Poland to Still Get Missiles

These lunatics are everywhere. Perhaps someone should tell them Czechoslovakia doesn't exist anymore. Ask them what freedoms they are losing and they can't name one. Mainly because aren't losing any. Fueled by hate is all.

I apologize for the betrayal of our friends in Poland. Many Americans continue to know who our true friends are and will never abandon our Polish allies. Please persevere, as we Americans do, through these dark days.

As an American well versed in the history of WWII and the appeasements that allowed German to invade Poland, I’m saddened and angry on the way this Obama administration has treated a staunch ally.

Obama’s “reaching out” to our and the West’s enemies seems to entail abandoning our friends.

A late night phone call to Poland to announce a major change policy is insulting.

Obama seems to find more comfort in authoritarian rulers than in those selected by a democratic vote. i.e. Putin, Chavez.

Poland and Czechoslovakia are only two in what will be a long list of reversals of policies of past Administration that focused on a united free world defensive strategy.

He has appointed about 30 Czars to control parts of our country that should be under the control of Congress. If that is indicative of his “grab power” mentality, what is?

Fortunately for the US and Eastern Europe, he is plummeting in popularity and there is a real possibility that he will lose effective control of Congress in 2010.

I just hope he doesn’t put us in deeper danger by further appeasing with the Russians at the expense of those will suffer the new Russian Imperialism.

Perhaps Obama should commit to memory the words that Churchill threw at Chamberlain for the Munich Agreement.

"We have suffered a total and unmitigated defeat.
… We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude...we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road...we have passed an awful milestone in our history, when the whole equilibrium of Europe has been deranged, and that the terrible words have for the time being been pronounced against the Western democracies:

"Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting".

And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.”
