An Open Letter To Retired General and Former Secretary of State Collin Powell. A man whose service to our nation I have always greatly admired.
Mr. Powell, General Sir, Who are you to call yourself a Republican when you endorsed Barrack Obama. RINO you are, Republican In Name Only. No right minded republican would vote for Obama, in my opinion you are not republican at all. Where is my nurf football, I need something to toss at the screen when my fox news puts your latest comment on there. You endorse Obama and then turn around and want to act like a GOPer. Your a democrat posing as a republican. You made your choice. You and Senator Specter. I see right through your ruse. It's called divide and conquer.
Well General, you've got you're twelve trillion dollar deficit. How prophetic. Pontificator General Sir. May God Bless You General Powell, But you are no Republican. Who do you think you are fooling ! Apparently some. It is really quite remarkable that you, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a former Secretary of State, and advisor to at least four presidents would have endorsed someone with as little experience as then Senator Obama over John McCain. Well, I was appalled then, but hay endorse who you want to. But why should we listen to you now. Go fishing General. Do what ever Generals, few of which are your stature do.
I can't keep up with this guy, There is so much stuff on a weekly basis that comes out on the current administration that its near impossible to keep up with.
Carter's protege Barrack Hussein Obama the forty fourth President of the United States is officially weakening the United States on the World Stage one day at a time. I think maybe he'd dip the flag too if carrying "Old Glory" into the opening ceremony at the Olympics when passing in review of the host country's head of state. I wouldn't put it past him. This is an embarrassment. If this doesn't piss off anyone who claims to be a red blooded American, then they just don't care.
Barack Obama is our President. When he was inaugurated I hoped for the best, that he would prove me wrong of my impressions of what his Presidency would be like. I still do. So far he hasn't. Unfortunately it may be worse than I could have imagined. I believe that the American electorate has made a terrible mistake. I can understand why so many voted the way they did. Job loses, and a relatively bad final two years of the former administration. A historic election, an epic event in the history of this land. Now what ?? Have liberal fascists hijacked the Office of President of The United States ? I hope not. I hope I'm wrong.
Hope, a simple word that I have now used three times. Change, I think that's a word that became a theme, actually Hope and Change were themes in Senator Obama's campaign to become President. It worked. But, Hope for what? Change to what ? Now that he is President, what has changed ? We no longer are fighting a war on terror, we are engaged in "Ongoing Contingency Operations"(OCO), what an insult to our military. China, and Russia are committing themselves to expanding their military capabilities both conventional and otherwise. According to theUPI the two former communist rivals recently completed their first joint military training exercise. The administration has sent overtures to Iran, and if I'm not mistaken Syria; both supporters of Hezbollah. Two nations that are sworn enemies of one of our closest allies, Israel, as well as state sponsors of terrorism. The possibility of a one world currency.
A Treasury Secretary that was a Tax Cheat. Have "the nuts taken over the nut house" ? Then there is the Budget. The President is pushing forward a massive spending fiasco that will be greater than the combined budgets of all administrations from George Washington to George W Bush. Nearly ten trillion dollars in ten years. Check Card, Cap and Trade, Nationalized Health Care. Go figure.
Meanwhile we are so preoccupied with bad economic news, dis- informed by a politically biased media, a government bureaucracy that is so vast there is no way of keeping up with all the policy changes through executive orders. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. I never thought I would be fearful of the future, but I am. I have always thought of Thomas Jefferson's words such as those quoted previously (below) as from someone wanting to create a better world than the one they had previously known. But also as a warning to future generations. Now those words are bordering on prophetic. Could it happen here. Has it already happened here. The one that worries me most is Tyranny.
Is our precious Constitution on life support ? Do enough people care ? Or are we so caught up in worldly distractions to notice the surreptitious transformation that is taking place. Is this just my illusion, coupled with post election sour grapes conjuring up a conspiracy theory.
I hope so, but I think not.
When a former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and history professor uses the "D" word in describing where this administration is orienting, that worries me.
Big Time ! D is for dictatorship. Either Time or Newsweek, I think it was Time had Obama portrayed on the cover in the likeness of FDR. He ain't no FDR !
I think Albert Einstein said "we all sit on the shoulders of a giant (Sir Issac Newton).
Hank Williams Jr. wrote a song in which the lyrics contained the phrase " Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here". I wish Jefferson were available to straighten things out up in Washington. Mr Jefferson I wish you were here !
Some quotes from Thomas Jefferson:
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give it to those who would not"
"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.....The course of history shows that as government grows, liberty decreases."
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort , to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
"Most bad government has grown out of too much government."
"When people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
