Political, Apethy and Deceit

 DB Reese

I’ve been hanging back more than I should, just kind of been waiting to see where I thought that things would head off to. I’ve actually wrote some other articles but decided against posting them. Politics, damn isn’t it a blast?

You get to see some dirty laundry aired from the outgoing administration as well as the candidates- supposedly. It seems that going to war in two different countries at the same time was a bad thing if you’re trying to track down one man on the planet that doesn’t wan to be found. Let’s talk about that for a second. There is a phrase that pretty much says “for the greater good”. Is it the greater good of America to track down a thug, giving him “street credit” and a stage on which he can continue to perpetuate his ideological insane beliefs? Or was it in the greater good to try and fix the system of which he was a product of? I know, I know- some of you are saying we didn’t go to war to try and fix anything. We went to war for avenging our Sept 11^th attack and to try and find WMDs. Trillions of dollars and thousands of ideologs from the region dead later, what do you think? Is it avenged yet?

The best thing about our society, that just really pisses liberals off, is the ability to move forward. We have the ability when we think for ourselves to think above the level of politicians and the political reasons that they try to continually screw us over. “America First” should be our motto. Politicians in the international realm remind me of fake charity. Ah look at all the helpless people that we need to save. Having said that, there is a point when charity turns into an intentional oppressive act. “Keeping the man down” If a man has a fishing pole but you are constantly giving him fish is he really going to go fishing? We have set both countries up for success, if they chose to sit on their asses and not take control over their crap then I say, oh well we tried to help them, they were just to stupid to want to have it fixed. And its not that they’re to stupid, but its hard work that needs to be done by them and their just not up for doing the work.

The candidates made it a point to do a little camera thing together for “honoring” 9/11. Once again using the memory of what happened on that stunningly horrific day to gain favor with potentially stupid voters who would be influenced by such a contrite act. It really is disgusting, and if nothing else it spotlights, for me, the type of character these two actually have and the lengths that they will go to get elected.

So here we are 7 years later and where are we on the war front in both Iraq and Afghanistan? We have ran our course as far as the fight will let us without flagrantly ignoring basic human decency. We have beat the crap out of everyone who decided that would try and take a swing. We have helped the people get their own governments in and yet instead of sprinting forward they are standing around mulling over the idea of freedom of choice. They are standing around with their collectives hands still out waiting for manna to miraculously fall into their pockets. Corruption in man has infiltrated their ranks in government and put in jeopardy the progress of these two nations. And, continues to remain in place because of the political correctness of not being allowed to call them on it without it being considered “insulting” the entire Muslim community. God forbid we insult a Muslim. But hey, let’s stick around and watch it and do nothing about because it’s not our place to make unrealistic demands of pride in one’s self honor.

And there we are back to honor; this conversation has gone in a circle. Let’s close the loop. It was honorable, in my opinion for the Bush Administration to come in and say The American people deserve and expect us to act, after 9/11. It was even more honorable to try and clean up the streets, educate, feed, and rebuild – no not rebuild that’s not accurate, to build, nations that were and are and will remain third and forth world until they put themselves in check and demand from there own people what they are trying to demand of us, much in the same way we need to demand, because we deserve it, honesty and integrity in our own elected or soon to be elected officials. It is the best way to honor those who have fallen in and for America.
