TET II -- The End

Nah - I wouldn't worry so much. After a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington DC, what's left of American resolve will get let loose.

Unfortunately, it seems that that is what it is going to take.

[Gaffer]

Great cities, the emblems of Western Civilization, began as a walled defenses against marauding enemies. In a world turned upside-down, they are now our great vulnerability. They are suicidal concentrations of expensive economic, cultural and political assets waiting, exposed, for destruction. The only way to ignore nuclear terrorism will be to “redeploy” preemptively out of the crosshairs. Within years our cities will die – abandoned or incinerated.

I wouldn't give a plug nickel for the near-term survival chances of any large population urban city in this country. Once the vehicle-delivered nuclear blasts have been executed in our cities, the 'major' population of this country will be concentrated in areas far-outside the confines of the former dense population areas. In those areas, means of self-protection will be critical just to survive.

End of the west? Just crying over spilt milk. Time to pick ourselves up and get on with it. Everyone was sensing what was going to happen we just couldn,t believe the leadership was going to drive over the cliff. Better it happens now than in 08. Our first mistake was to lose respect for our adversaries because we disagree with them. Time for repubs in the house and senate to take stock and start planning. I think Mitch Mc. can do it. Don't look for help from the White House though; they've fell into making up the facts to go along wtih their agenda.

Now it is the traitors turn to set out their agenda.

We will support them as they supported America.

Sic Semper Tyrannus.

[FlameThrower]

I think Republican chances are very good in '08 to decimate the Democrats. But it may well be too late. Once the genie is out of the bottle....

[Dan Evans]

If you do not consent to be terrorized, terrorism does not work. If it does not work, it will, eventually, not happen. To allow it to work is to invite it to happen. The successfully terrorized victim serves as accomplice to the terrorist.

Very good point. That pretty much sums up the operating principle for all of human history.

[KyHammer]

You have to expect the democrats will act true to form. They can hardly hold themselves in check now. I'm anticipating some real entertainment out of these guys. There are going to be all kinds of things to be mad about and laugh about, they just can't help it. Plus they didn't beat us we beat ourselves. If we lose again in 08 we deserve it.

Excellent comments, but one needs an understanding of history to digest them, something that is sorely lacking in America today....

We failed to accept that we live in a Media-driven world now, where re-runs of Survivor get higher ratings than the Evening News shows, no matter how biased they may be.

We assumed that The Sheeple had the intelligence to sift through the 24/7 drip,drip,drip, of Lies, hatred and exaggerations, and that they would make the right choice, without having to counter each ever more outrageous claim directly.

We assumed that a country that ignores the rivers of blood flowing in it's own Dem-controlled inner-city streets, would "get" why the struggle of less than 1% of the population actively involved in The War on Terror is vital to them.

We failed to take the on the Media War against America, and instead gave the initiative to our enemies and the American Left, who were obviously willing to sell out our nation for short-term political gains, seeing it as their ticket to return to power...
(See the Rockefeller Memo)

In short, we bet on the Intelligence of the American People to make a good decision. History will decide if they have, but will their be any of us left to analyze the result?

Check this one out.

Nah, the cowards will still be cringing under rocks waiting for somebody to come rescue us.

[353FMG]

It is a mushroom cloud that will finally grab our attention. The question is; how will we react? From what I have seen so far after 9/11, I am not very impressed.

[353FMG]

The genie came out of the bottle a long time ago when we allowed Muslim immigration. Even today potential terrorsts are allowed in and potential terrorists are born in our hospitals. There will always be an ample supply of those that are bent on the destruction of America.

[43north]

You are absolutely correct. I saw Hollerin' Howie on FNS this morning. He was trying to appear as centrist as he possibly could. That won't last long.

The dims are pack animals. Once they get a scent of blood, they will start ripping and tearing at everything and everyone that is not one of them.

The next two years will be very interesting, to say the least.

[ScholarWarrior]

Nonsense. This is part of the cycle of life. We have been fighting the lowlives since the dawn of time.

[FlameThrower]

And not always winning.

[MamaLucci]

After a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington DC,

Nuke their allies? LA or Chicago or more likely targets, IMHO.

TET II -- The End contains some pretty good thoughts and analysis.

And we can't, ultimately, blame the Left and its chief weapon, the Media.

I agree. But a generation ago is a different story.

Americans were caught flatfooted. Newspapers were quickly giving way to TV network news. TV network news rapidly replaced newspapers as the primary source and it was staffed by men who made their mark in W.W.II. We had every reason to trust them.

From the author's article published a couple of years ago:

[The events in Viet Nam] was now a war for the heart and mind of Walter Cronkite. And there, an American defeat was forged out of an American victory.

The hearts and minds of MSM employees today yielded before our forces entered Iraq. To wit, Ellen Ratner hoped that "Bush would mess up;" ABCNNBCBS employees proclaimed that they were journalists, impartial and were not going to wear no stinkin' American Flags on air -- and scoffed at the few who did show the Flag.

"Bring it all down, man" was the 1960s pledge of allegiance. Well. they're still trying.
