From the Far Right of the Political Spectrum
If you are liberal in your outlook, you will probably hate formykountry. If you have a conservative bent, you might love formykountry. This blog is written by a very prolific political writer from the far right of the spectrum of political thought.
Jim Pontillo does put forth some ideas that will resonate with all. I am a peacenik, but one post, Smashing Little White Dots, had me saying, “Yes!” He talks of how we used to fight wars, full tilt boogie. In World War II, we kicked butt and took names. We dropped the bomb on Japan and came out of that war as a respected world power.
Contrast this with Viet Nam, where we sacrificed a generation to guerrilla warfare and then turned tail and ran, leaving our allies in the lurch. Now, we are involved in a similar war in Iraq. We cannot win, but we are sacrificing our economy and another generation of young people . . . Why?
Mr. Pontillo makes an excellent point about appeasement:
Appeasement never accomplishes lasting peace, it exacerbates and emboldens opposition. We must impose peace. . . North Korea flips us the bird, Iran moons us, and Syria openly sponsors our terrorist enemies. . . What’s so tough? One B2 bomber mission or one missile launch from an American sub, and vuala [sic], Syria, Iran, and North Korea…nice as pie.
I agree with Jim. How can you fight an enemy that is willing to die to destroy our way of life? You must be willing to take the fight to him and to destroy his home, his family, his village, his livestock . . . his country.
For a child of the 60s, I am a bit extreme. I was talking with a friend the other day and we started talking about how to deal with Iraq and Iran. We looked at each other and said, “theme park!” Level it and put in a parking lot. LOL
You may love his blog, or hate it, but you will definitely think about what he says. Stop by and take umbrage at something Mr. Pontillo has written. He LOVES it. Tell him CyberCelt sent you.
