The Crisis of the Crisis

How Good Is Your Memory?

Doesn't it seem like there is always SOME type of Crisis that we need to deal with.  Or should I say that the government will have to deal with.  Some of the ways government remains and gains power is by presenting fear to the general population.  Fear about something that ONLY the government will be able to handle in the proper way.  This will be the first in a series of articles about Crisis.

THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET YOU FREE!
It IS ALL about the power.  There is no such thing as coincidence.  Very FEW will step in front of another to stop a bullet. 
Those who drink from the grapes of power have trouble saying NO to one more glass of wine.  You have freedom as long as you do what the government says you should do.  Is that the freedom our founding fathers envisioned?
Government gains more power and is questioned less when fear and safety is brought into the picture.  Once people have tasted power, they don't want to give up that taste.  After tasting the grapes of power for too long, people start believing that it is THEIR right to continue to taste that wine.  Not their honor, their right.  When they get to that mindset, their actions are more about keeping themselves in power then doing what is best and right for the people.

The Crisis of the War on Terror!
I will deal with many crisis but the first one, let it be the so called War On Terror!  What has that war brought to this country?  I guess I could say thank goodness we invaded Iraq, can you image how high gas prices would have been by now if we had stayed in our own country?

What the war on terror has brought us.  We have to wear socks now that are clean and no holes if we are going to fly.  We don't actually have to, but it could be embarrassing.  Depending on the mood of the people in charge we may or may not be able to take shampoo, toothpaste, nail cllppers etc. with us on our flight.

The War on Terror have gotten a great word ,PATRIOT,  hijacked by congress in passing laws that take our rights away.  By calling it the Patriot Act they attempt to make it so that anyone that would oppose it would BE, UNPATRIOTIC.  A good way to keep people in check and quite.

As soon as this act or parts of it are due to expire, then we hear how much MORE in danger we will be if it isn't renewed.  But in truth what is in more danger is OUR rights as AMERICANS.  The very people who would and who have killed our people.  The very people who would take our freedoms away from us have had to do nothing more then fly the planes into the buildings.  Our elected representatives have done the rest as far as taking some of our rights and freedoms away from us.

If Bin Laden was so important in this War of Terror, then why did we not continue with him until we found him?  Could it be because he would be more valuable to the people in power alive and free then dead or captured?  Why go into Iraq before the job with Bin Laden was finished?  Wouldn't there have been time after that job was finished to then go after Iraq?

Do you remember why we went into Iraq?  Weapons of Mass Destruction.  WMD's.  Now after none were found I REMEMBER the people in power saying there were more reasons then JUST WMD's for going into Iraq.  The trouble with that is that I ALSO REMEMBER Colin Powell going to the United Nations outlining the reason for going into Iraq.  WMD's was the reason.  Once they didn't find WMD's they changed their story or reasons.  The ONLY problem with that is that I REMEMBER Powell's talk at the United Nations.  Some of this stuff would be so much easier to believe if my memory wasn't so good.

So once no WMD's were found and Saddam was pulled out of the Rat Hole I had a simple solution to the problem.  Put him back in power.  Don't you think he would have played ball with us?  Let HIM get his country back into control and remember we dug you out of a rat hole, we can do it again.  But no that would have been too simple.  Instead it was very important to make sure he was dead.  What was such the rush?  As far as that goes what was such the rush of killing the Oklahoma City  Bomber?  Both people still had much information, so why such the rush to close the lips of that information?  Remember there are no coincidences.

The war on terror has been a very high cost of blood and treasure.  The dems like to use that wording a lot.  But billions and billions of dollars have been sent to a country we invaded.  Thousands of our young people have lost their life's, and many more thousands have lost body parts.  Remember Viet Nam?  I do and back then you had old men and some not so old playing with the lives of young American boys sending them to fight a war that was NEVER declared.  Have we actually declared war on Iraq???

NOW the difference is that we have old men and some not so old, and old women and some not so old, playing with the lives of our young American boys and girls in a war (was it ever declared?).  So I guess the BIG question I HAVE to ask about the War On Terror is this.  If the War on Terror is SO important, and if the main reason is too keep our country and people safe, then WHY after 6 1/2 years since 911 are our borders STILL SO OPEN!!!!!!

IF IT IS about keeping our people safe and our country safe, wouldn't one of the first things you do is make SURE it is difficult for people to enter our country without us knowing about it???  It just makes common sense to me that closing our borders would be one of the FIRST things we should do.  I would think that most of our young people would rather be protecting our borders from invasion then being the invaders.  If the terrorists can't get here, then won't it be harder for them to hurt us?  If our young people are going to have to serve in a desert wouldn't most rather be closer to home?  At least this way maybe they could get home more to see their families and be serving in a safer place.

The problem is NOT our young people serving.  They will protect us, they have already given so much.  The problem is not with them.  The problem is with the people in power on BOTH sides , that are playing with their lives.  Making them serve tour after tour of duty.

The Crisis Of The War On Terror!
If it is such a big deal then WHY aren't our borders closed?  WHY?  You can't say we haven't had enough time to close them.  We have had over six years.  If our safety and the safety of our country is so important to take away people's rights and freedoms (such as the Patriot Act), then WHY isn't it important enough to seal our borders??? 

How can it be a crisis, how can it be a war on terror, when one of the most important things to do to assure our safety ISN'T done?  Is it as much a War On Terror or is it more a War On The Rights Of Americans?
