Soap Box

President Obama recently addressed the graduating class of the United States Coast Guard and his major emphasis was not on the exponential growth of ISIS, the reality of home grown terrorists, the piracy and drug trade that plagues our high seas, nor even the increasing role of the Coast Guard in keeping our nation safe from the myriad of seaborne dangers they will face in the coming years.

No sir, not our politically correct, thin skinned, petulant, attention-averting president. He used the opportunity to divert attention from the very real and immediate problems in the world and basically told the class that climate change would hence forth be the major enemy and that it would affect the political actions and military conflicts from now on.

You would think that there are a few things happening in the world that a Commander in Chief would be a little more concerned about than a subject that has bantered about for a century vacillating between global warming and global freezing, with dire predictions of floods that would permanently flood the streets of Manhattan and bring on another dust bowl era, things that have not happened, though they were forecast years ago.

You'd think that the president would warn the class about the almost certain eventuality of the attempted seaborne smuggling of fissionable material into America.

You would think he would talk about North Korea's rapid development of intercontinental missiles capable of reaching America armed with multiple nuclear war heads.

You would think he would sound the alarm about the rapid growth, the technological expertise and the rabid dedication of ISIS and the threat they pose to America on American soil.

He might also mention that some time in the next decade or so, partially due to his bend over backwards efforts, Iran will have a nuclear device and that a nuclear arms race is already beginning in the Middle East as our allies realize the reality that America is no longer willing to stand up to anything or anybody anymore.

He could also mention that since he has given Vladimir Putin, an evil would be dictator at best and a psychotic maniac at worst, a free hand to do whatever he pleases, there is a very real possibility that the cold war and even colder relationships with Russia will soon be on the horizon, with all the implications that purports.

He could visit the fact that China has its eyes on territory they have long coveted and that, given the current state of respect and fear for America, could well decide to take them militarily before the end of Obama�s term, lest our next president has the gonads to face them down.

He might also say that the "no man left behind" policy has been shot all to hell in Benghazi and that should they somehow be captured in conflict they are on they're own unless we can come up with more world class terrorist scumbags to trade for them.

He could explain his reason for firing so many battle hardened and highly experienced military officers or why he allowed General David Petraeus to be disgraced while allowing Hillary Clinton to carry on government business on a private web email account and Eric Holder to get away with placing guns in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

Is climate change really the biggest threat America faces today?

The truth is that the earth has not warmed in many years and that if it does or don't it is not in the purvey of human beings to change it. That is controlled by the God who created it to start with.

America is not even close to being the major polluter on the planet, that distinction is held by China, India, Russia and others and no amount of ecological awareness and compliance by the USA is going to change the overall problem.

The truth about climate change is that its not about climate change at all but about the massing of power, the kind of power the world has never known, the kind of power that controls health care, food supply, energy and even down what we say and think and who we vote for.

If America, the last human hope of freedom on earth, takes this path and goes all in on climate change as president Obama wants us to, America will not become the Socialist utopia he promises, but a scared and timid totally controlled nation, giving up practically all personal freedoms for the "good of the whole" and living under the thumb of an oppressive central global government.

Hats off to the United States Coast Guard Class of 2015.

Hope you didn't swallow all that crap.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem

God Bless America
