Soap Box

In a time when it's as evident as the nose on your face that Russia has a leader who is every bit as ambitious, dangerous and possibly even slightly demented as any hard line communist butcher who ever ruled over the old Soviet empire, they are up to their old tricks of violating American air space with their war planes and operating their submarines just off our coast for no other reason than to check our resolve as to how far we are willing to let them go.

At a time when ISIS is recruiting every amateur malcontent pseudo Islamic terrorist they can get their hands on and have declared their intent to destroy most of the Western World�

In an era when China threatens to overtake America in the development of military hardware... 

At a time when the narco mobs are becoming so big in Mexico they literally have the potential to rival the Mexican government, when our borders are all but nonexistent and we have no idea who even crosses them every day, when domestic terrorism is on the rise and the planet is one dirty nuclear explosion away from global conflict, Barack Hussein Obama, whose past dealings in the arena of war and the security of the nation is somewhat less than sterling, has taken it upon himself to reduce our standing army by forty-thousand troops.

I have always tried to fight shy of the school of thought so prevalent amongst so many Americans, that it is Obama's intention to bring America to her knees, to reduce it to the status of lesser nations, let it get its comeuppance for having the audacity of being the greatest nation the world has ever known.

I just could not imagine anybody who could make it to the Oval Office being able to mask those kinds of feelings well enough to go through debates and elections and actually succeeding; that the media, as bent out of shape to the left as it is, and the Congress, as gonad-less as they are, would not find some abstruse connection, some arcane affiliation, some missing piece of the puzzle that would give such a person's foul intentions away.

And to be fair, I think the indications were there but political expediency on the Democrat's side and a fear of appearing to oppose America's first legitimate black presidential candidate on the Republican side and downright hero worship on the media's part, precluded any deep digging or taking any suspicions, no matter how mysterious, to the limit.

I have had to rethink my position.

Obama is on his way to decimating the greatest military organization on the planet. He has already fired much of the cream of the officers corps, letting go of hundreds of our most experienced, battle-hardened combat leaders and now he's about to gut the rank and file, the soldiers, the grunts, the mainstay of any army. 

I have stated many times, that, as one who remembers Pearl Harbor and the dark days of the World War II that only two things protect America, the grace of Almighty God and the United States military. It was that way in 1941 and it�s that way in 2015, Barack Obama notwithstanding.

As it was evident what was going to happen in Iraq when Obama went against the advice of experienced military experts and refused to leave a residual force in, it is evident what is going to happen in America after Obama has finished decimating our military.

The day will come, and quickly, when America will be forced to play catch up with the major powers of the world who are rapidly building their military capabilities and licking their chops at the prospect of an America unable to protect ourselves and our allies.

The socialist utopia Obama is trying to create will eventually topple under its own weight as there are fewer productive people to support the perpetual entitlement society.

And when this happens and the underpinnings of his socialist folly collapse, and the government has to finally admit that it is broke, and can't sustain the status quo, I predict there will be unprecedented social uprising on the streets of America, as people who have lost the will and the ability to take care of themselves are faced with the prospect of less or no government assistance.

The national debt that hangs over America like Edgar Allen Poe's pendulum is just about ready to reach the outward balance point and head back the other way and sever America's economy to the bone.

Already a cyber war has been declared on America, our mountainous debt is coming due, homegrown terrorists are surfacing and the sharks are in the water circling the biggest prize of all, the United States of America.

And Obama's reaction is to maintain and expand his backbreaking social programs and reduce and demoralize the military.

President Obama, your legacy will forever be a weaker America.

God, give us a president who loves America, who believes in her exceptionalism, and who understands that in this day of power struggles and chaos, America cannot stand without turning our eyes and hearts back to You and maintaining the strongest, best-equipped, best-manned and best motivated military on earth.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
