There
are some gifted people who have the ability to put into words that which most of
us are thinking. Maureen Scott is an ardent American patriot who was born in
Pittsburgh, PA and retired to Richmond, VA in 2000. Free from the nine-to-five
grind of writing
for employers and clients, she began writing political commentary to
please herself and express her convictions.
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.
