Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. instilled in him by his family & mentors.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .
Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul & the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride & love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. Or its people, with deep appreciation & genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings & our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," (no he gets goose bumps when he hears the ''Muslim call to prayer" (his words) or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of " America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals & told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering & then coming to America , penniless, & the opportunities they had for building a business & life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade & eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences & doesn't really understand us & what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country & insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States & the traditions & patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better & grateful & proud that in a short time our country became a leader, & a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten & create fear while demeaning & degrading any American who opposes his policies & actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem & not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics & displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, & anxiety among the people of America , rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved & ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort & security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, & disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control & mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, & self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, & assert a dictatorial form of government.

Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm & hurt the people & this country.
Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming & trustworthy force.
Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, & quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, & the epitome of a Demagogue.

The accomplishment of which she is most proud is her volunteer work at an Army base where she looked into the eyes and hearts of the service members who protect our country.
Our Pledge of Allegiance, a military band playing the National Anthem, and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, inspire her passion and views. Her life is guided by a firm belief that truth is the most important virtue, and that God knows what He is doing with her.
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE could have described this President more accurately. This is a brief biography that articulates the man, his life and his goals perfectly!
How sad.
ReplyDeleteAmericans Greatness. What a joke. Americans should be a shame of their history. Ask the Native Americans of this country and the atrocities they endure when the first settlers came and stole their land. How about the horrors of death, broken families, rape, etc. of Africans who were brought to this country in chains and force into slavery like many generations thereafter? How about the civil war of whites against white or the North against the South? How about encampment of American Born Japanese? How about the deaths and torture of American born Citizens during the Civil Rights Movement? How about two President of the United States were shot and killed by their own citizens? How about the death of Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and Malcolm? The history of the United States is full of violence, hate, discrimination, force faith based, greed, gangster, broken promises, possibilities and maybe's. And, then we go to other countries in the world and force our own Democracy on other nations. Our leaders would probably sell the United States for a price one day. And, this may or may not go well for the populace. They claim this country is great. Or Let's make this country great again. Well, she not all that great. And, she well never be great again.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask, what you can do for this country. We have done our part in the history of the wars right here in the United States, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and other world war conflicts we have involved ourselves in. Ask yourself this, what is this country and their leaders who want to led the populace are going to do for every legally born citizens in these here United States. We sure have paid enough taxes. I say this to say, If I'm ok. I can provide for my family. If my family is ok. My community is ok. If my community is ok. My district, town and city is ok. If my district, town and city is ok. My state is ok. If my state is ok, everyone in my state have contributed to this country. Our government official, leaders and president MUST provide the tools for the individuals. This WE thing has never worked except for the rich, the famous and the powerful. People, get your heads out of the sand and vote your conscious and not, Let's Make History again.
1026 you just described the history of every country on every continent of This planet. USA is not immune not different in the respects you spoke of. Many have had a lot more bloodier pasts than America. You say it's so bad, you're welcome to leave this Ill begotten hamlet and seek a new life in a new country. For me, with all its warts and past indiscretions America is still the greatest place on earth.
ReplyDeleteAnd the same goes for the Obamas, too. I'm voting my conscience and my conscience says Trump Train Express. Election can't happen quick enough for me!

ReplyDelete10:26 Your contribution was kind of a mish-mosh and didn't indicate what lever people should pull in November to put us on whatever path you prefer.
You are correct that European settlers had some conflicts with the Indians, who by the way were also immigrants, albeit much earlier. But the Indian tribes fought among themselves, and they resisted the settlers. You would prefer to be living in a tepee?
Slavery is as old as humans, and still persists. African natives captured and sold Africans to ship captains who carried them to be sold into slavery in the Americas, here, the Caribbean and S. America. Wasn't right and most led hard lives, although life for most, slave and free, was short and rough. The movement to abolish slavery was driven by white people and most Union dead, wounded soldiers were also white. Obviously very few Union soldiers had slaves so they served and suffered for an idea.
My ancestors came here to try to improve the circumstances of their lives and for their kids; good bet same holds for your family. Most have stayed because they found opportunities to advance which were rare in their native countries. Anyone disappointed can always head back; most don't.
What made our 'melting pot' work was that new arrivals assimilated into our society and became Americans so that while enjoying their roots we came to hold a common set of values in a macro fashion.
We've had four presidents assassinated, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy; attempts were made on others. Humans resort to violence; we try to discourage it.
We're an imperfect society but a better imperfect society than others. We have room to improve but the path is via consensus and not dictates from DC.
My preferred candidate faltered in the primaries, and so did my next choice. Ultimately an unlikely candidate emerged and gathered 'yuge' support. If he slept 23 hours a day and never showered he'd still be light years better than the corrupt serial liar currently holding forth in Philly.
We have the same national attributes as before, though weakened over the past 7 1/2 years. The players (us) are good; it's the current manager and his coaches and would-be manager that stink. So, with better leadership and experienced private sector management (and he's not a lawyer) we can truly be great again!
10:26, you are so IGNORANT!
