Q. (General Bill Gann, USAF retired) – [to Senator Obama] – “Why do you not follow protocol [placing your hand over your heart in the presence of the American flag] or at least stand and face it?”

A. (Senator Barack Obama) – “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides…”   “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression…”  “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message.  You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.” The National Anthem should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose.   I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’  If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it.  In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as “redesign” our flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.  IT’S MY INTENTION, IF ELECTED, TO DISARM AMERICA TO THE LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE TO OUR MIDDLE EAST BRETHREN.  IF WE, AS A NATION OF WARRING PEOPLE, CONDUCT OURSELVES LIKE THE NATIONS OF ISLAM, WHERE PEACE PREVAILS – PERHAPS A STATE OR PERIOD OF MUTUAL ACCORD COULD EXIST BETWEEN OUR GOVERNMENTS…”The Worst Heisman Winners to Ever Play in the NFLWorthly.comUndo

How's that for an intro?  Presently, President Obama and Attorney General Holder are implementing a national program to federalize local police departments.  We previously have been warned that the DOJ’s findings of racism within the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department were a ruse that would lead to something like this.  The first six departments in this program include the Ft. Worth TEXAS Police Department.  How is this possible?  Note this from the Tea Party Network: " The Administration has carefully chosen six “pilot” cities in dire need of cash with mayors and police chiefs willing to sell their city’s local rule in exchange for short-term financial gains. All but one, Fort Worth, are majority Democrat-run cities. All have high black, Latino, or Muslim populations, amongst which an open door policy encouraging claims of discrimination will be greeted with much enthusiasm."

Lawsuits surely will be coming but that is woefully insufficient. During the 2012 election cycle, some European outfit was presuming to monitor statewide elections in Texas. Attorney General Greg Abbott did not get upset; he just mentioned that anyone within 100 feet of a polling place in Texas is subject to arrest. That ended that little problem. Well, this one is not so little! We should expect a prompt and defiant response from the Texas government and physical intervention if necessary.

Perhaps you imagine a Texas bias.  Folks, this is getting serious!  Previous TLC articles have envisioned the possibility that our President may be working hard to create a societal situation in America that would give him an excuse to declare martial law [see Martial Law and Constitutional Limitations as well as Martial Law and Domestic Disorder].  We need to remind ourselves that the Constitution under martial law [Presidential Power and Martial Law] would be basically moot.  Following martial law could be the suspension of elections.   Then Congress could begin the process of becoming irrelevant.  The Supreme Court would simply be ignored.  Obama has repeatedly acted as if these situations are in place now.

It would be surprising if the State of Texas cooperated in any way with this most recent trashing of the 10th Amendment.  But what if confrontation is the objective?  Can’t you hear the President decrying the damage and suffering associated with racial violence?   Earnest attempts to address this dilemma by federalizing racist police departments have been met with resistance, even force.   We are perilously ignoring the threat of climate change.  The Affordable Care Act, an effort to raise up the downtrodden, is plagued by threats from Republicans, potential unfavorable rulings from the Supreme Court and the misguided opposition of the proletariat, uh, the people.   Obama’s brilliant foreign policy initiatives have been sabotaged by Republicans by questioning the historic integrity of exalted Iran.  Martial law is the only thing that will save the country, even the whole world.  Along with Benjamin Netanyahu, George W. Bush remains the primary cause of it all.  That unimaginable scenario is beginning to seem more and more realistic, isn’t it? 

What is Obama?  The indisputable facts are:

1.    Both his father and step-father were Muslims.
2.      Obama was raised as a child in Indonesia as a Muslim.
3.   Obama’s mentor during his later youth in Hawaii was Frank     Marshall Davis, a communist.
4.     He was married in, and for many years attended Chicago’s ‎Trinity United Church of Christ.  The pastor of that church, Jeremiah Wright is a leading proponent of Black Liberation Theology which was founded by James Cone who was also a Communist.  James Cone wrote that blacks could not be liberated in a capitalistic society.

All this and much more was known prior to Obama’s election as president.  The President has enjoyed the mindless adoration of pseudo-intellectual liberals in academia, the mainstream media, the entertainment industry, race-baiting charlatans and all others that could be persuaded.  Even from the right he has been judged with a false measure of culpability.  Conservatives had tended to respond to Obama’s lying, cover-ups and stonewalling by giving him a counterfeit benefit of doubt.  Obama’s obstinacy and deceptiveness have been rewarded by the idea that the charges against him have not been proven, that we don’t have the facts.  TLC suggests that instead of applying “rules of evidence” similar to that of criminal courts, it is appropriate to incorporate similar rules utilized in civil courts.  Rather than “beyond reasonable doubt,” the standard should be “preponderance [weight] of the evidence.”  If the people applied that standard to the occurrences within his presidency, Obama would be in trouble, as he deserves to be. 

There are too many rehashed arguments in this article, so we will list no more.  How many times does he lie before he is called a liar?  How much evidence is hidden before he is charged with being an obstructionist?  How many times does he brazenly act contrary to the Constitution before it is realized that he is attacking this great society?  When do we forcefully answer the question, “What is Obama?”

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," (no he gets goose bumps when he hears the ''Muslim call to prayer" (his words) 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 experiences and 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 unite 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 government.

- 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.
