, or would you even care if one of our neighbors were to act as The Ukraine has acted. They have de-stabilized their own nation, ousted their duly elected President, and all of this was done without a plan to right the country afterward. But, true to your dreams and previous actions you will sneak some social agenda in while the world watches what Russia does in regard to the Ukrainian Crisis. You may even be able to expand on your legions during this crisis and get through your amnesty program, after all you should never let a good crisis go to waste.
One last closing thought on this post. How can this be the same government that supports insurrections throughout the world be the same Federal Government that spared no cost in militarily crushing the South when they attempted to break away and form their own government?
But, at what cost?
BHO was elected on a slogan of “hope and change” and a promise to radically “transform America”, but at what cost. He was re-elected on a slogan of “forward”, and again at what cost. Much of this post will have a tie-in to previous posts I have written, and there are future posts that will have a tie-in to this post. As I have said before I am a student of history, learn its lessons or they will be re-visited upon you, expanding on that, your future will be a direct result of the choices you make today. Therefore we all must learn from the past, use that knowledge, and make wise and prudent choices that will ensure a future of prosperity. There will also be references to events, speeches, parts of speeches and sayings of people from Americas present that tell of our future, and past that foretold of our future had those before us listened. They will not be referenced or mentioned in this post. Likewise, if in reading this post you happen across some you have not heard before they are probably mine , feel free to use them I seek no credit. This post is not about them, it is about you and me. the only direct reference that will be made is to our current President and will be referenced only as BHO.
Slavery. This especially cruel and vile practice did not come about with the advent of America. Slavery has been used throughout history as a tool of forced labor even dating back to Biblical times, entire nations were taken into slavery as a result of military conquests. Historically there are 2 types of slavery. The first is, Involuntary slavery, the being taken, sold and used as forced labor, or just being captured and used as forced labor. I doubt seriously that a “pasty white” European was running through the jungles or across vast plains or savannahs capturing natives then dragging them back to load them onto ships and sailing to the new world to sell their cargo. The shear cost of this operation would have been staggering and logistically impossible. The most likely scenario is the victors selling the vanquished on the beaches to the pasty white Europeans. This type of slavery relies on a physical difference between the slave and the slave holder making visual identity easy should a slave escape or be lost, aiding in recovery. This type of slavery historically collapses on its own weight and technological advances, even becoming logistically impossible to maintain control as the number of slaves grows. Humans typically want to be free and will eventually reach a point in sufficient numbers and strength to challenge the slave holders and gain freedom either through force or the logistics of maintaining forced labor becoming so over-bearing to a point where a free person becomes more useful than a slave. The second and perhaps the most heinous type is Voluntary slavery, that is selling yourself to be used in any shape, manner or fashion to the person or group you have sold yourself to. At this point I must mention this, do not confuse “Indentured Servitude” with “Voluntary Slavery”, as it is we all, at some time or another in our lives become indentured servants. Indentured servants generally sign a contract to work off or pay-off a financial obligation such as a mortgage, automobile purchase or apply for and use a credit card, these are all for a specified length of time, not a life time. A person who has agreed to become a voluntary slave has entered into a life long obligation and quite possibly for generations. At this point I will make the following statements to illustrate my point. The “Involuntary Slave” has no loyalty to the slave holder and everyday seeks a way out and longs for freedom, liberty and the right to self-determination. The “Indentured Servant” is only loyal until the debt is satisfied and knows exactly when freedom, liberty and self-determination will be restored. The “Voluntary Slave” is loyal to the point of sacrificing freedom, liberty and self-determination, but through this act can demand higher payments for continued loyalty. Now enters “The Law of Unintended Consequences”, at some point in time the payments used to purchase your loyalty will stop because you have taken all there is to take and there is no more. The only recourse you “Slave Holder” has is to beg and borrow money from foreign nations, who are not our friends, to continue purchasing your loyalty. I signed no contract and yet I am now an “Involuntary Indentured Servant” working to pay-off a debt that was incurred just so the government can continue purchasing the loyalty of an ever-growing and expanding pool of “Voluntary Slaves”. When a Freeman is forced into involuntary anything, he is looking for a way out and most often will find one. BHO and Presidents before him have capitalized on your selfishness and lack of self-respect and willingness to sell your self into “voluntary government slavery” and they can and could revel in the fact that slavery is not dead. “Ask not what my country can do for me, but rather Ask what I can do for my country”. I will close this paragraph with this. The “Voluntary Slaves” are nothing but “Government Whores”, but they can all rest easy tonight in the fact that no one can call any of you or your off-spring “cheap government whores”.
When the total cost of 8 years of this corrupt, social program engineering administration is added up it may well be more than can be afforded. With the cancellation of the new model of spacecraft we now have to rely on foreign governments to give our Astronauts a ride to the ISS. With the tensions with Russia over The Ukraine has BHO given total and absolute control over the ISS to Russia? BHO has put the U.S. in the awkward position of having to rely on other nations for assistance. The U.S. has never had to rely on any one for anything. We were at one time a nation that was self-sufficient and self-reliant. The world “apology tour” only demonstrated to the world that we had gone from a mentality of “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” to a mentality of “we fear everything and everyone”. And all of the bowing down before other world leaders only served to illustrate the point that BHO had declared that America was inferior to the rest of the world. As I have said before BHO fears all foreign governments and their people, but has no fear of the American Government or People. BHO has his legions of “voluntary slave government whores” to do his bidding as long as he can keep the loyalty payments coming. I have noticed the absence of many of the BHO activist groups from the scene, they are still out there but are strangely quite, waiting in the wings to be called into action and service once again. The BHO activist groups are ever-expanding, and I venture to say, the quite groups are training and preparing to act at the next prompt or crisis to propel BHO into the next phase of his assault on America.
The destruction of the U.S. military by BHO and his henchmen is only the beginning of this phase of his assault on America. The monies saved by cutting our military are being used to form a new legion of “voluntary slaves” by saying that the minority groups aka “young men of color” need new opportunities to lift themselves out of whatever situation they find themselves in. I would challenge these young men of color to ask BHO what took you so long to see us, and why did you not do something while you were in Congress. The answer to you question would be, I need you now. “A man should be judged by his content not the color of his skin”. I say to these young men, you are where you are because of government interference and you have been kept there by government not by society. The government in general and BHO in particular now needs you to sell yourselves into “voluntary slavery” to make yourselves beholden to government. They will only offer campaign slogans and broken promises, when you are no longer useful you will not get the slightest mention and be placed in storage, with pay of course, until you are needed again. The family unit was destroyed by government, look back in history at how various groups in America regardless of color have been used by government as a tool to further their agenda and promote some ill-guided program that became necessary only because of government meddling. “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”
The SOTU address mentioned “promise zones”(spelled correctly here), of late BHO has mentioned the “manufacturing hubs” when these doomed plans come into light there will be a strong unionization push to protect the workers rights to protect them from the evil corporations. The “evil legions” and the “voluntary slaves” will be mobilized and the will of the few will override common sense. If the unionization attempt fails the NLRB will be called into action. BHO must protect his base.
The institution of slavery whether it is “involuntary” or “voluntary” will at some point collapse under its own weight. In the end the “slave holder” will become the “slave”.
One interesting thing about “voluntary slaves” is that at the ballot box, they can use their vote to enslave not only their city, county and state but the nation as a whole. I will not be an involuntary anything. This is America and people can and do vote with their feet. Selfishness and greed will cause free people to relocate and leave the voluntary slaves to their own devices.
This is a thought on the “establishment politicians” you finally got your “dream come true” with the election and re-election of BHO, you finally feel free and un-encumbered to inflict as much pain on America as possible while using BHO as a shield. You are truly “pathetic”. “If your brains were to catch fire and I was there I would not even pee in your ears”.
America has a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. The second guarantees that you will have the rest. The States are under threat to comply with BHO.
BHO has told President Putin that will be costs. Another empty threat from an empty suit. Putin may not be invited to an “elitist” meeting. I can hear Putin shaking in his boots right now.
I saved this one for last. “Starch is one of the greatest products ever, it can provide rigidity to flimsy fabric, but it can not be used to make up for the lack of a spine”.
We as a nation have been thrown a “life-preserver” in the name of The TEA party, grab ahold of it, do not push it away. Support it . Attend rallies. Vote.
“These are the times that try men’s souls”.
If you see me on the street greet me. You can call me by my title Sergeant Bryan, or you can call me Mr. Bryan, if you think yourself my superior or at least my equal call me Willis, if you are my friend call me Gracin. There is no cost to be my friend. I took an oath to defend this country from all enemies foreign and domestic.
Why not us? Part 2
The answer to the question of why not us, is simple and obvious in the events of our own political history. This writing will explain in detail why we put labels on our selves and will begin in the year 1933.
FDR was president, the “New Deal” era began. The country was in “The Great Depression”and unemployment numbers were staggering. FDR built his “New Deal Coalition” around the poor, organized labor(the unions), minorities, dwellers of cities and the southern whites. Relief for unemployment came in the form of “government jobs”. But FDR had his own “Personal Coalition” which consisted of Newspaper and Oil “Tycoons” the very wealthy and influential and his “friends” from his days on Wall Street. One interesting fact is that even during the depression his friends remained wealthy. No wealthy man has poor friends, FDR was a very wealthy man. I have studied history and have always wondered where the money came from to pay for the newly created jobs as the country and even the world was in a financial crisis. That same year the 18th Amendment(Abolishing Alcohol) to the U.S. Constitution was repealed. The “Law of unintended consequences” comes into play here, the prohibition an alcohol removed tax revenue and fostered in organized crime. Repealing the 18th amendment brought in much-needed tax revenue. This however, had no effect on organized crime and still relies on laws and prohibitions to keep a grip on society. No matter how bad the economy had gotten then and even now, the people have always needed relief and escape, and will spend money to escape. Don’t get me wrong in my criticism of FDR, he did do a lot good while serving as President, but at the same time he set the agenda for the “Liberal Left Democratic Party”. He fostered in the notion that Government was the “cure-all” for economic problems and thus created the “Dependent on Government” mentality that continues to this day. One unique fact about FDR is that he broke with a Presidential tradition of stepping aside after two terms as President, running again and again, becoming the only President to be elected 4 times. This situation was rectified by The 22nd Amendment to The U.S. Constitution, but not until 1951. No President from the time of the death of FDR until 1951 ran for President more than twice, returning the tradition of Twice and Leaving. But without that amendment there would not have been any limits or length of time a president could remain in time. FDR also was alleged to be the first to use the term The United Nations. Could it be possible that FDR had an office higher than President Of The United States of America in mind? The excuse of “you should not change horses in the middle of the stream” is ridiculous, this nation was so “galvanized” by the attack of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese that no outcome other than the total defeat of Japan would be accepted no matter who sat in the White House.
We have had Presidents die while in office, but with the exception of FDR there has never been a President decide to stay in office until he decided to leave office. Had he lived he would have remained in office even after the conclusion of WW 2, and with the creation of his “dream”(the U.N.) there is no telling where he would have gone or led this nation to.
We now have yet another “Liberal Left Democrat” sitting in the White House, his arrival to power was ushered in, in much the same way of FDR. BHO assembled much the same coalition as FDR to get himself elected and re-elected, and he has his own “personal coalition”, but like Joseph Stalin he has assembled an “inner circle” to insulate and protect him. If it happened by chance, or was planned he has used the same tactics and strategies as those used by Hitler and Stalin. He uses various government agencies to harass, silence and eliminate all who oppose his rule. He has also used his association with the press and other media outlets to expose Military leaders he does not trust and then dispose of them. He is in essence purging the Military of some of the top leaders. He is using the budget to cut and scrap our Military, while at the same time proposing increasing spending on social programs. He spares no cost to keep his “hope and change coalition” in tact and well-funded, while at the same de-funding all who may oppose him while in pursuit of his final quest, whatever that may be. BHO is more than a “Left Liberal Democrat”, he is much more dangerous than that to America, he is a “Left Liberal Socialist Democrat”. He has many allies in Congress and the Media, and uses them most effectively to berate and belittle his opposition. A “Great Lie” has been visited upon this Great Country and the damages inflicted upon us will take years to undo. Until damages are undone this country will be the “Laughing Stock” of the world. One dangerous aspect of this man is the fact that he sits his ass on a fence and will go whichever direction the wind blows. With each failure he simply orders a new social program to draw attention form his ineptness to get some newly discovered underprivileged group assistance or a fool-hardy program supposed to lift them out of what ever situation they may be in. The people he supposes to recognize and help have always been there, he waits and picks a time of his choosing when they become useful idiots, and yet they cheer him on. The most dangerous aspect of this “user” is the fact that he fears every government on this planet except his own. He does not fear the American Government or the American People, and why should he, the Press will not speak out against him for fear of being labeled with an “ism” or “ist”, the majority of Congress has the same fears. The 22nd amendment, at least limits the time this most dangerous man can continue to erode our Country and our Constitution. But, I remind you that amendments can be repealed.
We have a choice on every Election Day, we as a nation can vote the politicians who supported and continue to support BHO out of office, and save what is left of our Constitution.
The why not us, should be evident by now, that we as a Country will live with and suffer under our mistakes and will do so even if the same mistake is made twice. We will do the same as we always have, pick up the pieces and choose wiser the next time, or not, we make and live by our choices. The world is at this moment wondering why, if we are so unhappy why do we continue on the same path patiently waiting for an election to come and not force one. The answer is simple, we have a Constitution they we respect and live by, even if our elected leaders do not. That being said, he had better be glad that the True Patriots believe in our Constitution. By the Grace of God we will some return to our principles and once again have a government that truly knows the meaning of “Is, By and For the People”
Why not us? Part 1
Indeed, Why not us?
The world has erupted in wars and internal strife, the nations of Venezuela, The Ukraine, Syria and Libya will be used in the following examples. These examples will show the difference between a planned choice and direction and having no plan and will to go in any direction. Examples of how outside influences attempt to use the indecision and lack of planning of the people, nations and governments to further the agenda of the ones who wield their supposed supremacy and the disastrous effects of all concerned.
First to be discussed is Libya. The destruction of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 led to the first air attack on Libya from the U.S. as a retaliatory action. A game of tit-for-tat began with Libya. Whenever an act of terrorism was committed by Libya or they would claim responsibility for the act and another air strike would be delivered upon them. Occasionally the U.S. would give aid or intelligence to anyone who was engaged in open conflict with The Libyan Dictator during his quest for expansion. Acts of terrorism during this time were not cause to engage in all out war. In 2012 The U.S. launched an air campaign against Libya in support of an insurrection against the Libyan Dictator, this act was ordered by our President without justification and was totally against our Constitution. Being a Constitutional professor surely he must have heard of the war powers of the President. America would use only air power and not risk a single soldier and no boots would be put on the ground. However, we would provide the “rebels” with uniforms and small arms. We as a nation had no “beef” with Libya or its Dictator. We as a nation with a corrupt leader were dragged into that one by European countries that were weak militarily and corrupt morally and had somehow “bitten off more than they could chew”. Please do not use the argument that the accused, convicted and imprisoned the so-called “mastermind” of the Flight 103 bombing was released from prison, that again was a European decision. If we had any “beef” with anyone it should have been directed towards those that released him on humanitarian grounds. Some of the members of the U.S. Congress were in total support of the “Rebels” in Libya and some even stated “I know who the good one’s are, trust me I know”. The problem was that the “rebels” only wanted the Dictator gone, but had no plan of action or where they would go after his ouster. Our government “assumed” that they would be pro-west if we helped and would become a useful ally. The word “assume” is composed of 3 words(ass, u and me). Our Regime was so anxious to prove they had taken the “right course of action” and wanted normalization of relations with the “New and Legitimate Government” of Libya. The “new and legitimate government” was recognized even before the “old and ill-legitimate government” was out of power. An Embassy was established, an Ambassador was appointed and staffed, even putting an outpost in Benghazi. Somehow, we relied on the new government to provide most of the security for the Ambassador and the Embassy and we know how that turned out. Then there was the under reported and in some cases not reported event where sophisticated U.S. military equipment was stolen from a “secure” storage area. I wonder if the same people who provided security for that area also provided security for our Embassy. Libya today is still a cesspool with pieces of “feces” still floating around with no direction and no plan, and our government still thinks Libya was worth the cost. It was not worth the cost. Dear Leader and his “tools” totally screwed that one up, accepted not even a “smidgen” responsibility and have moved on to screw up the rest of the world, and have managed to make an ASS of U and ME and The United States of America in the process.
Now to Syria. This is yet another Middle-East country embroiled in internal strife with only one vision, the removal of a Dictator. That beautiful country has become a training ground for any opposition group wanting to “hone” their fighting skills. The Syrian Army has been killing them by the “truckload” and they have only gained experience in dying. The news that chemical weapons were used against the civilian population should have come as no surprise to anyone. I personally do not believe that the Government had unleashed chemicals on anyone. The Government was and is winning and therefore had no reason to use such a tactic that would surely bring world condemnation and possible military actions from most world powers. I believe the most likely possibility is that the “rebels” were and still are losing, and they used chemical weapons that they had seized in earlier successes. After all, to succeed at terrorism you must terrorize. Dear Leader had “drawn a line in the sand”, but not just any old line it was a RED LINE, saying that if chemical weapons were used America would act. Not long after that, the news erupted with statements, proclamations and accusations that the government had indeed deployed chemical weapons. The RED Line was Crossed. The administration wanted to perform “surgical air strikes” and lessen the Syrian Army’s war fighting capability, and just as in the case of Libya, we would not put boots on the ground. Russia came to Syria’s defense, intervened and the “redness” of the line became blurry, and not quite so RED. Dear Leader had painted himself into a corner, he had to do something, fear set in, he could not act alone, he asked Congress for a resolution, at the same time he was asking the other world powers to help, seeming almost to beg. The European Countries said they would not participate, not even the ones that drug us into Libya. The sensible ones in Congress wanted time and verification before acting. Help with this problem came from an unlikely source, Russia. The crisis was averted. Syria would give-up their chemical weapons, promise not to use them and Russia and a team of international inspectors would oversee their destruction. The Syrian military was by default, given permission to shoot and kill as many “rebels” as they wanted as long as the only used “common and acceptable” means and methods. Of the “common means and methods” the one with the most success is to surround an enemy in a town or fort and the lay siege to it. This is perhaps the most effective and non-discriminatory and certainly brutal tactics ever developed for war fighting, but it does drive home the fact that you are certainly living on borrowed time. A place under siege has only what it has and can expect no more, you can only grow weaker, when what you have is exhausted you have two options, continue until you are totally destroyed or surrender. If you had instead taken the time to prepare, build up alliances or become self-sufficient and strong enough to engage in a prolonged fight, you would not find yourself surrounded and having to go from fighting for a good and just cause, and that is my allowing that you ever had one, to now just fighting for your survival. Your total lack of any understanding of the task you were own is proven by the fact that you invited every one to join you and you did not care why they wanted to join the fight. Your use of towns and cities for your strong holds goes to prove that you truly do not care about the people you are trying to liberate from tyranny, you have only placed the innocent in harm’s way. Perhaps you counted on the world continuing the same course of action they had been on and ASSUMED that you would be delivered from you ineptness. As with Libya the administration has promised to give aid to the ‘rebels” in the form of uniforms and small arms. We may never learn what was given to the “rebels”, and let’s not forget the sophisticated military equipment that had been stolen in earlier successes.
Now, to point out some similarities of the two countries previously discussed. They are by no means soldiers and therefore can not wear a uniform. They have no discipline, nor self-control and engage only in indiscriminate killing and terrorism. They have no allegiance, represent no form of government, nor any country and have no regard for life or liberty, without these you can never be free. But, they know not what they want to be free form to start with. Do not look to the skies for your salvation, there has never been any war won by air power alone. PPPP on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. But dot not feel bad, America too, lost much in the 2 excursions that Dear Leader embarked on. Actually we probably lost more than the two of you combined. We lost the respect and more importantly the trust of the oppressed of the world and of our Allies around the world, and even that is not totally your fault. We as America somehow elected a leader who felt it necessary to embark on a world apology tour. The half-hearted excursion into Libya and empty threats in Syria have done more to undermine perceived American commitment in the Middle-East than any other single act committed by our current Regime and will undoubtedly lead only to more instability and mistrust.
Now to Venezuela. Your struggles to rid yourselves of your tyrannical form of government is barely making the news here in America. You can expect no help, Dear Leader here is cut from the same cloth as your current and past leaders. God Bless and keep up the good fight. If you a revolting against your government to move towards freedom and liberty do it yourself, do not ask any outside help and do not accept any offers of help. For if you do it by yourself it will mean so much more and you will owe no one. If you are only wanting a new leader and the same type of government, that is your choice. You may even live long enough to see America arrive at the same point where you sit now. I only hope you have a plan as to what your future holds, if you are rebelling just to rebel and you succeed you will become the same cesspool as Syria in the Middle-East and Libya in North Africa.
Now to The Ukraine. You confuse me, you sit on a fence and will go whichever way the wind blows. If you can not decide, split your country in half and go your separate ways. This has been done many times in history, most often with terrible consequences, it was even tried here in America. You are not unique in history, you gained independence with the demise of the Soviet Union. You want to align with the E.U. when they do well. You want to align with Russia when all is well there. Are you not the land of the Cossacks. You are a country of great resources you can use that to your advantage or let that destroy you. Do not seek money from other countries it has the appearance of saying “my friendship is for sale”. Sell off the ill-gotten gains of the former leader you chose, farm your fertile soil and become an agricultural superpower. Any government who buys your friendship will eventually enslave you for their uses and exploit your country and resources for their gain. If government can give, they can also take. Choose wisely your next leader. Do as America did, first write a Constitution, second fill the offices and ensure that the rights of the people are included in your constitution. Most importantly hold the people elected to those offices accountable.
What are they thinking?
Do the President and his tools have any idea of the dangers this nation and world face? The Military has been shrinking every year since 2010 and now the tools in Washington, D.C. want to shrink the Army to its smallest size since before WW 2. The United States and the rest of the civilized world is at War with Radical Islam and every other “nut bag” that has an axe to grind because of some perceived injustice Capitalism or civilization has inflicted on them. This is no time to shrink our fighting forces. The President has drawn another “line in the sand” but not with some third world nation, but this time with Russia. Although it does not matter who or what causes his to draw his line, he will take no action, but someday someone will grow tired of his idle threats and he will have to cash that “check” he keeps writing. Soon he can shift the blame for military failures from himself and simply say that the Military was not up to the challenge, and again he will have a “scapegoat” and shrug off responsibility. Secretary Hagel wants to concentrate efforts to using technology to defeat any possible adversary. Planning to have a Military that can wage war, but can not remain on station to occupy and rehabilitate an enemy, and return the land to its people is just insane. We can not have a Military that can only strike and then leave, if we do we will have become a “third-rate” nation only interested in causing further instability. If we strike another nation out of retaliation we must ensure that threat is resolved and will not rise up again. A force used in combat must be of sufficient strength and size to take the war to the enemy and then execute the war with “extreme prejudice”. As for the A-10 Thunderbolt(aka Warthog)it is the best and only attack aircraft that can execute it’s mission and provide close-air support for ground troops and provide excellent protection for its pilot. I personally got a warm and fuzzy feeling when ever they were operating in our sector because I knew that some miserable SOB was about to meet his end. It was extremely effective and devastating to Iraqi forces during Desert Shield/Desert Storm and since, and it will be missed by every Soldier and Marine when the enemy gains the upper-hand and close-air-support is needed. These are the only plans released thus far, but I am sure there are many more and possibly more sinister lurking in the cuts to the Military budget. After all cutting our war fighting and giving that money to social programs is much more appealing to this Regime.
Our forces will soon become involved in a new “Cold War” with Russia over the turmoil and internal strife in The Ukraine. That will come about by the latest “line in the sand” that “Dear Leader” has drawn without any thought of consequence. Our Military in Korea is still bogged down in a long and protracted stand-off with North Korea who is still aided by China. The remainder of Our Military is still bogged down in the Middle-East and that is the Fault of this and the previous Administrations, and this was caused by a failure to use the Military for it’s intended purpose.
Here is a lesson in history for Sec. Hagel. We had the latest technology that was available when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. True enough it was only Radar, but it was available, we did not deploy it properly or even use it effectively. The Imperial Japanese Navy came in with the bad weather, not to mention that they had spies in and around Pearl Harbor. Naval Intelligence used simple logic and monitored radio transmissions from Japan and foretold of the attack, but no one listened. The rest as they say is History. They did not see the need of “monitoring” every person in Hawaii, the spies could do only minimal damage they needed The Navy to bring total devastation to Pearl Harbor. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the Selective Service went into “overdrive” and the draft filled the ranks of the Military. Even now 18-year-old males register for the Selective Service, from what I’ve seen most of them are 4F’s. What is missing now and will become evident if we are ever attacked again and if your cuts and proposals come about is that you don’t have the “Great Depression” to provide physically fit Draftees fresh off the farm. Technology has eliminated the need for vast amounts of young men working on the Family Farm.
Technological advantages came become a hindrance if the right set of circumstances arise and can be capitalized on by an enemy that relies on “Brute Force” and not technology. Most of our enemies live in caves and plot their next attack not in a building, but under a tree or next to a rock
