The Intentional Disarming of America
Cancallation of the F-22 project, cancellation of the ABM Anti-Ballistic Missile project, a declared policy of ending development of future nuclear technology, a declared policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament, publicly announcing to the world that we are not at war with Islam even though Islam has declared war upon western civilization. All of these are actions already taken by the Obama administration. There are many more actions that have given comfort to our enemies, apologizing to the world for the actions America has taken in the past.
Ignoring treaties and promises made to allies, supporting dictatorial regimes over democratic nations, bowing to Arab royalty and snubbing English prime ministers. Refusing to act to rescue American citizens held hostage when we literally had the kidnappers in our sights. The lack of an ability to act assertively and in defense of America.
This super-soft attitude and its corresponding actions have served our known, self-declared enemies well and have made the USA more vulnerable than we were on December 6, 1941, or September 10, 2001. This attitude has been adopted for the purpose of, supposedly, eliminating America as a threat to our enemies in the hope that that will eliminate the animosities they hold towards us. To put Americans in that type of danger on the whim of an inexperienced, America hating, self-proclaimed radical, is a crime against the USA, the Constitution, the oath of office of the President, and, most terribly, against the people of America.
Obama is purposely following an agenda of making America as or more vulnerable than those who have threatened us hoping that they will reconsider their hostility because of our vulnerability. He has also made criminal the actions of those tasked with preventing attacks on America. He has conferred rights of American citizens upon captured enemy fighters giving them their day in US civilian courts instead of being tried by military tribunals. He has released classified photos of US undercover operatives to the defense attorneys of these prisoners, who have then showed the photos to every prisoner so that they can identify who it was that interrogated them. This action is illegal and serves to blow the cover of our agents in the field and endanger their lives.
Currently, our nation spends less than 4% of our gross domestic production on defense. That includes research, active duty personnel, equipment procurement including ships and aircraft, and fuel for that equipment. All must be had with less than 4%, one twenty-fifth of our nation’s yearly wealth. Isn’t defense the number one reason for this government’s existence? Shouldn’t we be calculating actual cost for the defense against known threats and allocating that instead of limiting it to 4%? Obama has declared that our defense spending is too high to pay. He intends to lower our defense budget to 3% or less in the next ten years.
It is time we, the People, shout as loudly against these dangerous and destructive policies as we have against health care reform, cap and trade, and the superfluous spending bill.
If we do not, no amount of tax or spending cuts, no economic or political victory will be enjoyed when the nation is defeated by its enemies.
No Russian spy, no enemy interloper, no act of treason by the worst traitor in history has served to render Americans as vulnerable to enemy attack as the policies of the current president. Yet there are no demands for any investigations except against Bush and Cheney, there are no charges of treason or high crimes, except against our CIA, and there are no brave men standing up for the rights of Americans, except those in uniform.
America is no longer the hope of the democracies of the world, these nations have no hope any longer other than that no enemy takes advantage of them. How likely is that scanario?
Historians can relate the consequences of a nation choosing to cower in fear of their enemies as opposed to those who have invested in national defense and are contantly vigilant, acting from a position of strength.
Our nation’s existence and its security, unrivaled by any nation in history, has come at a very dear, dear price. Thousands of young Americans have dedicated their lives and deaths to this nation and her people, knowing that if left to the enemies and their will, America would soon cease to be the nation she is, and her people would live under tyranny. To disregard that investment of young lives on a notion is criminal and should not be allowed when avenues are available to prevent it.
God, please help the USA.
