Defending America

Lilly Nash
This was written for all who truly believe we had no business going to Iraq, and shouldn't stay the course. I pray the following may enlighten you, and bring you closer to a better level of understanding, as to Who, What, When, Where, and WHY.

The United States Military, has every right to defend this country, in the manner in which we did, and should have done something, well before 911. Many have forgotten, that terrorists tried to take down the Twin Towers, during President Clinton's Administration. The Saudi authorities had Osama and wanted to detain him, and President Clinton said Osama wasn't a threat. On 911, we were attacked again, by Osama's design, and this time it succeeded, as well as made an in your face statement, by bombing the Pentagon.

I remember the first attack. In a few days, it was yesterday's news. Our Commander in Chief, did nothing, other than a bomb or two, in a deserted area, which was meant more as a distraction against a public relations problem about to surface, instead of on the source of the terrorist training camps and gathering places, which intelligence had given him. Nor did he do anything to prevent this from happening again; in fact; he opened our border doors wider. Actually, by opening our borders, and relaxing the immigration and Visa regulations, he set this country up for that disastrous day.

Yet, is President Clinton to blame? I think not. Neither is President Bush. The terrorists are the ones to blame. They are the ones who should be held accountable to the fullest extent in time of war. They do not deserve to be treated nicely, or with compassion and understanding. They all deserve a quick and painless death. They do not belong among society, in any part of the world.

Those who believe otherwise should question their loyalty to their ancestors and this country, that you have turned your back on. Shame on you for dishonoring the country kept safe by its soldier's blood while fighting for the liberties of ours and oppressed nations. Maybe you should go live in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan for a while, and see for yourself. You'll be glad the USA is present, and guess what, they would protect you, too, regardless.

On 911, 2001 many lives were destroyed, not to mention the economic and social impact it had on us all. It affected us all in more ways than realized. Many eyes were opened.

It is the current administration that will get many of us killed. It is the path of the current administration that will lead this country into socialism and social disorder "One Community," under "One Controlling Government?" Everyone should ask themselves the following questions:

Do you want to be told what you can and cannot do with the money you earn?
Do you want to be told what you can and cannot do for a living?
Do you want your company to be told what to pay whom, and who can work there?
Do you need to be told how to spend your money?
Do you want to live in a society where the unemployed, but able to work, live off the government funded by all the TAXPAYERS, or a society where the government stays out of your way and does not limit your capabilities, but honors the traditions this country was founded upon?

At least President Bush was loyal to this country and stood up and defended our freedoms and safety, and keept the fight where the terrorist hot bed is, and not on our shores. He enforced changes in the immigration policies, which has cut down on the infiltration of those that intend to rid the world of all Infidels, (all of us that are not Muslim), and take control.

I wish all of you who aren't really privy to what we have done in Iraq, Afghanistan and several other Middle Eastern country's that are funding and harboring the Muslim extremists and terrorist cells, would talk to an honorably discharged or honorably serving serviceman. Talk to those who have been in Country, securing the peoples freedom and safety from oppression.

If you could, speak to any member of The National Coalition Forces Operation Iraqi Freedom, I'd suggest you ask them, as well as the people of and in Iraq.

The soldiers will tell you, no, they don't want to be there, but they need to be, they aren't there to die, but if they do, they do so for their country. They will point out that they have made a huge difference in the quality of life for all, except the terrorists. Innocents were warned of possible danger so they could leave and when structures were damaged they were rebuilt. Every innocent was monetarily compensated, their conditions restored and many new structures built, that we had nothing to do with the destruction of. We've built schools, medical facilities, water treatment plants and power generating stations, for a better quality of life. Many do not have dirt floors now, because of us.

The Iraqi's would say thank you, for giving them a chance to evolve into a free and prosperous society, instead of living in fear, terror, and abuse of power.

Initially, many would not cooperate with the US, because they were afraid what would happen when we left, not Iraq, but the community or village they were there to secure. They are dealing with an entity, that spares no one, has no morals or boundaries. They intimidate the people by roasting a child, and inviting the parents to dinner. They rape and sexually torture the wives, and children of both sexes, in front of the spouse and grandparents.

They torture, in the real sense of the word, not the word that has been used to define interrogation tactics. Insurgents come into their homes and take over, to crash as long as they deem necessary, eat their food, use their supplies, beat and rape and pillage for fun, steal their money and all valuables, and leave with everything they may need and the occupants destroyed and fearful. They do this because it works; it ensures their cooperation and silence. When time is an issue to get cooperation, they simply behead a family member, forcing all to witness.

Before Operation Iraqi freedom, They had no recourse, or anyone to help them help themselves and fight for their peaceful and prosperous existence. That is the lifestyle these people have suffered for hundreds of years. You do not reshape or evolve any society over night. It takes time, years . . .

Compare our time in Iraq and human losses during this war, from 2001 to date, to W.W.II. Even WWII, didn't just happen overnight, it was fueled by The Phony War. In 1939, Germany Invaded Poland. France and England declared war on Germany, and by 1940, Japan and Germany aligned, and Pearl Harbor was attacked, in 1941.

Do you know how many died on the first day of Pearl Harbor? Close to 3,000 American Soldiers.
Is anyone complaining about having troops in Germany or Japan? To this day, we have bases there and have since 1943. Why have we been a present there for over 60 years? Because we do not trust them, we need to be there, as much as we need to continue to show a clear presence in the Middle East, especially Iraq.

We have been in Afghanistan, for some time now. A good friend of mine was sent there in 2005, for 15 months to train troops. President Bush wanted more troops deployed to Afghanistan, based on the Intel and the recommendation of General Petraeus and others, however, from 2006 to 2008, Congress refused to fund any more operations in Afghanistan. Suddenly, they are all for it, now that our current President has mentioned going there. If congress would have been as agreeable 3 years ago, we may be withdrawing from Afghanistan, now, instead of beefing up our presence there.

I don't blame liberal attitudes, I blame the media and the politicians who have misled their followers, all citizens of the USA, and have been less than honest as far as the oppression the people were suffering from, nor have they mentioned all of the mass graves our soldiers discovered as a result of the Al Qaeda Training ground/Insurgent/extremist, hot bed of terrorists also known as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nor have they shared the progress we have made in assisting and training the Iraq Military and citizens to defend themselves. But more importantly, we aren't shown the difference we have made for all of their peace seeking citizens. The Media has shaped the minds of many, just as our school systems have turned our youth into polished products of their agenda, which is a Socialistic society, rather than a society based on freedom from government, freedom from oppression and the constitutional right to capitalism.

If we don't stand firm and stay the course, by all means necessary, and unite as ONE Nation, supporting our military and ourselves against these new changes, there will be unprecedented changes that will adversely affect The United States, her reputation and all her people.

Until you have "Bled and sweat, and walked through the craziness" or have listened to someone who has, you do not know what you are talking about. If you have, then you know all too well the reason we needed to do what we did. If you have not spoken to those who were or are there, in theater, that endured combat, and were exposed to the horrors and atrocities they all have suffered, I suggest you honor those who got your back and educate yourself, with the facts. Then and only then do you have the information needed to form an educated opinion. Short of that it is a meaningless rant.

I believe all American Citizens have the right to free speech, to bear arms and to choose their religious and political beliefs. As long as their beliefs and or actions harm no one or infringe on anyone's basic rights as written in the US Constitution. We The People, that support and fund the day to day operations on this country, have the right to privacy, and what we do in our private lives is no one's business unless we make it their business.

That said, it is my belief, the representatives and entities, that taxpayers pay to govern our country, shape minds, and carry out our justice system, should be held to a higher standard, ethically, morally, and should not have the same rights to privacy. What elected officials and everyone that is paid out of our tax dollars to serve, protect or teach us, do in their private lives, is our business.

Those who choose not to see the reality of the New America that is being created, are like sheep that have been unwillingly or willingly brainwashed. They choose a belief system based on denial and false information and truly have no idea of the meaning of compassion, and do not care about what you will face, if we turn our back. Those who put our current president in office, will not be praising "The One Man" that systematically and with careful planning, was groomed to strip this country of its fundamental principals, rights, freedoms and morals. They (republicans, democrats and undeclared, who voted for our current president) should have looked a little closer at the background and intent of the current President. So many were in awe of his charismatic, melodic tone, they failed to really listen to his carefully chosen words.

I am one, that not only watched every speech, and the entire DNC and RNC and every commercial that was politically motivated since the campaign really began, which was seemingly much earlier than in recent times. During the DNC, I listened to the sweet, endearing story of how the current President and his wife met. He was just out of law school, and accepted an internship. She was essentially his boss, mentor, and according to him, not interested in him, at first. Soon thereafter, they got together and have been together since. It may have sounded romantic to you, but to me, I see it as an ethical violation of corporate and company policy. An immoral situation glorified into being acceptable.

We heard a little about his mother, but nothing of his father or brother, or his Aunt. If they are both so well to do, why do his brother and Aunt live in such poverty? If they are so quick to spread the wealth, why haven't they? Seems to me, they want to keep their wealth in tact, and spread ours around, and take the credit.

I assure you, they were active members of Reverend Wrights Extreme Religious Sect (can't call it their "former Church," because no respectable "church" preaches the doctrine Reverend Wright preaches). Both were long term members and must have donated a sizable sum over the years. They did not quit going because they wanted to, or because they see the error of the teachings, they were told to quit going, because it didn't look good to the general populace. So they don't go there anymore, that doesn't erase the years of following that doctrine. That doesn't mean they quit contributing, anonymously, of course.

I am really surprised they didn't think about this 10 years ago, when he was being polished for 2008. Well, I guess when you are up to no good you can't cover all the bases. The truth is always revealed. Clever liars, lie so well, and eventually they start to believe their lies, but somehow, some way, by the grace of God, the truth is always revealed.

I won't dabble into Michelle Obama's sketchy organizations, prior to the presidential campaign. I will say her Anti-White speeches stopped in a rather timely fashion. They are still available on the information highway, for now, but soon, they will find them all, and all they find are being visibly removed, because they are getting hits and it doesn't enhance or glorify her image to any race, and is said to offend many Blacks.

The 2009 Summit? Here is my take on a few items that should interest many. I for one, am embarrassed at their conduct as representatives of the country where the PEOPLE pay his salary and the PEOPLE pay him to represent them in a manner ALL should be able to respect, regardless of political party. I am not talking about the way Michelle dresses. So she thinks she looks like an American Fashionista, and that may be a popular belief, but she carries herself, and speaks in a very masculine and aggressive manner. She hasn't the style, manners, grace, or class that former First Lady Laura Bush oozed, without effort.

Yet, I am not judging the current President or his wife, by their "covers." I am basing my beliefs on their actions, I see what lies beneath, and it isn't something any honorable citizen can respect.

The current President and his wife are both well versed, well educated, and know the law as well as the system, here and abroad. Consider this, really carefully, and believe this, because what I said is another fact. They are both highly educated. Now ask yourself:

Why would he give the Queen of England an Ipod?
Why would our First Lady, HUG the Queen?????
Why did our president Bow to another?
Do you really believe these were all innocent mistakes?

No one ever touches the Queen in that manner. The President did not drop something, it is as clear as the sun will rise tomorrow morning. Look at the footage filmed by the camera men on the left. CBS, NBC, and ABC only showed a quick snippet that blocked the full view of his blatant disrespect. Do you really believe they are naive to the rules and conduct expected in other countries?

Do you not think they attended the briefing on the rules of etiquette, which every other President of the United States has had the respect to follow?

It is explained very simply. They did it because they could. Another slick, in your face way to disrespect and rebel against what is proper and what is not. They know no boundaries.

I have listened very carefully to every speech aired, to include all the summit talks and the "Town Halls" across Europe. Town Hall, hmmm . . .interesting concept, wonder where he got it, oh, I remember, from the McCain campaign.

Why did our current president, criticize President Bush during the Summit and every Town Hall forum during his European tour? No other U.S. president has been critical of his predecessor during Summit talks.

He didn't answer any of the questions he was asked by any of the reporters that were, as he called them, "Foreigners." (Um . . .he is in their country, and calls them foreigners?) He embarrassed a female correspondent a few times, asked her if she was in love with her president, asked if he got his policy's from her . . . the room grew silent, after being uncouth, he laughed it off as a joke, insulted another, totally and purposely brushed them off. No one was laughing. He wasn't so well spoken as in his controlled environment here in the USA, and defended his actions with the I'm sick excuse. He openly refused to answer tough questions. I will say he did answer all the questions from the American Reporter Plants.

Another reporter asked if the trillion-dollar stimulus and budget proposed would turn the US economy around. The President of the United States said, he doesn't know if it will work or not. We will all just have to wait and see. Right now, everyone reading this, should be saying, "Say what? Excuse me???

I have to question that Trillion-dollar price tag, on a maybe. Where is the logic in that? Why is that OK, with so many? Shouldn't we implement and pay for a plan a plan that will work? They exist, and cost a lot less and will create more jobs, and we do not need to do anything but moderately use our Country's own, resources?

Just consider the money that is designated for alternative energy sources such as wind and biological (Algae) energy technologies. This may sound all mother earth loving, and cool, and better for all, but in reality, it will cut our food supply, as well as land designated for agriculture. It will cut jobs, more than create jobs and we still need oil to operate equipment for harvesting, manufacturing, and transportation. How well will we be able to function, if we have to solely depend on the weather and computers?

We have so much oil and coal in reserve, that would not only remove the use of trillion to billion, but would also put this country on a self sustaining, debt free path, that all will benefit from, there by enriching the quality of life for every household.

Why are some backing a possibility, with trillions of OUR money? Most are sources we will not be able to utilize for years to come. It is not the government's money we are talking about budgeting properly, to strengthen our nation, not weaken it or put its people at great risk, in many ways. Every penny spent, comes directly from the taxpayers. The money borrowed, has to be paid back with interest.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE NEW AMERICA THAT IS BEING CREATED BY OUR ADMINISTRATION.
