The sacrifices of Americans in the 20^th Century freed hundreds of millions of people around the planet. America is still the beacon, the hope of mankind. Obama’s recent shameful apologies notwithstanding, America is the one place people will risk everything to get to. America’s mistakes, and there are many of them – some repeated ad nauseum --  are so small, by comparison to that great truth, that it would be better if our illustrious president first apologized to the American people living and dead and then shut his fat mouth.

Mitt Romney took exception to Obama’s claim on Arabian television networks that America has “dictated to other nations.” As Governor Romney so eloquently put it: “No, America has sacrificed to free other nations from dictators.” America is one of a handful of nations on earth who’ve sacrificed their own blood for the freedom of others. It began first with abolitionists and later the entire Union under Republican leadership fighting a war to set enslaved peoples free and it continues to this day.

President Obama has signed a treaty without teeth supposedly to end “nuclear proliferation”. He has agreed to reduce our missile defense system as part of this treaty. Like Chamberlain before him he has appeased a wily and rapacious enemy.   If our potential enemy has no wish to attack us at some moment in the future, if it is as he implies “the furthest thing from his mind,” why would he demand we lessen our defenses? Making peace with the fox is not good policy for the henhouse; making peace with the fox and leaving the door to the chicken coop wide open is utter folly.

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
