So this morning, while just beginning to plug back into the world, I noticed that the news reports are focusing in on the effects of severe budget cuts to that one piece of our government the political left is more than willing, we’ll call it down right eager, to cut, our military. Defense spending for those of you who have not read the document, is one of two items of expenditure mentioned specifically within our Constitution. The other is a National Postal Service. Active duty personnel are being delivered their pink slips while in the field overseas. Calling this revelation unprecedented is an understatement. Suicidal, stupid, egregiously self destructive, openly rooting for American defeat, fomenting American defeat, or the even more caustic, a course of action so idiotic that it could only have been born by someone with an Ivy League education leap immediately to mind.

Bear in mind that while this silliness is taking place, our military is refitting, at considerable expense I might add, many of our sea traveling vessels designed for purposes of war to operate on biodiesel. This is a fuel source by the way, that even with heavy subsidy from the Department of Energy, carries a price tag that is roughly 600% higher for our Navy to pay. This undoubtedly is another of those politically correct points of stupidity to help our national defense apparatus fight our real enemy, “Global Warming.” So, I guess we can look forward to any actual people left in our armed forces facing a redeployment literally, to tree hugging duties and other such time and money wasting boondoggles, while the enemies of freedom and civilization run rampant and inflict their caliphate upon a world suddenly devoid of the once formidable protection of a strong and committed United States. Isis, Hamas, Hezbollah, a Nuclear capable Iran, a Taliban ruled Pakistan, Al Qaeda ruling in Libya, the actual invasion of our Southern Border by Mexican Drug Cartels armed via gift from Barack Obama and Eric Holder personally, are all small potatoes, when compared to the unproven claims, (and coincidentally, recently the subject of some more scandalous incidents of data manipulation by the NOAA,) inherent in the global warming scam.

Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more surreal, we get a bipartisan approval of the very same all in one air craft that other armed forces the around the globe passed on, mostly because it’s useless, over a decade ago. We’ll allow the guy who designed one of the truly great fighter jets in world history to tell you why the F-35 is a disaster, and why it is folly for our military to spend one thin dime more on this project. (Yes, Democrats and Republicans alike should be taken to task on this one.)

What we have is a military now that is being literally starved of its most valuable asset, troops to do the work necessary. At the same time that we’ve fired the people necessary for any endeavor to succeed, we’ve been busier than hell spending like idiots on gadgetry and new toys, some of them already proven to be worthless. Technology is great, but only when used properly as a tool in the hands of trained professionals. Barack Obama is decimating our military, and changing its mission from one of national defense to one of environmental radicalism. In this game of national self flagellation however, the United States is not the only citizenry to pay the consequences for our country’s insistence upon twice electing the least qualified person in any room he enters to be our chief executive. The world as a whole is less safe. The removal of our missile defense systems from Europe turned out to be the beginning of long line of national defense blunders, entered into purposefully, so that America and her allies would get their comeuppance. Redeploying our military to be nothing more than the political muscle of Green Peace just turns out to be adding insult to injury. Purchasing the F-35, a jet proven to be less capable of performing any individual task which may be asked of it than the aircraft used by the military during 1950’s, that’s just flipping any who hold our Constitution in any regard the proverbial middle finger. That’s modern liberalism folks, recognize it for what it is.
