All enemies, foreign and domestic ~ By Erik Rush

By Erik Rush Posted: October 01, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Ever get really drunk and wake up the next morning with a truly scary president? I did, a couple of times. I mean, I didn't wake up in bed with them, but you get the point. Mercifully, I didn't know at the time how scary they'd actually wind up being – but I found out soon enough. That's similar to what happened on Jan. 21, 2009. This time, I hadn't been drunk the night before, but I knew how scary the president would be right from the start. Last week in this space, I evaluated some of President Obama's milquetoasty rhetoric at the United Nations General Assembly. As the meeting progressed, it only got worse, with our president reviving 1970s namby-pamby overtures toward nuclear disarmament. If the issue didn't have the potential to result in millions of incinerated human beings, I would have been doubled up on the ground, laughing uproariously. We've seen this sort of thing before with Democrat administrations. Don't get me wrong; the Republican Party leadership definitely deserves to have the soles of their feet beaten for the abysmal leadership they provided when they had the White House and a congressional majority. But for the last 30 years, Democrat administrations have done nothing but a collective ankle grab as regards foreign policy – and our enemies have always been quick to take advantage of it. Last week, I also touched on some of my earlier excursions into the foreign-policy debate, and intimated that a doctrine of allowing other nations to run themselves off the rails is fine in so far as they don't threaten anyone else. Some currently do threaten us, and we have fallen short in addressing same. I believe that this guideline applies to aspects of our domestic situation as well. As a society, we've pretty much decided that allowing Americans of other belief systems or mores to run their lives off the rails is acceptable. Once more, concerning the in so far as they don't threaten anyone else part, we have again fallen short. To a degree, this is because we have allowed some of those who choose to run their lives off the rails to set the agenda. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]
