For a Moment

.
Yesterday, President Obama visited our troops at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. While he beat his chest like the Ape Man himself for the killing of Usama himself, he did offer his gratitude for the soldiers.

Following the circus, one soldier whom had 3 sand land deployments, was asked by the media for his response to the President's visit. The Army Sergeant replied something similar to, "During my 12 years of service, I've never really understood our mission overeseas. Rules of engagement continually changed, my comrades have been imprisoned for making mistakes, and we have been forced to befriend people that we know are our enemy. But for a moment, the President's visit made me feel good because it caused us all to come together without regard to wheteher we are Democrats, Republicans, liberals, or conservative. And, that maded me proud."

The soldier's remark could not have been better made. For a moment we have come together. Flags are being waved, chanting is heard, people are rejoicing in the streets. Country Western artists will write songs, and movies will be made. There is talk of patriotism everywhere, much like we had following the 9/11 attack.

But sadly it will last just for a moment, and then we will all go on with our regular lives. Too busy to care, to get involved, to do something about the many other issues that are destroying America. We will convict our soldiers for doing the very thing that Obama did. We will turn our heads away from right to life, budget, and overspending issues. We will investigate the very CIA agents that led to the capture of bin Laden. We will continue to fund terrorists countries that burn our flag in protest.

After a moment, our politians will be right back trying to preserve their own self-interests with out regard for what is best for America.
