OPINION:
President Obama’s bizarre anti-American decisions are not only indifferent to, but hostile to, our founding principles and our identity as Americans. They have now reached critical mass. Are these actions deliberate and treasonous or merely ignorant and incompetent?
Four thousand troops, trained to fight wars, are sent not to the Middle East to fight the Islamic State, but to Africa to “help” with a fatal-disease epidemic while even nurses and doctors, trained to fight disease, cannot protect themselves from contagion. If these troops survive and only one returns to infect just two contacts a day, and each of those individuals in turn infects two more people, and so on, by day 21, more than 1 million people will have been exposed. Do the math. Take into account also the stigmatizing of the places these people have visited, and you have economic disaster on a catastrophic scale.
Still, there is no travel ban.
The dissolution of our borders and the welcoming and equalizing of illegals not only nullifies our protective laws, it devalues the concept of citizenship itself, which once had privileges and responsibilities that were the envy of the world.
Lack of attention to the health of illegal immigrants renders years of successful disease prevention worthless as contagious diseases of all sorts are spread across the country.
That our enemies are supported and our allies are undermined is underlined in red by the cooperation with Iran in its production of nuclear weapons and the subsidizing of Hamas tunnels into Israel.
Mr. Obama’s animosity towards the Constitution, the military, the citizens, truth, justice and the country are now too obvious for rational dispute. Congress has proven impotent in reining in this malignantly counterproductive president, who has consistently put the interests of the United States last.
We need to pray hard for a strong leader to emerge, one who understands American ideals and is blessed with sound judgement.
