This Endless Talking Is Getting Us Nowhere

Don't you get tired of the crowd that stands around, bleating while pointing fingers and complaining while our fighting me are putting their lives at risk to do what is necessary to protect this country? I wonder at those that proclaim that West, that we in America shouldn't adopt tried and true tactics because they would put us on the same level as the enemy. It is madness to think that we will never have to take on tactics that we find distasteful and "beneath us" to fight a ruthless and implacable enemy that gives heart to our enemy. The enemy then sees our refusal to do so as weakness and yet another reason for pressing on the attack and takeover.

Many cultures and civilizations have fallen victim to the "I'd rather be dead than give up my ideals" mentality. Soon enough we will have to decide what we are made of. Are we going to make a decisive stand or stand endlessly, wringing our hands, bleating pitifully about ideals while the enemy dismantles our culture from without and from within as it lobs bombs over the walls their sappers are at the same time undermining. This is what I see happening to the West.

A scourge has emerged from the desert and has overtaken much of the world. Powerful nations, their populations unaccustomed to war and deprivations, moan, cry, point fingers at everyone, and at themselves, not willing to take the necessary steps for self-protection, not willing to support the armed forces, the police cadres, the education system, or anyone else that violates their cherished ideals as they perform, doing what has to be done.

This isn't rocket science. Someone has to do what some consider to be a dirty job, that which is necessary to ensure survival. Someone must take the lead, make the decisions and act upon them rather than talk endlessly while the enemy .... acts. The actions they take benefit their cause.

I am not talking about the War in Iraq or just the so-called "War on Terror." I am talking about Islamic Jihad, lack of border security, rampant un-checked immigration that threaten our very existence. Rather than complaining and finger pointing, picketing the President's ranch, parading, publishing pamphlets, and the like, activities that aid the enemy, choose a practical activity that will uplift the country. There are dozens of problems in this country that are undermining our security and our existence that require citizen participation and unpopular or unpleasant measures to fix.

Sometimes as individuals and as a nation do what is necessary to make it. As did our predecessors who came up with timely programs and activities to assist the troops and the nation, why don't we? The Federal Government didn't do everything for them. Why do we expect them to do it all now?

The government can't protect us if we aren't willing to cooperate AND to take steps beyond what the government is unable to do. We could organize and enlist a civil defense cadre, or carpools to save energy, or come up with more up-to-date activities and solutions. Stop complaining. Do as our enemies do...act.
