Comments on: A Year of Living Dangerously: Dismantling Missile Defense http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/04/a-year-of-living-dangerously-dismantling-missile-defense/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:27:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Bill, Little Rock http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/04/a-year-of-living-dangerously-dismantling-missile-defense/#comment-66211 Bill, Little Rock Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:35:16 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=19125#comment-66211 It is difficult to understand why the big spenders now in power in Washington will spend tens of billions of dollars at the drop of a hat to "spread the wealth around" and laughably talk about how many jobs they have saved or created, but will cut spending on advanced weapons systems in which we have invested billions of dollars for development and which would provide thousands of well-paying jobs to the employees of military contractors and their suppliers. It makes no real-world sense, even politically. It only makes sense when their rabid anti-America and anti-military thinking is considered as a possible motivation.

It ignores the reality of evil, thinking that all things can be 'engineered' to perfection, ignoring history and common sense. In light of this, of course defense spending is being cut.

Little by little he is acheiving this. Yesterday, in California he stopped a nuclear waste storage plant from being finished. As the nuclear waste is piling up. He never does one thing to protect our country. He is spending us into disaster, and wasting 1.4 trillion dollars on the way. He will leave us broke, in debt, and unable to defend ourselves. He is setting us up to be taken over! Who is going to stop him!! I agree with Lloyd, President Obama is out to destroy this country. Little by little he is acheiving this.

It always costs more in the long run, both in human lives and in dollars. History has taught us this. Why does every dreamer think that somehow, some way that THEY can make it different? These people know nothing about human nature. They ignore world history; they ignore cultural and political differences that run counter to freedom. They ignore the fact that the primary responsibility is to defend the Constitution and protect American Citizens. I guess the only people we need to fear are the foriegn insurgents. Somehow, human and world history changed in a flash and there is no longer any threat to our survival from potentially hostile regimes.

Also, maybe if we start flying the flags of every rogue terrorist nations in front of all government buildings then rogue leaders will think twice before launching nuclear tiled missles at us? Assuming Obama is thinking ..... What on Earth are you thinking???? Missle Defense technology is growing mature with success after success and creates high quality jobs ..... The threat of Iran and North Korea become more and more profund ..... And Obama caves in the USA's technology advantage? The advantage that has prevented the advent of major World wars and saved endless American soldiers in localized regional wars. Not wise to kill Americas technology and American jobs! Not to mention Americas security and safety from terrorist nations with the atom bomb! Is there room in the next defense budget to issue Manderian For Dummies books to all Americans?
