OBAMA DISARMS NUCLEAR AMERICA
boblonsberry.com ^ | 04/06/10 | Bob Lonsberry

Posted on 04/06/2010 5:41:01 AM PDT by shortstop

We have been bankrupted and bound, and today we will be disarmed.

We have been destroyed from within, and today we will prepare to be destroyed from without.

Today, Barack Obama will abandon the policy of the last half century. Today, Barack Obama will give away our trump card.

Today, America will stop being a nuclear power.In the game of disarmament, Barack Obama wants to lead by example. In the game of chicken that is the international balance of power, Barack Obama wants us to put down our gun.

Today, the United States will declare that it is renouncing the nuclear first strike. Further, we will say that in some situations we won’t even use nuclear arms in self-defense.

A country can attack the American homeland with weapons of mass destruction, and we won’t launch the nukes.

Chemical and biological weapons, unleashed against our homes and children, and we don’t promise to blow them to hell.

This is the Obama Plan. China and Russia are no longer foes or rivals, we can bribe little countries into staying non-nuclear, the lion will lay down with the lamb. It is a brave new world.

Unless it’s not.

Unless the timeless motivations of humankind remain unchanged.

In that case, we are dead.

Because every bit of human history attests to the fact that only the strong survive, that peace is the fruit of overwhelming strength -- not cowering capitulation. For 50 years we kept Russia from our throats by holding a sword over its head.

Now we are losing our sword.

No first strike, no certain retaliation -- no guts, no glory. We are staking our survival on the kindness of strangers.

Obama has suspended the rules of history.

And we will pay the price.

He is imposing his party’s hippie nonsense on our country. He is doing Neville Chamberlain one better. Chamberlain surrendered to Hitler, Obama is surrendering to the world.

The methodical destruction of American pre-eminence is a step closer to completion.

Here’s why.

There is no such thing as good relations between nations. There is no such thing as amity between peoples and accord between countries. In all eras, under all circumstances, nations and principalities have jostled for dominance. The fight to control has always been fought.

The only reprieves have come at the point of a sword.

The Pax Americana was not the consequence on enlightenment, it was the result of our mastery of nuclear munitions. We invented and perfected the atom bomb, and we are armed ourselves to the teeth. We had bombs in silos and on trains and aboard ships. We had planes and missiles and submarines.

We had a military attache who went everywhere the president went, with the nuke codes handcuffed to his wrist, just in case we needed to make the rubble bounce.

And we never foreswore the first strike.

We never promised anybody that we wouldn’t throw the first punch. We wanted to keep them guessing, we wanted to keep them on their toes, we wanted to keep them scared.

If you’ve got a big enough stick, the pitbull doesn’t try to bite you.

But if you’re defenseless, he rips you to shreds.

Our hope is our might.

And Barack Obama wants to give that away.

He wants us to turn away from our nuclear arms in the hopes that our example will lead others to enlightenment.

But it won’t.

It will lead them to aggression, to the bolder insolence of a nation on the march.

We are safe as long as anyone who threatens us isn’t. But the moment we give away our superiority, the moment we can’t snap the neck of anyone who raises a hand against us, we become a target.

Before the new lion can rise, he must kill the old lion.

And that’s us.

China wants to own us, Russia wants to humble us, Venezuela wants to mock us.

And this will let them.

With our conventional forces shown to be inadequate to project our will against irregulars in the Arab Third World, having been essentially spanked by tribal militias in both Afghanistan and Iraq, we are giving up our only military advantage.

True, we spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined. But we spend our defense dollars on daycare centers and psychologists, and power is not power if it is neither projected nor respected.

We may have the dual distinction of being the world’s most-powerful and shortest-lived empire.

And Barack Obama is seeing to that.

We are destroying our Army in endless Muslim wars, and now we are surrendering our strategic advantage.

Those nukes have been our ace in the hole. And Barack Obama has decided to fold.

Let’s hope the world’s bad guys have mercy on us.

Because heaven knows our president doesn’t.

And, each day we lose a little more of our America. What will be next for the Kenyan Marxist Muslim?

Funny, I don't remember reading anything about this in the St. Petersburg Times this morning.

“0bamao is begging to have an American city obliterated by a nuke.”

If he wants it to be DC then I am in agreement with him.

Why any President, even an Anti-American one, would invite this is beyond me. His power would be diminished, and he'd be caught in the storm. Of course, a cynic might say that a major CBW or nuclear terrorist strike would provide a good excuse for emergency temporary suspension of elections, but that wouldn't go smoothly at all.

Unfortunately this is the lesson that Fools and Dreamers must learn the HARD WAY. And we are all obligated to pay the Price.

Bammy is a combo of a freakshow and Doomsday Machine on two legs. It would be comical if he was not in power and so dangerous. God help our Republic.

Your are correct. I suppose the same twisted logic that prompts him to bow to any foreign dictator or potentate is also at play here.

Good word and a new one on me. Had to google it. For those who may not know what it means:
•collaborator: someone who collaborates with an enemy occupying force.

If the shoe fits.....and it sure looks like it does.

Ya know...all this hand wringing/sobbing about our beloved country dying is getting really OLD. If we all loved this country so much then why is Barry president and why is Congress controlled by a single political party? America is getting what it voted for, what it wanted so badly.

Since it seems to be a foregone conclusion, anyone care to nominate one?

Yesterday, an ignorant woman (HS dropout) in my office, who incidentally vociferously supported and voted for the marxist traitor, was complaining to me about all the new taxes from 0bamascare.

I lost it and told her that it was people like her that were responsible, so go whine to someone else!

I'd imagine one out of every 3 episodes of star trek had a scene where Kirk or whoever would drop the shields for one strategery or another. We're just living it. For real. With real enemies, including the "script writers".

Sorry Scott, but DC is my first choice - nothing much will be missed except a few monuments.

Hope you are in western or souther Virgina.

I thought about Zell Miller’s speech at the Republican National Convention in 2004 when he mentioned spitwads.
