Anyone Else Losing Their Sense Of Security?

President Obama is drawing praise from the Taliban for his decision to shut down the prison for terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Now they are asking for a few more favors such as withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan as well as stop defending Israel against Islamic interests.

I’m all for the humane treatment of all human being because I believe that God did create all men equal. Changes definitely needed to be made at the prison but I’m not sure that releasing some of the terrorist while bringing others to American soil is the way to go and I certainly think that receiving accolades from the enemy is a dangerous precedent.

As if that wasn’t enough I want to remind you of this video regarding Obama’s plan to cut America’s defenses.



Red Country posted a great commentary on this video a few months ago but to add to the point already made about watering down our defenses against nuclear attack consider the following two points. North Korea is getting ready to test a long range missile that would be capable of reaching the U.S. by going into outer space. It is no secret that Iran is building their nuclear capabilities and now has successfully launched a satellite in orbit. Yeah, I know that it’s just a satellite but now they are looking to increase the ability of their satellite-carrier rockets to “carry more weight". Hmmmm, I guess Reagan wasn’t crazy for having the idea of a space oriented missile defense system after all.

Please don’t tell me that we are going to turn the defense of this great nation over to arrogance. Please don’t tell me that our safety is going away because of stubbornness and political party bias. With all the useless and unnecessary spending in Obama’s economic stimulus package to cover hidden agendas don’t tell me that we are going to strip America’s defenses under the hypocrisy of wasted money.

At the end of the day I want to feel safe no matter who our president is. I don’t want to read that the enemy is giving us a pat on the back and then saying, “if you really want to be our friends here’s what we need you to do…” I want to know that if a hostile or unstable nation is developing or has already reached nuclear weapons with the capacity reaching the United States then our leadership is doing everything in their power to make sure that we are defended against those weapons and not scrapping programs because the wrong political party came up with the idea. Write your congressman, call your representatives and tell them that you want to know that America’s safety is secure under their leadership.
