No Syria For America

This is the second article that I have posted about the conflict in Syria. Obama said that it would not be like the strikes in other Middle East Countries. The American people cannot believe that statement because for the most part it is the same words that we have heard before about the Middle East.

Secretary of State John Kerry has said more than once that Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian (Syria’s leader) used chemical weapons against civilians is “undeniable,” Kerry said the poison gas attack last week in, Syria, is a “moral obscenity. But the reaction of most Americans is; a U.S. military strike on the Syrian government or its military would be the wrong answer. There is little doubt that Assad and the rebels are both guilty of war crimes, including bombing, displacing and raping civilians. To date, Syria’s civil war is believed to have claimed more than 100,000 lives. The uprising against Assad began 29 months ago as mostly a peaceful demonstration to protest Assad. This happened in the midst of other Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East which Obama was all for.

Although these protest would not have been nearly as dangerous to U.S. interests as the use of chemical weapons Obama should have stepped in then but he waited for the Muslim Brother Hood to get heavy involved before he decided to take action and then went to the side that the Muslim Brother Hood is on and that is completely insane. All Americans should be able to plainly say; people we have a problem here” and lets not go there.

Any intervention by Obama should require a careful strategy and plan of action if an intervention is even warranted. Where the Middle East is concerned there is not much in the way of a policy from the Obama administration, except that he seems to always want to side with whatever side the Muslim Brother Hood is on. The al-Qaida factions fighting alongside the same Syrian rebels that Obama wants to support are responsible for the deaths of more than 6,700 Americans which have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. But Obama and people like Kerry want to support such people as the Muslim Brother Hood. For a fact both sides are about the same. Both hate America and both are capable of using chemical weapons or for those matter nuclear weapons.

All Americans should keep in mind that civil wars in the Middle East have lasted, in some cases, for decades. In many ways, such civil wars never really end and they have been going on since Biblical times and even though there might be a truce it is almost always short lived. It is no big surprise or great wonder that the number of Americans who support and back Obama for American intervention in Syria is even lower than the approval rating for Congress. Now that is something to think about! According to a Reuter’s poll only nine percent of the American people want the U.S. to intervene. That is because the majority of the American people knows it would be useless and it would only be aiding the people who hate us.

Unless the American people are willing to go to the extent of sacrificing this nation’s sons and daughters in yet another Middle East conflict where more of our sons and daughters will die or be maimed, the calls for intervention, by Obama and such people as Kerry ought not to be heeded.

From A Line In The Sand To A Debate In Congress

clip_image001Obama has to be the most careless president that the American people have ever had or else he knows exactly what he is doing during his term as president (destroying America) and even more so about the situation in Syria. Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is the military action, that Obama wants, supposed to accomplish? What great thing will it do? And what is the probability that it will in fact bring about whatever that unknown goal might be? The Syrian government and rebels have killed over 100,000 people during the past two plus years of civil war.

All of a sudden after shooting off his mouth about Syria, Obama for some reason made an about face and is now demanding that Congress approve his plan to attack Syria. Obama most likely would already have attacked Syria, without any thought, at all about Congress’s approval or what they think, but he also plays the blame game. That has been the way he has done with any other issue or business he has wanted done. He does all his business, like all narcissistic people do, by executive order.

Most Americans are unwilling and do not want to begin yet another military intervention in another Mideast civil war. More boots on the ground to die and for what? Those people, in the Middle East have been fighting among themselves for centuries and they will be fighting until Jesus comes. Most of the middle east, except Israel, hates the United States so why are we even going there?

We should not back any side in Syria. The leader of Syria is evil, hates the American people, hates Israel, and hates Christians. The other side has the Muslim Brother Hood and we all know what they are. They also hate America, Christians, and Israel. Obama backed the Muslim Brother Hood in Egypt and what do we have now? CHAOS. Why would any American president want to back a group of people, like the Muslim Brother Hood who hate Americans? Like I said he knows what he is doing.

Obama’s is a narcissistic about what he thinks his superiority to Congress. He considers it insignificant as to what congress thinks about what he wants. He finally has matched his hypocrisy and two-facedness regarding his absolute and completely narcissistic understandings of the proper guidelines regarding use of military force. Now he asks from the Congress, who he despises, an authorization he considers of great importance. And surely he understands that congress might deny his request for the approval that he has sought, then being that he is a big time narcissistic he might treat the denial from congress as neither here nor there and just do what he wants anyway. Obama is the infection against what he wants everybody to believe that he is the immunization for. He is becoming a bigger joke to most word leaders every day. We can only hope that he does not destroy this country before he gets out of office.

In the Illinois Legislature, before he was elected president, he voted “present” 129 times to avoid difficulties of making a decision; then he steps down from his perch to lecturer Congress on accountability. When will the American people or congress ever hold him accountable? Obama wants Congress to give him the okay to make war against Syria, but for everything else he insists that, given the urgency of everything he wants, he “can’t wait” for Congress to vote for his programs or to confirm persons he nominates to put his failing programs in place. The intrinsic worth of his policies is, according to him, are self-evident, needed, sufficient and he has given good enough reason for him to impose them by executive decrees. (You know like dictator)

He reprimands Congress about Syria and wants them as a partner while he is talking about accountability. He needs congress so he can play the blame game if something goes wrong or for any failure that might happen in Syria because this is one thing that he cannot blame Bush. As we all know Obama is never wrong.

Let Allah Take Care of It

The whole world is waiting to see what Obama will do about the situation in Syria. Most of the world has warned Obama not to use any military force against the Syrian government and that doing so could result in punitive retaliation. The British parliament voted not to take any action against the Syrian government because there was no smoking gun evidence against them, so, will somebody, please tell me why Obama wants to bomb Syria? Why would Obama or any American want to help either side in that country? The truth of the whole matter is this: Does anyone really know for sure who is doing the killing with chemical weapons in Syria. The truth is either side would use the chemical weapons if they had them and had the opportunity. The question to be asked is why Obama is so willing and ready to help the people in that country that oppose the Syrian government. Those same people, for the most part, are the very people that hate Americans and will sooner or later try to kill us. They would have no problem in using chemical weapons on America.

The smart thing to do is let Allah, not Obama, straighten things out in Syria. With Obama, it seems that whatever side the Muslim Brotherhood is on that is the same side Obama takes. The same thing happened in Egypt he took the Muslim brotherhood's side. Why take the side of people that hate you and want to see you destroyed? There has to be a reason behind it because there is no reason for Obama's intent to wage war without a strong rationale for his reason to validate such a war and there is no reason to bomb Syria just because Syrians are in a war with each other.

Obama's foreign policy strategy is all wrong. For one thing he has no foreign policy except one that is for the people that hate us and against the people that are our friends. There are two questions to be asked regarding Obama's intended help for Syria. The first question is whether or not such action, as Obama proposes, would help the Syrian people or the Muslim brotherhood and the second question is what impact, if any, an attack on Syria would have on United States national security.

Obama wants to punish evil acts (not really sure if that is the real reason) in the form of an air strike on Syria to serve as a deterrent but the fact of the matter is the United States, along with other countries, invasion of Iraq with a massive army of foot soldiers, tanks, airplanes, and warships wasn't enough of a deterrent to stop evil men from using chemical weapons on their own people, why should Obama think this will be?" There is no clear mission in Syria. What important American interests are we protecting? NONE

What we are really seeing is still another struggle between violent radical Islamists that has been an ongoing problem in that area of the world for hundreds of years and that will be going on until time ends in this world. The United States has no business getting involved in Syria or anywhere without first asking what is the vital interest here. Obama needs to give the American people some sort of validation before he intervenes in Syria. Starting with asking Obama who is he really behind in all this?" That question is easy to answer, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

Either the information is blatantly wrong about who used the gas for the mass destruction of the people or it is as made up and phony as Barack Obama's personal background and we all know how phony that is. This also implores one to ask why Obama would go to such measures to manufacture or invent evidence just to go to war against his half-brother's employer, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. With Obama it makes a person wonder.

The Liberal Newspapers


I recently read in an editorial by a liberal newspaper that stated the people who oppose the United Nations treaty on banning firearms are merely misled and are deceived, or they are trying to scam the American people. Sad to say the liberal newspaper is the one doing the scamming and the deceiving. They only tell the people what they want the people to hear and they also tell it in a deceiving way. They always seem to leave something out of their reporting.
Missing from the article that I read was the fact of what our constitution reveals, to the American people, in Article VI:
"This constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
What if this "archaic (outdated and pre-historic) document, that is known as our constitution" as Obama proclaimed, when he was a member of congress, and declared to the American people in 2008, is ignored and overlooked. How will the judges, in this country, rule on this new law that the United Nations Wants to impose on the American people if they believe the constitution is a "changing document" and how will they decide what the foundering fathers meant?There are two things that Obama and his liberal friends would like to change and that is the Bible (which will always be because God's Word changes not) and the constitution of these United States which the American people have lived by for hundreds of years. I submit that the liberal news. The liberals, and Obama are the ones that are mislead.
The editorial then mentions that the treaty says small arms would be managed and controlled by "international standards." It also quotes that the treaty "recognizes the right of nations to control arms within their own territory." Recently, we have heard politicians say that if they had the votes, they would tell the American people to "turn all their guns in. So much or the constitution.
Lastly, it informed the American people that this treaty will make no difference one way or the other. So my question is to the liberal newspaper, Obama, and the liberals is this, why have it? Why has such a treaty if it makes no difference? The truth of the matter is nations that do not get all the facts before passing new laws never make a good example for the rest of this world.

Sequester Is It Helping Or Hurting

It seems like all that we here anymore is one piece of bad news after another piece of bad news but here is some good news for the American people. The sequester that was put into place to restore the budget came as a direct result of the breakdown and failure of the super committee (The committee that was a big joke) to reach a budget agreement, is working and is bringing this country’s federal budget lower, everyday heading to a balanced budget without damaging or hurting the country. A lot more has to be done but it is a good start.

Earlier this year Obama predicted and tried to use scare tactics by saying that when the sequester started disaster would come to America (He is the only disaster to this country) He went on to point out a few of what he said would be the disasters:

· Aircraft departures would be backed up for hours. (The backups are no different than they ever were in our recent history.

· Social security payments would be late. (A big scare Tactic. How many times has he used this to scare the senior citizens)

· No federal permits could be issued. (Most federal permits are a waste of time and are just another way of government control.)

· Crime would escalate and increase. (What a statement to make when crime in America is out of control everyday and it is blamed on anything but the true cause. Until crime is addressed for what it is there will always be an increase in crime.

· Military training would end. (Recruits are being trained every day just as before. There have been no great cuts so far)

· America’s food supply would no longer be inspected or regulated.

· Hordes of illegals would cross the border illegally. ( Guess what Obama, hordes crossed over our border everyday before the sequester and they are still pouring over every day. You never did anything then or now to stop it so don’t blame it on the sequester.)

It has been six months since the sequester and with just a few minor changes most of the American people had not noticed any change. The demagogue from the White House is the same old, same old. That is because Obama and the liberals in Congress want to spend and keep on spending your money. Most people can see that we can actually cut the federal and the world does not end.

As we all know Obama will try to claim credit for the narrowing deficits due to something he did. The American people should not believe a word of his phony claims. Because if it has not been for the sequester Obama would have kept right on spending our money.

Is It Boredom Or Is It Evil

According to the police reports three teenage boys from Oklahoma were, “bored.” So they chose to do something to get over being bored, so they decided to murder the man who was jogging past them. They got in their car, they followed him, and did just that. They murdered him with no remorse and with a “Who cares attitude”.

The district attorney described the youngest, the 15-year-old, as having treated the murder as a “joke.” It was reported that he danced as he was booked. The 16-year-old, the one who pulled the trigger, showed no emotion, no feelings, or reaction when he was charged with first-degree murder. Only the 17-year-old had something to say. When the state prosecutor told him of the long prison sentence he is facing the young man responded by saying: “So what, I didn’t pull the trigger”. No remorse, no feelings, just a I do not care attitude.

I’m trying to choose my words carefully as I pen this article because. If the facts of what happen are given to the court are found to be true, these boys are pure evil and should rot in Hades forever for what they did. But will they rot in Hades or even go to jail? And if they go to a jail how long will they stay because they are juveniles.

Now, to get to the point of my thoughts and to get even nastier and more unpleasant . The (apparent) killers are African-American, so you will not hear that much from the press about the brutal crime, unless it is Fox News doing the reporting. The victim was a young Australian baseball player (A white male) who attended college in Oklahoma. The three violent beasts (again, assuming these facts to be true) I’m sure we will be told, are empty and hopeless. There will be all kinds of excuses made for them when in fact there is no excuse for the murder they committed.

Can this be called a hate crime. Was the victim selected by these punks because of his race? Does it really matter? Murder is murder. It doesn’t get much plainer than that. Nothing can be worse or uglier than the unprovoked, cold-blooded murder of an innocent victim that is chosen at random. And that is exactly what happened!

Anyone who was the least bit outraged by the killing of Trayvon Martin should be screaming like they did at the killing of Martin. The sad thing is they are not and it makes me wonder whether they ever will. Where is Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? Why have they not said anything? The sure spoke out about Trayvon Martin. The truth is it because the person who was shot was white and the ones who did it are black?

It would be nice if Obama would tell the public what he thinks of this brutal murder. He sure had plenty to say about Trayvon Martin. Can he identify with the parents of the kid who went for a jog and ended up dead? Could he have a son like him? No, he doesn’t look anything like Obama would have at 15 years old, at least by the color of his skin, but that isn’t what really matters, is it? Obama has said nothing about this horrible crime. The whole point about this is that these teenagers, no matter, what their age is, they have no relationship to Obama when he was their age. Evil comes in all shapes and sizes and colors. When we see it, we need to call it for what it is, “EVIL”

The news said that two of the boys had difficult and hard lives. I got news for them, so have a lot of us but we never murdered anyone. The mother of the 15-year-old is in jail. Last year, the 16-year-old lost both his stepfather and his brother. So how did he lose them? Was it a sickness or was it murder? The fact is (and there is no mean intent here), the loss did not make these kids any better people and they are no different from anybody else. We all have choices.

Could it be possible that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? Is that statement a cruel one to make? Maybe so. But we are talking here about the pure evil of three young people murdering a person for no reason at all except they were bored, in this case bored to death and according to the police they were on their way to another home to commit, yet, another murder when they were caught. So what is more cruel, my statement or their cruel act of murder and their wanting to murder yet another person. A whole lot of people will have plenty to say about my statement but they will never open their mouth about these kids who brutally murdered the jogger.

Plenty of disadvantaged kids grow up besieged by all forms of needs that they are deprived of but they would never kill a person because they are having a boring day. They know, deep down in their heart what the difference is between good and evil. Many kids grow up with bad parents and bad families and bad problems, but they don’t murder a person who is out for a jog just because they are bored. It is not a black or white issue. Evil doesn’t have a color. Evil is evil. It is a wickedness that grows more out of control in this country every day.

Some people will blame the crime on the gun when the real blame should rest on those teenagers and for the most part how they were raised. The bottom line is this crime is not really a black or white issue. A lot of white people would like to have it that way, just like when a white person kills a black person. When are people going to see it for what it is “EVIL”

al Qaida On The Run

Can you remember when the Democratic Party and the liberal press were so upset by the showing off of president Bush for arriving on an American aircraft carrier, in the back seat of a jet fighter even though he had been a capable and certified fighter pilot. When the fight in Iraq continued, the liberal press continually and without end wore out the carrier landing with Bush in the back seat of a jet fighter and the carrier’s banner that was displayed. The press had a big to-do over that and it took them a long time to put it to rest.
The question that needs to be asked is What happened In the 2012 presidential election? Where was the press and where are they now when Obama proclaimed and broadcasted over the news media to the American people his own “Mission Accomplished” statement in declaring al Qaida was on the run and that the war on terror for all intents and purposes was over. Republicans and some doubting Thomas’ in the news outlets questioned the claim, but the liberal press did not question the statement at all but, in fact they relished the statement Obama made and made a big to-do over it. There was much to do over his statement.
The sad thing about this is the claim by our so called leader should have been identified by the press for what it was, not true, and brought to the light as a false statement when last September the Islamic terrorist attacked the Benghazi complex and killed our ambassador and several other Americans, but Obama and Hilary fabricated the story, to suit their purposes and their agenda calling it a peaceful demonstration that got out of hand and then went out of control. The whole truth of this matter has never come to the light and most likely never will as long as Obama is in office. But the news reporters in this country keep giving Obama a pass.
Then we must not forget the Boston Marathon bombings, and the people who were maimed and murdered there by Islamic terrorists. Currently our embassies all over the Middle East were closed just because of assumed attacks, that might happen, by the defeated terrorists who are on the run (as Obama calls them). The American people need to take Obama and the liberal press to task for his dishonest and deceiving claim and the liberal press for how they report things to the American people.
The truth of the matter, which you will not hear from Obama or his administration is the Islamic jihad Against the American people and the country that most Americans love so dearly continues with no end in sight and a we have a president who wants the American people to think that al Qaida is on the run. – Really—For all intent and purposes by the looks of things al Qaida has this administration on the run.

Just The Facts

just-the-facts_edited-1Remember the old TV show called Dragnet where the police would use the phrase when they were investigating a crime, “Just the facts, ma'am” In other words they wanted to get past all the talk that was not helping the case which they were investigating. The American people should be saying the same thing as they look into and investigate the condition and the ongoing problems of this country. Just the facts!

The American people need to look at what has happened to our country during the past 5 ½ years and get just the facts. There are important facts that Most liberals and progressive fail to recognize. There has been a Democrat president, Obama, in the White House for the last five and a half years and even today he (Obama) blames his predecessor (George Bush) for what he calls “the mess he inherited.” But if a person really looks into the issues during two of those critical years, the Democrat president (Obama) had a Democratic Congress and if a person would look into and investigate the issues we would see that Obama and the Democrat controlled congress during those two years were responsible for a great deal of deficit spending. Our current leadership is a big part of what is wrong in America today.

Such issues as the bail outs of GM and Chrysler, not to mention a select group of financial firms in the banking industry, and just look at the disaster known as Obamacare. Two years after the passage of Obama Care, many of those congressmen who voted for the bill are trying to exempt themselves from its burdensome tax on the voters they were elected to serve. Let me guess, that is Bush's fault too. What a joke and a travesty when the very people who want to impose it on the American people do not even want it for themselves.

In the five and a half years under Obama, a Democrat president, we have increased the national debt between six and seven trillion dollars with no end to the spending in sight. And Obama still wants to spend our money. He is still pushing Obama Care and he is not only aware it will cost trillions to put into operation but he knows just as well it will without doubt lead to  government-run health care, which is already stopping most of this country’s economic growth. Employers will not hire anyone as a full time employee and in most cases will not hire at all.

Government health care has been such a great success in Britain and Canada that many people come to the United States for treatment of

serious conditions.

Just like most Americans I want accountability for national issues when they arise. I do agree, with other Americans that we should meet head on and confront our representatives when they distort the facts and that goes for all of our elected officials including Obama. So Mr. president would you please explain what happened in Benghazi and stop the lying to the American people. The same goes for Fast and Furious, the IRS, And the National Security Agency. Why are we still sending money and military aid to country’s that hate us, and more importantly why are you still trying to go forward with Obama Care when you know the disaster it will cause.

Could it be that is what you, Mr. President, want disaster? Everything that you do seem to point that way. When you ran for office you promised transparency but everything that you do is sure not that way. We need a leader that is straight forward and gives us “JUST THE FACTS”

The Architect of Destruction

Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors.it seems to have never left him.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .
Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," 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 and 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 and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and 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 and 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 and doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and 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 and the traditions and 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 and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and 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 and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and 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 and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and 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, and 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, and assert a dictatorial form of power.
· Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and 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 and 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, and 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 , and the epitome of a Demagogue.

The Want To Be

image

The way our country was founded over 200 hundred years ago was on God and a structure of checks and balances by which this nation and its Constitution are based on is being steadily and thoroughly destroyed by Obama who was from the very beginning and who is still determined to have absolute rule over a free people. Most American people if they are like me are infuriated, mad and furious that Obama through our federal government appears, by the look of things, to be taking aggressive measures to remove our rights to privacy granted to the American citizens under the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution. I was always under the feeling that oppressive and domineering governments, were run by communists and dictators. I thought that they were the ones who spied on citizens. But was I fooled! We have a president that is right there on the same level with them. But of course why am I surprised? When you rub elbows with dictators and shun your friends does not that put you in the same class or does that make you “a want to be dictator?”

The Constitution breaks up authority between the executive (president), legislative (Congress), and judicial (Supreme Court) branches of government and it is based on the view and the opinion that liberty can only be successfully preserved by having separate branches so that any little would be dictator (like Obama) could be stopped by the checks and balances that were built into the government structure. The problem is two of the branches of our government are not doing their job to stop Obama. He (the want to be king) is taking over this country and they do nothing.

From all my study and research of and about the history of the American government It goes without question, that our current leadership in the White House and the Congress is not the copy or the model pictured or envisioned by our founding fathers when it comes to the protection of the citizens' rights of privacy. It is truly disturbing that the American citizens’ telephone conversations, email, letters sent and received through the U.S. Postal Service, the websites Americans have visited, plus other things, are all being all watched and examined by the executive branch of our government.

Even more incredible is that we have a secret United States court reviewing actions of the American people pursuant to a secret law and giving the executive branch and its Agencies even more room to spy on law-abiding American citizens. What is happening to America? What’s next is the question that we, as Americans really must ask. Will we all have to wear ankle-monitoring bracelets or have a computer chip embedded under our skin to allow our government to monitor even our bathroom activity? Is that what our country is coming to? Some of you reading this will most likely laugh, but you had better stop and think because it is no laughing matter. It is real and it could happen by the way Obama and his government is going.

Our second amendment rights are very quickly being taken from us, we have drones flying over this country and I ask for what? Our phone calls, emails, and who knows what else is being monitored. We need to wake up and smell the coffee. I cannot believe that our patriots in 1776 and 1789, who put their lives on the line for freedom, would tolerate this corrosion of our second and Fourth Amendment rights in our daily lives.

The system of federalism upon which this nation and its Constitution are based is being systematically destroyed by Obama who is bent on absolute rule over a free people.

AMERICA: Here Is Your Wake Up Call!

What is happening to the country that we all love? As the American people draw near the first six months of Obama’s second term, his record causes many concerns for most people. In just six months, we have been hit with a foreign policy (What foreign policy) that is beyond reason and is a disaster, numerous scandals, postponing his worthless health care (Obamacare), while still not getting any information on “Fast and Furious” as well as the killing of the Ambassador in Benghazi. If this is what we see in the first six months, what are we in for for the remainder of his second term?

In all of this we have a president that is totally disengaged and disconnected from the real issues, a vice president that is continuing to make outlandish and absurd comments, the secretary of state is sailing while Egypt is exploding, and the attorney general (Holder) does not know anything about anything. In foreign affairs, Obama has pursued a policy that can only be described as hiding and not making any use of America’s vanishing power.

The world makes fun of us and disregards what we say. After supporting the overthrow of Mubarak, the president supported the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood (People who hate us) who while elected created a new constitution, requested the release of the man who led the early attack on the World Trade Center and clearly was against the United States. When his own people rose up to force him out of office seeking more freedom from the brotherhood, our president acted as if the people that were trying to hold our views were wrong. In Syria, Obama said that Hassad would be gone in two years, but now he is giving too little and too late support to the groups trying to remove this evil in our world. Now it is evil against evil there. No matter who he chooses they will be against us.

Obama’s comment that he should not have to talk with foreign leaders is an example of his arrogance and his abuse of power. He is not God even though he might think that he is. I have never feared my government up until now; in fact, I love my country and the presidents that led it. I had some strong disagreements with their policies, but I was awed by the leadership they provided. The one thing I was sure of was that my government was there to protect me. The actions of Obama do not allow me to feel safe from my government anymore. Under Obama the government is too big and controls most of our life. Obama and his policies are tearing our country apart.

The IRS scandal makes it clear that when Obama attacks the tea party movement then a number of people take that as their marching orders and stop opposition groups (those that oppose Obama’s policies) from gaining their rights to free descent. If you do not agree with the president, then you can be audited. If you lead an opposition group, they can ask for your emails, what films you watch and the leaders can have their personal and their businesses audited by the most feared part of government. The president states that he knew nothing about the report of IRS abuses while his chief of staff and his Treasury secretary did know. Can you believe that? Well you can believe it if you want but as far as I’m concerned and a lot of other people he knew and more likely was behind it.

The NSA is now monitoring all of the cell phones we have. This was started by President Bush to monitor telephone calls to foreign locations, but this administration under Obama expanded their power. The freedom of the press has come into question. If a reporter questions the policies of Obama he or she can be targets approved by the attorney general (Holder) to monitor their lives. The attorney general then lies to the Congress about his knowledge.Whole groups like the AP and Fox can be subject to investigation. Is this America where we can now have drones flying overhead monitoring our actions? We must speak out constantly in opposition to this abuse of power and protect our freedom or the government will take it from us. They have taken most of it now.
