The State of our DisUnion

J. D. Pendry

 

Started this early in the week.  I’m on recuperating time.  Have you ever been upside-down in a pick-up truck?  No, I don’t mean that time.  It was a new experience for me too.  Gives you a whole new perspective.  Iced over bridges are unforgiving.  Anyway, the F-150 is in truck heaven.  I got away with some fractured ribs, dings and bruises.  Never sneeze if you have fractured ribs.  Or laugh, cough, bend, reach, breathe deeply, yawn, yell at stupid politicians…  Other than that, there is no pain or inconvenience associated with the injury.  

Fortunately, there were no other vehicles nearby when the truck rolled, but plenty were within view of the wreck.  From a steady flow of morning commuter traffic, not a single, citizen stopped to help or check.  Not one.  I fumbled through the wreckage for nearly ten minutes trying to find the pieces of my cell phone, while traffic blew past, which I finally did and called 911.  Once the Police and other emergency vehicles arrived, many looking for some blood and gore did slow down to rubberneck.  Makes you feel warm and fuzzy about our fellow citizens, doesn’t it?  But, it shouldn’t surprise you.

 

The United States looks like a truck wreck.  There’s lots of noise, banging and screeching.  The emergency lights are flashing.  Members of Congress that could be helping are either rubbernecking as they pass problems by or they’re busy blaming the driver while punching holes in his gas tank.  The public?  They’re just checking in for blood and gore.  Just to keep harmony with the ignorance emanating from the Halls of Congress, I assure you if I had known then what I know now, I would not have driven to work Wednesday morning past.

 

Where is the declaration proclaiming emphatically that Congress stands behind our Troops and their mission and will take all measures in their power to ensure their victory?  The political cowards that produced the Biden-Hagel Doctrine of Defeat will never make such a proclamation.  They live by public opinion polls, a political method that will produce defeat in this or any war.  An overwhelming number of the people you and I sent to Congress voted to send American Service Men and Women to war.  It now appears to have been a poll driven vote of political expediency and not one of true commitment to our Country or its Service Men and Women.  Our troops, serving in war, have no reason to believe that they can count on 535 members of their team to protect their backs in dangerous times.  That is sad.  Very sad.  This week, they’ll trot out Hanoi Jane herself.  When people like her sense defeat for the U.S., they cannot help themselves.  Did you ever wonder how it feels inside to have placed yourself into a situation where you must work to ensure American defeat in order to prove that you are right?

 

Examine for a minute the public opinion in America that drives politicians.  How it is formed is no different from how public opinion is formed by people that have their opinions issued to them each day by mad mullahs.  Americans in general do not take time to study issues and instead take the gullible approach of believing that news organizations provide complete, unbiased truth about world events and that their politicians are at least informed.

 

If all one hears from major news venues is negativity and hopelessness constantly reinforced by Biden-Hagel like politicians then public opinion forms accordingly.  It’s like a do-loop in a computer program that never ends or the instructions you find on the shampoo bottle.  Wash – rinse – repeat.  The Biden-Hagel Doctrine of Defeat constantly tells Americans we’ve lost.  Pelosi and her astute military advisor Murtha constantly tell Americans we’ve lost.  Every Democrat hoping to be President (and some who’ve conceded they’ll never be President – sorry Johnny) constantly tell Americans we’ve lost.  The news reports to Americans every day on the hopelessness of the situation – accented of course with blood and gore.  Amazingly enough the polls show that many Americans have accepted what they’ve been hammered with repeatedly for years.  Biden-Hagel cites public opinion polls….  Wash – rinse – repeat.

 

Here’s another thing that’s put a burr under my rib support.  Probably a little off topic, but maybe not.  I want to puke each time I hear some screeching idiot ask why the President doesn’t send his kids off to war.  The President doesn’t send anyone’s kids off to war.  He sends Men and Women who volunteer to serve in our country’s Armed Forces – our Spartans – who are less than one-half of one percent of the population of our country.  Screeching idiots along with more than 99.5 percent of our population choose not to serve – most of them in any capacity.  It’s great to live in a country where service is a choice.  It’s a shame to live in a country where many of the benefactors of the service of others don’t appreciate and often deride it.
 

American politics when faced with a warring, fanatical enemy, defines stupidity.  If you were an informed leader of a terrorist organization or any of the problem factions in Iraq, would you initiate an attack inside the United States?  Our enemies, just as enemies past, know that winning a war with the United States is not about combat assaults, but about wearing down the will of the American people to continue to support the fight.  Because they’re winning the war of wills, they wouldn’t dare attack inside the country.  Why risk re-energizing waning American will with an attack?

 

Al-Sadr is using a strategy in Iraq that also compliments the Biden-Hagel Doctrine of Defeat.  He knows that if the militias stand down and Baghdad appears pacified, the noise to disengage coming from our Biden-Hagels and their allied Hanoi Janes will increase a hundred-fold.  America will prematurely disengage and the next time around many more of America’s Spartans will die trying to correct a failure of politics.

 

Our enemies know that our weak link in fighting a war is our politics, media, and the socialist elites who ally with them in waging war against the American will to sustain a fight.

 

Their advantage, and they know how to use it, is the State of our DisUnion.

    It appears history is repeating itself before our very eyes.

    All these years later, I’m still trying to figure out where did the America I left in 1969 go while I was gone until 1974.

    Hearing the talk of non-support, while I was first in Viet Nam and then in Germany, defintely affected morale in a negative manner.

    It would appear also that the words Victory or Win have been removed from the Democrat dictionary, unless they apply solely to elections.

    Americans are Americans. They don’t like anyone interferring in their personal life and the World’s problems are supposed to be taken care of by the idiots they elect to take care of “problems” and “manage” the town/city, county, state, country. So, when the War on Terror came along, they supported and cheered on the President for as long as they thought he was “fighting” and making progress. When GW, aka “Dubaya”, back after the last presidential election (2004), started sitting on his hands and acting like Ol’ LBJ (a’la Vietnam) they started moaning and groaning. During the past two-plus years, ‘Dubaya’ hasn’t done a thing except act like the last Texas Turkey we had in the White House, and hope is fading faster and faster that he’ll see the light and do anything any different than he has to date. His ‘latest’ plus up of troops only smells like “Escallation” to most folks. No wonder ‘Hanoi Jane’ –et al– are crawling out of the woodwork and dusting off their picket signs. Bottom line: Americans expect Bush to “W I N” (like his Daddy did) and get the he!! out before this time next year. Will he? I really doubt the boy can do it, and I ain’t bettin’ on Petraeus either; I got a feeling he’s more of another MacClellan than a Grant.
