Squandering Honor and Treasure….
This just turns my stomach. Damn my soul for being asleep these many decades, unaware of the perfidies perpetuated by ravenous and greedy politicians craving power. Be they Clinton or Bush or Johnson, Carter or Kennedy, over these many decades they have all poisoned the soul of America , squandering honor and treasure.
Not like any of us could have done anything about it. Who, in the end, can prevail against powerful men who have nary a principle or a scruple left to their names. As one friend remarked, the sums quoted by the writer quoted below are only the tip of the iceberg.
From the Iconoclast, where you can read it in it’s entirety…
Selig Harrison, a close student of Pakistan, almost a year ago calculated the actual aid to Pakistan up to that time as amounting to (if one includes, as of course one should, the cancellation of Pakistani debts to the United States) at $27.5 billion. Since then many millions more have been added. Members of the Press, and others, before repeating the claim that Pakistan has received “$10 billion” should read Harrison’s article, and come to their own conclusions. My view is that the correct formulation would be that since 2001 Pakistan has received $30 billion dollars from the United States. It has become, during that time it was receiving such colossal amounts of aid, and has remained, the sanctuary of Bin Laden and of Ayman al-Zawahiri. It has remained the chief sanctuary and supporter of a revived Taliban. It has remained the chief incubator of Islamic nuclear ambitions, with weapons which, we are supposed to believe, are being “secured” by “Pakistani”(!) forces. It has remained, and will remain, a malevolent supporter of terrorism and aggression against Kashmir, and the rest of India.
But what is $30 billion wasted, compared to the $60 billion wasted on malevolent meretricious Egypt? And what is $30 billion wasted on Pakistan, to do what it never would do, to become what it never will become (a real “ally” in the “war on terror” — god, we are run by fools, and other fools listen to them and do not question them), compared to the one trillion dollars, and counting, spent on Light-Unto-the-Muslim-Nations Iraq
But please, do tell me where are the protests of those who impugn America’s support for Israel when it comes to objecting to the egregiously obscene amounts that we hand out to our enemies? At least Israel and the Jews have gifted this world with centuries of genius and invention, while the Arabs and the Egyptians and the Islamists are as locusts, devouring the fruit of the West, raping her bounty and defiling her soul.
Can you imagine such sums invested in our country? Infrastructure, drilling for oil, building nuclear power plants, colonizing the moon. And to you helpless socialists and your victim constituency- such pursuits create industry for citizens on every level. And if such citizens won’t partake of a healthy capitalist system (unlike what we have now) they can just fall by the wayside. I’m sick of elevating those who will not walk on their own and filling the stomachs of those who wish to destroy us.
And there isn’t a candidate out there who can take this on. Who will cut the bloody parasites loose, bring industry back to our shores, get rid of the illegals and limit immigration, protect our constitution, sovereignty and borders, and, most importantly; name and destroy the enemy;Islam.
Not one freaking viable candidate. Just the Obama/Hillary/Huckabee/ Paul traveling circus of horrors.
God help us all.

now don’t get all upset, I wasn’t actually invoking any god’s help - but if i were shopping deities - the Christian god wins every time- however, the religion of Christianity has been abandoned to leftists and cheek turners. Personally, I’m hoping for some Crusade type christians to show up, however, I’m not holding my breath…. but I’m not sure what you mean with “life is both real and fair” in this context…….
