Today, there was another mass shooting. This time in Oregon at a
community college. Very little is publicly known yet. There was a shooter who
is now dead, and many dead at the hand of the shooter as well as many wounded.
That is just about the extent of our knowledge at this time.
Within four hours of the shooting President Obama held a press
conference scolding Congress for not passing a gun “safety” law. I put the “safety”
part in quotes because it seems that this is the new name for gun control.
Global warming is now “climate change”. Teachers are now “educators”.
Gun control is now “gun safety”.
Mr. President, please sit down and stop talking. Just go sit in
the corner for the next 15 months and play tetris on your Obama phone. We’re
sick of your incompetence and your games.
You have blamed the problems in Iraq and Afghanistan on President
Bush. You and your minions always go to
the line “we never should have been in Iraq to begin with” as though that’s
some sort of an answer to the mess you’ve made in the middle east. Let’s try some
truth for a change.
When George Bush took over the Presidency in January 2001, it was
widely known and reported that the United States Intelligence had been starkly
diminished during the eight years of the Clintons. Seven months into Bush’s
presidency, this nation was attacked. Nearly 3,000 dead from four planes. Two
into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one that crashed in a
field in Pennsylvania. That one didn’t harm anyone in Washington DC because the
American citizens on that plane saved the lives of either Congress or the lives
of those at the White House by trying to take the plane back. They weren’t “ordinary”
Americans, they were heroes!
That attack took place on September 11, 2001. 7 months into his
presidency, and remember, his presidency started off slow because the election
was contested for over 35 days and then delayed a bit by the childishness of
the Democrats leaving the White House taking the W’s off of the computer
keyboards as they left. But those petty occurances didn’t deter Bush. He began bombing in
Afghanistan on October 7. Less than 30 days after the attack! That sir, is
Presidential. Acting with decisiveness and not making excuses. Having a clear plan and strategy and not running away and hiding from the problem.
If you’d like to claim that the entry into Iraq was wrong, have at
it. But with the intelligence we had at the time, Bush was right to go to Iraq.
Perhaps you don’t remember that a substantial majority (including Senator Hillary
Clinton) voted in agreement for that war.
If there was a problem with Iraq when you took over, that’s fine.
But blaming it on President Bush is asinine. It’s now been 6+ years and you’re
still complaining that we shouldn’t have been there? Had you been presidential,
you’d have stopped your whining about how we got there, and blaming President
Bush, and if you felt it was wrong, you’d have found a way to solve it and get
out of that war without creating all of the problems we have now. Keeping the American spirit and preserving American dignity.
You drew a red line in Syria, but you didn’t hold to your words.
Your Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton brought out some cheesy button and
called it a reset button for the Russians to push. Your concern was to get a
deal with Iran. You got your deal, but America got screwed with more screwing
to come. Just those three things, let’s look at what the results are. The
Russians have now moved into Syria ostensibly to fight ISIS, but they are
attacking the rebels (that we back) instead. Today, the Iranians
moved into Syria for the ground war to clean up any surviving members of the
rebels. The rebels are not ISIS. They want Assad out and are trying to do something about it. We want Assad out but all that's provided from this administration is hot air.
Apparently, the red line you drew was in our friends blood. The
reset button Hillary pushed with the Russians set in motion a new day where the
Russians no longer care what the U. S. says because the President of the United
States hasn’t the wherewithal to follow through on his own words. In other
words Mr. President, the world says you’re weak!
Now you want to bring in refugees from Syria. Please tell us how
long before we find out how many terrorists snuck in with those refugees.
You have opened the borders and by-passed Congress on the southern
border of this country. We now have illegal aliens here that are unsavory at
best. Murderers and rapists at worst. How many terrorists have slipped by into
this country from the south since you stopped enforcing our laws on entry into
this country?
Now you want gun control again because of another shooting on your
watch? Well, I refuse to give up my guns. This country is not safe any longer
because of your failures as President of this country. How do I defend my
family, friends, neighbors and myself when one of the terrorists decides that
they want to attack an area that I happen to be in on any particular day? We
certainly can’t talk terrorists out of what they want to do. Need proof? Look
at Iran. All of your talking got a deal…for the Iranians. Nothing for the
United States of America! Even while negotiating, they were saying "death to America".
It’s time that another approach was taken to these shootings. Perhaps
arming the potential victims instead.
When we can shoot back, most of those that want to shoot up a school or movie
theater, will think twice before trying. Please don’t suggest that this is
ridiculous. I’ll just remind you again that it was American citizens on a
hijacked plane that probably saved many Congressman and women from certain
death by fighting back and taking the plane.
Taking our guns away will only embolden our enemies. I think you’ve
spent nearly 7 years doing that and it’s made us the laughing stock of the
world and put American lives in danger at home.
While I’m in a disgusted mood, I’ll add one more thing. You traded
five terrorists for one of our soldiers that apparently deserted to join the
other side. Yes, I’m talking about Bergdahl. You left four American hostages in
Iran and didn’t even try to get them as part of this all important (to you) deal
with Iran. Now, there is an outrageous event taking place. Sgt. Charles
Martland, a Green Beret is being kicked out of the army for going after an
Afghan police commander who had raped a 12 year old boy and beat his mother and
did this on an American base. In addition to that, this police commander was
trained by the US military and that training paid for by our tax dollars!
I suppose it makes sense that you’d want to disarm Americans and
not allow us to protect ourselves from those that would do us harm domestically
and abroad. In my opinion, that Green Beret is too good to be commanded by such
an incompetent commander in chief.
You did as was predicted and cut and ran from Iraq and about to
from Afghanistan. You’ve negotiated with terrorists (Iran) and gotten the deal you
wanted despite 70% of the country not liking the deal. You wanted it to be your legacy along with Obama care. Obamacare failed
and your deal with Iran failed to obtain
anything for our country. So I beg you
to just go sit in the corner and play whatever games are on your Obama phone.
We American citizens will do better for ourselves without your interference.
You’re welcome to comment.
