LIARS, LIARS, LIARS ALL III
A WAR OF NECESSITY
Why all the dithering about what to do in Afghanistan? Can anyone in their right mind say that we can bring peace to those fighting clans, or that there is even a remote chance that we can tame those people and bring them on our side? Americans are being killed there daily, and so are the soldiers form the other nations there, and the more Afghans are being murdered at the hands of their own brethren, and for what , what point are we trying to prove still.
We have unholy alliances with the devil. I have said this before and I will say it again, Taliban's message is the same as the message of the Saudi regime, a fundamentalist Islam, then why we try to get rid of Taliban and befriend the Saudi'. If the same message if Islamic fundamentalism is coming from Saudi Arabia and being practiced in Saudi Arabia then what is wrong with it if the Taliban are preaching it also, the punishments meted out by the Taliban are the same as the punishments applied in Saudi Arabia then why the hypocrisy?
The madrassa's that we so hate and fear are supported by the Saudi money too.
Then why is this war necessary? In 2001, I told Roger Yates of the Pentagon that Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan, in 2003, I said the Colin Powell lied to the whole world in his UN briefing, again in I wrote in the Dothan Eagle that if go in to Iraq they will attack us, they will come after us and try to kill us, I also said that there was no love lost between Osama and Saddam, why have I been right and no on e in the US government and the media has even been close. Why do we need a war?
Like I wrote about general Powell, he could not tell the truth because he would have lost his chances of making any money from speeches or directorships on boards of directors of various defense contractor companies. And of course we all know that a war is always good for the economy. I have also said that most of the money we say is being spent on war is actually being spent right here in this country and creating jobs and stimulating spending, and not somewhere else, (this fact was later commented upon by the AP also).
The war supports the military job market, it is not just the army or the marines that are fighting over there, look at the military schools where the enrollment is higher, the training, the equipment purchases, the aircraft, the humvees, the helicopters, the maintenance of these, the bullets, the guns the rockets, the bombs, the contract personnel, the security, the interrogators, and on and on, all need a war to justify there jobs and to make living.
Then there the officers and the enlisted who purchase equiment for the war, provide training, and the advisers that work for the military and then go to work for the suppliers, and contractor, this is and incestuous relation ship and thrives due to the on going war.
And then you have the promotions, the awards and the ribbons, and privileges, that are only justified due to the war. When your senator or the congressman, especially in a district with military jobs comes to give a pep talk, he only tells you how much money he is bringing to the home district never mentioning that the war is a blessing in disguise for the expansion of spending,
We know, that we are not going to bring peace to the middle east, or democracy and stabilization to Afghanistan, but it all sounds so good, when you say we are doing it to defend "the homeland".
So Obama better think before he turns down the request for additional troops in Afghanistan, it is not how many more troops we send in to the harms way, it is how many jobs we will loose if he does not.

LIARS, LIARS, LIARS ALL II
As it always says at the bottom of my blog page, "LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE" .
In the year 2009, and living in a "free" country. our lives are not in our control. I don't mean your personal choices, which in most cases themselves leave a lot to be desired, I mean our daily lives which are controlled by the congress, the local governments and the markets. I have written before as to how the inflation is lied about, and how the inflation is kept down by increasing unemployment. How low interest rates caused people to have to borrow hundred percent of the cost of the house they wanted to purchase, how the banks promised everyone free debit cards, and thus made the cost of goods go up by charging the stores up to four or five percent in fees that had to be covered by raising the prices.
While most Americans and Europeans thought of themselves smart and savvy, they were the first to be bamboozled by the banking scams and took the hardest hits. You may say well the others lost money too, you would be right, but we were the first ones in line.
Even today as their world is going to hell in a hand basket a wast majority of Americans and their European brothers and sisters are still watching soft porn of their choice (the so called sitcoms and reality TV) on various TV channels and on their mobile devices. But what does all that have to do with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I will explain, keep in touch!

LIARS, LIARS, LIARS ALL
On top of this blog is my quote, "It is not the way I think you should live, not the way that I want you to live, but it is the way that I know you will live". This is a promise, and it goes with my promise to always tell you the truth.
It is my desire to know the truth that keeps me even to take a religion at face value, and to doubt "God's word". To search for logic and reason, if there is any to be found, in the words of politicians, economists and the other avatars. No wonder i feel let down and distrusting.
Back in August of 2008, I wrote that the high price of gasoline was about to become the last nail in the coffin of the US economy, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/08/who-is-paying-neal-boortz.html on the Dothan Eagle website, I was chastised by no less than forty individuals who called me every name in the book, I was right.
I warned about the economic collapse and why it was inevitable since 2001, again and again, I reorganized my own finances and got my self out of debt, totally. It was not the Obama fiscal policies that scared me, it was the Republicans and the Globalists, (the so called for the working people Democrats included), that told us this was the new paradigm and we must get used to it.
Today as the millions lose their jobs we are promised a recovery, and it will not come, never, and as the Republicans point fingers at Obama, neither party is blameless, nor is the American public. And if you think that the American people will soon rise up and demand answers, you better read what will happen and how America is ready and willing to face up to the ones who may challenge the authorities or the industrialists,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Copper_Mine_Strike_of_1983
And now let me make another prediction, the stock market will tank again and real soon, losing 20 to 30 percent within a short period of time amd we will be right back where we left off last September.

WHO IS COUNTING?

WHO IS COUNTING?
So the deficit will be 1.4 trillion dollars for the fiscal year, but who is counting. Soon there will be a recovery and we will all go back to partying "like it is nineteen ninety- nine" . OH YEAH!
There is no recovery coming, no I am not just being pessimistic, that is the new reality. Those who use the recovery from the great depression and the second world war are the same ones who told you yesterday, ( a few years ago) that the paradigm had changed, the some ones who told you that there will be no more recessions.
If anything I was right about the Bush stimulus, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/02/stimulating-who.html
that one did not work either, and for the reasons I had stated, and no matter the amount of money we spend now or in the future the economy will not recover as it did in the previous recessions sine most of the money we spend keeps flying overseas, the benefit of globalization that all forgot to mention.
While our factories are shutting down, even chickens are being processed in Mexico, cars are imported, and so is the steel, all that we are making is the weapons and wars and if the wars stop we will be for real up the creek.
I know, wars kill people, and they are no good, but how many times a day are we reminded that the great depression did not end until we joined the second world war, and now General McChrystal wants to increase the troop levels in Afghanistan, with the added benefits to the economy and the jobs saved in the defense industry. How can Obama say no?

AN ASSAULT ON AMERICAN MINDS II
10/15/2009
AN ASSAULT ON AMERICAN MINDS II
Some TV shows should have warning, "viewing this show may be hazardous to your intelligence", but oh, that would be ninety percent of the fare on television today.
No doubt I am against dumbing down of America, and the current offerings on the television could not be more dangerous to the brain power of society. Actually it should be considered a bodily assault, since it obviously replaces the function of a real lobotomy thru a medium we call entertainment.
Be it "Rob and Big", "The Hills", "The Osbornes" or the "Real Housewives of -----" the low brow shows and low class participants could make you believe that there are no decent people left in the United States.
There is an old joke that some asked one as to if they will sleep with some one for a million dollars, when the person said yes, they were told that the fact that they were a prostitute was established. Apparently there is no lack of persons that are willing to make an ass of themselves on national TV for a lot less, and the economy falters further the price of personal dignity will be lowered too.
Or as it was rpresented in the last weeks Bettle Baily comic strip

AN ASSAULT ON AMERICAN MINDS
10/14/2009
AN ASSAULT ON AMERICAN MINDS
I do not believe that all media are totally mindless, but there is evidence that from time to time the media refuses to use common sense, or subverts the meaning of what is the "freedom of speech".
May be the ignorance exhibited therein is not intentional, but the resulting damage is the same. If one throws a hand grenade, whether they intended harm or not is a moot point. From time to time I have argued the point that freedom of speech was never intended to promote the banal and the base and since not all minds are equally capable of discerning between the tasteful and the tasteless, between entertainment and the brain damage, there should be some limits placed on what is said to and exposed to ALL populations. I had used the example of certain college student being killed after copying a stunt from the MTV show "Jackass".
In my book of poetry, I have poem "Beauty Queen" in which it says
"forget all
your basic instincts
what makes you human
and what makes you distinct"
Apparently we are being convinced that that becoming less than human, that giving up what we learned over the millennia about the human behavior and what makes for a viable society is no longer valid, that we can function at sub human level and still exist.
What got me going this time was the celebration of that old dope head McKenzie Phillips who was trying to sell books about her sorry life and got to be on every talk show only because she was discussing her relationship with her father who was not there to refute the assertion being made. "We love dirty laundry!".
Is it so important that we all know about about her disgusting behavior? What redeeming value did it have? What was the message being promoted?
Now what kid in America, and may be the world over( I am assuming a kid from a middle class family with access to the internet and television) the age of eight is not familiar with the Simpsons. They love the Simpsons, have Simpson dolls and Simpson t-shirts, coffee mugs, and what not. Now to bring that icon sown to size the "Playboy" is doing a nude, spread, centerfold of the iconic mom, that is as base as you can get, is nothing sacred anymore, can we not leave our kids be kids?
What is the message here? What is the purpose? Put this all in context, when we are talking about the Cougars, and the spread of Marge Simpson or as I have discussed previously the guys all suffer from their own Oedipus complex.

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART V
In case you have been thinking of me as paranoid then think again. Do we need a private police force now, in this country! Or was I right in my paranoia that the things were wrong here, or as Shakespeare would say "Something is rotten in the state of the United States". Was I wrong when I worried, as far back as in the April of 2008 that the United States was on the verge of fascism and may be a civil war. Was I wrong that we were turning the United States in to a police state?
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2009/cbarchive_20091009.html
Where are the patriots, where are the people standing up for the constitution, we have become a society of eunuchs.
Where the defenders of the constitution? Sadly the defenders of the constitution have been hoodwinked, and co opted, we spent last eight years since 9/11, perverting and redefining the constitution in a way that those who were sworn to defend it have become the enemy and the opposition of the word.

ABOUT THE 2012 PROPHECY
10/05/2009
ABOUT THE 2012 PROPHECY
A while back I wrote, " good news is that the world will end on 20 December 2012, the bad news is that it may not.
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2006/07/ignorance.html
All kidding aside, are you even aware of the 2012 prophecy, or do you believe a biblical doomsday? Do you believe in the rapture or the second coming. If you do then look around you ,not a chance that you will be saved or the many that you know on a daily basis. And more importantly what you are doing to prepare for the Big Day.
I don't think we will get hit by an asteroid or a wave of radiation of the sun, it is more likely that the world changing event will be a human event, like an uprising, revolution or something of the sort, may be a take over by the one world government.
The world today is changing so fast, it is really hard to imagine what the place will look like in three years from now, and what could one do to prepare for it . But still are you even thinking about the eventuality.
To protect his family from the floods, the six hundred year old Noah built an ark to save them. What are you doing to protect your family from the corrupt society.
One may find it ironic, at least since the start of two thousand one I have maintained a continuous campaign of writing letters to the local paper, writing to the White House, to my senator, blogging and talking on the talk shows, about the up coming economic disaster about over population, about pollution and people selling themselves into slavery, some of my friends thought I was a liberal, but today even the likes of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh saying the things I have been saying for years.

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART FOUR
"History is not just a window to the past, it also the gateway to the future"
Revolutions are a messy business, luckily during the war of independence the US did not suffer as badly because the rulers in the Great Britain were so far away. In India also the British found it easier to let go then to bring huge forces over to subdue the locals.
A revolution in a divided nation is of course a different beast. Either side is bent on destroying the other, and the voices of the middle and the peace makers are drowned out at first and then eliminated. Intellectuals are silenced so are the clergy and those who seek a compromise and a middle ground. Or as in the words of George W. Bush, " either you are with us or you are against us", those seeking a middle ground need not apply.
After the civil war in Rwanda some DJs were tried for crimes against humanity, inciting racial hatred and dehumanizing the opposition, today our political commentators are doing the same.

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART THREE
09/30/2009
FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART THREE
America has been in the mood for a change, I have addressed this for a while also,
April 2008, I warned of the possibility of social upheaval,
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/04/buzz-windrip-for-president.html
I said the elections of 2008 were not about the race of the winner, but someone who can lead us through the tough times and keep the country together,
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/03/race-about-race.html
In January of 2008, every candidate was talking about change and I wrote what change are they talking about, it was never made clear by anyone in the race,

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART THREE
America has been in the mood for a change, I have addressed this for a while also,
April 2008, I warned of the possibility of social upheaval,
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/04/buzz-windrip-for-president.html
I said the elections of 2008 were not about the race of the winner, but someone who can lead us through the tough times and keep the country together,
http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2008/03/race-about-race.html
In January of 2008, every candidate was talking about change and I wrote what change are they talking about, it was never made clear by anyone in the race,

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART TWO CONT'D
09/28/2009
FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART TWO
The irony of the verse, "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose", is personally real to me. At the end of my active military career in 1985, my parents wanted me to return to Saudi Arabia and work there so I could be close to them. My father even sent me a resident visa, as thing are done in Saudi Arabia, issued to me at the "request" of Prince Naif. I visited the Saudi Arabian embassy in Bonn (West Germany) wearing my US Army uniform, as I was just down the road for a meeting. The person at the office looked at me and then at his files obviously finding my visa then looked up at me and said my visa was not there. To make a long story short in the end I was allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia on a tourist visa to see my parents. I never again got a resident permit there. Was it my uniform or was the Saudi government trying to keep me out for my political views, I would never know. It did work out for the best since I came back to the United States and was hired by the Department of the Army, I got married, went to college to get my Master's degree and start a business, all of it.
I held secret clearance in the military, i was on courier orders in Germany (West) as I transported parts of war plans in between military installations. I served my (adopted) country with honor and pride, I was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal, by the military and a Superior Service Medal by the Department of the Army for my civilian work. Dan fired me because I to many people were complaining about my work!!!!!!!
We can do better, no not for me to get a job back, but the America I came to was a beacon for me and for millons of others like myself, (even as we now know that we have been party to many a shady deal). If we want Bashir of Sudan to be tried for human rights violations, then what about our other friends that do the same all day every day, in Pakistan, in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. If we want sanctions against Iran and want them to open their nuclear facilities then why not Israel, ( no I am not and anti Semite). If we are against torture the why not all torture, what is this extra -ordinary rendition business. I am for equality of justice. That does not make me an enemy of the state, it makes me a real American.

FREEDOM' S JUST ANOTHER WORD, CONT'D
09/23/2009
FREEDOM' S JUST ANOTHER WORD, CONT'D
Whether we acknowledge them, know of them or remember them or not , like gravity and time there are constants in life, modern love not being one of them. And just as modern love is a meaning less term, freedom to day is also hollow and meaning less, or at least a misunderstood concept.
There are two kinds of populations in this world, 85 percent who are ignorant of the reality, and the 15 percent who chose to ignore it.
A little over a year ago, I was driving around in my van, in the back window i had a hand made poster stating, " Freedom is wasted on the ignorant and the illiterate," I had made up the quote myself. At the credit union a gentleman followed me in, "I have served for many years in the military to insure freedom for all", he said, obviously not realizing that by saying this he was treading on my freedom of speech also.
This very well illustrates the conundrum we have today in the United States. I have for long shown how the liberal policies actually hurt the poor, and how the psychologists and others in helping professions actually create a dependent class more maladjusted then it would be other wise .
Let me remind you though, I am not in to conspiracy theory, but as I have said for years, but that where we are today is the natural consequence of what we have been doing for many years.
Today many on the right are upset with Obama's policies, they are upset with his DOMESTIC spying, his globalist designs, his military adventures, his banking bail out and bail outs of the auto industry, to name just a few. Where were these folks for the past many years while the country was going down the tubes, borrowing money and shipping jobs overseas.
In March 2008, George Bush said that 70 percent of the American own their own homes, on my comments on WRJM I said that either Mr Bush is a liar or a stupid jackass, WRJM did not take my calls after that. My freedom of speech was terminated.
Today, the left and the right do not want a discussion on merits of any subject, they want to argue, and worse they want the opposition to shut up, and on the talk radio it is no longer the opposition it is the "enemies'.
The military is no longer a place for being open minded, most are so far to the right that it is down right scary that if they had the option.......... Can we trust the military to remain neutral if the chips were down? The organization that was supposed to defend the constitution and thus by extension the human rights defends the human rights abuses, defends illegal wiretaps and spying, illegal detentions and extra judicial punishments. But who cares. a people brought up on the right wing propaganda, and a diet of situation comedies and reality shows is incapable of deep thought.

FREEDOM' S JUST ANOTHER WORD, FOR REAL!
09/18/2009
FREEDOM' S JUST ANOTHER WORD, FOR REAL!
I have previously said, the I use the quotes and examples from the scriptures because most people are familiar with these, not to imply any religious bent or preference on my part.
So it is that Ibrahim asked his father, Noah asked his son to mend their ways, but the men were stubborn. Then it was Lot who told his wife not to look back towards the doomed village bit his wife also did not listen, so what makes me think that anyone really cares about what I have been saying for the past ten, fifteen, twenty or more years.
Last couple of weeks I did not write, not because I am not thinking, or that I do not have an opinion on the matters, but I posted links here to different articles and opinions that only confirm what I have been saying for months and for years.
The world has never had peace, the condition today is abnormal to say the least, some people think what we need is a good war to fix the economy, but today war is cheap , really, we can just send up some missiles, some bombs launched from thousands of miles away and the whole damn affair is over,like I told you before, ( damn I am brave to be talking this crap) that most of what they call the cost of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, is actually monies spent on and by the US in this country and on our own people and their welfare, it does not get out of our hands and supports our own economy.
I mentioned, years ago, that both the Republican and the Democratic policies have the same results and both hurt the United States, if there were any doubt then you can see that both parties are for free trade, for globalization, for free immigration, for the bankers, for the Wall Street, for larger police forces and for suppressing of human rights and the constitution, they are both against privacy and democracy, regardless of their moral (immoral) annunciations.

"2.64": Then you turned back after that; so were it not for the grace of Allah and His mercy on you, you would certainly have been among the losers.
"2.65": And certainly you have known those among you who exceeded the limits of the Sabbath, so We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated.
"2.66": So We made them an example to those who witnessed it and those who came after it, and an admonition to those who guard (against evil).
In the Koran, however, it does not say as (apes), it says "be Apes" but what I have in mind here is something totally different.
Why you think that the man has evolved and the monkeys have not. Most likely because the humans, 1. learned to think and 2/ started to learn from experience, while the monkeys have not.
In 2003, I had mentioned that we do not want everyone to have a house, a car, air conditioning, etc. I was of course talking about the poor in faraway lands, and of average people, to day we are using increased poverty and unemployment to reduce consumption, decrease spending keep the interest rates low in this country.Whatever the government says of the "recovery" is dependent on the government spending which in turn means even larger deficits that will stop any genuine recovery from occurring. And the people become more and more dependent on the government dole. Is it by design?
Look at what has happened to us, as the monkeys spend their days in playing around, waking up, eating, playing, eating lice plucked from each other, and slinging you know what at each other, we have been conditioned to think and accept the same as a preferred form of of our own existence. Look at how our own lives are portrayed in the greatest educational medium ever, the television. As art imitates life imitates art, we see ourselves as a bunch of little hedonistic heathens, clueless, and we have come to accept that as even our own life.
Look at what our reality is, it s "the Hills", "the Survivor", from the girls in trailers reading "COSMO", we have gone to a nation of food stamp recipients watching the food channel. Have we been cursed to be the monkeys?
Look at what is happening in the Islamic world, the starving nation of Iran is making babies and making nukes, Bengladesh, not even on anyone's radar, Pakistan at the brink of disintegration, Afghanistan and Iraq being propped up by American money and American Forces, yet the Muslims still think that the God is on their side and that they are on the brink of "Victory, they don't just not understand the real world, they don't even understand Islam. Yet they are proud.
Even as they suffer at the hands of their own and suffer humiliation at the hands of the "outsiders" they are convinced of their own greatness and their righteousness, bombing each other in the mosques, on purpose, and more particularly on their holy day of Friday. It is all about feeling good, whether screwing each other or killing each other, is it not?
"
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee."

SO YOU THINK ME CRAZY
David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal .. He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.
He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College. He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.
Dr. David Kaiser
History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.
