The Roots of Barack Obama's Selective Crises

The Roots of Barack Obama's Selective Crises

From the outset, when Barack Hussein Obama first announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in 2007 and through Election Day, Americans of every political stripe have had serious, if often belated, misgivings regarding a candidate with minimal qualifications and experience with all of two years as a U.S. senator presumptuously vying for the highest office in the land and the position as leader of the Free World. 

Unfortunately and wrongly, those concerns were frequently dismissed as baseless reflections of racial prejudice against an African-American.

A few days before that election, liberal Charlie Rose made no reference to that canard but astoundingly admitted to liberal Tom Brokaw on national television that, “I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.”  Brokaw responded, “No, I don’t either” and added that, “We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy” or the people advising him. 

In essence, two of Obama ‘s staunchest supporters were conceding that their chosen presidential candidate was a total enigma.  

In short order, although to my knowledge neither Rose nor Brokaw have ever reiterated their qualms, they and the American people have learned a great deal about Obama’s thinking on many issues and about his advisers and we are learning more and more every day about his thinking on both foreign and domestic affairs. 

Many of his ideologically-driven thoughts and actions have reinforced the view that Obama was woefully and dangerously unprepared for his office.  

For example, just recently, America’s commander in chief decided that the deadly Ebola virus currently confined mostly to west Africa represents a far greater threat to America and the world than any other problems including ISIS terrorists who have vowed to visit their murderous movement on our country and the rest of Western civilization.

There exists no reasonable doubt that Ebola represents a significant danger to Americans’ health and safety but the virus  hardly poses an imminent threat anywhere near comparable to ISIS.

In the unlikely event Obama is right in his comparative threat assessment of Ebola, which the UN Security Council has also called a danger to world peace–without singling out the virus as the most pressing world problem–he felt it merited dispatching at least 3,000 combat troops to Liberia to set up treatment centers in lieu of sending them to Iraq despite the fact they are trained for combat and not for construction missions.

Likewise, Obama has determined that in order to crush ISIS in the Mid East, “boots on the ground” are unnecessary and that America’s potent air power, in conjunction with assistance from our coalition allies, is sufficient to wipe out 32,000 ISIS terrorists.

The problems with his “strategy” are manifold, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39120.)

The Death of America's Borders

The Death of America's Borders

 

In June, Chicago’s prestigious Newberry Library’s Dr. William Scholl Center for American History and Culture hosted a four-week  meeting billed as “Bridging National Borders in North America,” a “National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Faculty.”

The confab dealt with “the process of border-making” and “how nation-states claiming exclusive territorial sovereignty re-drew the continent’s map, the intersection and sometimes collision of these efforts with other ways of organizing space and people, the social and political consequences of the enforcement of national territoriality, how diverse peoples challenge national borders, or use or alter them for their own purposes, and, how does consideration of these topics recast our understanding of the national and intertwined histories of Mexico, the United States, and Canada.”

Disclaimer: Though that’s all patently, pretentiously drivel, I admit I wasn’t in attendance to hear it.  Nevertheless, I’m convinced it was simply more academia bullsh*t intended to rationalize with implausible reasoning the national and humanitarian debacle now going on down in America’s Southwest.

Considering the typically liberal-leftist nature of such get-togethers of America’s educational elite and of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a so-called “independent” agency of the United States government totally dependent on federal largesse for its existence, my presence was hardly necessary in order to know that a primary focus of their seminar had to have been the ongoing, unprecedented influx through our southwest border of hundreds of thousands of now-designated “undocumented immigrants.”

The extent of those violations of our laws, of our national sovereignty, of the brazen criminality being committed by the constitutionally-contemptuous constitutional scholar, Barack Hussein Obama, and his administration have been fully documented even if his captive mainstream media feigns obliviousness of the damage they have been inflicting on our country by their obsequious genuflections to a proven inept and un-American president.

I would refer readers to the rare exception to lib-left dominance of the news media, TheDrudgeReport.com, for objective articles covering what  America’s former community organizer, mostly-absent Illinois state senator, and overachieving United States senator Barack Hussein Obama has done to America during his five+ year tenure.

Drudge has provided verifiable links to stories dealing with everything from protests against the massive alien intrusions to pro-amnesty supporters burning the American flag to our commander-in-chief’s opting to fund raise instead of actually visiting border invasion sites to our government threatening journalists and border patrol agents should they dare report the truth concerning the unprecedented mess.

While adequately linking to those articles, Drudge fails to devote sufficient attention to the three most serious implications of our southwestern disaster: disease, destabilization, and terrorism. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=37923.)
