It
was a dangerous world when the Democrats and Republicans settled on
their choices for presidential nominees. It is now an even more
dangerous world.
Russia is threatening Poland with nuclear attack.
If Poland deploys the defensive missile shield we have agreed to supply
them, Russia will target them with nuclear weapons. In the event of a
conflict, Poland would be a priority target.
The bear has come out of hibernation. He's hungry. He's angry. And he's feeling his strength. In a post as tribute to
Reagan's ad man, Hal Riney, when he died this year, I gave you a link to his 1984 ad, "
A Bear in the Woods." It's worth viewing again.
There is a bear in the woods.
For some people the bear is easy to see.
Others don't see it at all.
Some people say the bear is tame.
Others say it's vicious...and dangerous.
Since no one can be really sure who's right, isn't it smart to be as strong as the bear...if there is a bear.
Closer
to home, Iran is developing plans to launch a nuclear armed Scud
missile from a trawler off the American coast with a view to detonating
the device over the United States, sending an EMP (electro-magnetic
pulse) across the country frying electronic circuitry everywhere. This
is the report from Dr William Graham, former White House science
adviser under President Ronald Reagan, to a Claremont Institute
conference on missile defense. “An EMP attack on America would send us
back to the horse and buggy era — without the horse and buggy,” said
Rep. Trent Franks, R, Ariz.
Read all the frightening details.
But
Barack Obama is more concerned about disarming the country
than about doing whatever is necessary to protect it, including space
based missile defense that could protect us from this sort of plot. He
explains it himself in
this video.
This is no game for the unpracticed.
