Thomas Sowell writes, “Their is no reason why someone as arrogant, foolishly clever and ultimately dangerous as Barack Obama should become president -- especially not at a time when the threat of international terrorists with nuclear weapons looms over 300 million Americans.” This point alone demands serious discussion.
We seem to be so full of the American political process (myself included) that we forget Nick Berg, Daniel Pearl and Eugene Armstrong. The Twin towers are gone folks, they really are! Thousands of human beings are dead and dying daily, around the globe. We need to remember………
With people like Jeremiah Wright using our election process to voice or rather, echo the rhetoric of Al Qaeda or Hugo Chavez while several countries plot to develop nuclear weapons is appalling. We have countries threatening to destroy other countries. The entire goal of assembling nuclear weapons is to serve this end.
We live in a world were a biological attack, suicide bombing or a nuclear detonation, within a metropolitan area could happen again or for the first time at any moment. We are living at a time when in America, we may have our first black or first woman ascend to the office of the President while our sons and daughters are being blown up daily or killing those who are doing the bombing.
We need to recognize that our dollar is in trouble and should the world decide to reject the American currency for the Euro the economic might of our country will collapse. China is not hurting because of the US consumer but suppose they were? Suppose the dollar did collapse. I am not an economist but, our tax and spend on borrowed money can’t possibly pay the mortgage. (Contrary to our illustrious media, most people are not loosing their ability to keep their homes) The price of corn is skyrocketing and the global pinch is on. If our country falls into a full blown recession we could literally watch chaos around the globe. The fact remains that the economy is global. Oil is ratcheting up the fear of the insecure.
The United States of America has made amazing contributions around the world that have benefited much of the world. (Jeremiah Wright, sit down and shut up!) We are not the ones out promoting random acts of violence and murder. Race relations should not be the subject or debate of our election folks. Remember those falling to their deaths on September 11th, 2001 Those beautiful people who did nothing were blown into bits, not obscurity! It would serve all of us well to realize why we cannot forget. We need to continue to be amazing. The choice of candidates is hard to swallow, I agree but the American People must be vigilant and collective in our understanding of why New York has a different skyline.
Al Qaeda has not been successful with duplicating this type of destruction of late but, they want it and they want it bad! North Korea is feeding its communist leadership and military with the profit generated from selling nuclear technology to Syria and Iran. Vladimir Putin of Russia is black mailing his neighbors with his energy policies while at the same time playing big brother to Iran, specifically to antagonize America. Anybody really concerned about the cozy relationship of Iran and Chavez, I am. We cannot afford to underestimate the new players on the field.
Having said all of this we simply must remember who is planning our death. The possibility of getting this election wrong or acting like spoiled children during the process is being carefully watched and studied by those who want us dead!
The far left think that if we stop being American, those that want to destroy Israel and cripple the United States will simply go back to their respective corners of the world. The far right is being maligned for lifting up God, country, the traditional values and strength of our nation and the middle of America wants to stay in the middle, lukewarm to just about everything.
The radical Muslim’s GOAL, OBJECTIVE, ENTIRE PURPOSE is to claim a converted America for Allah. In their eyes that is what the conflict is all about, period. They could care less about the left, the right or the middle of the American culture they just want it conquered!
Our citizens are getting their heads cut off around the world. Our sons and daughters really are getting blown to bits. Millions of Muslims want to destroy Hollywood. Even Barbie is on the agenda. Our gay and lesbian community would be swinging from a noose if Sharia law is instituted in America. (I better leave that one alone!)
We need to remember what is at stake. If one simply stands back and looks at our current election process it really is almost embarrassing. Our leadership is looking more like high school clicks trying to accomplish graduation. Incidentally, does anyone know what happened to Congress? Didn’t they think that tax cuts were foolish? “Flip Flop, Flop Flip, oh what a relief it is! (Remember?)
Thomas Sowell uses the story of Paul Warner’s (An Old Newness) successful baseball career hits while playing the game. He is also pointing out that our election and the significance of who we vote in to lead our nation could very well be catastrophic in the long run. The reality facing our globe is not being played on the field of dreams.
Nevertheless and true to form our media is now hyping never ending polling data. "Hillary can beat John McInsane." Last week it was Barack's polling numbers are such that John McInsane should just sit back and watch the Democrat party implode. Hillary can't win anyway unless Barack has a misstep. My son, who is serving our country says to me, “Dad, our media is a world wide joke; we try to avoid watching anything that comes out of the news.” Imagine if you will what our enemy thinks as they continue to demand our blood!
We need to remember why people like my son are fighting this war! There are millions of highly sophisticated PEOPLE who want the United States of America, gone! I would hate to think that Americans watching a baseball game at Wrigley field will only be made to understand the world we live in when the city surrounding the field is incinerated. This is a possibility folks. Other people on our planet are trying to pull this off as sure as I am sitting here writing about them.
