What’s wrong with
this President? He made
Iran angry. Thank God
we have people like actress
Rose McGowan
who is pleading with
Iran not to hurt us because
the President did
a bad thing.
Maybe she should
have thought of that before
the Iranians sponsored
acts of terrorism
around the world.
Maybe she should have
begged terrorists not to
hurt us on 9/11 or in Bengazi
or on the Destroyer
Cole. Maybe she should
go there and plead her
case, but she better follow
Sharia Law.
By the way, her value
in Iran is half of that of
a man. Enjoy Rose and
thank you for begging
for our lives.
Have we not learned
anything from history?
Appeasement doesn’t
work. The rise of Adolf
Hitler is a perfect example
of the failure of
appeasement in an attempt
to avoid war.
Nazi Germany was allowed
to grow stronger
and more defi ant until
it was too late to keep
him in check. The result
was the death of 75

million people and the
inhumanity of the holocaust.
Had Hitler been
stopped immediately
things may have been
different. Ms. McGowan
maybe if you read a
book instead of your
lines you would be more
informed. It amazes me
how you get so much attention
because you’re a
wealthy actress.
A perfect example of
how appeasement is a
failure. Colin Kaepernick
was able to parley
disrespect for the American
fl ag into millions
and millions of dollars
because the gutless
NFL refused to take a
stand. Only Jerry Jones
took a stand telling his
players, if you kneel
during the Anthem
then you don’t play for
Dallas, problem solved.
A third-rate quarterback
(Kaepernick) who
tweeted, this country
only wars against
black and brown people,
now gets headlines?
The news media must
be hard up for news if
they quote the likes of
McGowan and Kaepernick.
I’m sure there’s
not a degree in political
science in sight.
I have a novel idea:
how about we show
unity as a people and
support the decision
that eliminated one of
the greatest terrorists
in the world? Listening
to some news media
you would think we just
killed Mother Teresa.
Will there be reprisals
from Iran, possibly, but
if that does occur our
response must be swift
and crippling to show
our resolve.
The fi rst thing a bully
does when called into
the principal’s offi ce is
to go out and threaten
the complainant. What
happens next is crucial.
The bullied party must
report him again and if
the school does its job
properly the problem
should be solved. If the
bullied party says nothing
because he/she is
afraid nothing changes.
Putting your head in
the sand hoping all bad
things will go away is
naïve. Evil must be confronted
rooted out and
destroyed.
No American service
man or woman should
be put in harms way
unless the cause is just
and then they deserve
the full commitment of
the American people
both Republican and
Democrat alike. Solders
should never be treated
the way they were after
returning from Vietnam.
Whether you agree
with the policy or not
those soldiers followed
orders. Politicians dictated
rules of engagement
which made a victory
all but impossible.
Politicians at home, in
warm comfortable offi
ces, held discussions
on how the war should
be fought, while our
men and women were
dying in rice patties
half a world away.
While Jane Fonda
was posing with the
enemy, parents were
getting messages that
their child was killed
in action. When these
gallant young soldiers
came home, they were
greeted with jeers, spit
upon and called baby
killers. These wounds
cut deeper than enemy
bullets. What happened
to these young men and
woman was a national
disgrace.
Using confl ict for political
gain should be
abhorrent to us all. We
have a right to voice
and argue our opinions
but, in the end, we are
all Americans and we
must stand united.
