Emasculating America

I think I must be in some bizzare wonderland where RuPaul carries more gravitas than Rudy Guiliani. Am I crazy or is Barack Obama turning America into a country of contrition for misdeeds that we believe we have foisted upon the world. What is going on here?
When in the history of the world has a leader allowed himself to be castigated by the enemy and seemingly lean over as if to say "Thank you sir may I have another.".
We are America darn it all. We have very little to apologize for. Seriously? We are apologizing to Hugo Chavez? Accepting an anti-american tract as a gift? Isn't that like Billy Graham accepting Anton LeVey's Satanic Bible at an anarchist convention? Obama should understand the value of propoganda, just look at his Che chic and Andy Warhol hip campaign posters.
Does he truly believe that by allowing a sham tribunal in Iran to stand as some sort of permutated rule of law decision against an American citizen he will gain some sort of gee whiz likeability from Imawhackjob?
Weakness never communicated reconcilliation to people bent on violence. Weakness is precieved as weakness, nothing more. Apologies and groveling don't raise the stature of our nation in the eyes of the world, they make us look weak.
A willingness to self-flagulate doesn't make us stronger it makes us look stupid. The enemy stands by, mouth agape, watching us tremble with secularized fervor over moral reletivism that refuses to call terrorists, terrorists. Does Al-Jezeera put Obama's bow in the context that the liberal left does? That it's NO BIG DEAL? Absolutely not.
Fidel Castro couldn't have been more direct in his repudiation of Obama's ovetures toward a new beginning in relations with Cuba.....you can walk toward our way of thinking or things can stay the way they were, but we're not budging. Does Obama think that by sending Cuba's leaders Hallmark cards and blowing socialistic kisses across the water Castro will change his mind? Not likely. In his rush to open up tourism to Cuba and demolish the embargo he's forgotten to answer one critical question.
Why have so many Cubans left the island nation? Hasn't he had a DUH moment about that one. It's because CUBA IS A BAD PLACE TO BE IN SPITE OF WHAT MICHAEL MOORE SAYS.
Seriously, with the prism of history to look through Obama shouldn't be apologizing, it is the world who should show some gratitude.
Would the world be a better place if Russia was the lone superpower? How much aid would they have sent after the Tsunami? Would the Middle East be a safer place if Saddam Hussein had ever, ever gotten a nuclear weapon? What if the Korean pennisula had never been defended? Or if Taiwan had never gotten aid from us to defend itself. What if we had never stepped foot on Omaha Beach?
Give me a break Obama. Stop your sniveling and realize that you are making us look like America the Weak instead of the home of the Brave.
America stands for something good and something strong and it can't be found in comments that make us look weak and wavering.
Making ourselves feel better through public apologies won't make any of our enemies want to sing kumbya.

Hope

For President Obama it is painfully clear to anyone who is not entranced by his oratorical skills that it is becoming evident his idea of hope is dangerous to our nation and our allies. In only 100 odd days it has become stunningly obvious that both our enemies and our allies have decided to play Barack Obama for a patsy and he's too arrogant or oblivious to notice.
While we wax philosophic about wanting to strengthen our ties and play nice with nations like Iran, they continue to pursue nuclear weapons. Obama hopes that by declaring our intent to stop trying to stop them, they will stop of their own accord. This is diplomacy??? It's insanity.
Israel, who has been our staunchest and most necessary ally in that region, is being left out to dry. We are literally forcing them to act as the tip of a spear that we are unwilling to throw. We have assured our closest middle eastern ally that we will unequivocally and unwaveringly not commit to standing by their side should they act.
North Korea has just restarted one of their reactors after having gained the supreme confidence a schoolyard bully gets when a black eye to the playground weakling goes unresponded to. Obama is that weakling. The ineptitude of his non-response and his acquiescing to an anti-american world body only highlighted the stupendous idiocy of believing countries that hate us will rally around us. After launch a missle that the world and America demanded they not launch, we did.....nothing. Not that we should risk a global conflict over it but clearly Kim Jung Il has been emboldend by Emo Obama's lack of resolve.
Even our allies have made him look like a stooge. While talking about the solid support given to him by Germany and France he pretends that he accomplished something. A review of what he accomplished makes one think that Neville Chamberlin was positively robust in his manliness. Yes, Germany and France supported our sending 18,000 more of our children into harm's way in Afghanistan but balked when asked to send some of their own.
Yes, Germany and France said that they supported the idea of America contributing billions in additional aid to the world bank and IMF but almost laughed out loud when Obama asked them to do the same.
Obama's vision of hope is like trying to grasp a wisp of air with a toothpick. Bad people use diplomacy as a tool to delay action so that they can continue to advance their agendas. Japan did it, Germany did it, heck even the Vietnamese did it during Tet....promising a holiday ceasefire....... Diplomacy only works when both sides feel like they not only have nothing to gain but something to lose
North Korea and Iran have nothing to lose. Their countries are a shambles.
Allies only stand by your side when the ends you are both pursuing align. Obama should be a closer ally to Germany and France. They are glaring examples of socialist ideology run amok and they have said enough.
But Obama is going to hope his way to a different outcome here.
What a mess he has created. Our enemies have been emboldened and our allies have become indifferent.
Where is George Bush when we need him???

Moving Right

Obama's recent apology tour only highlights the bizzare self-flagulating idea in our country that somehow we have wronged Europe in some way. This sort of delusion is fed by the fact that some people believe France and Germany constitute "Europe" as a whole. For example while condemning George Bush for not buildng a "coalition" the world made every excuse in the book for the fact that 40 nations had pledged support. From a "few" troops to only having "techincal" support it was always in the best interests of the left to point out that France and Germany weren't supporting the Iraq invasion. It was irrelevant that nations who had lived under the tyranny and oppression of communisim and yearned for closer ties with America contributed to the cause. Also left out was the fact that we now have proof, evidenced by communique that have been recovered that France was acting as a defacto advisor to Saddam before the invasion.
None of this matters currently however, to an important change that the media fails to report on and that is the rightward drift of politican's in those formerly hostile countries.
Of course I don't mean they are listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. What I do mean is that in France and Germany center right government's have taken control and that is a total repudiation of virtually all socialist agendas in those countries.
Does anyone seriously think Sarkozy has a streak of Obama in him? Or Merkl is an Al Gore in heels?

The point is around the world Right Wing style governments are coming in to power like never before. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Poland etc.... What has driven these countries to a rightward tilt is the realization that their social welfare programs are destroying their countries.
While we turn toward the left we do so at the expense of examining the causes of right wing ascendancy around the world. We do this because we are America and we think that we can get things right that have failed miserably around the world.

The left still speaks of the glories of socialized medicine without realizing that those same countries are being forced to ration health care, meaning the older you are the less likely you are to get treatments of many kinds. It means that the most advanced medicines may not be available to you because the government can't afford them.
So while the rest of the world is grappling with 30 years of miserable economic policies that have devastated their economies, we act like we can do better.
Well, we can't.
America is better because of the prinicipals of LIMITED government. The left doesn't believe in that at all and yet the world is full of failed leftist ideologies.
Are people beating a path to North Korea to flee the democratic South? Are people running away from Tiawan in droves to the safety of Communist China?? Did the Berlin Wall exist to keep people out of the glorious East??? Are people fleeing Florida in rickety boats to escape to the land of Cuba???
Greater government control has ALWAYS lead to tyranny. The same people who worry about the government peeking at their LIBRARY records are only too happy to allow that same govrnment access to their private healthcare records. How's that for a contradiction.
Obama will move us further left.
Hopefully in 4 years we will have learned our lessons. If it takes us 30......it may be too late.
