Meriam-Webster defines the word appease in three ways: to bring to a state of peace or quiet
calm. second: to cause to subside
: allay and third:
pacify,
conciliate;
especially: to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles. Can you hear the right answer bell going "ding-ding-ding" on the third definition? This is the definition of president Obama thus far. No principles, no direction and no policy foreign or domestic. Wait, I'm sorry, Mr. Appeasement does have a foreign policy. It consists of going abroad and bashing his possible country of origin - Kenya. Sorry, I slipped up there, I meant to say the good ol' USA. And in definition three comes even more meaning. The part about buying off our enemies. Mr. A has gone one step further. He's sending our tax money to foreign countries to promote "safe sex", and "family planning". Or for those of us who speak english, abortion. So he's actually killing off those he's trying to appease which makes the job of appeasement far less tedious.
But to quote the guy who held the office prior to our appeaser-in-chief, all this "pacification" ain't worth squat. Who cares if we're loved by the French? And isn't a peace prize for somehow securing the peace? If this award actually meant something, both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher would have been shoe-ins. So this "prize" really amounts to what euro-weenies think of our new, gutless foreign policy.
Meanwhile Al Quieda must be thinking to themselves that their next attack will be too easy. They may have to pick a real country that stands for liberty like New Zealand. But this appeasement crap is the liberal way. Be nice to evil people and somehow their genetic makeup will be altered automatically. Ahmadinejad seems unimpressed with his new found legitimacy. Iran has more than just a few power plants up and running. Soon they'll be competing with North Korea for who can fire the most rockets following a major Obama foreign policy speech. Appeasement was the calling card of that loon named Carter. Who could forget the moment Ronald Reagan stepped onto the stage. Our hostages were free because their militant captors knew that Reagan would not pay them back with appeasement. Carter was such an utter disaster in so many ways.
There is little to cheer about in this scene from a Hollywood flick that likely earned great reviews but was watched by like 4 people. Americans are hurting for real right now. Our economy remains in the crapper unless you watch the glimmer of hope channel, MSNBC. Or, Mindless-Stupid-Nothingbut-Barack-Channel.It kinda works. In one year, I've seen my real wages cut in half. I've seen the dollar sinking faster than David Letterman's ratings. And yet like granite stepping stones, this president continues to walk right over the real problems that face us all. Instead of focusing on Professor Gates, The Olympics, the Final Four or which dog breed is best, maybe the president could focus on stengthening our economy and restoring America's confidence in herself! This appease-prize is a worthless acknowledgement by people who hate America, hated George W. Bush and love the fact that we are no longer a super power as long as the undecider retains power. Congratulations Mr. Prez on your noble appease prize.
