We’re being sold a bill of goods. While our leaders are busy creating a climate of crisis to push through their agenda, they are also busy turning to another huge agenda item, which is to take away our American nationalism and replace it with a global mentality.
The current administration is busy apologizing to the world in London for the downturn in the world economy and laying the blame at our feet. In essence the president is taking responsibility the downturn in the world economy. But that’s not what he’s really doing. What he is doing is trying to extend his agenda of redistributing wealth inside our borders to our own people to include people around the world.
The world is at war. It is a war that has been going on since the Cold War. The Cold War appeared to be over – or that was the way CNN reported it – but the American way of life has remained under attack ever since the walls came down. Capitalism is under attack on all fronts. The most visible are the attacks against us along the lines of the September 11th attacks where brutal terror attacks jolt our world. The less visible attacks are the attacks on our way of life. As Western Europe fell into their own form of Socialism the U.S. came under attack for being ‘cowboys’ and having no regard for the world. As we went to war to fight back the most recent wave of aggression from the Middle East against the West, we went virtually alone. Only Great Britain and Australia brought troops to the table at the kind of level that could be considered true allies. The rest of the world fell into attacks against the U.S. in one form or another.
So I have to ask: Are we ready to be part of a global experience? Is the world ready for that? I don’t think so. As high-minded as the idea of globalization sounds the world is far from a place where nationalistic self-mindedness can be put aside and replaced with holding hands and singing cum-bae-yah. We are just over sixty years from the last world war, we’re less than twenty years from the end of the Cold War and we’re still locked in a war against extremism determined to destroy our way of life – yet we’re supposed to believe the world is ready to join hands with us and be one. That’s far from the truth. The world would LOVE to suck us into putting down our guard to give them a better shot at taking us out.
The world is at war. If we’re not smart enough to recognize that fact and defend ourselves we will ultimately pay the price for our arrogance. We have to – at least for the foreseeable future – remain vigilant.
