It's Time To Wake Up, Again
By Jon Alvarez (10/02/03)
Wake up America! We're falling asleep again. I say this because people I talk to, letters printed in local papers, and poll numbers all indicate that Americans have already fallen back into their old routines. Who could have ever imagined that within two years of 9/11 President Bush would appear vulnerable to a Democratic Surrender Monkey?
Who could have imagined that terrorism would not be at the top of the list of American concerns? Since 9/11 we have been in a state of war, yet the media and the Democrats have been waging a war of their own within this country. Their campaign to spread misinformation and mistruths concerning this war seems to have made an impact on the minds of many Americans. My fear is that while we have been very successful in fighting the war on terror abroad, these two groups will weaken that effort, which could result in future attacks on American soil. Their anti-Bush lullaby appears to be working.
Today, more than ever, it is widely accepted that the American public is still greatly misinformed and somewhat irresponsible concerning knowledge of current events. Their knowledge of current events and subsequent opinions come from the brief news clips they see on national news broadcasts. They are still asleep. The evident bias in the media and how it reports events concerning the war on terror is only now coming to light. This is not only an abuse of public trust; it is also irresponsible and dangerous. So while the media, the Democratic Surrender Monkeys, and the citizenry of America appear to be focused on the lack of WMD found in Iraq and thus, the lack of justification for the war, we should be focusing our attention on WHERE those WMD actually are. We are ignoring an opportunity to connect the dots, so to speak, before the next big terrorist attack. Instead of pushing forward with the war on terror, to destroy terrorism where it lives rather than on the streets of our country, the media and the left seek to silence the drums of war. We have the terrorists on the run, yet rather than pursuing them further, the Democratic Surrender Monkeys prefer to negotiate with them, to reason with them.
Who amongst the Democratic candidates will history look upon as this generation's "Neville Chamberlain", promising peace in our lifetime as they negotiate a peace treaty with Al-Quada? Will President Bush play the role of Winston Churchill, pushed to the sidelines while his fellow politicians appease evil, only to be called upon in time of crisis? When will these WMD show up on our doorstep? The next time terrorism decides to visit America; it surely won't come empty handed. Will we one day be faced with an America where news reports lead off with "another chemical attack in another American city, details to follow"?
By all accounts, the international community agrees that Saddam Hussein possessed certain WMD, some in large quantities. If they are no longer there, then the laws of physics state that they must be somewhere else. The rationale that Saddam secretly destroyed his arsenal should carry no weight until proof confirms that. There would be physical evidence of that, which we have also failed to locate. Thus, we must consider the likely possibility that these WMD were passed on to terrorists. Evidence confirms that Iraq and Al-Quada did have a relationship. Is it so far fetched to imagine a sadistic killer supplying weapons to an ally in order to inflict death and destruction on a shared enemy? Could the events at the United Nations preceding Operation Iraqi Freedom have actually caused enough of a delay ALLOWING for the distribution of WMD?
We are not prepared for what could become an even greater sucker punch than the one we received on 9/11. Our guard is down and our borders remain as open as ever. Dr. Condoleeza Rice admitted to Bill O'Reilly the other night that we can't effectively seal our borders because we are such an open society. Heck, an illegal alien can now acquire a drivers license in California. This is a perfect time for terrorists to hit us. We once again feel insulated from attack. I do not wish to be a modern-day Cassandra, predicting the future while no one listens, only to see that prediction come true.
More people have become involved since 9/11, which was their wake-up call. Patriotic Americans, many of whom equate the survival of America in the war on terrorism to the survival of the Bush presidency, continue to combat the liberal left. We've awoken to see firsthand how the left have been slowly eroding the foundations of American culture. More are joining us in combating the proponents of liberalism in America. That's why the anti-American left has become so shrill in its support of the Dean campaign and so vociferous in its attacks on President Bush. We're waking up and they don't like it. Our enemies on the left feel threatened by our patriotic pride; they recoil from the flag, preferring to burn it to prove a point. The fight is on to win over the minds of those Americans who have not yet joined the fray, those who are still asleep. The network news, the Democrats, and the anti-war left all oppose President Bush and a strong show of force versus terrorism. It is sad to note, that Al-Quada and their terrorist brethren feel the same way. Wake up America! Like Paul Revere riding thru the night, patriots everywhere must awaken those that sleep before Al-Quada does.
