Sowing the Seeds of Our Own Destruction

The world is a much more dangerous place today. North Korean, a rogue regime that sells weapons to Iran and starves its people in order to feed its military, tested a nuclear bomb. It is so very important to remember why North Korea now has weapons of mass destruction: Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the twin incompetents of foreign policy, thought that it was a good idea to give North Korea, at taxpayer expense, everything it needed to become a nuclear power. Why? Because North Korea promised to use its nuclear capabilities only for good. Two people, who for 12 years were charged with looking out for America, were foolish enough to believe this lie. And here we are today.

In addition to the North Korea fiasco, the Carter presidency aided the rise of the Muslim militancy, and the Clinton presidency allowed the terrorist threat to grow unchecked. It has been shown that Democrats cannot be trusted with our national security. They don’t have the foresight to see the dangers, and they have amply demonstrated that they can be suckered by anyone.

In less than a month, Americans will go to the polls. With the Mark Foley scandal sucking up all the available oxygen, Republicans are that much closer to losing control of Congress. A Republican will be in the White House through 2008, which will be somewhat of a check should the Democrats regain the power they have so sorely missed. However, the rank partisanship the Democrats will show will be so shrill that all the dogs in America will be howling.

American taxpayers paid for North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction, even if unwittingly. If Americans are foolish enough to return government to the hands of the very people who have consistently made America less and less safe, then we will have effectively financed and voted for our own destruction.

Feel free to hate President Bush all you want, but don’t be foolish enough to cut off your nose to spite your face.
