The last few days I have been finding it more and more difficult to write about politics. The reason is; I don't want to become an "Obama basher". It is not in my value system to put down a person because of their politics. The far left took up "Bush bashing" and I don't want to be one of those mean people who slam the President every chance I get, cause I don't agree with his politics. It is just that this particular President, seems to be leading us down a terrifying road. So I am going to try to say what I want to say, without my anger turning into vengeance because of what President Obama has done this last week has angered me to the core.
First the Ipod: Who gives the Queen of England an Ipod? I wonder if it was made in China?
Second: Who is arrogant enough to load their own speeches onto the Ipod?
Third: We have no war with Islam. Don't apologize.
Fourth: You are the President of the United States of America ---you don't bow to a foreign monarch.
Fifth: The Europeans look to us when they need protected, that is not arrogance, that is kindness and sacrifice for other humans.
Sixth: We dropped a bomb on Japan, yes while not a pleasant thing, it ended a war that if taken into the streets of Tokyo would have killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of both Americans and Japanese. Don't Apologize!
and the last thing that has angered me the most....
When you are invited to go see the graves of 9000 - 10,000 American men who gave their LIVES to free another country, GO! Their is no excuse for not going. The "it was out of the way" thing doesn't work, I think even I could make a 50 mile trip across the English channel, and I have to buy my own gas. Turkey is much further away and you made that trip.
I don't care if you don't want to offend the Germans! D-day happened, our men were killed. 6,000,000 Jews were killed, we freed the remaining Jews from certain death. Don't apologize!
Their are few German people alive today who thought that what the Nazi Party did was a good idea. They were doing what they were told, with honor. I think the German people understand that we did what we had to do, that's not offensive, it is just our nations honor. The only people you would be offending by going to the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach would be Nazi's, and I don't care if you offend a Nazi!
