My mad cow is flaring...

I'm thankful I don't live in a big city. My reasons are somewhat changing as the days go by. Today, it's because I have this paranoid dillusion that we may experience another terrorist enemy combatant attack in the not so distant future. Normally, targets are highly populated areas which I visit infrequently.

I don't feel safer under the protection of the current administration. I think President Bush made several disasterous mistakes during his term as POTUS, but keeping America safe from terrorist attacks was not one of them. The Arab world respects strength and despise weakness. I don't believe President Obama commands the same respect as did Bush; and to me, that is an invitation for disaster.

Our President is changing policy regarding Homeland Security, shutting down Gitmo and apologizing to the world for American's arrogance and reaction to the 9/11 attack; as well as showing submission and bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia. This does not demonstrate a strong, confident leader of a great nation. A street corner beggar has more confidence, dignity and pride!

Even the President of wishy-washy France commented on President Obama’s weakness, “…he was elected two months ago and had never run a ministry. There are a certain number of things on which he has no position. And he is not always up to standard on decision-making and efficiency.”

When asked how he would react to another terrorist attack on the US, President Obama's first concern was making sure he didn't alienate other countries. That's a "Why Can't We Be Friends" response. I don't think the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Hamas or even Somali pirates are worried about how the US will respond under his leadership.

In an ABC interview, Obama said the government can crack down on terrorists “within the constraints of the Constitution.” The President has picked one helluva subject to be concerned about the parameters of the US Constitution.

Yesterday, President Obama allowed CIA interrogation techniques be made public; endangering our country. "Publicizing the techniques does grave damage to our national security by ensuring they can never be used again — even in a ticking-time- bomb scenario where thousands or even millions of American lives are at stake." Politico

It must be the mad cow that provokes this lunacy. The horror of martial law after a terrorist attack(s) and the President establishing "control over all US citizens, businesses, and churches in time of "emergency" (Executive Order 11490) is not a pleasant thought.

I don't stay awake nights worrying about another terrorist attack. I don't live in fear of death. I want America to succeed and prosper, but I'm concerned for our safety. Our military sacrifice their lives on a daily basis to preserve that safety, for which I'm eternally grateful. We don't have to be victimized, it's the choice of our leaders; which I pray for daily.

Does this make me a radical, right-wing extremist?
