    Why can the Russian bombers fly over American Territory with Nuclear Bombs and Missiles with zero penalty or reaction? Why can North Korea threaten the US, South Korea Japan and others with Nuclear Missiles and bombs with no penalty or reaction? Why has an American Ambassador been murdered by Osama ben Laden's Al What Ever They Are and the Great Pretender and the fair lady Clinton can lie to us and nothing happens?

    Did the American People all roll over and die during LBJ's misbegotten reign?

    It looks....

    ...like the peaceniks have finally infiltrated the government to the point of making us a toothless lion!

    I hate to say this, but when Obama says he will stand with Israel should Iran bomb them, I think he means he'll stand in the war room and watch the action, and like in Benghazi, let the cookie crumble as it may.

    This nation is only as weak as it's leaders, and right now, the leaders in DC are weak and complacent when it comes to defending our freedom. Obama's administration, Hollywood, and the leaning [so far to the left that they are no laying on the ground] liberals are willing to give away the farm to everyone from the "entitled Americns," gun-control-freaks, illegal aliens, gays, Ruskies, Chinese, North Koreans, Arabs, Radical Muslims, and whomever else you can think of; and that should scare the heck out of all those who believe that all is right in our nation.

    You know Bill, the Marines and Navy Seals [and all military branches] have a slogan that the Commander-in-Chief seems to have all but forgotten or swept under the rug: "No one left behind!" Well, he left four behind in Benghazi, and I really believe that he'll leave a few hundred million Americans and Israelis behind if it means keeping his ideals free from any kind of war.

    I know we heard this before, but, as an American who is beyond the point of "concerned," I think we need to impeach and, or recall every leader in America. I'm sure our founding fathers would not have put up with what is going on, and I know you and I have had our fill! I say, "Thanks Bill for saying like it is!" :applause:

    LBJ tried to have guns and butter and failed. The public noticed that he had a credibility gap and he lost his popularity.

    In the case of Obama, it is considered racist to criticize him on the national stage. The GOP has failed to even introduce a bill of impeachment on Libya. You would think that the GOP would have one representative who would demand an answer and toss a bill into the hopper calling for an impeachment trial.

    Focus on Jesus for your sozo, not political leaders.

    I spent eight years on my Huey, thirty months in Vietnam and I earned my Air Medal just under eleven times. As a Killer Spade we lived by the code, "Leave no man behind," and to this day the strangest people find me to say thanks. On one board there is a former Major that arrived, in country, just as I left and he knew my name... wierd! He said that Killer Spade 806 and her entire crew was known as the maniacs that didn't know how to give up and the memories of my Pilot (Died Thanks-Giving Day of the year I came home) my Co-Pilot, died just before I left and my crazy Gunner on the Right Door (Killed three months after I left bring great tears to my eyes... They were all of the opinion that an old man (24) like me needed to exercise his right as the companies senior Crew Cheif and stand down but how does any man let brave nuts like that fly alone?

    I do not understand this self serving, narrow focused point of view these people claiming Christ spout today. My Bible still says to fear nothing and to serve God and His purpose without fear.

    God bless my brother.

    Brother, if we focus on our Savior, it is impossible to ignore our leaders.

    AMEN

    Ephesians 6:10-18 plainly tells us that. I've already quoted those verses in another thread this morning. Applies here, as well.

    The Russian bombers did not "fly over American Territory". They were over international waters, but no doubt testing us as happens all the time between Russia and the US. American jets scrambled and intercepted as usual.

    As for North Korea, their bluster is like a child throwing a tantrum, yelling "look at me!". They warrant monitoring, but why give them more attention than they deserve?

    Sin Loi!

    Not knowing your history your post strikes me as one looking for an altercation instead of discussion and that's not Christ-like. The laqnd masses and that portion of the Pacific is not one of the states as is Hawaii but there are very good reasons for American, United States of America American, bases there.

    The US has long shunned the Empire Model of rule but if you ask any of those folks (some liking our presence and sme not) they will explain to you that the Russians and the Chinese know the area as American Territory. Your attempt to rationalize a Russian attempt to engage us on their terms is ill conceived and not at all well considered.

    The biggest difference is that MP is correct where you are not.

    No doubt you were right there in the middle of the war.
