A Historical Difference

Barack Obama, Muslim brown noser par excellence, is prepping to prosecute CIA interrogators for the crime of doing the job of keeping this country safe. As I contemplate this surreal state of affairs I'm struck at how this country has degenerated in just a generation.

On September 11, 2001 more Americans died at the hands of foreign attackers than died at Pearl Harbor. Less than 5 years after Pearl Harbor this country had ground Pearl's attackers and their allies into dust and sent them back to the pit of Hell from whence they came. To accomplish that feat the United States of America put 16,000,000 men in uniform, imprisoned over 100,000 citizens and legal residents in internment camps, instituted press censorship, laid waste to huge stretches of terra firma, and nuked two cities off the face of the earth. And we did this unencumbered by the bizarre and self-hating notion that destroying our enemies violated our values. But now things have changed.

Nearly 8 years after September 11, far from defeating our enemies with pride, determination, and no apologies, we are on the verge of prosecuting the people who kept us safe from another hideous attack. I can't believe the world we're now living in. I bet the Greatest Generation is profoundly sorry it sacrificed so much just so the country could end up like this.

This is just the liberal world view of kumbaya, we are the world, appeasement begets peace, and Mommy will make them stop.

Where the liberal view dominates -- in places like New Orleans, Detroit, DC, and Califorlornia -- massive debt, spikes in crime, corruption, higher than average unemployment, and a true lack of hope, even with the election of the so-called Messiah.

And a lib's answer? "We're not spending enough money!" Tax the economy into another recession, print more money into double-digit inflation (a train coming down the track at all of us, thanks to Barry's tax cheats running Treasury), and this will provide hope we can bereave in.
