Well thought-out observation of our nation's path towards mediocrity and, eventual collapse. Starting with Defense - or lack thereof - and...AND the current regime could blame a "republican"
Can anyone seriously doubt that when we have an anti-colonialist (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/07/AR2010100705485.html), anti-imperialist, Euro-socialist president serving as the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, that America’s military, as currently constituted, is in serious trouble? While fundamentally changing America’s economy to follow the downward trajectory of those various but failing socialist experiments collectively known as the European Union, do you suppose it hasn’t occurred to the nomenklatura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenklatura) of the Obama regime that those countries have downsized their military forces to help fund their workers’ paradises? The biggest, Britain, France and Germany, have significantly reduced their forces since embarking on their socialist paths.
The shrinking of those formerly powerful militaries is the major reason for America’s being policeman to the world. Consider for a moment that our current president doesn’t even want to police our borders, much less the world. Why then, if he wants to emulate Europe economically, would he not duplicate their military policies and shrink our standing forces leaving the world’s policeman role to some other country, one with a growing economy and military, say China for instance?
Beginning with the Bolsheviks, the Left has always realized that many of their goals are not palatable to the ordinary folks, so deception and manipulation are necessary to implement their policies. Blaming your own misdeeds on the political opposition is a proven tactic and made infinitely easier with a gullible and compliant media eager to do precisely that. As Sequestration, with its huge military budget cuts, looms, Obama and the Democrats, aided by the media, are trying to convince Americans that evil, intransigent Republicans are entirely responsible for whatever hardships befall our armed forces. When you have the New York Times giving you cover (http://www.democraticwhip.gov/content/ny-times-editorial-republicans-hiding-truth-sequestration), it becomes much easier to carry out your blatant deceptions right under the collective nose of the American people.
