Karma

Barack Hussein Obama, a man with no record of personal accomplishment, no leadership experience, and a man with strong connections to terrorists, criminals, racists, and anti-American Communists pulled it off and was re- elected President of these United States. What does this re-election mean and what does it say about the American people? Could it be that karma will finally bestow the consequences of dishonorable behavior on the American people?

Why do I say this? In answer to my question, let me remind you of this statement and where these words took the American people:

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Inaugural address, Friday, January 20, 1961

With these words ringing in our ears, my generation went to Vietnam and promised the Vietnamese people we would stand shoulder to shoulder with them until their freedom was secure and the enemies of liberty were defeated. But, it is to America’s eternal shame and disgrace that the American people soon grew tired of this noble undertaking and betrayed the very people who had believed and trusted us.

The American people elected Democrats to our Congress who had rather see American soldiers killed and our country defeated than allow a Republican president to receive credit for defeating our enemies. This Democrat led Congress (the infamous 93rd) cut off funding for the Vietnam War and forced the withdrawal of American combat troops in 1973, but we departed with the hollow promise that we would return if the Republic of South Vietnam was invaded by communist North Vietnam. As everyone must remember, this, again, was a lie.

The tactic we had taught the South Vietnamese was to, when invaded by the North, fall back to a defendable position, stall the communist advance, force the communists to mass their forces before South Vietnam’s defenses, and this would allow time for American forces and air power to return to assist them as we had promised. South Vietnam did just that; for twelve days, outnumbered ten to one, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) held and stalled the communist’s advance outside Saigon near a little town called Xuan Loc.

Outside Xuan Loc during April 1975, in an effort as gallant as that of the Spartans at Thermopylae, the ARVN 18th Infantry Division held two North Vietnamese Army Corps at bay for twelve days. Every infantryman in the ARVN 18th Infantry Division died in that stand. None ran away and none survived. They died to a man fighting overwhelming odds and believing to the end we Americans would return as promised.

Just before the last ARVN soldier of the 18th Infantry Division died, he might have rolled over on his back and looked to the sky hoping to see the contrails of American B-52 bombers and he saw nothing. This last ARVN soldier then knew that he, along with all the Vietnamese people, had been betrayed. With his dying breath, this soldier must have then turned his gaze heavenly and beseeched God to Damn America.

Yes, there is such a thing as karma where dreadful consequences are meted out in recompense for dishonorable behavior. The American people’s just rewards for abandoning a valiant ally during their time of need could have been that the chickens came home to roost on the American people with an Obama Presidency, a Nancy Pelosi Congress, a Harry Reid Senate, a John Roberts Supreme Court, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving people.

The election of 2008 and re-election of 2012 was about more than just Obama, his arrogance, his empty resume, and his traitorous comrades. Just as karma provides consequences for dishonorable behavior, there are also adverse consequences for irresponsible behavior. As a people deserve the government they vote into office, they also deserve the consequences resulting from that government’s actions or inaction. The consequences of a government not securing a country’s borders is that a people will lose their country as we are now losing ours to an invasion of illegal immigrants. The consequences of not securing a country’s electoral processes to prevent voter fraud is the country will lose its Democracy to a Thugocracy as we have lost ours to a Chicago-mob run Coup d’état.

But the final insult to our Democracy is with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, an avowed Marxist Communist, a significant chapter in American History finally closed. Our sixty-odd year long Cold War with Communism is over and the Communists won the war.

These words precede those of President Kennedy, so no one can say we didn’t see this coming:

“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”

Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

As we Americans continue to live out the old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”

Well said.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Very powerful. Thanks for posting it. America was sleeping for a long time and now we have this.

[Fireone]

I used to work for a guy who had a “Veterans for Kerry” bumper sticker on the tank of his Gold Wing.
I never could figure that one out.

[Jukeman]

Obama needs to handcuffed, shackled and marched out of the Whitehouse in front of a million or more veterans and then see what he has to say. He is over stepping the authority of his office with each passing moment. He has become a despot and we know what has been done in the case of most despots.

Finny, you and I are very nearly the same age. I was in 6th grade 1969 -70

Still, I participated with a group of ~ 35 adults and WWII vets in the "Win the War" countermarch against the anti-war "2nd Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam" held in Washington, DC, on November 15, 1969. We were derided: trash, bottles, and curses were thrown at us to whole way. Our march finished up that day at Arlington at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Moratorium

We would soon return ... 100,000 strong.

The next year I participated in two "March for Victory" rallies held on May 4, 1970 and October 3, 1970, and a third rally held on May 8, 1971 only days after John Kerry belched his "Winter Soldier" screed in front of Congress.

March for Victory in Vietnam, October 3, 1970

These were the folks who formed some of that "silent majority" in 1972 that gave Nixon the victory, that allowed him to bomb the shit out of Hanoi in December,1972 and that gave Peace - with Honor - a Chance in 1973!

As a young teen it was great to be able to stand-up for America and against domestic communists.

FReegards!

Doogle,
I was also USAF 62’-’68. Instructor in the DC area (back when, compared to today) it was a country village! Was there for JFK’s funeral. I can still hear those muffled drums...
Compared to the slimeball now in the White Hut, JFK was a prince even if he had trouble keeping his pants on.

Atta boy!

[gitmo]

Hey, this is what America voted for. It’s gonna get worse. Like Nazi Germany and the post WW2 Soviet Union.

[Carriage Hill]

Won’t these be available thru FR’s search function?

[who knows what evil?]

A lot of Americans are right there with you. Count me as one.

Two more under my roof. I could spit nails at these black-hearted self-serving bastards erecting these barriers.

[madison10]

Sooo...what’s John McCain doing about this? or John F’n Kerry?

[MagUSNRET]

I’m not going to takt the chance. In all probability, Obammys minions will do all they can to scrub any of this from the internet!

[houeto]

Thank you for your service Sir. I feel honored to be able to call you a FRiend here. Thank you for your post as well. I had my wife stop her silly Facebook crap long enough to read it. She was quite moved. Thanks again DJ Taylor.
