The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....

They are more committed than we are...

Could be. If this is true, the only thing it proves is that they are more committed than we are.

Because they are led from the top down. Strong leadership with crystal clear focus.
Whereas in the west...well, we all know so no need to state the obvious.
Consider a new story, that of the Chicago street walker who recently visited the Pentagon. His reason as given to the public is he wanted to see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears why the seemingly disconnect between the WH and the Pentagon. Apparently the WH soothsayers are not properly keeping the usurper informed. The result is as expected, according to the jerk the Pentagon is not on the same page. Well, duh. But implied is the exec admin can do no wrong, always someone else at fault. That guy has zero problem with throwing the DoD under the bus. Never mind that the problem apparently originated with WH staff. File this under Plausible Deniability. Unasked so far is why can not the exec maintain control of his staff. My answer is because that is the wrong question because the problem never was with the staff. The problem lies solely within the realm of gross incompetence and that of this guy who occupies the office of the President. He is all three of the monkeys and feigns to come out unblemished.
2nd story; the bodies of the San Bernardino shooters are still in the county morgue. Well, remember the reason given for swiftly disposing bin Laden's body (according to islam the body must be buried within 24 hours). Yet what of these two shooters? If this isn't a damning evidence of deceit emanating from the WH I don't know what is. The truth shall always come to daylight.
* The exec himself originally said that WH staff was at least complicit in the creation of the disconnect between WH and Pentagon. That is why I dwelled on the WH staffers.
Our government tells us what they want us to hear, whether true or not...
There are a lot of people out there who believe everything that the government tells them, whether true or not, simply because it is the government. :)

I doubt most Americans really have a clue what's going on outside their immediate sight range. When I listen to some "on the street" interviews I get a very low opinion of the average capacity for keeping up with events. Most of them can tell you who won what ball game, though.
If one is reduced to having but one friend in the world yet they are fully aware that that friend lies and cheats are they still a friend? So it goes to say 'our' government. The got lies and cheats but as it is the only govt we have then shall we pronounce it as ours?
An emphatic no is the answer. There are many viable alternatives. The question then is if the citizenry has the guts to choose any of the alternatives. But hey, free stuff.... And the patriot becomes a relic of a past age.

Thanks for your comment! :)

Agreed. Americans don't know, and don't care to know, what is going on around them. Sad.

You're right... Too many are unwilling to give up the free stuff. That will be their demise.
I kind of wish I didn't know what's going on. I think my blood pressure would be much lower.
You are probably right. :)
