Prime's Worm Hole : There's a void in global leadership

There's a void in global leadership

Was it something he said?

Addressing congress, president Obama said, “We will not rule out military assets. We will not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people. This is an illegitimate regime which has lost the support of its people. To that end, I have asked the Pentagon and the Secretary of Defense to look into the no-fly zone. Our message to Colonel Qaddafi is simple: go now.”

No, actually? It was something someone else said. Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK to be exact. Cameron is the one that made those comments before his house of parliament today. One thing is for sure, Barack Obama will never threaten the use of America's military power to intervene on any level or for any purpose. That is the way his own beliefs and those of his leftist handlers run.

Addressing the House of Commons, Cameron said, “We will not rule out military assets. We will not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people. This is an illegitimate regime which has lost the support of its people. To that end, I have asked the Ministry of Defense to look into the no-fly zone. Our message to Colonel Qaddafi is simple: go now.”

Thus does the burden of leadership pass from an inert American White House. The post-American century is full of little surprises.

The post American century is upon us. The minute George Bush left office and Barack Obama was sworn in, there was an immediate and palpable void in leadership on the global stage. The world has noticed that void, Hence the rise of Islamic militancy and the collapsing of the middle east piece meal.

For the last one hundred years, America has been the leading force in the world. Yet if you believe the leftist media, America was despised and hated and we had lost our ability to lead the world. We didn't deserve to be the leaders of the world. and when voids are created, voids are filled.

Teddy Roosevelt knew what leadership was, when he sent the Great White Fleet around the world to demonstrate American power and resolve. James Monroe knew what leadership was, when he drew a line on the map and warned the imperialists of Europe that they had better not cross it or else. Thomas Jefferson knew how to handle Libya when he sent Presley O'bannon to Tripoli with the Marines in 1805 to deal with the Barbary pirates.

And two hundred years after the fact? We have an anti American diplomatic weakling in the office of the presidency. Someone who is being recognized daily in world capitols for his lack of ability to handle even the most basic responsibilities of his office. Our enemies are laughing at us and is there any wonder that David Cameron of the UK and Sarkozy of France and Merkel of Germany are simply moving on and no longer concerning themselves with America?

America has lost its standing in the world alright and Barack Obama is responsible for it.

Meanwhile, the enemies of this nation are taking note of our weakness on the world stage and domestically. As this president twists in the winds of the Muslim storm that has been blowing for the past several months in the middle east, other leaders are being forced by circumstances (the void) to step forward and fill in where America has failed to lead.

This week it is Libya. Next week or the week after that it will be Saudi Arabia Mean while all the other smaller confederate kingdoms in the middle east are each falling under the spell of revolution. Islamic militancy is on the rise and they are riding the crest of the militant wave that is rushing across all nations in the middle east. All except Israel. Israel who sits alone, isolated and abandoned and soon to be inundated on all sides by her assembled enemies. America is no longer Israel's allie.

I wonder what the public face for this harlequin of a president will be once Saudi Arabia falls and the missiles are incoming on Israel....

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
