Is the Cold War Back On?

January 19, 2011

President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao in China

This is the week of the 50^th anniversary of President Eisenhower’s famous speech in which he warned the nation to beware of what he called “the military industrial complex.” He was talking about the military leaders joining with leaders of the arms industry for the purpose of expanding their budgets in order to line their own pockets and greatly expand their power over American foreign policy.
President Eisenhower probably remembered the end of WWII, just 15 years before his speech, when the United States stood at the top of world power as no nation had ever stood before. With 12 million men under arms, the only nation with nuclear weapons and a proven disposition to use them, with Europe in ruins and the Soviet Union with millions of dead, who could challenge the United States?

Baldwin: ‘There’s a Fight Coming’

 Read all about it at: www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/article/baldwin_theres_a_fight_coming/21438/.  Constitution Party News and Information particularly appreciated the parts where Chuck, "castigated the Republican Party for failing to overturn Roe v. Wade and outlaw abortion during the six years when the White House and Congress were under GOP control..and, when asked if he was "anti-government"  replied: “I am anti-oppressive, unconstitutional government.”

People are already speculating whether Chuck Baldwin will run for Governor of Montana.  We don't know what Chuck will do, but we do know that these United States of America would be much better off if he had been elected President in 2008 and we definitley know that, with Chuck Baldiwn as its Governor, Montana would be a beacon of liberty that would give hope to freedom loving people all over the world!

This poem recounts the story of the spontaneous 1914 Christmas truce

In Flanders on the Christmas morn
The trenched foemen lay,
the German and the Briton born,
And it was Christmas Day.

The red sun rose on fields accurst,
The gray fog fled away;
But neither cared to fire the first,
For it was Christmas Day!

They called from each to each across
The hideous disarray,
For terrible has been their loss:
"Oh, this is Christmas Day!"

Their rifles all they set aside,
One impulse to obey;
'Twas just the men on either side,
Just men — and Christmas Day.

They dug the graves for all their dead
And over them did pray:
And Englishmen and Germans said:
"How strange a Christmas Day!"

Between the trenches then they met,
Shook hands, and e'en did play
At games on which their hearts were set
On happy Christmas Day.

Not all the emperors and kings,
Financiers and they
Who rule us could prevent these things —
For it was Christmas Day.

Oh ye who read this truthful rime
From Flanders, kneel and say:
God speed the time when every day
Shall be as Christmas Day.

by Frederick Niven (1878-1944)

Note: For up to two days, the guns of war fell silent as men who had been enemies only hours before, after defying officers, laid down their weapons to sing carols, exchange gifts, mementos, and traditions — and to bury the dead. For more information about the Christmas Truce of 1914, see Silent Night by Stanley Weintraub (New York: The Free Press, 2001).

Merry Christmas!!!
