Why They Think They're Winning Part I

Update: 11/30/2006 - This article says it right also and goes even a bit farther. Hat Tip Malkin for the link

Lets jump in the way back machine for a moment shall we and visit the US in in the 1940's. Roosevelt was President, Swing music was king, Patriotism was at an all time high and God, well... He was a given. Christianity and Christian values were so much a part of our society that even people who were not professing believers acted and lived in a manner that emulated our risen King. We had ideals that were worth dying for and I don't just mean one man for another although that did happen. I mean ideals that saw hundreds of thousands of our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters fight and die to preserve them and still more charging forward to join the fight and stay until it was won. The separation of church and state as we have come to know it today would have been scoffed at and berated by society at large. Why? Because people in that time period understood the difference between right and wrong, between Shiot and Shinola. If you'd have tried to sell a man our 2006 white is black and black is white philosophy back then you'd have likely gotten a strange look at least and at worst a square punch in the mouth.

Why do I bring this up? One simple reason... The Islamic countries/groups we are fighting, particularly Iran, are united by a similar faith ideal to the one that gave us the stomach to fight, stay in, and eventually win World War II. They agree and believe corporately that theirs is a cause worth dying for and die they will until they are either broken or victorious.

Our corporate identity has decayed severely over the last few decades. Somewhere along the line we forgot the ideals that made our country great, allowed us to survive and ultimately thrive. We have traded Gods ideals for our own. We have fooled ourselves into believing that we are governed by man's law and not God's, we have put what "feels" right, over what IS right and forgotten the principles this country was founded upon. Or at the very least we've forgotten the definition of those principles. Is it any wonder then why a slime toad like Ahmadinejad is confidently boasting of our impending doom? Any wonder why leaders like him feel empowered? They look at our petty squabbles over removing crosses from hillsides for fear of offending people, timetables in Iraq, wire taps, O.J. Simpson, Rosie O'Donnell, Alec Baldwin and watch as our country chooses a woman like Nancy Pelosi to head the most influential branch of our Government. No wonder they believe we are weak!! They manipulate our media as deftly as a master puppeteer because they know that we as a country have temporarily lost our spine, our convictions, our will to remain on top. Our leaders sit by while a scumbag like Hugo Chavez flies to our country, stands up in the middle of downtown Manhattan and calls our President the Devil. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT US, and frankly I would be too if it were not so serious a situation. I sit night by night and listen to pundits argue over what our next move should be in combating terrorism. But what nobody has the stones to say is that we, not any terror group are at present our own worst enemy, Period. I mean for them its really simple, all they have to do is sit back and wait for us to implode, to spiritually, mentally, and doctrinally run ourselves into the ground. If you watch closely that is what they are doing. They don't need to be stronger, or have a more powerful army or have larger missiles. They have read our mail America, they have our number. Before we can fight them we have to re-learn how not to fight one another.
