97 Reasons Democrats Are Weak On Defense And Can’t Be Trusted To Govern In Wartime

Today’s Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy, who with courage and decisive action kept on top of their jobs and aggressively confronted one national defense crisis after another.
Jimmy Carter, elected during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and (1) believing Americans had an inordinate fear of communism, (2) lifted U.S. citizens’ travel bans to Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia and (3) pardoned draft evaders.
President Carter (4) also stopped B-1 bomber production, (5) gave away our strategically located Panama Canal and (6) made human rights the central focus of his foreign policy.
That led Carter, a Democrat, (7) to make a monumental miscalculation and withdraw U.S. support for our long-standing Mideast military ally, the Shah of Iran. (8) Carter simply didn’t like the Shah’s alleged mistreatment of imprisoned Soviet spies.
The Soviets, (9) with close military ties to Iraq, a 1,500-mile border with Iran and eyes on Afghanistan, aggressively tried to encircle, infiltrate, subvert and overthrow Iran’s government for its oil deposits and warm-water ports several times after Russian troops attempted to stay there at the end of WWII. These were all communist threats to Iran that Carter never understood.
What if We Leave?
What will happen if we leave Iraq before the job is done. Who will suffer? What will the future look like? How will your life change? Do you really want to know?
Let’s say that the Democrats win the Presidency in November 2008 and follow through with their threats for an immediate pullout by, say February, 2009. Within six months Iran invades Iraq. Al Quida joins with Iran and begins an invasion of Egypt then Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and all the other oil rich countries. Iran follows through with its nuclear threat and launches a nuclear missile on Israel. Our enemy now has full control of the lifeblood of the world. Germany, France, Russia, Brittan and all of the other European countries rely almost entirely on Middle Eastern oil and will collapse within six months, tops. Only about ten percent of the US oil supply comes from the Middle East, but don’t for a second believe we will not be affected! Complaining about $3.00 a gallon gas now? How about no gas!
What Did We Do?
Now that the November 2006 elections are over we must look back and observe the results of our own decisions on that day. For weeks before the elections, all I heard was “punish the Republicans!” or “I just won’t vote!”
Overwhelming statistics show that the vast majority of the voting public is either conservative or moderate Christians. From this I can only deduce that most of these voters did exactly what they threatened… either they stayed home or they voted Democrat just to punish the Republican Party! This reminds me of the parable of cutting off your nose to spite your face! I hope those of you that exercised this God Given right are happy with your decision because we are going to live with it for a long time! As was predicted by conservative talk show hosts across the nation, a Democratic majority has resulted in an endless series of wasteful and time consuming investigations over the most insignificant issues around.
