I watched Barak Obama’s Berlin Speech. It did not take long to realize that the person speaking was not speaking for me.I am a citizen of the United States and always have been. I am proud of the people of the United States who lived and worked and fought before I came along, and I love what they accomplished. I deplore the fact that the leadership and the judges committed to one of our political parties would vilify and tear apart the accomplishments of those earlier great people.
I am not a citizen of the world! I am not a global citizen, no matter what bozos who seem to have been born on a different planet want us to believe. I am not one with Europe because I do not believe in all that Europe is today.
The European Union is a sham, almost as bad as the United Nations, and even now is trying to remake itself as the dictator of Europe. Europe does not represent our values, as far as I am concerned. When you will not fight when fighting is absolutely necessary, even to help an ally that has protected you for decades, you are not being a friend. When to gain trade agreements, you make arrangements with the Middle Eastern nations to always take their side in disputes with your great friend and protector, The United States, that is not only not being a friend, that type of action is being adversarial.
When you make financial arrangements with an Iraqi dictator to stymie the United States’ efforts to enforce sanctions, and then try to sabotage American efforts to gain support from their “friends” for a war that was considered necessary, those actions are not the actions of friends. When you consider the hatred that the European leadership shows for the tiny, legitimate country of Israel, a country who has tried to share peace with everyone, then those leaders do not belong in the presence of great nations. No, I am not one with Europe.
I am not one with the Middle East. Middle Eastern nations have been at war with the United States even before we had a Constitution. Because of their belligerence against us from the beginning, a new nation with no history of enmity toward them, we had to invent the U.S. Navy to protect ourselves. In one way or another, Middle Eastern nations have not stopped their belligerence towards us, shaking hands with one hand while ready to plunge the dagger with the other. No, I am not a citizen that accepts the Middle East as part of my community of nations.
When an American political party forgets all of the above and looks forward only to relinquishing American sovereignty under a United Nations whose only watchwords appears to be “Hide the corruption” and “Don’t do anything important”, then that party to me does not represent the values of the United States.
The United States, despite the opinions of a past president (Carter)
and an Illinois Senator, nominee of the no-values party, has nothing at all for which to apologize to Europe or anyone else. If we are stronger, richer, and more independent than any other country, it is not because we did something wrong; it is because, unlike other nations, WE DID IT RIGHT!
And, Mr. and Mrs. Hypocrite Media, if we begin to pursue an idea and that idea is at odds with what Europe thinks, then I would put my money on our being right and Europe being wrong. Therefore, what Europe thinks or does should never have any bearing on what we should do. In its entire history, Europe has not been right very often. This country did not establish its greatness by being wrong!
No, the recent speech by a greenhorn Illinois senator (who may or not be eligible for the office he demands) does not reflect my views and shows me how ill-informed the voters of the no-value party are. Can Senator McCain win by default?
