PAM MEISTER: CAN AMERICA QUALIFY FOR A FREE SCOOTER CHAIR?
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11715/pub_detail.asp
Recently, FSM ran an article from The American Dream entitled “Obama: ‘We Have a Moral Obligation’ to…Neuter America?” The article ends by saying, “Most people that will read this article will choose to believe that a nuclear attack on America is absolutely impossible.
I wish that were true.”
I wish it were true too. Unfortunately, those who pass for our leaders today seem hell bent on destroying America as I, and many others, have known it all of our lives. And yet so many people seem to have no clue as to what is really going on. Is it that we really don’t believe that President Obama is morally (immorally?) capable of giving away the store? Or that we don’t want to believe it?
Well, believe it.
The most recent clue was Obama’s whispered comments to Russia’s President Medvedev, asking for “space” on the nuclear issue, saying he will have more flexibility after November’s election. Commenting on this exchange, which Obama and Medvedev both assumed was private because they didn’t know their microphones were live, George Will said the following:
“What this does, what people say when no one’s listening, or so they think, gives you some insight into who Mr. Obama really is. And this reinforces a narrative, which is that he’s kind of slippery, very aloof, and mildly disdainful of those people who inhibit his flexibility: AKA the American public.”
Mildly disdainful? That’s putting it mildly. If this weren’t a family site, I wouldn’t be quite so nice about it, but Mr. Will has the right idea. Like all liberals. President Obama “knows” what’s best for what ails the rest of us, and he’s not shy about letting us know about the low regard he has for our opinions or our ability to think for ourselves.
However, for those who may have been surprised at Obama’s “secret” comments to Medvedev, here’s a clue: it’s not the first time Obama has voiced his desire to rid our nation of all nuclear weapons. Back on the campaign trail in 2008, if you were paying attention, you’ll know that the then-presidential candidate said,
“It’s time to send a clear message to the world: America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons. As long as nuclear weapons exist, we’ll retain a strong deterrent. But we’ll make the goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons a central element in our nuclear policy.”
In other words, we know that our arsenal of nuclear weapons makes enemy nations think twice about attacking us, but we’re going to get rid of them anyway. It’s like knowing that fluoride prevents cavities, but we’re going to eliminate fluoride from toothpaste. It makes no sense to anyone but those who thought of such a harebrained scheme.
Like any good utopian, Obama seems to be of the opinion that if we just convince our enemies that we really aren’t such bad people and, like the proverbial beauty pageant contestant, really just want “world peace,” we could wipe out war forever and tiptoe through the tulips hand in hand with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Vladimir Putin. This is why we get such mealy mouthed platitudes from the Commander in Chief such as this one to Iran and North Korea, urging them to seek peace and, in the case of North Korea, warning that the penalty for ignoring this proclamation from on high is further isolation from the international community – i.e. sanctions.
If sanctions haven’t worked before now, what makes Obama think that they’ll work in the near future? North Korea’s leadership doesn’t care if the general population is starving to death.. Therefore, such finger wagging from the likes of our president has no effect. It’s just as annoying as NYC’s Mayor “Nanny” Bloomberg’s constant finger wagging about salt and fat intake, but on a much larger – and much more dangerous – scale.
But considering this is the man who said that his becoming the Democrat presidential nominee would be remembered as the moment that the oceans stopped rising and the planet began to heal, that he expects world peace based on his say-so alone isn’t exactly a big surprise. Modesty obviously isn’t a word that’s been loaded onto the teleprompter or Queen Elizabeth’s iPod.
America is on her way to becoming the paper tiger that Osama bin Laden thought she was back in 2001. Once the strongest nation in the world, we are now on our way to becoming so weak and disabled, we’re going to be eligible for one of those scooter chairs that are often advertised on TV. Hey, as long as it’s one with a free travel mug and cup holder, who can complain?
As Obama and his administration continue their march toward a “nuclear-free zone” – with all of the effectiveness of a “drug-free zone” in the inner city – just remember this: The president and his inner circle get to hide in bunkers in the event of a major attack on our soil. The rest of us will have to fend for ourselves.
I, for one, don’t like the idea of being one of millions of guinea pigs in this utopian experiment. How about you?
