For you conservatives, how do these names sound for blurbs on the back of a book, William Kristol, William F. Buckley Jr., Robert H. Bork, William J. Bennett and Jeane Kirkpatrick? Mona Charen's Useful Idiots, How Liberals Got It Wrong In The Cold War And Still Blame America First is a must read if you are concerned enough about today's political issues to put some reading time in. It's out in paperback (isbn 0060579412) and retails at $13.95.
The term was used by Vladimir Lenin concerning reporters and others who visited Russia, bought into the propaganda of the Bolsheviks and returned to America with their enthusiasm. Jane Fonda in North Vietnam and Michael Moore in Hollywood are two of the more high profile examples of those who fit this term but not every instance of making poor decisions that work in favor of our enemies are as discernible.
President Bush considered is necessary to plan a missile defense for Europe, one of the reasons given was the potential of missiles from Iran. President Obama wants to resolve the Iranian problem and has made overtures to Vladimir Putin concerning dropping the shield for Russia's help in stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Poland and other East European countries will be left out in the cold. Iran would delay, delay, delay until it has the weapons it wants. The United States would save some money, and Russia (should it agree) gets what it wants. Israel. Israel will then take matters into their own hands.
Such is the extent of difficult situations we face that demands Americans attention. It has been my observation that many people, when the subject of God comes up, are very stubborn in their willingness to just wait and find out what is in store for them. There is only one person in this equation and it is them, chances are there is plenty of time before this question will be answered and they, quite simply, have the determination to wait. Most people have children, or at least loved ones, that should be added to the equation. I try to bring this up in conversations on the gospel. I'll say something like this; "You know that your lack of interest will lead your children in the same direction? Are you really that confident?" I'm not looking for an answer for I know the gist of what it would be. I just want that concept in their mind.
The same principle exists here. Many are saying that America is on the precipice. It can devolve into something that we would not want our children to experience. I believe this principle but I also believe that it can be used deceptively to pressure someone in any circumstance. It's that powerful of a concept for people who love their children. So I just put the issue before you. There are Republicans, Democrats, Christians and non-believers alike who do not take lightly the economic and terrorism issues confronting us, and are not willing to let short term goals obscure long term disasters. My scenario may not be right but there is more than enough evidence to identify and reject the path President Obama is pursuing.
