America Has Lost Conrol Over Her Destiny

This is a sobering thought, though it is probably not much of a surprise.

America lacks the naval power to defend traditional allies in the Pacific. While our navy has continued to shrink since the Reagan-era buildup, China continues to funnel its vast economic resources into its military. The resulting shift in the balance of power cannot surprise anyone: China seeks world domination, while we follow a course of appeasement unto irrelevance.

Traditional allies Japan and South Korea will have to shoulder the burden for their own defense, and rightly so. While our economy struggles through a deepening recession, they have enjoyed trade surpluses and expanding GDPs.

Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have yielded questionable results given their huge price tags. While these may have been necessary expenditures to hold terror at bay, they have not eliminated the threat of advancing Islamic fundamentalism. Together with liberalism and all of its goofy tenets (e.g. the green movement, policies that encourage massive illegal immigration, and the banishment of God from public venues in the name of tolerance, to name just three), America's hands are sufficiently tied so as to be powerless to fight the enemy within, leaving us in no position for battle against an external foe.

We should expect little else as long as we import more than we export. The dollars, as in the clear case of Saudi Arabia's dizzying petrodollars, are invested back into America and into the pockets of our own lawmakers who opt not to break the cycle. And why should they? They have no personal recession as the rest of us do.

By abandoning the nation of Israel, we are reaping our just rewards. The co-conspirators of freedom, capitalism, and appeasement soon will take down the greatest nation that ever was, Reagan's great shining city on the hill.

Happy Presidents Day.
