Someone sent this to me in email to me today... perfectly stated. The Architect of Destruction By Maureen Scott 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," –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 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 government. 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. © Maureen Scott Maureen Scott is an ardent American patriot who was born in Pittsburgh, PA and retired to Richmond, VA in 2000.

In political discussions you are preaching to the choir or to those who do want to hear it.. here I will let a 12yo boy speak for me.. this boy is wise beyond his years bet he was home schooled really like this one.
Those who believe Obama is truly a muslim born outside the US with evil intentions on destroying America are just as whacky to me as those who actually agree with his political views. I think Obama truly believes he is leading America in a direction that is right and fair for the people. I disagree with him, but I don't think he has evil intentions to destroy America.
I'll happily be in that first listed whacky group. I don't know where he was born and I don't care but one needs to look no further than his family of communists/socialists and his mentors and friends as well as his upbringing to see he prefers islam and socialism to Christianity and American Liberty.
If Bama is Socialist he needs to get a lot better at it. According to the Federal Reserve the top 10% of households were the only segment that saw an increase in income 2010-2013. The middle class was basically flat and the lower class declined. That said...I did pretty well during that period so no complaints from me.
Take a historic look at Socialism implemented...the definition of the ideology and the practical applications are two different things. What's happening is what always happens in "socialistic utopias", that's why they never work and why as Americans we need to be vigilant and recognize a socialist crook when we see one. The socialists/liberals leading the charge to "fundamental change" are always working towards something more similar to the definition of an aristocracy than than seeking to raise the underclasses. It's about power, not helping the poor peeons. I did very well through that period as well, as I did through Bush's years, that doesn't make the problems any less true.
Yeah, I'm sure there is much he would have liked to have done which he wasn't able to. I would still question wether his philosophies would meet the definition of socialism but who really knows for sure what is in his head? I doubt he will be distributing any of the millions he has made to those who are less fortunate? At any rate I won't miss him when he is gone. I'm sure that is something we can agree on :-)
I could understand a person not being a Bush fan, considering the alternative was Al Gore and Kerry, Bush wasn't so bad.
Obama really has to be the worst President in my lifetime (40 years). No other way to cut it. Jimmy Carter is the 2nd worst.
From Obamacare, to amnesty, to making race relations worse, to basically pissing away everything our guys fought for in Iraq, to refusing to call a terrorist a terrorists, to not even acknowledging Netanyahu's concerns regarding Iran, to Spending $12trillion in just over 6 yrs, I'm not sure what else it would take to make someone think that he is certainly NOT trying to make things better for America.... Keep drinking the liberal kool-aid, and before you know it, you'll be in-cahoots with those leftists yourself, if you're not already!!!
Somebody moderate. Just like Obama has been. No President is "conservative" or "liberal" or whatever anymore. They are all moderate. No one has balls to really make changes anymore.
