"Limp-Wristed FOOL!"

I remember a saying from my youth:”I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back!”; common braggadocio from young boys on the field of athletics. In truth, nobody wants to compete with someone at a disadvantage. Football teams watch game films of their next opponent; fighters go to their next opponent’s fights and pitchers and catchers study the line-ups of the team they will face next. Athletes like to have an edge when preparing for a contest; it makes good sense!

When I wrestled in high school, we always talked about the other team and where they were weak and how that could be exploited. We knew the individual records of each team member and found out who were the “studs” that we needed to really be prepared for.

In the Army, we hear the term “margin of victory”; do you know what that means? The “margin of victory” is the size of the enemy forces in comparison to the size of your forces. Ideally, the United States Army likes to go into an encounter with a three to one margin. You can forget all that stuff about a “fair fight” when it comes to a combat situation; we want to overpower and crush our enemies. It is the mindset of “killing a flea with a sledge hammer”; and it is a GOOD IDEA!

On the D-Day mission of WWII, we sent thousands upon thousands of men into Europe to force the occupying NAZI forces back away from the Atlantic shore. We knew we would have many casualties from that invasion, but we knew we had to destroy Hitler. Hitler himself didn’t want to face the American forces, as he knew how powerful America was. A strong defense is the key to a free nation!

Yesterday, I once again heard very disturbing words from the Obama administration. Once again, the “limp-wristed” Obama is talking about reducing our already depleted nuclear arsenal. Mr. “I don’t have a clue about the military” Barack Obama wants a reduction of nuclear arms to the level not seen since the 1950s. The Pentagon press secretary George Little said Mr. Obama wants an alternative to nuclear deterrence. I guess we could have some clothing manufacturer make up 20 million “white flags”, as it seems Mr.Obama is surrendering American strength before any conflict can take place.

Our weak Chief Executive is very busy in his pursuit of the “gelding” of America’s military might. He is also dedicated to the removal of privately owned weapons from American citizens. The words “protect and defend” are very prominent in the oath of office that this man took over three years ago; yet, I don’t believe he has lived up to that oath during his entire term thus far. I can’t print everything Obama’s new proposal encompasses, there is just too much to put into a small blog! I urge every person who reads this to do some research into this proposed policy. If everything Barack Obama had done in his office were a success other than this, this would be enough reason to keep him out of the White House in November. Since January of 2009, Barack Obama has done more harm to this nation than ANY OF HIS PREDECESSORS, BAR NONE!!! How are you today, better off than 2008, or worse? Weak economy, weak defense and weak leadership; these things define Barack Obama!!
