Where's A Good Cowboy When We Need One?

Saw an article wondering who does all the domestic/international defense, inventing, etc when (not if!) we become Europeanized (where 50% of GDP goes to welfare, leaving not enough for actually inventing stuff and for other's defense let alone one's own). (Europeans have PROVED you can have welfare or an adequate military but not both!) Now we're 'un-' growing a spine under the 'leadership' of these people.

This utopian state of existence that Obama thinks he can create for the whole world is the most irrational thing I've ever heard from a nation's leadership, perhaps from any human ... ever. It ignores both ALL of history and simple human psychology. Socialists have done stuff like this throughout history and it has invariably led to nations' internal troubles (too much debt, spending, taxes, dependence on government) and wars (inability to adequately defend one's self invites bullies to do harm to you and your friends). This president is doing much the same and expecting different results. Gads!

The important truth is, we could use a few cowboys in leadership. The world will still function like the 'old West', given a chance. We can choose to become spineless and allow the lawless to have their way or we can encourage and welcome men of moral courage and strength to do what needs to be done. Good guys vs bad guys. It's the way things are. Wanting everyone else to play fair just because you do doesn't mean they will. In fact, history proves(!) they won't.

Haven't these guys EVER been on a playground where bullies cause problems? Haven't they ever experienced some sociopathic adolescent walking up to them and kicking them in the groin just for the fun of it? Obviously not because they don't understand bullies happen and weakness is an invitation to them to at least experiment on harming you just to see if they can get away with it. (And when they do, it begs even worse treatment! DUH!) Moral strength (exercised!) and courage beget a measure of both voluntary and imposed civility sufficient to allow people to live decent lives. I worry about where this president is leading us.

God Bless Our Country. We need you more than ever!
