The Beginnings of Foriegn Policy and The Easter Bunny

Since we have just recently experienced a largely celebrated, Christian based holiday, i find it only fitting to address an important issue as we all leave our pews walk away from one of the most crowded days in Church. It has come to my attention that Easter traditions have become lax over the last several years. Each step of the way has backslide ever so slightly to keep the common eye at bay, but i promise you, this trend has become a slipperly sloap which calls for a state of alarm. You might be thinking "heretic", "blasphemer" right now, but i assure you, this is as true to tradition as a cadbury cream egg. This understated tradgedy that addresses us every time we wake up on that jewish calander based morning, the piece that has gone missing from this American past time is the solid chocolate bunny. thats right, the solid chocholate bunny. i remember years ago when i was barely old enough to remember, there were solid chocolate bunnies for every boy and girl. but now the manufacturers have realized that they can sell the same heartwarming shape for merely half of the sweet chocalaty goodness inside. at least we still have the cream filled cadbury eggs. enjoy those bunny ears kids, cuz thats the only solid part left.

and now for a breif history lesson:

Communism... it makes us shudder as free born Americans. It makes us thank our founding fathers for breaking off from England and creating a more perfect union that enables us to freely choose our own destiny, whatever it may be. And if its to go down with a ship so be it, it is our God given right as americans. and thats what im here to breifly touch on today. You see, we as Americans from early on made ourselves as the big brother to the smaller nations. Such as when we became the immovable foot on western hemisphere foriegn polocy to all thos back in Brittian. Over the years we have kept this mindset, sometimes more loosely than others. We cant just yell at America for always sticking its neck out where it doesnt belong because we didnt even join the war till the Japanese bombed pearl harbor. But of course, we no longer sat idly by, but i digress.

What im trying to say is that we as Americans do look out for the well being of the other countries on the globe, and whether or not we take swift and decisive action, we care. Over the years this big brother, take you under our bald eagle wing mentality has helped shape the bell curve of this globe. In these efforts to maintain peace and democracy for every man, woman and child, we have occasionally had to step on the toes of those who did not completely agree with our way of life. namely, the communists. As we all know, there are profound differences in the way these two systems of government work so we needent bring up the gory details.

The point of this trip down memory laine is to introduce to you where these deep seated emotions of stopping communism came from. You see, it started long before the cold war, or even before mother Russia. I tell you, it started in our own homelands before it ever reached a foriegn shore. i tell you it stated with the indians. thats right, small villages of communities that tried to share and not take anything more for themselves than they needed. they lived a simpler life that worked, but long before corporate american stormed the bay of pigs, our roots were defining the path that we would follow for the rest of our lives.

as you can cleary see from this breakthroug research, we are merely a product of our environment.
