Unite against our real enemies

Unite against our real enemies!

It is disappointing that some newspaper publishers do not set a higher standard for themselves by doing a little researching before opening their mouths and making very insulting, derogatory and down right false statements about the military and our Commander in Chief, President Obama.

The United States is blessed to have a strong military force which provides a very good life for the many members of the Armed Forces and their families. I was lucky to have been an Army brat, to grow up getting to see some of this world and live in many different places. One thing I learned when my family was stationed overseas is that Americans are often viewed with disdain. Hence when I read an editorial or article where someone compares President Obama to the dictator, Adolf Hitler, I wonder where they got such a crazy idea?

It is also disturbing that anyone publishing a newspaper, even in a small town, does not know about the Ready Reserve Corps, which was established some 66 years ago, that our nation might be prepared for national disasters, including nuclear war. My father was very much involved in training the Ready Reserve Corps, so it is rather insulting to learn that someone would think this is a "private army" established through the health care bill to round up Christians, Catholics, Jews and 'Tea Party' members.

Such false statements demonstrate the degree of ignorance some people have, not knowing how the military functions or what is involved in keeping our great nation secure. You would think anyone would realize that it is vital to have a Ready Reserve Corps in these times where our national security is threatened by everything from pandemics and natural disasters to terrorist endeavoring to destroy America. This is not fantasy, but reality, and I would have thought after 9/11 everyone would clearly see that there are those who want to destroy us. The treat of terrorist obtaining a weapon of mass destruction, be it a nuclear device, chemical or biological weapon, is a real and present danger. Hence when making health care reform it is prudent, wise and very practical to insure that the President and the Surgeon General have the command authority of the Ready Reserve Corps to implement emergency measures in the event of a national emergency -- and what constitutes a greater national emergency than an attack upon our nation by terrorists!

Ultra right wing, fanatical shock jocks seems to be loosing their heads over almost every thing that President Obama does. This leads me to believe that some among their legions are racist, especially when I learn that many programs now being promoted by Democrats were original ideas of Republicans. Isn't it strange how hatred works. You may have a very good idea, then if someone you don't like who is black gets that same idea, you then denounce them and try to assassinate their character. And to try to make everyone believe you, you say you are not a racist, while beating up and bullying on the black man with words or clubs.

A fellow once told me that he was not a racist because as a child he had a black nanny. Then he later said how President Obama was like Adolf Hitler, who is without a doubt one of the most evil figures in history that you can compare someone to! Now what do you think, is someone a racist if they make such an unfounded and utterly untrue comparison? Then this same person said they were a Christian, as if that would lend truth to their statements or opinions about President Obama.

Time tells on a man, especially when he has hatred in his heart or darkness in his soul and opens his mouth without thinking about what he is saying. There are a lot of people saying bad things about President Obama. Some are even making wild cartoons to assassinate his good character. Others think this is all very funny. But you need to remember, President Obama is our president and was elected by the majority of the people. Give the guy some respect and stop spreading hateful lies just because you don't like his politics.

True, we have a two party system and there are those who would like to have a 'Tea Partry.' But I question their sense because the original Boston Tea Party was sparked by taxation without representation and in these United States of America we have a representative government and balance of power with Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of government. Therefore those who dream up wild claims about how they are not represented and want to form their own militias, their own little armies and rebel, are nothing but anarchists!

I personally think that this is NOT the time to be dividing our country with party politics. We are fighting two wars and if Iran gets nuclear weapons we may be fighting a far wider war. This is a time when all Americans should be coming together united against our common enemies; we should not be listening to divisive voices and fighting among ourselves. How soon do people forget. On 9/11 terrorists attacked our nation and they have been planning attacks ever since.
Al-Qaida has gone underground, regrouped and fanned out; they are secretly making plans to attack America and are being aided by Iran. This has been clear for a long time, given the deployment of high tech IEDs that are designed and engineered using components from Iran. Given the efforts being made by Iran to develop nuclear technology, it will not be long until they obtain the means to make an atomic bomb. Having aided terrorist in the past, we would be fools to not think they would continue to do so in the future, with weapons of mass destruction.

If anyone wants to be making comparisons of Adolf Hitler to world leaders, they should compare Hitler to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Here is a fanatical Islamic fundamentalist who has denied the Nazi Holocaust of European Jewry as a "myth". He basically stole the last election from the people and is now a dictator who is bent on developing an atomic bomb. A nuclear armed Iran under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a potential nightmare for world peace. And I'm not a racist for thinking this, I'm a patriotic American!

All civilized, peace loving nations should unite against Iran, impose strict sanctions, and ban together to prevent Iran from obtaining an atomic bomb. And instead of bashing President Obama, we should all come together and support the President and urge that we stand fast against our real enemies, those who wish to destroy us for our freedom, our, country and our God!
