When I turn on the TV, I am touched by the image that we are not serious. The top shows seem to be things like American Idol. That is nothing but fluff. People go on that show in the hope that they become famous and make millions. Most end up on that show making fools of themselves. Why would anyone go on a TV show to make a fool of themselves. I am baffled by the mindset that allows someone to do that to themselves.
We are in the middle of a war for our very survival. The Islamo-fascists want us converted to Islam or dead. Since most of us are not going to convert to Islam voluntarily, that means they want us dead. To have that sort of a problem looking us in the face it is hard to understand the fluff that goes on in American entertainment. I understand that we have to have entertainment. We need to get away from our worries and cares. The problem I see in front of me is that we have become obsessed with entertainment. We are becoming like the ancient Romans just prior to their fall.
Ancient Rome built itself up into a great culture. As the culture grew, the need for entertainment grew. The entertainment became more and more important to the people. People were obsessed with entertainment to get away from the realities of life. When the Celtic people invaded, they were able to march into Rome itself. The people had lost the ability to defend themselves. Are we becoming like those ancient Romans?
Our army is the best in the world. There is no force that can stand and win against us, unless we let them. That is what I see happening in Iraq. We have tied our troops up in knots with rules of engagement. When we find the enemy, we are more concerned with protecting civilians than killing the enemy. If we allow our soldiers to do their jobs, they could finish in Iraq within two months. They could finish off Iran and Syria before the end of the year. But, we will not let them loose. We are so afraid of what the liberals will think.
I wonder if America has the will to survive. The culture seems to be obsessed with entertainment. I wonder if my grandchildren or great grandchildren will even have an America to live in when they are my age. The Islamo-fascists are deadly serious. We are not serious. Most Americans do not believe that we are in a war. Most Americans think that if we are nice to the Islamo-fascists they will be nice to us. That could not be further from the truth. We have to fight. We have to win. We cannot fail. The big question is: how do we get people to understand that we are in a real war? What will it take to wake up the American people? Do thousands or even millions have to die before we wake up? I hope I am wrong. I hope that everyone understands and I am just misunderstanding. I fear I am right.
