If you research the definition of ‘feckless’ you will find “lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible….. Worthless, having no sense of responsibility; indifferent; lazy” Now I must ask, “Are those not appropriate in describing this presidency?”  I heard someone say recently regarding Mr. Obama, “I wouldn’t call him lazy but if he were a cow he wouldn’t swish his tail to rid himself of a fly.”   The synonyms listed include:  useless, worthless, incompetent, inept, good-for-nothing, ne’er-do-well, slothful, indolent, and shiftless.  WOW!  Perfect descriptors of this administration although I will readily acknowledge that he is far from incompetent when it comes to advancing his ‘fundamentally transform’ America ideology.  He is competent and dangerous on that front and that is bad for America.

           Edward Klein wrote in his book, “Blood Feud” that Hillary in a boozed rant said she had spent four draining years in his administration.  She went on to say, “The thing with Obama is that he can’t be bothered, and there is no hand on the tiller half the time.  (Profanities omitted).”  Hillary further declared that Obama has turned into a joke and ranted about his hatred for his enemies, in the various scandals, to screw him like it did Nixon. She then stated that Mr. Obama was, “incompetent and feckless.”   She declared that Obama’s word is not worth bleep.  Hillary I agree but what makes you think you’d do better or be better?  Another story for another time I guess.

Jimmy Carter’s fundamental errors in policy and judgment hardly compare to the ‘fecklessness’ of Barack Obama, in my opinion.  Carter and Obama are both ideologically disillusioned and advanced their policies based on a flawed foundation.  If you begin with a wrong premise you will arrive at a wrong conclusion and that describes both their administrations.  In 1977 Jimmy Carter spoke at Notre Dame University and dismissed what he identified as ‘our inordinate fear of communism’.  He believed that if America demonstrated restraint and made concessions the Soviets would reciprocate.  WRONG!  Thus we came to the Iran hostage crisis in November 1979 because of his ill-guided views and foreign policy.

      I am convinced that Mr. Obama’s indecisiveness, indifference, and outright abandonment of our friends along with his apparent deep desire to placate the Muslim world has opened the door and invited aggression throughout the world. That is evidenced in Russia’s operations in the Ukraine, the Islamic terrorist activity including the beheadings of Americans, and his trading Taliban leaders for a soldier who was apparently a deserter and a Muslim sympathizer.  The world burns and Obama vacations, fund raises, and plays golf.  Hillary was right he can’t be bothered.

           Before his first election, Harvard University professor Joseph Nye said, “It is difficult to think of any single act that would do more to restore America’s soft power than the election of Obama to the presidency.”   Amazing and now after six years it is difficult to think of a single act that has done more to damage America’s standing and power in the world than the presidency of Barack Obama.  The hubris of Barack Obama and his fantasy world view is placing America in greater and graver danger each passing day.  ‘Feckless’ is probably too mild a word but the only one I will use regarding this president.

I know that many feel that voting is a waste of time for they are convinced that the elections are all rigged and the outcome predetermined so why bother.  I am not willing to take that fatalistic view and suggest that we fully vet each candidate, volunteer to be poll watchers, work in the precincts, and VOTE.  Failure to exercise our constitutional right at the polls is to concede defeat and that I CANNOT and WILL NOT!  America needs her patriots more today than possibly any time in our history.  Again I sound the clarion call – REMEMBER NOVEMBER!  We must utilize all tools available to us to fight this fight for freedom and the restoration of a Constitutional Republic.

            God bless you and God bless America!

       I mean that as a serious question but let me elucidate.  I could approach this from numerous categories but the one in particular that I am referring to is the elimination of our southern border allowing the free flow of illegals into our country.  Those illegals are not just coming from Mexico, Central and South America but the far reaches of the globe including the Middle East.  This, in my view, is an incredibly dangerous situation to place America and Americans in but one that this president and the left seem hell-bent on continuing until the ILLEGALS are declared LEGAL and our border no longer exists.

 If those coming across the border manage to smuggle a dirty bomb or some other weapon of mass destruction into our country it will then be relatively easy for them to carry out a terrorist act that would be catastrophic in size and scope.  The surface objective of the erasure of our border seems to be to permanently solidify the Democrat Party with voters but the deeper objective may well be the destruction of America and most assuredly the ‘fundamental transformation’ of her as promised by Barack H. Obama.  It seems to be a fishing expedition for VOTES and I would ask at what cost?  If there is a terrorist attack and I should probably say when there is a terrorist attack it is highly likely that American lives will be lost.  Therefore in a real sense this is an endeavor to trade American lives for Democrat votes and I find that not just reprehensible, immoral, and evil but criminal.

           If we were to calculate the cost of these ILLEGALS to the American taxpayer it would be in the TRILLIONS and over the long haul it will be multiplied exponentially. The strain on our economy, school systems, transportation, healthcare industry and more will be astronomical forcing a radical transformation of virtually all sectors of society to accommodate them.  Sadly, we are not talking about them being assimilated into our society but our society being forced to adapt to them allowing those current ILLEGALS to live without having learn our language, laws, and adapt.  No, the politically correct push for ‘tolerance’ demands that we change not them.  What other country does that?  Certainly not the ones they are coming from.

ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL and you cannot successfully spin it or define it to be anything different.  When the federal government facilitates the breaking of our existing laws it engenders a society in which the law is meaningless and that is an incredibly dangerous condition.  The intense push for ‘gun control’ and governmental control in so many other areas of our society further places American lives in danger.  Common sense should tell us that with the evidence existing in this nation of violent gangs, especially in major cities, if we cannot protect ourselves we will likely become become victims.

     This president, who laments the existence of a restrictive constitution and reviles anyone who disagrees with him, has placed America in a very dangerous situation.  Sadly, millions who are receiving their monthly allotment from Big Brother are content to trade freedom, liberty, and national security for a check.  What happens when the total collapse comes and with the path we are currently on, it is coming?  We could literally see cannibalism in America’s cities and most assuredly will see wide sweeping rioting, looting, and chaos.  Anarchy is coming to America if we do not turn the tide and regain control.  The establishment elitist of both parties has demonstrated that they will not support a return to Constitutional government so we must defeat the establishment and that is a monumental task that cannot be done in one election cycle and will cost some of us everything.  How much is freedom, liberty, and the Republic worth to you and how much are we willing to invest for future generations?

The task is before us, what shall we do?  What will we do?  Will we wait until it is too late to take action?  We must answer those questions individually and collectively.   America needs her patriots today as much as she needed them in 1776.

            God bless you and God bless America!

          In August the late Abu Mosa declared, “I say to America that Islamic Caliphate has been established.  And we will not stop.  Don’t be cowards and attack us with drones.  Instead send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq.  We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House.”  They have declared war on the United States, beheaded American citizens in a horrific execution demonstrating utter disregard for human life and for America declaring that we are their ‘chief enemy’.  Yet, Mr. Obama says that we are not at war with them.  If someone is punching you in the face you can say we are not fighting but a bloody nose, black eyes, and bruises still happen as they continue to pulverize your face.  No, sometimes you have to step up and bring the game to them!

           I keep hearing that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ and that there are many Muslims that do not believe what is called the tenets of ‘Radical Islam’ so I have considered that and come to a conclusion.  There are millions of people who claim to be Muslim and follow Islam that have never read the Qur’an and do not speak Arabic.  They do not truly know what is in the Qur’an and those that do know that what we call ‘radical’ is ‘normal’, ‘fundamental’ and simply following the teachings and approach of their prophet Muhammad.

 Muhammad was apparently a very strange and some would argue deranged character.  His supposed encounter with an angel of God and ascension to the status of prophet and founder of Islam was, in part, at the encouragement of his wife and other family members.  He believed that a demon had inspired him to quote many of the things he put in would put in his Qur’an and these family members convinced him it was an angel of God and he was a prophet.  He was right and they were wrong, but that’s my opinion.  Some of the oddities and problems with Muhammad being a man of God include the likelihood that he would dress up in women’s clothes and the clothes of his child bride and claim to receive revelations through that activity.  He had sexual relations with a nine (9) year old girl and his wife Aisha was apparently only about six (6) when he married her and in my book having sex with a nine year old makes him a pedophile.  He advocated killing those who would not convert and so many things about this individual make him someone that a rational person could never receive spiritual guidance from but millions follow his teachings or the religion he founded.

As to the claim that there are people who are Muslim that do not believe what the theology of the jihadist that does not make Islam is a religion of peace.  Not knowing what is in their ‘book’ of a religion does not change its foundational and fundamental theology.  There are millions who identify themselves as Christians who have never read the Bible and have no idea what it really teaches.  Just being raised in a home that attended church no more makes you a Christian than visiting a hospital would make one a doctor or visiting a garage makes one a mechanic.  I have ridden on airplanes but that doesn’t make me a pilot.  No, those who know the teachings of the prophet Muhammad know that the so-called radicals are not being radical but simply following the teachings of their founder.

           Let me give you one example from their book – ‘I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who are bent on denying the truth; strike, then, their necks, and strike off every one of their finger-tips.’  Qu’ran 8:12   Does that sound like peace?  Prior to 9/11 three things were required for the terrorist to carry out their act in flying the planes into the Twin Towers in New York.  Al Qaeda needed a ‘safe haven’, ‘state support’, and a ‘lax immigration policy’ which they had.  ISIS is far better served on all three points than Al Qaeda was Pre-9/11 and to say they are not a threat is to be naïve at best.  Are they a threat?  They say they are and have cells in Mexico if not in the United States and there are thousands if not millions in our own land that cheer their activities.

         America if we do not wake up and stop trying to put lipstick on pigs and call them Debutantes we are going to pay a very high price for our willing blindness, faux tolerance, and political correctness.  It is time to identify terror for what it is and stop calling evil good and good evil.  Today I remember the horrific act of evil committed against America and Americans on 9/11 and my heart goes out to the families of the victims and I salute all the first responders who survived and did a spectacular job.  I also pay homage to the men and women in the military for the outstanding job they have done even in the face of an administration that hamstrings them on every turn.  God bless our troops!

            God help us wake up, stand up, and speak up.  God bless America!

I want to suggest that we, in America, adopt a novel new idea that men are equal, free, and endowed with certain unalienable rights by God Himself.  I suggest that we determine that government is responsible and accountable to the governed not vice versa.  What a Novel New Idea!  Wait, it is not new at all but is the core belief stated in the Declaration of Independence and provided the foundation for our Constitution in America.  It found expression in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence and should still resonate today to all freedom loving people regardless of political affiliation.

In the Declaration of Independence we read these words:

             “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  That to secure those rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness.”

             The unalienable rights are not solely ‘life, liberty,’ and the ‘pursuit of happiness’ they are INCLUDED.  Government’s function is to SECURE those rights not take them away, usurp them, abuse them, or abolish them.  Government IS NOT to command and dictate to the people in tyrannical micromanagement but to always recognize and operate in such a manner as to acknowledge that their power and authority is ONLY that given by WE THE PEOPLE.  Government MUST always be made to realize we not they own the government and should it overstep its bounds and become something other than that declared in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights we can, should, and will resist, alter and/or abolish it and form new government established on those principles and ideals.  It is WE not some oligarchical aristocracy that owns the government.  It is time we and they understand this and have it communicated to them in no uncertain terms.

Today, should our Founding Fathers be present men like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Patrick Henry would be calling for a revolution to abolish this oligarchy of elitist and return the true power to the citizens and force government to operate within its means and constitutional bounds legitimately.  They would demand that the Executive Branch follow the law, the constitution, and recognize and submit to the checks and balances of the Constitution.  They would demand that Congress do its constitutional duty and hold a rogue Executive Branch accountable for its indiscretions with regard to both the Law and the Constitution.  They would demand that WE THE PEOPLE become involved and make our voice heard throughout the land at the polls and in whatever manner is required to restore, protect, and defend the Constitutional Republic and its Constitution.

            We can excuse our inaction and in our silence give implied consent to the lawlessness of an overreaching federal government.  It is only as concerned citizens become involved and informed that the Constitutional Republican form of Government works.  When we grow silent and complacent an oligarchy forms which evolves into a tyrannical dictatorship as history has witnessed in various regions of the world.  If Freedom is precious to us we must return to that Novel New Idea that was neither novel nor new but has its roots back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  God not man makes us Free!  God not man gives us the right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’  How much is Freedom worth to you?  

             I challenge you to become involved and use a cliché – REMEMBER NOVEMBER!  America needs you!  God bless you and God bless America!

I asked some people recently, “If you could choose one character trait you would most desire in politicians what would that be?” I got a number of different answers and I’m sure that if I polled my friends list and social media I would get a wide array of character traits. Let me give you some that I was given and my response to them.

LISTED NOT NECESSARILY IN ORDER OR IMPORTANCE….

HONESTY…

I was told that ‘honesty’ is the most important quality in a political figure. But to take Bill Clinton’s approach to definitions what does honesty mean? When it comes to right and wrong it is incredibly important but even then differing moral ideals might render the definition of what is ‘honest’ differently. When it comes to speaking what one believes, honesty is important but some despots throughout history were honesty in describing what they desire/desired to do. Hamas is ‘honest’ in their declaration they want to obliterate Israel from the face of the earth but is that being honest in the sense of a quality you desire in someone?

TRANSPARENCY…

I was told that ‘being transparent’ was critical for a political candidate so the voters could know exactly what they were getting. Again if by ‘transparent’ we mean never obstructing investigations and being brutally honest and truthful about what has happened or is happening, that would or could be a good thing. If we mean being ‘transparent’ as Hitler became transparent in his desire to eliminate the Jews and build a Super Race while becoming dictator of the world if that is the transparency it is not a valued quality.

CHRISTIAN…

While I desire that those elected to high office know God and have the moral fiber that should accompany Christianity the interpretation of what being a ‘Christian’ involves is so vastly different among many I’m not sure of the value that distinction would afford with regard to elected office. I am a Christian and not ashamed to acknowledge it but we’ve had people who claimed to be and maybe are Christians who have been terrible leaders.

PATRIOT…

I had one person declare that only a ‘patriot’ should be elected to office and on some levels I would agree but again what do we mean when we say PATRIOT? I know what I mean but what I mean and what someone like Barack Obama means are worlds apart so while I want the leaders to be patriots I would need to quality the definition for it to be my ONE CHARACTER TRAIT I would have if I could choose it.

As I gave this some thought I realized that it would be almost impossible to desire only ‘one’ character trait. I want the elected officials to be honest, transparent, patriots, and men/women of character. I would like for them to be Christian under my definition and won’t get into that. I want them to be lovers of America, Freedom, the Rule of Law, and defenders of the Constitution of the United States of America. I want them to be for Limited Government, Reduced Spending, Less Taxes, and Sensible Regulations. I am not a ‘no government’ person but a ‘limited government’ one.

So what one character trait, if I could only choose, would I place at the top of my list? I would have to say INTEGRITY for this little noun carries a wealth of meaning all of which I would desire in a candidate and believe would propel them into the others that I heard.

Integrity (n) –

1. The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Synonyms: Honesty, probity, rectitude, honor, good character, principles, ethics, morals, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, trustworthiness.

2. The State of being whole and undivided.
Synonyms: Unity, unification, coherence, cohesion, togetherness, solidarity.

If I could instill in the heart and core being of a political candidate any one thing it would be INTEGRITY for in it I believe I would find the other qualities desired springing from the roots of that characteristic. Sadly, I do not see many, if any, political candidates who demonstrate INTEGRITY and that saddens my heart.

May God bless you and may God bless America!

I have been wondering when it would happen and it seems that it is happening over two years before the 2016 elections. The liberal media are showing signs of turning on their Boy Wonder in the White House for their prohibitive favorite candidate Girl Wonder Clinton. They know that with her baggage she would find it difficult to win election if she was to run just as a Democrat. No, Hillary has to run ‘against’ Barack Obama’s record on many fronts to enable her to dupe people into voting for her and in so doing will strip the Establishment Republicans of Obama’s record as a political weapon.

Hillary, with the help of the media, will be in a position to declare when the Republicans bring up Obama’s record that she will govern vastly different and highlight his bad policies. The problem is that many of them she not only supported but wanted to go even further when she and Libido Bill occupied the White House. The media will make Benghazi a non-topic, the Democrats will rally around that and any mention of it will result in immediate vilification as being sexist and ancient history. It will be, “What difference does that make now?” I see the machinery working now, the strategy sessions forming, and that man at her side who is one of the most astute politicians in modern history Bill Clinton working the game, spinning the spin, raking in the dollars, and rousing the troops. It is of great concern to me.

The only way to head this off is to nominate an articulate truly constitutional conservative who can challenge her claims, remind voters of her past failures, highlight her shortcomings, and refuse to be backed into a corner. That person must be a statesman/woman who like Ronald Reagan manifests enough charisma, is articulate, and disciplined enough to stay on message. The Senate, House, and White House are still winnable but it will take a shift in the power within the Republican Party to accomplish it. If the Karl Rove’s remain in control, the John McCain’s, Chris Christie’s, Jeb Bush’s, and that crowd remain in the driver’s seat we will see another milk toast candidate that will get waxed in 2016 no matter how bad Obama’s poll numbers are.

The media has long ceased to ‘report news’ and has been ‘creating news’ for a long time and that will not likely change in the next two years. The love fest they had for and with Obama will be transferred to Hillary and Obama will become as outdated as last year’s fashions. I don’t know how this is going to play out for people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and those of that ilk and could cause a rift that divides the party but not likely. I truly believe that the Democrats will become more energized in the next few months and by the time 2016 arrives they will be tuned into what the media is selling, drinking the Kool-Aid, and believing the fear mongering that the Republicans are going to return blacks to slavery, women to being barefooted and pregnant without the right to vote, and things of that nature. It will be lies, lies, and more lies but what would be new about that?

I am praying that God move on the heart of a candidate that all factions of the Republican Party, Conservatives, Constitutionalist, and even Libertarians can view as a supportable candidate. I pray that the person garner enough grassroots support that the Ruling Class Elitist of the Party dethroned. I pray that the person demonstrate integrity, have enough oratorical ability to communicate the message of America, and disciplined enough to stay on point. I am praying for America and believe that if Hillary or any Democrat wins election as President in 2016 America as we know it is finished and may be anyway. Therefore I cannot let up for one minute and must pray, speak, write, give, and work to see our Constitutional Republic restored and the Elitist Oligarchy demolished.

May God guard and guide you and may He bless America again!

Comedian Ron White’s infamous routine ‘You Can’t Fix Stupid’ is a statement that I have thought about many times in my life. Why would I spend time on this matter? Simply because it seems that we have an ‘Epidemic of Stupid’ in America and it is spreading faster than anything I have ever witnessed. It is a problem that needs a cure, but is there a cure?

I recall, as a teenager saying something was ‘stupid’ and that you could not do anything to prevent stupidity. My dad challenged me and said, “Boy if you learn you can fix it.” I knew better than to challenge my father but I did not buy that simply because even as a teenager I had come to grips with the fact that some people were very knowledgeable and informed but were still STUPID. I had come to realize that STUPID was not dependent upon education or information it was the result of attitude.

I have watched people do stupid things because of their attitude. I have watched people do things that put them in harm’s way because someone told them they could not do it and believing their own invincibility thought they could prove the nay-sayers wrong. NOPE and as Bill Engvall would say, ‘Here’s Your Sign.’ I have observed people do what Albert Einstein said was the definition of Insanity. They kept doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result. Even when they had knowledge that what they were doing had little or no chance of working and had failed miserably numerous times they still tried. If that is not a picture of S T U P I D what is?

When it comes to the voting public, the only hope we have of ‘Fixin’ Stupid’ is information coupled with experience. Unless and until the voting public personally experiences the disastrous policies of the federal government significantly and until we find someone who can speak rationally and articulately as to what is happening, why it is happening, and how it may be reversed they will remain S T U P I D. Although highly educated and having vast knowledge of many things, yet continuing to vote politicians into office and back into office that are damaging this nation qualifies as stupid in my book.

When it comes to politicians I have little hope that they will ever recover from the epidemic of stupidity that has permeated the Halls of Congress and the White House. They consider us stupid and we may well deserve that characterization because we allow them to wiggle off the hook of responsibility and accountability. It seems that once elected they go through the Congressional or Political ‘Sheep Dip’ of Accountability Teflon which prevents anything from sticking to them. The only reason that works is because we have not RISEN UP and DEMANDED something different to such a degree that it is unmistakable to them.

If I could somehow form a coalition of the left and right and throw the bums out just one time they would listen the next time. However that would be an exercise in futility and would probably even qualify as STUPID because the core values of the left and right are so diametrically opposite that each side would want the upper hand and the coalition would be at best shifting sand. There would be concessions, compromises, and treachery involved and we would end up with something no better and possibly worse as a result so I toss that idea aside. But, I will not give up on my desire to see ‘Citizen Representatives’ elected to Congress. I will not abdicate my pursuit of a restoration to a functional ‘Constitutional Republic’ in America. I will not cease to pray for my nation, our leaders, and citizenry for our hearts to be touched by the ‘core values’ and ‘principles’ upon which our Constitution was established and we RETURN leaving STUPID behind.

Will it happen in my lifetime? I wish I knew. Will happen? I wish I knew. Is it worth fighting for and giving all for? ABSOLUTELY! So as you continue your pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness I urge you to stay informed, stay engaged, and keep the faith.

God bless you and God bless America!

That statement was brought back to the forefront of our consciousness by Ronald Reagan in the 1980’s but has been used for centuries according to the annals of history. It is believed that it was spoken by Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 1st century. Hadrian is reportedly to have said, “Peace through strength, or failing that peace through threat.” Others have used it through recorded history.

The idea of ‘peace through strength’ was a principle I learned in elementary school and discovered that to avoid being bullied or intimidated you had to demonstrate a show of force or strength. If you were successful the bullying and intimidation ceased to exist and you had peace. In the military this was once again brought to immediate awareness in boot camp where a group of guys from New York thinking they could intimidate the rest of us and bully their way into getting what they wanted had to be confronted. A few guys from Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas joined me in meeting this challenge head on and although there was a little physical altercation the peace immediately ensued after their leader was knocked unconscious. We did not want to fight but we were not going to be bullied so STRENGTH allowed us to negotiate or demand PEACE. I have seen this principle many times in life and while it is not always about physical strength it is STRENGTH. You NEVER attempt to negotiate from a position of weakness if you expect to achieve anything lasting and worthwhile.

As I reflect back on some of the most recent presidential administrations I find that most of them were able to present the idea that American Strength would be a force to be reckoned with if there were hostilities or aggression and for the most part it was effective. That changed somewhat with 9/11 but we still stood as a threat to the aggressors around the globe and people ‘feared’ the American military might and our resolve to use it. That was not the case under Jimmy Carter as was demonstrated in the Iranian Crisis and the hostages. That changed with the election of Ronald Reagan and it is my conviction that the Iranian government fully believed that President Reagan would use force if necessary and backed down. Peace was maintained during the Cold War because of STRENGTH not because of weakness, lack of resolve, and mealy mouthed rhetoric.

If you attempt to negotiate from weakness you had better be one exceptional negotiator or you will lose every time. Today we have the double edged sword of the perceived weakness of the current occupant of the White House and a belief by most of the world that we are incapable of doing what needs to be done militarily. That view is shared by some of our commanding leaders in the military and the Pentagon. Our military has been systematically decimated and diminished to the point that we may not be able to handle a single front conflict and most assuredly would be severely strained and stretched to go to two fronts. We are no longer considered STRONG by those who would do us harm. They view the mealy mouthed rhetoric of this administration as a sign of weakness and have watched as we in America the dismantling of our military machine. Both are indicators of the seriousness of our situation and the danger around the globe for America. Barack Obama, John Kerry, the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Justice, and Hillary Clinton all have demonstrated disdain for our military and thereby reduced us to ‘talk’ with no ‘walk’ to back it up. That is not saying our military could not it is saying those in power WILL NOT.

America is no longer ‘feared’ but we are still ‘hated’. When you have people in the highest positions of power who do not believe that America or any nation has any moral authority to stand for right and resist tyranny, terrorism, and despotism you have a situation where only bad things can ensue. Mr. Putin in Russia, North Korea, China, and the Islamic States have no fear or respect for the American president and do not believe we as a people have the resolve nor does our military powers still rise to the level of being a direct and imminent threat should they act, thus you see aggression like never before. It will not get better UNLESS and UNTIL we reverse course and restore the STRENGTH that will bring PEACE for our people. Again let me reiterate I believe in our military but not our leaders. I believe in the American military might but not the political leaders in Washington and the so-called leaders in DC negate the might of our military because they will not allow our forces to do what they are trained and capable of doing! That is the disastrous and dangerous part!

God bless you and God bless America!
