Earlier this week Barry “Almighty” was heard to say
that he wanted the American people to gain what he called perspective, and to be
thankful there is less violence today than there was during the Cold War. And while Barry may be correct in stating that
there is less violence in the world today, that really has more to do with
Barry’s rather skewed view of things than it does with any actual world events.
Because while the world may be less
violent today, that doesn’t necessary translate into the world being a more stable
place than it was during those ‘Cold War’ years.
Because despite the fact that there may be less actual
conflicts underway today, in many respects the world is a far more unstable place
than it was during those years which Barry makes references to. Barry also made a rather dangerous prediction,
choosing to imply that there is no sense of urgency when it comes to radical
Islam, saying that Islam’s process to rid itself of extremism would be a
“generational project.” Apparently he’s quite
confident that the problem will simply resolve itself. But just how long might that take and at what
cost in human life, I wonder?
Barry said, “I remind people that, you know, there
actually is probably less war and less violence around the world today than
there might have been 30, 40 years ago. It doesn’t make it any less painful but
things can get better.” And I would very
curious to know how it is, exactly, how Barry actually expects that things will
come to “get better.” Will they simply
become better all on their own as if by magic, with no outside assistance being
neither warranted nor even needed? Is it
simply naïveté that has Barry assuming that things will work themselves out all
on their own?
Barry set a pretty high standard for himself in
saying that at least the United States is not involved in another Cold War.
Barry did not compare his time in the White House with that of his
predecessors. Instead, he portrayed his
six years in a more promising point of view by contrasting it with some of the
most violent and politically complex times in modern world history. The 30 to 40 years Barry chose for comparison
cover the span of 1975 to 1985, during which, the United States engaged the
Soviet Union in a number of proxy wars and the world lived in fear of all-out
nuclear war.
In looking back we see that it was fresh off of the
resignation of its president, that the United States was embroiled in war in
Vietnam and Cambodia that proved, thanks to many in the Democrat Party, to be politically
toxic back here at home. The American military was called upon to Zaire,
Afghanistan, Lebanon, Korea, El Salvador, Iran, Libya, the Sinai, Egypt,
Granada, Honduras, and Chad. So Barry’s statement
while factually correct, it really doesn’t mean much. There’s not as much war today as there was then,
but the world has become a much more dangerous place.
Because it’s today that the world, especially the
Middle East, is stuck in regional turmoil. Putin’s aggression in Crimea highlighted the
worst relations have been with Russia since the Soviet Union collapsed. Hitlery Clinton’s much heralded Russian reset
has been deemed an unmitigated disaster. The United States has witnessed
anarchy in regions where Barry has decided to “lead from behind.” Libya, Syria,
Oman, Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen have all become failed states during Barry’s
presidency. Our relationships with important allies, such as Israel, have
deteriorated.
So as America does little more than watch as the
world slips just that much further into chaos, do we see Barry being even the
least bit concerned? Nope! In fact, it was just yesterday that Barry
flew down to the Florida Everglades aboard Air Force One, and in the process
expended roughly 9000 gallon of aviation jet fuel and emitted 5 times as much
CO2 as the average American does annually, just so he could ‘celebrate’ Earth
Day. Obviously Barry sees ‘climate change/global
warming/climate disruption’ as being a far more serious problem that a rapidly
deteriorating world.
Because while the very real problem of radical Islam
MUST be left to resolve itself, when it comes the bogus theory of ‘climate
change’, Barry said, "We do not have time to deny the effects of climate
change." He then added, "This
is not some impossible problem that we cannot solve. We can solve it if we have
some political will." Poll after
poll continues to point out that this ‘climate change’ nonsense is not as high
of a priority with a majority of the American people as it seems to be with
Barry. What’s most important to them are
the economy, jobs and national security.
So as his term in office now begins to slowly wind
down, Barry seems to be working very hard to ensure that he will leave behind a
trail of destruction, both here at home and abroad, the likes of which has
never before been witnessed as coming from an American president. And one that will prove to be most difficult
for this country to ever recover from.
His will be a legacy of an America that lies in economic ruin, and one where
our friends no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. We will be an America that is broke and
drowning in debt. So, will things ever
get better?
