I have never been so ashamed of my nation’s government as I am today. The Iraq Study Group report was the straw that broke this camel’s back. The executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government, along with their various departments and bureaus, share the blame for making the mightiest nation on earth, the United States of America, the laughing stock of the entire world and the target of every terrorist. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves.
In my opinion, all political factions, parties, politicians and bureaucrats have taken part in this debacle, either through their active participation, or by not caring enough to stand up and do the right thing.
You self-serving, glad-handing, back-slapping, mealy-mouthed phonies are guilty of the following crimes:
- Leaking protected or classified information to the liberal anti-war media.
- Providing aid and comfort to our enemies.
- Wasting the most highly trained and best equipped military force in history by not allowing it to do its job.
- Demoralizing our brave volunteer troops.
- Demoralizing our patriotic citizens.
- Causing the greatest nation on earth to lose yet another war.
- Playing up to the liberal anti-war media to obtain personal positive publicity.
- Failure to secure our borders or to assist local officials with illegal aliens.
- Failure to stand up to petty, saber rattling dictators.
- A complete lack of any meaningful cooperation or bipartisanship.
- A complete lack of spine and intestinal fortitude.
- A complete lack of decent foreign policy.
- Failure to do what is right for this nation.
- Taking advantage of the voters’ trust by lining your pockets with huge bribes and kickbacks.
- Voting yourselves big salary increases and golden parachute retirement and medical benefits.
- Allowing the U.S. Constitution along with American morals and values to be twisted and perverted.
This partial list of crimes that have brought our nation to its knees is lengthy. So is the list of those in our government who bear the responsibility.
The Roman Empire was corrupted from within. So is, I am sorry to say, the United States of America.
I can only hope that the American voters will realize their mistakes and, at the next election, do what I intend to do – clean house! I also hope that on the ballot will be candidates with the strength and resolve of a George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt or Harry Truman. The current crop of incumbents and potential presidential fodder are not fit to muck out a stable.
