KISS THE MIDDLE EAST GOOD BYE
boblonsberry.com ^ | 09/17/12 | Bob Lonsberry

How about this.

How about we pack up and come home.

How about we tell them we’re not giving them another dime,

How about we tell them to go screw themselves.p

How about we leave them to live their Stone Age lives with their savage culture and their fanatic religion.p

We’ve been bankrolling and defending any number of Muslim nations over the last decade and where has it gotten us? Our ambassador is dead, our embassies are under attack and our “allies” are shooting us down.

It’s time to take the hint.

It’s time to give them the finger.

We’ve spent years trying to win their hearts and minds. It’s about time we realized they have neither.

It’s about time we realized it’s every man for himself, and America has got to take care of itself.

If they ever crawl out of the Dark Ages, maybe we can re-engage. Until then, to hell with them.

We have in recent days seen protests across scores of nations, people assailing our embassies and burning our flag. Shouting their support for a dead terrorist and waving aloft his flag. Nations we liberated and fund repay us with hatred and condemnation. Soldiers and police whom we have clothed, paid, trained and armed turn their guns upon us in acts of contempt and cowardice.

We have given them our blood and our treasure and they have given us the back of their hand.

And it’s time to cut them loose.

If the Russians or Chinese want to make allies of them, let them try. If we fear Iranian or Islamic expansion, what has anything we’ve yet done done to slow them? It’s all a perfect mess and it’s time to scrape it off the sole of our boots.

Seriously.

This isn’t invective and frustration. This is a policy proposal.

More likely, this is the will of the American people.

Cut the aid, pull the troops, stop the gravy train. Leave the sandbox to the cats.

No more foreign aid for any of them, pull our embassies out of half of them, wave good bye to most of them. We don’t need Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Egypt or any of them. They are a noose around our neck and they want nothing more than to dance on our graves.

It is clear they don’t like us, and are never going to like us. It is clear our foreign policy elicits their contempt, not their respect. Let’s buy oil from the ones we have to buy oil from and ignore the rest. We don’t need them. They serve absolutely no useful purpose.

So kiss them good bye.

Let’s keep our homeland defenses strong, work even harder on intelligence, and do our best to keep them and their suicide vests on their own side of the ocean.

We tried. It didn’t work. Let’s write them off.

But we can’t get to it and use it effectively here.... unless or until we dismantle the EPA, which, along with the current Democrat Party.... represents America’s “enemy within”.

Then there's onshore natural gas. (Great lakes are also off limits to drilling)

Saudi Arabia is the pulling strings. Don’t fool yourself, they are in the funding up to their ears.

But I’m a bit more radical.

It's pretty easy to foretell the future. All we have to do is look back at Jimmy Carter and the Shah of Iran.

Yes, we have let the cancer of Islam invade our nation. Contrary to the Muslim sympathizer in the White House, they had nothing to do with the founding of this country, do not understand or want our freedoms, and will never assimilate as they wait for the day when they can take over and rule the USA according to Sharia law and the Koran.

They all must go back to their Muslim countries and try to change them enough to have the good life they’ve had in the USA. Good luck on that, “moderate” Muslims. Your heads will roll before any reform of your 7th century religion will take hold.

another problem is the fact that several of these Islamic countries sit on sea lanes and can therefore be choke points. We can certainly escort ships through these or seize territory for “protective bases” to project power. Much like was done by the Dutch, French , Spanish & English in the 1600s.

Because of this we will never be completely clear of them.

Another notch in Obama’s “anti-colonial” belt.

His goal is to reduce America’s influence and standing in the world.

Drilling for natural gas on the mainland hasn’t stopped. We’ve got more gas than we can use and more coming.

80% must be by land are. Because when you look at the Bbl and Tcf, It looks like the really big fields are being developed and the rest doesn’t amount to diddly squat.

Amen...deport the Muslim radicals and keep all Muslims from immigrating into the United States. What does it take before the “wise men” in Washington realize that it is not the “religion of peace” and it is not just a “tiny number of extremists”. Islam is not a moderate ideology. There may be some Muslims who are moderate people but Islam itself is extremist and has been from the beginning.

American companies should be out of the Muslim world as well because they are just endangering the lives of their American employees who sometimes have to travel on business to these very dangerous parts of the world. Muslims are barbarians with an irrational ideology that defends their barbarism as if it was something holy and we should not be putting our citizens within harm's way by sending them to these danger zones against their will.

Take American money out of the Muslim world, take American business out of the Muslim world and let them go back to their dark age economies without electricity, computers and modern travel. No food assistance and no modern medicine either, treat them as the enemy. You do not feed the enemy. Withdrawing assistance from our enemies will send a strong message to the rest of the third world—if you want the goodies from the United States, you had better act like a friend of the United States. Do not appease Muslims, they have been our enemies for 1400 years!

As far as I can tell, no muslim nations have the capability of reaching us here without our help.

“Saudi Arabia is the pulling strings. Don’t fool yourself, they are in the funding up to their ears.”

Since our country has had no effective energy policy for over 45 years, or, the policy seems to be keep buying Arab Oil, every elected official in DC must be getting a wwekly check from the Saudi King.

It’s the same with the drug war. There is more money for graft, payoffs and coruption by keeping drugs illegal. But I digress.

You can lead people to freedom, but you can’t make them free.

It is easier to teach a goat to surf than to lead them to water and make them drink

(applies to also to sheeple )

“How about deporting ALL of the Muslim Imans and any known radicals from the U.S.”

Won’t do. What you’re suggesting is removing the cadre of senior officers (of Islam), but the *troops* will still be here, still under the thrall and control of their highest leader.

Stop and think for a moment — just who *are* “the foot soldiers of Islam”? (even if they may not be “on active duty” at any given moment)
And who is “their leader”?
And what is their “field manual of operations”?

Hint: their leader is not anyone alive. In fact, he’s been dead for 1,400 years. But he remains “in control”, through his manual of instructions which keeps the soldiers of Islam under his thumb.

Let’s put this another way — a way even Bob Lonsberry is afraid to talk about.

Assume that your body shows a tumor within. Upon examination, the physician advises you that the clump of cells could be cancer, but at the moment do not appear to be malignant. Nevertheless, they are there.

What do you do about this?

Do you take the “diverse” approach, and deem “all cells equal”, equally deserving of life within your body?

Or, do you realize that at any time, the unwelcome cells could metastasize within, and grow with the potential to destroy you?

What do you do about this?

The West faces this very dilemma.

What will it do?
Based on The West’s behavior over the last eleven years, what’s the prognosis?
