The New Hundred Years War
Remember when you were in High School and studying history. Remember how you could not believe that there was such a thing as “The Hundred Year War”.
Mr. Bush told us that this “War on Terror” would last 100 years. As Mr. Colbert has named it, “The Long War”. Watch the video of the segment on this. {Source}
This like all the other “Wars on” have no beginning that we can remember, and no end in sight. Drugs, Poverty, Illiteracy. They have been with us from the beginning of time and unless we change our hearts, minds, policies and bring Justice to the world, they will be with us always.
Terrorism has been with human beings since the first being picked up a stick or stone and used it to make other beings do it’s bidding through fear. The weapons used have become more violent, but not the action or the reasons.
We have homegrown terrorists. What else can you call anyone who uses bombs to stop Abortion Clinics from preforming a legal act? What else do you call those thugs which stopped the recount of the 2000 ballots in Florida? What else do you call mobs who surrounded The Vice Presidential House during this same time, shouting that Vice President leave that house immediately? (While he is still the Vice President). What else do you call those police who infiltrate Peace Groups and try to get them to commit violence? What else do you call an Administration which lies and spies? What else do you call an Administration which tramples on the Constitution? A Constitution which they took an Oath of Office to support, defend and protect, from both foreign and domestic!
We are in a war. A long war. But it is not against the Terrorist that you have been told to be very afraid of. Those were a mere 1200 people. They could do some damage to us, but they had no hope of destroying America.
We have been destroyed from within. They sold us fear and we bought it. While we were thinking that we were making ourselves safe, they stole our Constitution and our freedoms. No enemy has ever been able to do this to us in our history.
Shame on them! Shame on us for allowing them to pull this old conjurors trick on us. “Look, look, see what our left hand is doing. Keep looking, this is the only way that you will be safe. No, don’t worry about the right hand. Move on!. There’s nothing of interest here! What, spying? That will make you safer! What, selling our Port Security to an Arab nation? That will make you safer! What, Patriot Act becoming permanent? That will make us more powerful, oh I mean you safer!
You want safer? Then cling to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all of the Amendments! Demand that this Administration and this Congress abide by their Oaths of Office.
