As we stand confused after the latest Iran Hostage Crisis looking in vain for the testicles of Great Britain we should get a view of exactly where we stand in what history will certainly know as the greatest of World Wars.  We are losing badly.  Spain and France are gone, Italy, Germany and Britain in freefall, and Latin America is beginning to atrophy. Robert Hunter, former ambassador to NATO said it best on Glenn Beck’s television show…"humiliation is how you choose to see it”…what?  No, Robert, humiliation is how everybody else sees it.  This is a former AMBASSADOR who is supposed to have some grasp of international relations.  Instead we are seeing the suicidal insanity of “conflict resolution” being taught to our children on nearly every college campus in America.  This is why we are losing.  Yes, we must get real and see that we are losing this war because of an enemy we just cannot bring ourselves to truly confront.  An enemy within so well defended by the Orwellian schizophrenic mental block of political correctness that to even question motives brings ruinous consequences to career and credibility.  Yes, those socialists that we thought would be cute to observe intellectually chasing their tails have reasserted themselves because they think the fascists we are struggling against will be trustworthy allies in their quest for Marxist Nirvana.

            No one wants to tell their aging parents that they are too old to drive, or explain to their “slow” friend that M&M’s are not an effective substitute for money.  But the baby boomer socialists of our country need a sit down.  We know they are American citizens; they have every right to speak and have an opinion.  But my Labrador’s opinion of dead rabbits should not make me want to endorse road kill as his daily meal just to spare his feelings.  If socialists understood economics they would not be socialists, and if socialists understood foreign affairs they would not be advising us to simply acquiesce to our enemies.  We must understand that socialism sees only one goal in the elimination of private property to make life “fair” and create the baby boomer hippie fantasyland of a USSR that works “this time” without the piles of bodies being bulldozed into mass graves.  Anyone who opposes America must oppose capitalism and therefore must be allies to the American left.  This is all they see in Iran, Venezuela or any entity that speaks against the United States.  They see a chance to create the great Chuck E. Cheese’s paradise of economic equality, and any ally is cool, man.  These are the bureaucrats, college professors and apparently ambassadors of all the Western nations we have to thank for portraying us to the world as urinating on ourselves every time we are challenged in geopolitics.  They (see Jimmy Carter) fawn over murderers who utter leftist catch phrases that remind them of when they were young and “fightin’ the man”.  They congratulate each other on how smart they are and then use that as proof that they are always right and the rest of us are stupid rednecks.  We rednecks must get past the wonderment of how these self important idiots find their way to work each day and explain to them some facts about the social interaction of humans.

Lesson One

Nations exist because groups of people occupy the same physical space on the planet and therefore supposedly share the same economic and idealistic interests, primarily survival.  That means that declaring that we are all citizens of the world does not make it so in the minds of those that want us all dead.  This speaks to the obligation of citizens within a nation to keep in mind the compact they have with other citizens to honor the survival of the culture and ideals of the group.  That is why we are divided into “countries”, these commonalities do matter in the assurance that we are raising our children into an environment that the group has agreed upon (we call it the Constitution).  Other nations do it as well, check it out.  A good clue would be the lines we draw on maps.  Typically there is a history, good or bad, behind each of those lines, and all of those lines cannot be removed with one Star Trek fell swoop without disastrous consequences. 

Lesson Two

Islamic Fascists are laughing at you.  You ignore the good Muslim people who fled these countries hoping to be accepted into free societies while you preach understanding of those that violate every ideal you claim to stand for.  You are in bed with those that torture and kill homosexuals, religious minorities, and women who dare to behave as people.  Osama Bin Laden himself claimed that your blind hatred of capitalism would push you to treason.

Lesson Three

“To me, 'bipartisan foreign policy' means a mutual effort, under our indispensable, two-party system, to unite our official voice at the water's edge so that America speaks with one voice to those who would divide and conquer us and the free world." Arthur Vandenberg (Michigan Senator, late 1940’s)

If you are willing to violate the “water’s edge” are you not calling for civil war in your own country?  Have you even stopped to think of the consequences of this arrogance?  Is yet another attempt at working socialism really worth all of this? 

One step at a time, man.
