Did You Know?

As President Obama was in Oslo, Norway preparing for his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize, a Russian Inter-Continental Ballistic Missle fizzled in the night sky above Oslo.

It has come to light that Russia is modernizing and upgrading its missle and military arsenal, even while they are engaged in "arms reduction" talks with the U.S.

But did you know that every nuclear nation is doing the same - modernizing and upgrading, except for one? That's right - the United States is the only nuclear power that has decided to put all its chips on the arms reduction talks while letting its arsenal corrode and fall into disrepair. In fact, many of the missile silos have been sold to developers and private enterprise to be put to new uses.

It will not be long before the United States finds itself at the bottom of the heap, and unable to protect itself or maintain its power in the world.

The liberals hail that as a victory, believing an unarmed America is not a threat to anyone, so we would be left alone. But the sane people see it for what it is - an open invitation to destroy our way of life, and succumb to socialism and fascism. Unarmed, we become what is known as "prey".

This administration needs to get a dose of reality - you simply cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Those with nuclear arms will keep them, improve them and use them to threaten the rest of the world. That will result in the rest of the world having a need to follow suit, in self-defense. And if America is not going to stay strong and stand by and protect the rest of the unarmed portions of the world, then we lose our relevance, our strength, our credibility, and eventually, our freedom.

Kahlil Gibran once wrote that only the strong can afford to be kind. America is kind, almost to a fault. But to be able to be kind, we must remain strong. And like it or not, strength lies in ones military capability.

That is not to say we have to USE that capability. But HAVE it we must.
