“Rashness belongs to youth; prudence to old age.” Cicero.
That about sums up my opinion about the war protestors yesterday. Those student protestors were behaving in a manner that can only lead to more deaths. Their actions threaten peace and the lives of our soldiers. These young people are playing into the hands of our enemies!
A few decades back, our determined leftwing protestors brought peace to Vietnam and nearly 3 million people were systematically murdered; far more than died as a result the war. Yet, you don’t hear much about that do you? The left was content to criticize only America and therefore they were silent when communists murdered off the opposition.
Now 30 years later, a new enemy threatens humanity by waging war to exterminate those who do not devoutly believe as they do. American’s are number 1 on their hit list. And guess who is on the side of the radicals? Of course, our radicals! The “useful fools” rise up once again. Their meddling actions for so-called “Peace” is already leading to more deaths in Iraq. The terrorists in that country are fighting relentlessly for the same headlines that our protestors seek and the leftwing media is only too happy to supply. Their mutual goal is to cause America to become war weary and run. If all works as planned, the emerging Iraqi democracy will fall and a fanatical anti-American Islamic theocracy will emerge.
If our caring protestors were truly “pro-peace” and “anti-war” then they ought to protest all acts of war and violence. But do they? No. They are completely one-sided in their criticism, it’s so obvious. What is less obvious is the leftist agenda. This agenda is to destroy the America we know, then rebuild it into this sort of radical’s version of a socialist utopia. This would be absent a military, guns or conservatives. And to do that they need our enemies as much as our enemies need them. This is the absurd evil that belies the altruism of what they ironically call “peace” protesting, for they surely are protesting… peace!
