April 14, 2009: Rush Limbaugh recently said something like 'conservatives think and act with their minds, liberals with their hearts and emotions, and so liberals always win'. The antidote to that child-like response to intellectual questions and discussions (since there really isn't any) is Nil Illegitmi Carborundum - Don't let the Bastards Wear You Down.
But whether or not you approve of Limbaugh, especially since the recent dust-up about "Obama should fail...", there is an important message here.
Without a doubt, the inmates are actually running the institution. The institution is the world, and the inmates are all of those people who are self-destructive, and want to see everyone else destroyed.
The United States of America should be on a course re-establishing itself as the world power. We cannot continue on the path, as described by China a number of years ago, of becoming a "paper tiger". Ever since this country's founding, we have been the world's leader. Our political philosophy, the desire and entrepreneurship of our people, our military strength, our interest and desire to do what is right, both socially and politically worldwide, is our hallmark.
Despite some governmental screwups when the Iraq war began, our military has achieved great success in aiding the Iraqis to achieve a free and workable government. Now that our government's attention is directed towards Afghanistan, lt's hope that its (government) actions do not creat a Viet Nam situation there. But, as we have seen in the last couple of days, at least, the United States of America is not as feared militarily as it once was. Iran and North Korea do not appear to be put off by our might, and the Somalia pirates struck again today - four more ships taken by pirates. The necessary and successful killing of three pirates, and the capture of one, yesterday, has not, so far, had impact on those pirates sailing the seas near Somalia. Perhaps all of the above is because our current government is presenting more of a 'flower-power' face than a mighty military one.
We do not need to be loved; our greatest power exists (existed) when we were respected,and, yes, feared. We have once again to become a country that is strong militarily - in actual physical content and in the minds of our people. We cannot be a "politically correct" nation, all things to all people, We have to symbolize the historical strength of the United States of America. Our allies need to be strong and unequivical, as we must be.
The United States is not a community organization. It is extremely important to the rest of the world that this country is looked upon as a strong and connected country, one in which each individual has the ability and strength to depend upon him or herself and who value the ability to help their neighbor.
We must return to the times of educating our children in the American ideal - the ideal in which this nation was founded and the one in which millions of immigants believed. This country was not perfect in its past, is not perfect today, and more than likely will not be perfect in the future.
But one thing we are is predictable - predictable in that we will stand up for what is right, encourage other countries to become successful, to reach those classical liberal ideals of political, economic, and personal liberties, so that every person can be proud of who they are, and proud of the successes they achieve, and their ability to respond to failures which may beset them, without having to become chattel of government.
Whether or not the Obama administration, or many of the European country administrations, have the ability to rise to that goal, if we are to remain a free nation, a nation strong in the face of physical and ideological threats from nations and groups seeking to destroy us, then we must return to our original strengths.
Everyone want success, the problem is how do you define what success is. When Limbaugh said he hopes that Obama fails, he spoke of the failure of an idea of a system which would weaken and destroy the greatest nation ever developed on this planet. We all want the United States of America to succeed, fifty million or more of us want changes to this country, which we believe will destroy the basics of this country as it has been since its founding, to fail.
Nil Illegitmi Carborundum - we have to keep the bastards from grinding us down into the dust of a country, and a world, which would waste the last 230 years of our existence.
