Who made us policeman of the world?

I was using a local message board today discussing politics when a anti war poster asked “Who made us policeman of the world?” I replied:
“Since terrorists flew planes into the trade center and pentagon killing almost 4000 Americans. Since Iraq violated 17 treaties set in the Gulf War. Since these countries harbor terrorists, starve children, and degrade women. Since their religion teaches them to hate us, the infidels. It is not over, they will attack again. But hey, lets all hold hands and smoke a joint and chant, they may go away. Let’s disarm our military and let the UN protect us. Maybe we can get our French pal Jacques Chirac to be king. I am amazed at where our country is headed. The gay marriage thing, abortion, and taking God out of everything. This country was founded on God’s word. The liberals have twisted Freedom of Religion in to something it is not. I will quote George Washington from his farewell address and he had the Bible, not the Koran in mind when he spoke these great words:
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
These words should be posted everywhere.
In The News: A popular professor at Central Florida Community College who argued with her estranged husband on July 4 in an Ocala, Florida parking lot and then drove to police headquarters to get help, only to find the station empty and locked. Debra Vazquez was shot and killed in front of the police station by her husband, who then committed suicide. She was 50 years old. Her shooting has prompted a policy change that requires an officer to be on duty at the station 24 hours a day. Can you believe that? WoW!!
Moving On: Isabel Sanford - Popular actress who played Louise "Weezie" Jefferson on the long running sitcom "The Jeffersons," whose television and movie acting career included appearances in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", "All in the Family," and most recently on commercials for Denny's restaurants and retailer Old Navy, who was the first (and only) African American woman to receive an Emmy for best actress in a comedy series, and this year received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, died of natural causes on July 9 in Los Angeles, CA, ten months after undergoing neck surgery which had affected her health. She was 86 years old. I really liked her acting and spent many an evening laughing at the Jeffersons.
