The American people support more human aid than any other entity on the planet. We show up for every catastrophe worldwide, and we provide protection for many smaller countries at the cost of many American lives and limbs. Why is it that we have developed our assets and technology to such a level that we are ready and willing to do so much for the world? Certainly not by allowing anybody to push us around at will.
There is a force in the world that doesn't want to push us around, but down. Better said, the radical Islam distortion of the Koran is the taproot of the majority of the problems worldwide, and it denounces all personal freedom.
We as a people need to open our eyes to the fact that the Middle East wants the United States eliminated. There is no hope for Israel, or any other country that becomes a target in the process of our elimination. Why can't the liberalssee that the problem is not Iran or Iraq, but most of the Middle East?
Why do the liberalsrefuse to see that most of our troubles come out of (or are funded by) Saudi Arabia? The comical part is that Saudi Arabia gets its money from us, so we are in essence the ones who fund Islamic fascism, and you can bet that they enjoy this fact.
It amazes me how people forget that Iran started the current conflict with us back in 1979. Any responding action besides President Carter's "attempt" has been denied by the liberal masses, along with the U.N.
Further, I believe that they delayed our entry into Iraq long enough for Saddam to get rid of his arsenal of weapons. Could President Bush's "mishandling" of the war be a form of retaliation for his liberal adversaries making a mockery of him? I think that, had he and his advisors been trusted in the beginning, the Middle East would now have a healthy respect for the American people, thus giving us the necessary power to shut down the nuclear intentions of Iran.
I think we should take a good look at what the liberals have achieved for us. They made a joke of the White House, long before President Bush came along. They have caused us to lose faith and pride in our country. They have taken God out of our children's learning process. They have handed otherwise insignificant countries (who receive billions in aid from us) the power to push us around. They have made us appear weak and apathetic in the eyes of those who dislike and/or fear our freedom.
North Korea sat back and watched as the might of America was systematically diminished during our entry into Iraq, then boldly dared us to stop their nuclear advances. I wonder how long we will be paying China for their assistance in stopping that crisis. Perhaps what we are experiencing now is just a new form of attack on America.
In the end, money is the power what rules the world. Each time we are forced to make trade deals with competing countries in order to eliminate threats to human existence, our dollar loses more power.Consequently, only the people cando something to fight back. Here are some examples of how, and we could start immediately:
1. Refuse to buy gas at stations that are not American owned and supplied. If I don't know, I ask who the owner is. Besides, even when the price for American fuel is higher, it only amounts to about a dollar per tank full.
2. Don't buy junk from China. Every dollar we send over there only increases our trade deficit. Again, what do we really absolutely have to havethat's made there, and if we need it so badly, why not pay a little bit more for a quality, American-made product? It's worth the trouble, and anyone who has ever used a tool made in China knows what I mean.
3. Refuse to buy anything made in any of the countries who do not support freedom as it is known in America. We could do much more in the elimination of slavery worldwide, by simply providing no outlet for slave labor products.
4. Don't close, but slam the borders closed. Follow that with revoking the visas of all Islamic people, and ship them anywhere but on our soil. If they like it here so much, they can conform to our way of life and re-apply.
5. Our representatives work for us, even if they have made it seem the other way around. If we don't vote for liberals, they will no longer have the power to prevent our leaders from doing what's best for the American people, and the free world as a whole.
6. Live like you're proud to be an American! If it means doing without, or waiting for something you want, so what?
7. Put an American flag (American made) in your yard, on your vehicle, anywhere. If you don't like America, you have the freedom to leave.
8. Teach children to not take freedom for granted, and show them that having freedom doesn't give them a "blank check" to do whatever feels good at the moment.
9. If you don't follow Islamic radicalism, re-establish contact with whomever you plan to turn to when they start destroying us all. This country was founded, and developed on principles derived from faith, and the freedom to worship in any way we choose. I don't think eliminating faith was the idea then, nor would it be a good one now.
10. Vote in the presidential election, but learn the facts about the candidates first. There is one obvious candidate who is a true American in every way.
