Hey, I'm Anti-War, Too!

By Arlene Peck

Just because I am against war, doesn’t mean that I can’t see the necessity of fighting one... especially when I realize that I am watching a wave of savage 7th century barbarians climbing over the hill ready to kill everyone in sight. I just happen to be a little more basic in my thinking than what I am seeing in most of the press and for sure the political pundits in the EU and United Nations. We have an enemy that wants to kill us. And, when I say “us” I, am talking about our entire western culture. Israel doesn’t have a thing to do about it except that they are a modern democratic country living in a bad neighborhood, surrounded by a savage culture that has been carefully nurtured on hatred and survives on submission. Do you remember when we lived 'normal' lives and were not consumed 24/7 with pictures of raging savages with fists raised shouting "Jihad" "Jihad?”

We have turned the men in this country into such feminized versions of manhood that they have no conception of what war really is. All the new pretty boys and soft-core-feminist news commentators need is that they look like Sophia Loren and be about 20 years old. Gone are the Walter Cronkites or Edward R. Morrows who actually had a grasp of history and the “big picture" and recognized the realities of war. The new ‘think tanks’ deliver split screen ‘debates’ between groups of men or women who have never even seen battle beyond the ROTC. Yet, they know, with absolute conviction, that all Israel has to do to stop this war of aggression against them is to ‘cease fire’ and put another group of unfriendly and incompetent United Nations ‘soldiers’ along their borders , and it will magically all go away.

Our country is filled with wimps; so-called men who, in my opinion, couldn’t have gotten a date for the prom but feel so assured of their politically correct positions that they are giving advice about how to run a war. A war, incidentally, that should never run over two weeks time. Gawd! What happened to our men? Real men, like those of my father's era, who fought in the Second World War and never had a problem with their identity. They knew who the enemy was and what they had to do about it. The war they fought didn’t have a deadline of two weeks!

Today, some political pundit gets in front of the camera and tells us with complete authority that "Folks, this conflict is going to have to go on another couple of weeks"

I think it first happened when the magazines begin to convince them that it was a ‘manly’ thing to shave their chest and body parts so they could have ‘’carved abs’. Hell, I’ll bet the men in Israel still have hairy chests. I will not be surprised if I opened GQ one day and saw that they had managed to removed the belly button as the ultimate rejection of motherhood. However, I digress.

Maybe because I have actually been to the area a couple of dozen times and visited many of the Arab countries… including Lebanon in June of 1982, as a journalist covering the IDF and again in 1993, that I was able to see with my own eyes what a sick society the Jewish state is actually fighting. Now, I don't have to go so far to see what the Israelis live with every day. All one has to do is walk into any of your local mosques and listen to what they are saying... here! In America!

Last year, I spent a few hours listening to what this “gentle” nation was saying at a mosque here, in Los Angeles. Granted, they did not tell their well-dressed western audience to go out and kill everyone who is not one of them, as, I have no doubt, is the case with Imams in Arab countries. They were more sophisticated than that. They gave "sermons" telling the audience that their job was to go back to their homes and channel their “American” children into educational tracks leading to occupations such as journalism and politics , because those are the areas they need to ‘infiltrate’ to get their point across. Folks, that is what scares the living bee-gees out of me! Because a lot of our media reporting looks like they have done just that!

I have a friend who told me about her return last year to her hometown of Dearborn, Michigan for a class reunion. She even went back to her school for the obligatory visit. Rhona was astounded! Gone were the cheerleaders and girls in tight jeans. Headscarves and clothes that completely covered the female students have now replaced them. Dearborn Michigan! That was her moment of truth.

However, I truly believe that only a few of my fellow Americans are ‘getting’ it. The rest I just chalk up to basic Anti-Semitism. They have already welcomed the Muslims into their countries and are becoming Islamic dominated nations. Already their children are being indoctrinated by this death cult, which lives for death, in anticipation of their seventy-two virgins.

I am at the point that I don't have the slightest clue for whom to cast my vote in the next election. I've long been a fan of Joseph Farah, the founder and editor of World Net Daily, and I completely agree with what he wrote in a recent article. "Personally, I don't think Republicans or Democrats truly get it when it comes to the Mideast. The last U.S. president who comprehended Israel's value as an ally against Islamic-fascism was President Reagan." I couldn't agree more with his thinking that if it weren't for the evangelical component of the Republican Party, and the religious right it contains, U.S. politicians would have abandoned Israel long ago. Now I understand why the left is so determined to shut down "the religious right!"

The Democrats seem to have no policy except that of staying neutral and being available to 'give a hug' and form a support group when necessary. They seem to adhere to a policy of staying separate from the conflict so as not to acknowledge the fact that we are in a war of good vs. evil that will destroy us all, if we lose! I live in fear that neither party actually “gets it!”

I grew up believing that America stood for something. When did we turn into a nation that embraces all that is hell bent on destroying everything that America stands for?
