Heartsick

 

Heartsick

 From my recent posts, you can tell that I am heartsick that the country that I love, could be so humiliated by such incompetent and stupid leaders, on leaving Afghanistan. This goes way beyond politics, to the very core principles of our nation, its diplomatic corps, and its military.

 How could anyone who considered themselves to be any sort of leader foul things up as badly as this?  Who in their right mind, removes the troops from an embattled country first, leaving their citizens, allies and billions of dollars of equipment behind for a vicious, barbaric enemy to exploit, and then has to send the military back in, to plead with that enemy to allow them to get their people out.

 This is not the first humiliation that our country has suffered because of incompetent leadership.  The Iran hostage crisis and the abortive attempt to free our hostages in Iran, and the Bay of Pigs fiasco come to mind.  But never have we lefts upwards of 10-12,000 Americans and 80,000 allies behind enemy lines, at the mercy of barbarians, and then had to plead with those barbarians to provide egress without maiming, torturing and killing our citizens and allies.

 There is a moral and ethical decay or cancer that has afflicted our country.  Not just Joe Biden, who is hardly a legitimate president, although it is forbidden in our “woke” society to express such a thought. However, Biden is the symbol of what’s wrong with the country.  The point about Biden is that he is incompetent, has always been incompetent, and has been enough of an arrogant blowhard to bloviate his way past most situations.

 Well he can’t bloviate his way out of this one, although he certainly has tried.  “Don’t see anything wrong here”, says old Joe, while images of atrocities stream from Afghanistan, and universal condemnation rains down from our world allies, and our enemies laugh and scheme with glee.

 How did we get here, one might ask?  Well, this is what you get when you vote against someone and his too truthful tweets, and not for a guy hiding in the Vice Presidency, or hiding in his basement.  Did anyone think that it was going to be different, and that Biden would “grow a pair”, and all of a sudden reverse 50 years of ingrained mediocrity?  Instead he slipped into senility, and into the influence of inexperienced and more incompetent political operators.

 But its not just old Joe and the really stupid people running him.  Its our whole political system, that has devolved into a politically correct, “woke” Marxist enterprise, incorporating admitted Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa into its core.

 It’s rush away from patriotic and religious principles and a love of our country and its values and traditions, and replacing them with a twisted, racist based, hatred of our country taught by activist Marxist teachers and professors.

 Unfortunately, the sheep that watch the biased mainstream propaganda on ABC, CBS, NBC, et al, will never absorb the full story of how badly Biden screwed up this Afghanistan situation, and will soon forget it, and turn to the next inane reality show.

 Hopefully enough of us will remember this black eye to our country, to vote out the weak, “woke”, cancel culture idiots in Washington who are responsible for it.
