The Architect of Destruction - by Maureen Scott


Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his.  He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others.  Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors...it seems to have never left him.

It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .  Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.

Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings?  Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of " America the Beautiful?"  Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet?

Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by?  It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values.  He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free.

He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America , penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.

Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of  America and its greatness.  He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.

Rather he was separated from all of these experiencesand doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American.  He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage.  His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us. 

He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S.  Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many.

Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego.

He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who opposes his policies and actions.  A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.

Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America , rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter").

He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions.

And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.

Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.

· Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.

· Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!

Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us.  He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America , and the epitome of a Demagogue.

Income equality!

I saw the following posted on the internet and decided to add it to my blog.  Great message!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.  As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.

Writ of Mandamus - Do it!

Latin for "we order," a writ (more modernly called a "writ of mandate") which orders a public agency or governmental body to perform an act required by law when it has neglected or refused to do so. Last night I was considering, what can we as common citizens do to force our government to perform its legal duties?  The border laws make it illegal for people to cross our borders, but when it happens, we do little to deal with the problem.  These are likely illegal Democratic voters, and it becomes apparent that nothing will be done even thought the law is clear.  The Constitution says we have the right to privacy, but we are now involved in the largest effort imaginable to check what we are saying, and who we are saying it to.  This goes under the guise of homeland security, but given that the IRS has already proved that it can't be trusted to do its job within legal boundaries, is it safe to assume that the likes of Valerie Jarrett will find a way to invade our discourse for political advantage.  How many people are audited by the IRS after confronting anything done by this administration.  If you have the name Tea Party in your dealings with this White House, you can be sure you will be scrutinized and dealt with by the heavy hand of our government.  Everyone gets excited when the comparisons are made to pre WWII Germany, but isn't this subtly what is happening here?  -- Enough

My ideal politician in Congress

So you were selected by citizens in the primary to represent your political party.  The citizens of your community in the general election elected you.  But what are we expecting of you when you go to Washington?  You are now part of a large organization of people who have come to represent their communities.

You have to know we as a nation are unhappy with the body you are now part of.  We have high hopes as you establish your office in our nation's capital that you will be our voice to express our disgust for what has been going on with this august organization.

I would like you to be a strong voice as you become part of committees.  I don't expect you to lean back in your seat and listen to the "spin" that is Washington.  We expect to hear that you were heard in objeccting to the foolishness that is so often on the agenda.  I expect you to answer questions in a very direct way, without spin, talking points, or equivocation.  I expect you to be visible and vocal with the media and at town halls.  I want you to talk about the greatness of our country and the principles that have brought us to this point in history.  I want you to quote from the bible and the constitution often and with pride.  You are a leader and we will judge you on your moral character and the behavior that exemplifies the best in our society.  Be proud of our nation and its heritage!

We expect much from you, and we believed that you were ready for this significant role in Congress.  -- Enough

Lying and spinning!

At what point do we say "you are lying"?  People often equivocate with statements like "perhaps you don't understand", or we simply are confronted with "talking points".  The word "lying" often needs to be said, especially for those who have scripted comments to so many questions.  By the way, how many people, especially in politics, refuse to answer a question directly, but go "spinning" a response that is far away from the thrust of the question.  Often the interviewer gives up and accepts the tangent that the respondent has put forth.

I am very happy when I find a pundit, or media person who refuses to accept the blather.  I hope the interviewer will try to understand that we, the viewer or reader, wants a to know the answer in bold terms.  We have been living with these inadequate diversions (i.e. lies) of truth and frankness all too often. -- Enough

The child

I have never told this story to anyone other than my wife. I was about sixteen, and had always been fascinated with mechanical things.  I had the opportunity to work at what we used to call a gas station, and enjoyed the opportunity to make some money.  I worked for several guys who, to say the least, had loose morals.  There always seemed to be women from the neighborhood who were willing to indulge their desires.  There were many sexual episodes that occurred while I worked there that I choose not to write about.  To say the least, I was very naive about sexual matters.

My job was to occasionally open the station in the morning.  My chores included putting window cleaning supplies on the gas pump islands and take readings off the pumps.  One day I was performing the task and looked down at a small object that at first looked like a dead animal that had no hair.  Although I had only a limited knowledge of the events of pregnancy, I could clearly see it was what is clinically described as a fetus.  The child was about two to three inches in length, clearly curled up, and definitely dead.  To this day I remember with shock reeling back at the site.  I had no idea what to do.  In retrospect, as a Catholic boy, I probably should have done something, perhaps a burial of sorts, or tell my folks about this.  I am left with some regrets as I remember in detail the event.  I chose to do nothing!  It has left a lasting impression on me!

I am a person who believes life is precious, and I wonder who this child could have been.  Having come form two people who probably had very loose morals, would this have been another person with dubious character?  Would this child in a home like mine developed into a person of great talent?  Is this an example of why Planned Parenthood is needed so these abortions performed in a closed gas stations lot would never occur again?  Is this a good case of why contraceptives should be readily available to all to avoid the million plus abortions performed every year?

As a man, I think I should have one half a vote as opposed to a woman’s full vote as we deal with the abortion issue.  Abortion is supposed to be available, but done infrequently according to many of our “catholic” politician such as Nancy Pelosi and so many in Congress.

I know this, I am haunted by the memory of the child’s huddled appearance laying on the side of the concrete of a gasoline island on a cool morning.   -- Enough

Democrats - Detroit

It is interesting how the cities controlled by Democrats seem to have the worst of the worst in terms of crime, corruption, financial trouble, murders, etc.  Detroit, the once model of a great city in the U.S. is now in shambles.  I don't know that a Republican mayor would have done better, but many of us on this side of the isle think Detroit should have given an opposition person the chance.
