Love it or leave it

I’m amazed at the abysmal ignorance of Americans who think they know what’s best for America. A prime example is the letter, ‘”Irresponsible’ choice” by Kent Price (BDN, Sept. 10). It took a decade and 17 U.N. resolutions to get Iraq’s dictator to disarm.

Weapons scientists from Russia, France and Germany were in the country setting up chem-bio plants, assembling specialized equipment for nuclear weapons. Hussein was only a year away from manufacture of weaponized radioactive isotopes – also could readily have bought nuclear bombs from former Soviet republics.

Hussein was walking in King Nebuchadnezzar’s footsteps in Iraq. Freedom-loving countries must pre-empt the destructive plans of rogue nations to preserve liberty.

So we have a fiery, loyal, true patriot come on the national scene as a moral scrubbing cleanser and vile, stinking moral corruption and she is welcomed as an irresponsible upstart. America was established to function magnificently only for God-loving, fearing worshiping citizens.

So, if folks dislike Sarah Palin’s brand of blue-blood patriotism, please do us all a favor and go live where a leader plays your tune of nationalism.
