Cancer In America

America today is like a person’s body being ravaged by cancer. The disease is not terminal yet, but, as in the case of physiological cases, if not treated it will soon become a death sentence.
America has several malignant tumors, some of them are high profile, well known elements that are not so covertly attacking the American way of life in their quests to gain a level of power as close as absolute as they think they can get without alienating the part of the population that supports them, but are also not too kin to accept totalitarianism. Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid, the list of high profile elitists is long and distinguished!

As much as these elements attract the attention of the general public for their continuous appearance on the Media and its continuous propaganda spin, those who are the most dangerous to the freedom and the way of life of the American people are the ones who perform their voodoo rituals under the radar of public opinion. They are the under-secretaries, the Presidential advisors, the diplomatic envoys. These are obscure figures that the Obama regime has placed into positions where they are not continuously scrutinized by outside entities, like some Media outlets, but that have enough power to influence policy for quite some time.

One of these people is a certain Rosa Brooks. Who is this woman? She is a well known Leftist who has been known for being a brutal critic of the Bush Administration. She has labeled al-Qaeda as a little more than an obscure group of extremist thugs. She referred to President Bush and VP Cheney as psychotic and in need of mental help. She determined that the surge in Iraq was not going to work. And she made no excuses for considering President Bush a war criminal, whose policies after the 9-11 attacks made America less safe.

So this woman, whose qualifications still escape me, has been appointed to be an advisor to the Undersecretary of Defense for policy Michelle Flournoy.
Many would ask why would she be such a threat to the country?
Well for start, this position is a focal point for the development of our country’s policy as it refers to our defense. Experts from the previous administration stated that for people who want to greatly influence the Pentagon policy, holding this position would give them a great opportunity. As an advisor, Ms. Brooks can have a great influence on the Dept. of Defense upcoming planning review. All suggestions are brought up to the Undersecretary and the discussion than starts to make the wanted changes on the document. This danger has been seen in the 2007 Intelligence Report on Iran Nuclear ambitions. Some of the changes made before the report was publicized, stated that Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons, only to be debunked by the realization that Iran may be in possession of such weapons as early as 2010. Damage done.

In her position, Rosa Brooks would have the potential to see some of her anti-Military views being incorporated in the actual Defense Policy, potentially affecting the readiness of our Military and the security of our nation. The application of her extreme ideology to her decision making for our defense policy is a scary and disturbing reality. Moreover, the fact that she is an appointed political figure, she is immune from being ‘fired’ by voters. The only way to rid America of her twisted, Socialist, defeatist influence on the most important policy making in the country is to get rid of Obama, so we as a nation will have to wait until 2012 to eradicate this cancerous cell in America.
The Constitutionally guaranteed procedure of having civilians in control of the Military establishment was a provision that the Founding Fathers installed to prevent the scourge that history has seen over and over, of military dictatorships. In American history, this provision has served the country well almost always. But giving access to policy making power to individuals who follow ideological principles that are not at the core of the American system and are contrary to National interest appears to me to be a gamble that our country is destined to lose.

As we saw during the Clinton administration, the devastation of our Military and of our Intelligence Services came with a high price to pay when we were attacked. Similarly, the same level of cuts and devastation that Jimmy Carter brought upon America in just four years also took time and money to reverse. In the case of our current President, it is not just the cuts to the Military that will be disastrous, but also the civilian infrastructure. The steps toward Socialism that Obama has been taking so far will be extremely hard to reverse and render innocuous, but we have to make sure, as real Americans, that we understand how vital to the survival of the country is to regain that footing of self-reliance and independence from any government, whoever the political ideology in charge is at the time


And these are my thoughts!
