"United We Stand"

Repost from 2004:

United We Stand

For those of us who can remember WWI & WWII, we need to remind the younger
generation of how we succeeded winning those wars.
They were times of great
sadness, times of great loss, times of enormous unity by the entire United
States of America and most of the free world.
Certainly there were those who
opposed both wars but they were the very small minority. There were those, as
there are today, who didn’t want their loved one’s to go to war, but when they
did, they supported all of the troops and prayed for their safe return. Most
importantly, the brave Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard who
didn’t come home and made the highest sacrifice, didn’t die in vain. Our purpose
in both wars and every conflict thereafter has been to combat aggression from
those who oppose a free world, those who’s only goal was global power, to the
extent of killing there own people to get the power, i.e. Saddam Hussein.
Each and every conflict the United States has been involved in, up to the
present, has resulted in unity from the majority of the population. We hate war
or conflicts but we understand the reason behind it.
The problem with
today’s majority of citizens is that they have never known true adversity. The
stock market has for the most part, been good. There has always been more food
then needed, look at the obesity of many folks today. There have been no
rations, with the exception of a few gas lines at various times. There have been
more millionaires made in the past and present century then ever before. In
other words the past 60 years have been good for the United States.
We
cannot imagine what would have transpired had President Bush not retaliated to
the attack on America since 1979. Yes, 17 from 1979 to 2001. we are not blaming
either the Republican or Democrat Presidents during those times but the point
is…..enough is enough. President George W. Bush did what four (4) Presidents
didn’t have enough guts to do and that is retaliate against foes of peace and of
a free world. December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was the first and last attack on
American soil until the attack on the American Embassy in Tehran, November of
1979. In 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a message that the United
States would not tolerate aggression against countries that wanted a free world
and President George W. Bush has done the same.
Then in 1977, when Jimmy
Carter was elected President, he started down sizing the military after Vietnam,
and that is when terrorism started to raise it’s ugly head. Presidents Carter,
Reagan and Clinton did nothing to combat terrorism. President George W. Bush,
Sr. made a feeble attempt to bring Saddam Hussein to justice but failed.
When September 11, 2001 happened, the President in power, George W. Bush,
Jr., retaliated in a way no other President before him had since Roosevelt, and
that was send a message that again reminded the world that the United States of
America would not tolerate terrorist activity on United States soil or any other
countries soil for that matter. Had President Bush not reacted, the Liberal
Democrats would have been up in arms stating he was not protecting the people of
the United States against terrorist aggression.
Well folks, we ARE in the
middle of a WAR, like it or not. To leave Iraq before our job is complete would
send a message that the United States is weak and that we turned tail and ran
home. Then you watch the terrorist activity increase more then ever.
If
President George W. Bush is not reelected to a 2nd term and Kerry is elected to
his 1st term, the United States will be in the worst trouble in history
So my
fellow Americans think real hard about your decision on who should be elected
come November 2004. If you Liberals, in your heart of hearts, strongly believe
that Kerry is the answer to all, then by all means cast your vote for him. If on
the other hand you are voting for Kerry ONLY because of your hatred for
President George W. Bush and America, rethink your reasons, especially you
bleeding heart liberal stars who have made your fortune just because you live in
America, a country that will tolerate your militant voice.....NO LONGER.
The United States of America needs unity now more then ever.
“UNITED WE STAND
AND DIVIDED WE FALL”
