I am glad that Mitt won the debate handily. I’m certain that all readers of me, watched it, so there is no need of examination. At the end, I was amazed that Obama and his wife quickly exited the stage, while Mitt’s large family mounted the stage and engaged in a hugging session, which surely can not be missed by Obama supporters. The wholesomeness of it cannot be missed. The next one, between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan should be a riot. Biden continuously puts his foot in his mouth, and just isn’t awfully bright. Ryan is brilliant. It should be hilarious, and place another nail in the Obama coffin.
Remember how the cold war ended? Both sides spent hundreds of billions on arms, missiles, and threats. I still remember Ronnie standing in front of the Berlin Wall and saying, “Mr. Gorbachev, take down this wall.” It came down, not because of a war, such as in Afghanistan, or Iraq. It came down, because we had more freedom, guts, and money. We won the cold war without a shot being fired. The Soviet Union was extinguished by its own bankruptcy and slavery.
Could there be any better way to extinguish the world wide Muslim threat to freedom, prosperity, and happiness, than by totally ignoring it, and letting it crumble all by itself? Has there been a Muslim ruled government or nation, which has excelled at anything, other than murder, roadside explosives, suicide bombers, and violence of all shades and degrees? They treat women as slaves, won’t allow anything pleasurable, and their religion is anything but uplifting. Muslim ruled nations, are classics of misery, slavery, corruption, and bankruptcy. Yet we are there, trying to help them? We are sending them billions in foreign aid?
What good has the Afghanistan war done for us or them? We teach them how to be good police and they shoot us in the back. We build schools, roads, and infrastructure, only to see them sabotaged and destroyed. We try to instill basic civilization and see it fail miserably. Why do it at all? Why not just totally ignore them, and let them go the way of all stupid flesh? Name one scientific discovery, stable government, or educated class which has come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or Pakistan. These people are thriving, not on their own education and brain power, but by U.S. aid, armies, and attempts at help. All this aid and attempts to civilize have gotten us nothing, nor improved their lot one iota. The suicide bombings and destruction continue, because their religious, beliefs and holy book tell them to kill the non believing infidel, and reward them for doing so, which is exactly the opposite of the teachings of Christianity or Judaism.
What good can possibly come from further investments of armies, and money infusion into Muslim nations? Further resentment by them? Of course! More violence and betrayals? Naturally! So, why does foreign aid and fighting continue? I have no idea, and neither do you who are of a libertarian bent, as am I. Never has there been anything so destructive and costly as have been Iraq and Afghanistan, who incidentally, had nothing to do with 9/11, as George Bush insisted. The violence and unrest continues in Iraq, and all that supposed oil which would have paid for our war there has yet to emerge, and probably never will. Muslims deeply resent our equal treatment of women, and our invasions of their lands. Leave them alone, and stop subsidizing them with our money, technical ability and armies, and they will collapse into nothingness pretty quickly. Those Muslim governments and war lords have squelched any attempts of their people to educate themselves and become civilized.
I saw a bumper strip the other day, which I totally agree with, and it said, “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. BRING THEM HOME IMMEDIATELY.” Unfortunately, that’s a libertarian stance, not a Republican or Democrat one, even though probably 90% of Americans would agree with it. How about it Mitt? Why not include that in your campaign speeches? If elected, why not do it? Advocates say that immediate removal of our troops and cessation of the war would result in Afghanistan’s collapse. So what? Who could deserve it more?
