Downgrade

It has been almost a week since the great deal that was all we could get was done. Occupant signed it into law in a quiet Oval Office with only still pictures taken. Many of us warned that the compromise would be bad. Now we know. American debt has been downgraded for the first time in generations. All of us will be paying more, and just you wait. The political ruling class will be telling us that we need another deal. My heavens!

I remember the horrible ObamaCare signing ceremony when Occupant foisted his socialized medicine scam on us. There were tens of people around him as he gladly and proudly signed into law the plan that will result in deficits and more debt for decades to come until its repeal.

We were promised repeal in 2010. It has not happened. It could have happened, but the GOP 'leaders' don't believe they can do it. If they have so little confidence in their ability to accomplish leadership goals, they should just retire quietly and write their memoirs of the good old days when they weren't so accountable.

The only plan out there to have staved off the downgrade came from Conservatives in Congress. Our folks should have held out, but the Courage was not there to fight on.

Now, today, the news of the downgrade hits the wire. As sad as the downgrade might be, it pales in comparison to the horrible loss of life in Afghanistan. Early reports indicate that SEAL Team 6 members were the victims. These are the same men who 'got Bin Laden'. If the reports are correct, we have lost some of our very best, and we should mourn. Following that we should unleash the very hounds of hell against the people who supplied weapons and funding to the people who killed our boys. It is time to stop coddling these folks; it is time to win a war and come home.

If we don't approach this the same way we did World War II, we are not going to avenge the loss of life. It is time to be in it to win it. Total commitment to Victory is necessary, or we should just come on home now. Victory is the only acceptable outcome, but it cannot be achieved without total commitment to it. I don't expect these politicians to understand, but we must have Total War against the enemy, and it must come now. Or we should just come home now. Two choices. No more.

My sympathies to the families of the fallen. We can never repay you for the sacrifice, but we can remember. And we can punish the perpetrators, but only if we have the Courage to do so. Our Present Occupant does not have the Courage. He vacations while Americans suffer.

November of 2012 cannot arrive soon enough to vote out this bunch of thugs. It is time for them to go.
