Peace in Our Time

Did you hear the latest? Obama has, or is about to solve the problem of illegal marijuana - by making it legal. Similarly, all around the world, he has shown our enemies that he is willing, even eager, to join their ranks. This way, he figures, there will be no one to fight, and no one will want to fight us. Hence: PEACE in our time; the peace dividend to blow sky-high; and accolades from the likes of the UN and Nobel.

Imagine the world without enemies (excepting, of course, FOX, talk radio and Republicans)! Imagine a world without Israel, Taiwan, India and Eastern Europe. Imagine a world without America.

It’s no longer difficult to predict our future. Yet, there are too many who still don’t see. It may already be too late to reverse course. We’ve already traveled too far along this road.

There was never a reason for why we should lose a war. Yet we’re about to lose our second and third in a row. We’ve tied ourselves into knots for too long. Our whole nations has become the like the Republican Party which is afraid to win. Even when we win, we don’t act like winners – we apologize. It’s no wonder that the Marxists were able to step into the breach (no apologies there).

Nothing new on talk radio either. “The next election; the next election”. Over and over again, “the next election”. And what happens in the meantime? We argue about health care and cluck our tongues. “Did you hear what Rush Limbaugh said about slavery?” Did you read Helen Thomas’ latest book? How come Borders isn’t stocking “Liberty and Tyranny” anymore?

Meanwhile the country is slipping out of our grasp. What march? What tea parties? Did you hear? Obama had a party at the White House where ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’ performed. Awesome, dude!

We’ve got to do better than this. At this rate, we won’t last until the mid-terms. Never mind 2012. I no longer worry so much about Obama serving multiple terms. When things get this hot, there’s usually a world war. As soon as that happens, all bets are off.
