The story of history: It's the Ideology!

The story of history: It’s the Ideology!

Last Friday, I ended my FORUM with a quote by Jefferson. He said, “History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.”

History will tell us that this present administration, this president and this current congress will be the worst this country has ever seen. Jefferson’s words will live to, once again, tell the truth.

This week will contribute towards, what history will tell us was, a mistake. This week will be a week of historical context.

First, in this story of history will be what General Petraeus is now saying about the war in Afghanistan and the draw down date of July 21, 2010. He is giving his “best professional military advice” it probably will not happen.

The president has made it a point, since he was a Senator, to say that the real war on terror is in Afghanistan. His escalation, without a clear cut objective, will be the historical down fall in that theater of war. Each general and military advisor, who was in the know, has said not to get embroiled in Afghanistan. The President is now embroiled and this will be another Johnson (LBJ) moment in history.

Second, is the story of Iran? Iran will become the first Islamic nation to achieve a nuclear position of strength in the Gulf this week. On Saturday, Iran, with the help of Russia, will load a nuclear reactor with fuel rods. In a very short time, within a month or so, Iran will be able to acquire plutonium. Iran will have the capability of producing 40 to 60 plutonium based weapons from one reactor.

The State Department is relying on Russia to keep Iran honest in the manufacture and management of this weapons grade material.

Our policy in Iran, over the last two years, has been to draw a line in the sand and keep moving it back. One argument is that every country has the right to this technology. I believe that is true. However, an Islamic based radical government cannot be trusted with the destructive power of the weapons side of nuclear technology. History will tell us that, when it is too late. Until we resolve this Islamic movement around the world and tame this power hungry radical element, the world’s peace will be in jeopardy.

The third story is what is happening in New York City. The President gave his tacit approval of the Islamic Mosque and cultural center that is being proposed to be built at the site of Ground Zero. Who will argue that our Constitution does not guarantee the right to practice your religion? The Constitution guarantees that government will not establish a religion, but it does not give any religion a right to the exact place to worship. This is what the president did not say and should have said.
Since our early days as a republic, we have been fighting the Islamic State. Jefferson created the Navy to fight the Barbary Coast Pirates. These pirates were part of the Ottoman Empire that controlled the Middle East. This Islamic State held captive our ships and the ships of other foreign ports. They held sailors and officers in captivity for ransom. Our young country paid millions in ransom just to have passage way through the Gulf and that part of the world for trading purposes.

We have never really understood the Islamic faith and its rulers for two plus centuries. And we are making the mistakes that history has told us about now. Every President, since Jefferson and Jackson through Roosevelt and Truman since Reagan and the Bush’s, were trusted to keep us safe and strong. You notice I didn’t use the name of Carter and Obama, because history has told us the mistakes of Carter and it will also tell us about the mistakes that Obama is making now.

As President, you cannot give tacit approval to an enemy and a religion that has in its roots hatred towards the West and every thing the West stands for. This enemy is not only politically based, but it is a religious based enemy that is using our laws and our culture against us and we are weak to defend it and we are stupid not to.

I advanced the thought last week not to hate the man, but to hate the ideology behind the man. It is the ideology that I worry about, because most recent history has told us what the man’s ideology is and now it is warning us of what his ideology will do to us as a nation.

The most recent FOX news dynamic polls show that 61% of he people polled say that the proponents of the Mosque have a right to build it, while 64% say its wrong to build it at Ground Zero. This is the issue at hand and it is what history will show us. This Mosque will be able to take advantage of our tax exempt laws and they will use the law as a religious freedom argument to implement the Islamic Sharia law here. This is a religion that will not stop, until it becomes world law - when a religion attempts to do that it ceases to become a religion.

Our earliest emissaries warned us of the rulers in the Islamic world. History has a story and I am just letting you know a little bit of it today, so that the stories this week will become understood.

A footnote: There are 78 days left of this story until the midterms. We will start the countdown then to the total defeat of the progressive ideology. You notice I didn’t use Obama’s name. Remember Jefferson’s quote at the top of this FORUM!
