A True World Leader

By Tammy Derouin

I really get tired of asking how much more evidence is needed to prove the actions of the executive are life threatening to America.  In his statement regarding the radical Islamic attack in France, Obama once again chose not to mention certain descriptive words.  It was what he didn’t say that emphasized his true colors.

My, how times have changed.  The Canadian Prime Minister has more courage to speak the truth to his fellow Canadians than our own leader.  Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated. “The fact of the matter is this, ladies and gentlemen, that the international jihadist movement has declared war.  They have declared war on anybody who does not think and act exactly as they wish would think and act.”  He stated that war has been declared on all countries who value freedom, openness and tolerance.  He added, “We may not like this and wish it would go away…But it is not going to go away.  And the reality is we are going to have to confront it.”

His words were spoken like a true world leader.  I remember the days when America was the world leader.  America took the lead.  We didn’t lead from behind as Obama has done.  The policies of the Pres-a-king, along with the ideology of the left, have fundamentally transformed the United States into a weak nation. 

Obama continues to dismiss Islamic radicals.  He will not call them what they are, terrorists.  He wants Americans to believe that these are isolated incidents committed by only a few individuals.  He refuses to declare war on those who have openly made America and the west their enemy.  He will not do anything to protect or defend our borders but he will invite our enemies into the White House.  Interestingly, when an act of violence is committed by an American against other Americans, it becomes a nation-wide problem that can only be solved by taking away everyone’s guns.  This is just one more example of his anti-American sentiment.

As Obama continues to claim that these are only a few individuals, a very small percentage, we must remember our history. It’s those small groups, the ones who scream the loudest and intimidate the most, who have a way of causing the greatest amount of damage.  When the German people turned a blind eye to the Nazi party, the small percentage took over and killed millions.

The un-American ideology which currently reigns in the White House is crippling the United States.  Intimidation has come to power and it’s being used against Americans.  The rights and freedoms of the American people are under attack while the enemies of the people are befriended.

Obama refuses to call our enemies our enemies.  He does however, inform us of what he intends to do.  Obama wrote a book called “Audacity of Hope.”   In it he states, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”  Our enemy is not his enemy.

At the United Nations he said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.”   He is making it very clear; Islam and the Muslim world are untouchable. “I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.” America be damned is the message I’m reading loud and clear.

Americans have been under attack for many years but since Obama came to office he has made Americans much more vulnerable to attacks.  We have seen an increase both on our home soil and abroad.  Americans have been killed at military bases and beheaded in the work place.  These attacks are not called terrorist attacks.  Instead, they have insultingly been called acts of work place violence.  When Americans are beheaded by Islamic radicals in far-away lands, Obama plays golf.

Obama has also stated, “If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists – to protect them and to promote their common welfare – all else is lost.”  Not only has he been telling us from the very beginning exactly what he intends to do, he is telling us the consequences of those actions.

If the American people don’t dig down and grab ahold of their…convictions, we will not only become more like Europe, something Obama also said we need to do, but we will willingly hand over everything, our rights, our freedoms, our country and our very lives to the enemy. 

We shouldn’t be surprised that the executive snubbed France and the world by not joining them in Paris.  This was a huge embarrassment to the United States but I have a feeling he isn’t losing any sleep over it.

“There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers.  We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.”
