The following is a conversation between a female in her late twenties and a very well respected retired Major General:
(Side note: the conversation is inspired from an email circulating about Obama's latest trip to Afghanistan. "As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and
didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he
finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home
that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas
Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.")

And the conversation begins:
Female: "He definitely cares more about his image than anything else. That's
comforting."

RET Maj. Gen: "We live in a society where the media picks who they love, and facts
don't matter. If you want to change that, we need to kick a lot of folks out of Congress - especially any who have supported such stupid legislation as SB2433 or the Employee Free Choice Act (includes all Arkansas reps, I believe), and who have done nothing to fix the gas
price issue, such as authorizing drilling offshore and in ANWR. If they don't have the sense to do that, and party means more to them than their constituency so they support Democratic idiocy and Obama, we need to kick them out."

Female: "I can't, for the life of me, understand how people think they're making
the world a BETTER place. Especially the media. I think we were better off in the 30s, 40s and 50s when we were in blissful peace without the media brainwashing us. I'm embarrassed to admit I went to school with those people that are in the media now."

RET Maj. Gen: "Some people grow up and become self-reliant adults, some need parents
their entire lives. The media (most of it) is enamored with the idea that government, with cool, "intellectual", non-religious, liberals in charge, can be parents to us all. That is the neurosis you are dealing with. Look at how many of them did what you did, and took the first opportunity to wean yourself off any dependence on your parents - how many are still living with or indirectly supported by someone else?"

Female: "Yes...good point. I know plenty of people (mostly all hard core liberal)
that are still dependent on their parents, at 25-30. Sad. They need Big Brother. Always.
And...Big Brother scares me. Terribly."

RET Maj. Gen: "Worse, as SB2433 indicates, these folks want an even bigger brother than
the federal government - that bill, sponsored by Obama, would have us give 850B in aid over the next three years to the UN to distribute as those anti-American socialists see fit. We would also be placed under International law on subjects such as the environment, labor rules, etc.
So that when you vote you change or influence nothing, and the US government over time becomes a mere middle manager for the larger world government. These people want John Lennon's "Imagine" to be put in place, with no borders, nations, churches - what they don't realize is that when that happens, unless that world government is armed, omnipresent and ruthless, there will be anarchy and chaos. I won't even get into what happens to free speech and freedom of religion. Just remember that Bridget Bardot went to jail in France for saying the
muslims should shut up and quit rioting."

Female: "What's funny is that all the people campaigning for such a world will
also be the first to yell and holler "where's my government?" "where's my freedom of speech?" "where's my protection?" when all hell breaks loose. I have decided I'm not personally going down w/out a fight. "

Conversation at this point has ended for the time being...
With that said...I must admit I live in a deep fear these days. Almost that we are witnessing the Second Coming. The Book of Revelation outlines events leading up to the end of our physical world, including the introduction of the Anti-Christ: "The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal.... the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything." Hmmm...if I recall from the news casts I've viewed lately, I'd say Mr. Obama is more concerned with his global appeal than with his national appeal (point made: his recent trip to Berlin). The people are "flocking" to him. I'm not one to usually bring my religious beliefs into my political views (though please make no mistake, many of my religious beliefs help determine my political views), and I'm not sure that I believe Obama is the Anti-Christ.
I AM concerned that Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He's a JUNIOR senator. A first term Senator. What does he know about foreign policy, and while I'm at it...what does he know about national policy? Hmmm.... except to say what he thinks others want to hear? From Obama's lips to my blog: "People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time," he declared. What moment? What time? WTF is he talking about? Why is he campaigning to a bunch of Europeans? What about us? The Americans. Who he wants to LEAD. He is a globalist on issues such as taxes and distributing our nation's wealth, but opposes free trade because he needs the unions to get elected. Try to figure that one out! *Please insert a tone of sarcasm while reading the following quote: "We are all one big socialist tribe, and our US ascendancy as a nation richer than all others is disturbing, so we have to give it away to make the less fortunate not despise us and, say, blow up our buildings"-RET Maj. Gen. *Please remove tone of sarcasm at this point: The terrorists are going to blow us up whether we give them money or not. It's not our wealth they hate. It's the ideas and freedom that our nation stands for that they hate. It's the fact that I can post this blog without fear of retribution that they hate. It's the fact that I'm a woman, voicing an opinion that they hate.
Above the song "Imagine" by John Lennon was referenced...what a perfect world. Too bad the only song that comes to mind when I think of today's society is REM's "End of the World."
I'm out...til then, xoxo.
