BAM! WATCH: Pompeo Bluntly Tells Europe: ‘Name Me A Moment In History When The Weak And The Meek Have Prevailed’
By Pamela Geller - on February 18, 2020
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threw down the gauntlet to other Western countries, asserting, “Over the past few years, I’ve seen, we’ve all seen, democratic leaders questioning America’s commitment to the transatlantic alliance and America’s leadership in the world.â€
Pompeo cited some quotes from Western leaders, including Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland saying in June 2017, “The fact that our friend and ally has come to question the very worth of its mantle of global leadership, puts into sharper focus the need for the rest of us to set our own clear and sovereign course.â€

[quoteLet’s start with a simple fact: Free nations are simply more successful than any other model that’s been tried in the history of civilization. Our governments respect basic human rights, they foster economic prosperity, and they keep us all secure. It’s why so many people risk a dangerous journey across the Mediterranean to reach Greece and Italy, but you don’t see the world’s vulnerable people risking their lives to skip illegally en masse to countries like Iran or to Cuba.][/quote]
@rangerrebew

Well they are coming here for freedom - for themselves. They never promised the same for the rest of us.

@skeeter
I disagree. The whole concept of freedom scares the hell out of them. What they want is to be slaves,and to make everyone else a slave,too.

@roamer_1
I guess one way of defining "prevailed" is to run away,but that's not the normal sense of the word.

Early Christians? They were martyred, but definitely 'prevailed.'

@sneakypete
Pharaoh and his army drowned... Seems they did the right thing. 'Let Go and Let God', in capital letters.

I don't think the decision to throw off the Egyptian yoke and march to the Promised Land was either weak or meek.
But even if it was...that took the open hand of God coming down to part the Red Sea, to prevent the Jews from being killed or recaptured. I'd prefer if our foreign policy wasn't dependent on direct divine intervention on that scale to be successful.

So, the Knights Templar were meek and mild?
The Crusades were meek and mild?
The Allied Forces in WWII were meek and mild?
It takes a lot to provoke Christians. But once they get pissed, there is no more meek and mild.
They used to rain hell down on the Muslim barbarians. Now, most Christians just want to friends with the Jihadists.

I was referring to the Apostles and first century Christians who were fed to the lions, cut in two, crucified, hung upside down, tortured, and killed for their faith.
They were humble, but they definitely prevailed, because they spread the Good news throughout the world.

I would submit that in the end, it is the Father's hand that protects us, and not our armies - Which was the point I meant to raise in the first place.

Ergo, "The Meek shall inherit the Earth".
And many of us here in the U.S. are descendents of "Early Christians".
And we aim to keep it. wink777
