Mr. Obama's upbringing, his education and his perspectives were shaped by those who were not advocates of American Exceptional-ism, nor did they accept the Divine providence in the founding of our Nation and Constitution. In fact, America wasn't anything special, a country like all other countries, maybe even less than such. Further, Mr. Obama explained while running for President that his upbringing outside of the US was an advantage, giving him a deeper well of foreign policy experience. Unfortunately and as a consequence of his upbringing and "foreign policy" experience, Mr. Obama has yet to and probably never will, adopt the basic and fundamental principles embedded in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, nor will he abide American Exceptional-ism. As such he is not the advocate that we require of our President. What we are now experiencing his complete and utter disregard for what differentiates the US in the world of nations, because he doesn't believe we are different, nor should we be. He, and his minions, have done more dismantle our Nation, our Constitution, our freedoms, our democracy and our economy than any other person in the history of our country.
Illustrated in this piece are a couple of key points - his failure to recognize and fully quote by whose hand we are endowed (intentional?), and his attempt to neutralize the defining moment of our Nation by minimizing its founding and consequential integrity and rule of law through rationalization and justification. It is amazes me that he justifies the appropriateness of being an illegal immigrant because they were here first. Really?

Inviting Provocative Political Dialog
Daily Thought
2008 was a Defining Moment for America, amid the commotion and divergent voices of partisanship and conflict. Unfortunately, America chose unwisely and we have suffered accordingly. We have another opportunity in 2010 and 2012 to put it right! Become engaged!

After almost two years into the Obama presidentcy nothing surprises me anymore. Do you remember the Reverend Jeremiah Wright? It took more than six months for Mr. Obama to distance himself from that racial and religious bigot. There are laws in place to allow those from other countries to become legal citizens of the U.S. Unfortunately Mr. Obama and his cronies have decided the law of the land does not apply to certain people. This is wrong. Without the rule of law there will be chaos.
This is a bit lengthy. I think it says it better than I ever could.
How can they change
HISTORY!!!!! It's a done thing...It
happened!!!!!!
SHALL WE HIRE A
MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE
MISSING WORDS?
THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN
APPALLED OBSERVER:
Today I went to visit the
new World War II Memorial in
Washington , DC . I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a
baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the
age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families.
It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be
there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring
words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved
there.
On the Pacific side of the
memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to
announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:
'Yesterday, December 7,
1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately attacked.'
One elderly woman read the
words aloud:
'With confidence in our armed
forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain
the inevitable triumph.'
But as she read, she was
suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the
quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt
ended the message with 'so help us God.'
Her husband said, 'You are
probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'
'I know I'm right,' she
insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their
heads sadly and walked away.
Listening to their
conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's
probably forgotten.'
But she had not forgotten. She
was right..
I went home and pulled out the
book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James
Bradley It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima .
I haven't gotten too far in
the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of
the WWII battles in the Pacific.
But right there it was on page
58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'
The people who edited out that
part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have
fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who
were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.
Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE
RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'
Send this around to your friends.
People need to know before everyone forgets.
People today are trying to
change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is,
God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to
be...and He always will be!
