I'm continually amazed at how little faith many Freepers seem to have in America and its people.
We're CRUSHING our enemies abroad. Sure, they may be getting some supportive editorials and soundbites from foreign media in their "asymmetric" warfare, but in a war of words vs. bullets, the bullets tend to win.
At home, the idiots like Ward Chumphill (I cannot bring myself to link the greatest Englishman's name with him), Michael Moore, etc. -- are IRRELEVANT. The bulk of the American people know nothing about Ward C. and don't give a damn what Susan Sarandon says this week.
Our enemies at home and abroad are so shrill and fanatical because their backs are against the wall and they see a star-spangled juggernaut bearing down on them with no escape. They are the last desperate howls of dying ideologies, not cries of triumph.
Sure, the United States of America as we know it won't exist forever. But to brood over defeat when we bestride the world as a colossus, unchallenged to an almost unprecendented degree -- that shows a lack of faith and self-confidence. We're _Americans_, remember? Do you really think Michael Moore and Osama bin Laden can defeat us where George III, Jeff Davis and Robert E. Lee, Kaiser Wilhelm, Hitler, Stalin and Brezhnev failed? Our enemies today are little crawling vermin compared to the monsters of the past.
Our cry should not be "O Woe is us!" but "Onward to VICTORY!"
Amen...and to that might I add "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance".
In one respect you are correct. Our internal enemies, the liberals in government, academia, the media, and their RINO and neo-con comrades, are like termites. It is foolish to under-estimate the damage they are doing to our political, economic, and social foundations.
What victory? Our politicians are traitors, liars and idiots. We have millions upon millions of illegals coming into America every year who hate our guts while sucking us dry to pay for their needs.
You are either blind as a bat or stupid - or both. We don't want America to fall - but our politicians do. So what joy can you find in that? What victory do you see in America becoming a balkanized state? Mexicans own the West, Muslims own Ohio and Michigan, and Cubans own Florida. Wow, what a victory for the average American citizen.
I agree with you 90% of the way but the problem isn't external enemies. It is the internal cancer from within that is threatening us. The greatest powers fail from the inside out.
