An American Agenda versus a Liberal Progressive Ideological Agenda

Allen West / Townhall Columnist

 

We are drawing to the end of 2015, and as we enter 2016 it is the final year of President Barack Obama’s presidential tenure. The question then becomes simple, are we better off than we were and a year from now, will we be better off?

Recently President Obama made the assertion to his faithful that he will be squeezing out all the “change” he can in this his final year.

This is the person who said late in 2008, “we are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.” Seven years later, what has that transformation meant to you?

Now, if you embrace liberal progressive socialism as a viable means of governance, then you are very well pleased. The policies of the past seven years, and the ensuing final year have been like a dream come true. However, we need be honest and assess what it has meant for the future of this Constitutional Republic. And if you reject the ideal of the American Republic, then President Obama has delivered -- the dismissal of the rule of law and the elevation of the collective over individual rights and liberty.

President Obama’s final State of the Union address will be on January 12^th and the White House has already identified the final year agenda items.

For Obama, It's Not Delusion, It's Purpose

Ben Shapiro / Townhall Columnist

 

Good news, America: the Obama administration has achieved peace in Syria. That's according to John Kirby, the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Public Affairs and spokesperson at the US State Department, who issued a blog post filled with five-word summations of 2015. Here's their summation of the Syrian crisis: "Bringing Peace, Security to Syria."

So the hundreds of thousands dead, the millions of refugees, the rise of ISIS, the enshrinement of dictator Bashar Assad -- none of it ever happened. According to the State Department, everything's going swimmingly.

More good news: the Obama administration has also defeated terrorism: "Winning Fight Against Violent Extremists." Oddly, more Americans now say that America is losing the war on terrorism than at any time since 9/11; 74 percent of Americans say they are dissatisfied with how the war on terror is progressing.

But the news gets even better: the State Department proclaims that it has achieved Iran's disarmament: "Iran Peaceful Nuclear Program Ensured." Well, there is that whole awkward Iran continuing to develop whatever it wants while funding terrorism across the world with money freed up by the United States and its allies. But really, we've stopped the mullahs dead in their tracks.

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: House Democrats Move to Criminalize Criticism of Islam
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

In FrontPage today I explain how lumping together violence with “hateful rhetoric” is a call to destroy the freedom of speech: December 17, 2015 ought henceforth to be a date which will live in infamy, as that was the day that some of the leading Democrats in the House of Representatives came out in favor […]

Geller in Breitbart: The List – Jihad in America 2015

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

Here it is: the year-end review of jihad terrorism in America. You’ll be shocked. Read it all. And I mean ALL.

Geller: Jihad in America 2015: ‘The Danger to the Homeland Has Never Been Greater’

“The danger to the homeland has never been greater”: so said Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, in September as he released a new report on the global jihad.

In each of the past few years, I have done an end-of-the-year summary piece on jihad activity and Islamization during the year in review, so that people might better understand the overarching progress of the jihad in the U.S., and connect the dots. You won’t find this material summarized elsewhere: the Obama administration and the...

Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations...       Part 2 of 2
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://www.americanpbn.com/

Low-information voters...the bane of us all as my Right Side Patriots partner and friend Craig Andresen pointed out in Part One of our two-part series 'Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations.' (http://thepatriotfactor.blogspot.com/2015/12/low-info-voters-vs-high-2016.html) A brief recap for those who still do not see themselves for what they are...as in the aforementioned low-information voters...folks whose vote is cast either out of misdirected anger that their candidate of choice did not get the nomination; folks who cast their vote based upon media-generated misinformation about the candidate who did; folks who vote solely based upon where a candidate stands on the social issues, which by the way belong on the state not federal level; folks who think that Jesus is on the ballot never mind that He has never nor will ever be; or those folks who don't vote at all simply because they are just too lazy to get to the polls. And this last group of low-information voters will be the most vocal group of complainers when, just like in 2012, things go horribly wrong.

But possibly the worst of all low-information voters are those who vote third party...misguided sorts who use the excuse that they're voting their 'conscious'...never mind that it's a 'conscious' wasted on a fringe candidate who has absolutely no chance of winning anything, but then again they know that. And they also know the reality that most third party candidates are nothing more than avowed anarchists claiming to be 'warriors for God' or simple 'facebook' candidates who think if they can only get a million 'likes' on facebook it will propel them to the White House...in other words low-information candidates custom made for low-information voters.

But those who vote for these fringe candidates could care less as after all they're voting their supposed 'conscious' and the rest of America be damned. And it matters not that their vote is a vote actually going to Hillary, as this particular group of low-information voters, for the most part, are the same bunch of pseudo-altruistic sorts directly responsible for Barack HUSSEIN Obama getting a second term in office...you know...the 'holier than thou sorts'...who said “better a muslim we know than a Mormon we don't know”...those so far to the right they actually shake hands with and give a pat on the back to the left.

And when low-information voters as a whole do not get that islamic terrorism is the biggest issue we currently face, when you couple that with the fact that most of them are devoid of even a basic understanding of what are and are not the duties of the president...a position that if not for the all-important Constitutionally given power of the veto would be quite similar to the figurehead status afforded to Britain's queen...you just know how serious of a problem we face as the 2016 election draws near. Thinking that a big mouth alone...a mouth filled with empty promises played to the hopes and dreams of the disillusioned...will be enough to assure a successful presidency, the low-information voter ignores that the Constitution gives the president so-called 'sweeping powers' over the actual administration of the federal government, meaning a big mouth could soon turn into a kingship of sorts with the low-information and disillusioned voter still not realizing they've been had.

But let's start here with a simple lesson in civics as it applies to the serious threat islam poses to our country today. Sadly, low-information voters simply do not get that if we don't deal with said islamic threat now nothing else will matter later. And low-information voters refuse to accept the fact that war has already come here to America, for they see the social issues as their driving force and mainstay.

First, and so important to remember, is that our Founders and Framers were wise enough to make sure that even a presidential veto could be overridden with enough votes in Congress...making this what prevents us from ever becoming a dictatorship. And second, the Constitution also makes sure that it's Congress who dictates law not the president by imposing certain constraints on his power...including his power to wage war... although in Obama's case he routinely tries to stretch his 'authority' beyond what is specifically listed in the Constitution by way of his infamous 'pen and phone'...and don't think it won't happen again with the wrong person in the White House.

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States...” - Article II, Section 2, Clause I of the U.S. Constitution

And to the affect of waging war, the president's role as Commander-in-Chief does not give him the power to unilaterally declare war as that is and must remain a power reserved for Congress. And while all generals and admirals take their orders from the president...including the order to 'stand down'...which Obama (I believe) assuredly gave as the nightmare that was Benghazi unfolded...the president's role as Commander-in-Chief does allow him to decide where and if troops will be stationed, where and if warships will be sent, and how and which, if any, weapons will be used during times of war...a power we have seen Obama cavalierly throwing to the wind as America's enemies are his friends.

And this is the power that in today's sad day and age of islamic terrorism must not be taken lightly for as bad as Obama's cavalier anti-American attitude is, the low-information voter needs to understand that our next president must not be a hothead either...a hothead with a finger on the nuclear button I might add...whose thought processes are driven by anger alone instead of by logic, reason, and tangible policy...nor must the next president be of the isolationist sort for the truth is that the world is indeed a safer place when America and America alone sets the rules of the game.

I hope that sinks into the mind of the low-information voter for it's tangible policy...a workable and doable tangible policy...that is the key to not only declaring and winning wars...and Obama has yet to even declare war on ISIS...but helps to set all future rules of engagement concerning war. And saying 'I will do this' or 'I will do that' is not policy but theatrics used in the hopes of reeling the low-information voter in.

And future rules of engagement has America's Chief of State...the president...being the public 'face' of the sum of the American people as he presides over ceremonial functions as would a king or a queen. And as the 'face' of America, the low-information voters must understand that whether they like it or not manners, civility, and decorum, do matter in a position such as the presidency for while leadership is about both current and future actions it is also about how those actions are presented to both the American people and to our allies...meaning that insults lobed at others and a narcissistic bravado of tooting of one's own horn is not perceived well neither here at home nor on the world's stage, and will surely alienate our allies and be used against us by our enemies.

And while America's enemy is now for the most part 7th century barbarians with 21st century weapons...an enemy who should be obliterated from the lands of civilized men...angry words and rhetoric by certain candidates bought into by low-information voters will not now or ever win out over concrete and decisive military strategy and action...a winnable tangible strategy put in place by candidates who are wise enough to see the big picture and act accordingly.

“He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States...” - Article II, Section 2, Clause 2

And in this current time of war, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution, becomes all the more important. Giving the president the power to make treaties with other countries including treaties to end wars...subject of course to ratification by two-thirds of the Senate...could also have the low-information voters with stars in their blind-following eyes helping to elect yet another president who, like Obama, twists that power so as to conduct themselves as if they are king, and who will made treaties just for a personal 'well done' and a bow on the world's stage. In other words, a narcissistic bravado sort reinforced by voters who do not understand that character in positions of leadership does indeed matter for when bravado takes precedence over substance when it concerns treaties, the enemy then becomes the victor and the treaty-maker becomes a stooge maybe not in his eyes but in the eyes of 'We the People' who have again been sold out.

And while the president obviously has other powers not related to declaring, waging, or ending war, I cannot stress enough that the person who is best capable to handle this specific power not possibly abuse this power should be what one bases their choice on for who should be our next president. A calm, clear-thinking, level head is needed to undue the damage done by Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his minions, meaning we must not chose a president based upon popularity and selective hearing alone...hearing of so-wanted words but not hearing that there's no substance behind those words.

And that is exactly what today's low-information voters are doing as they forget that's how Obama got elected the first and second time around. And they also forget that a lack of substance has allowed this man to rule by executive order...overriding Congress via his pen and his phone...overriding Congress as the low-information voter stands by and whines and complains, oblivious to the fact that they were the ones who voted this man in by making choices based on the unimportant instead of seeing or understanding the ramifications of how they were casting their vote.

An emotional vote is never a well-cast vote no matter the caster's high expectations, and time and again it's seems it's always the low-information voter who casts such a vote. And it's the low-information voter who does more damage to our country than even the man their misplaced emotions helped elect for the low-information voter has not learned one thing from elections past, making it seem like they are deliberately trying to hurt America instead of trying to help save her...and that is the saddest thing of all.

So, as the Iowa Caucuses fast approach I hope the low-information voters see them selves in what Craig and I wrote and realize that a vote based upon emotions, anger, and misguided information, will never serve our country well. And while what we both wrote might anger some, hopefully the truth in our words will win out for this election is indeed our last chance to set our beloved America right again, and in doing so political correctness be damned.

Dog Killed in Terror Siege to be Awarded Medal for Bravery  

Christine Rousselle / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Diesel, a Parisian police dog that was killed in a terror siege on November 18, will be awarded a medal for bravery, Buzzfeed News reports. Diesel was a 7-year-old Belgian Shepherd and was killed during the raid that also killed two suspected terrorists, including one of the masterminds of the November 13 attack.

Diesel will be awarded the Dickin Medal for his bravery and work.

Major RULP Jean-Marc Lenglet from the French National Police, said: “Diesel’s handler has been deeply affected by the death of his dog, as have many thousands of well-wishers who sent messages of condolence for Diesel who died in the service of his country.”

The formal presentation of Diesel’s PDSA Dickin Medal will be made in 2016. PDSA Director General, Jan McLoughlin, said: “Following the tragic terrorist events in Paris last month, where many innocent people lost their lives, Diesel was instrumental in helping the French police locate and deal with the perpetrators.

“When news emerged of Diesel’s death there was a huge outpouring of grief . As guardians of the world’s most prestigious animal awards programme, we were inundated by messages from members of the public to recognise his heroism.

“The PDSA Dickin Medal recognises conspicuous devotion to duty in the theatre of conflict and Diesel is a truly deserving recipient. His gallant actions helped to protect human life in the face of imminent danger and we are very proud to honour him in this way."

Since the introduction of the Medal by PDSA founder Maria Dickin CBE in 1943 it has been awarded to 30 dogs (including Diesel), 32 World War Two messenger pigeons, three horses and one cat.

After reports broke about Diesel's death, the hashtag #JeSuisChien (I am a dog) trended in his memory.

It's important to remember that animals can be as courageous and helpful as humans in the fight against terrorism. Diesel's work in helping to eliminate terrorist masterminds potentially saved thousands of lives.

CNN Poll: More Americans Are Saying The Terrorists Are Winning

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Concerning the war on terror, or as the Obama administration calls it, “overseas contingency operations,” Americans don’t feel it’s going well. In fact, a new CNN/ORC poll found that more Americans “are more likely to say that terrorists are winning the war against the United States than they have been at any point since the September 11 attacks.” Moreover, 74 percent are not satisfied by how the war on terror is going, with three percent saying they’re very satisfied (who are these people?). Sixty percent disapprove of the way Obama’s been handling the issue of terrorism, while 52 percent disapprove of his job performance overall. Yet, regarding the war on terror, the dissatisfaction crosses party lines:

While less than half of Americans say the terrorists are winning, the current 40% who do believe that is 17 points above the previous high of 23% reached in August 2005. Another 40% say neither side has an advantage, and just 18% say today that the U.S. and its allies have the upper hand -- 10 points off the previous low for that measure, reached in January 2007. 

Majority dissatisfaction with the war on terrorism crosses party lines, with even a majority of Democrats, 59%, expressing unease with the case prosecuted by the Obama White House. Seventy-nine percent of independents and 86% of Republicans also say they are dissatisfied with how it has fared.

A majority of Republicans, 55%, say they think the terrorists are winning, while most Democrats, 52%, feel neither side has an edge.
[…]

Yet worries that a terrorist attack could hit home are at their highest level since 2005. Only about half express confidence that the Obama administration can protect U.S. citizens from future acts of terrorism. Overall, 45% say they are very or somewhat worried that they or someone in their family will become a victim of terrorism.

Don’t be shocked if terrorism becomes one of the main issues on the 2016 trail next year.

Report: Pentagon Thwarts Obama's Effort to Close Guantanamo

NEWSMAX

  inShare

In September, U.S. State Department officials invited a foreign delegation to the Guantanamo Bay detention center to persuade the group to take detainee Tariq Ba Odah to their country. If they succeeded, the transfer would mark a small step toward realizing President Barack Obama's goal of closing the prison before he leaves office. 

The foreign officials told the administration they would first need to review Ba Odah's medical records, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the episode. The Yemeni has been on a hunger strike for seven years, dropping to 74 pounds from 148, and the foreign officials wanted to make sure they could care for him.

For the next six weeks, Pentagon officials declined to release the records, citing patient privacy concerns, according to the U.S. officials. The delegation, from a country administration officials declined to identify, canceled its visit. After the administration promised to deliver the records, the delegation traveled to Guantanamo and appeared set to take the prisoner off U.S. hands, the officials said. The Pentagon again withheld Ba Odah's full medical file.

Today, nearly 14 years since he was placed in the prison and five years since he was cleared for release by U.S. military, intelligence and diplomatic officials, Ba Odah remains in Guantanamo.

In interviews with multiple current and former administration officials involved in the effort to close Guantanamo, Reuters found that the struggle over Ba Odah's medical records was part of a pattern. Since Obama took office in 2009, these people said, Pentagon officials have been throwing up bureaucratic obstacles to thwart the president's plan to close Guantanamo.

Negotiating prisoner releases with the Pentagon was like "punching a pillow," said James Dobbins, the State Department special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2013 to 2014. Defense Department officials "would come to a meeting, they would not make a counter-argument," he said.

 "And then nothing would happen."

Ancient arch of Palmyra, destroyed by Islamic State, to be recreated in Trafalgar Square and Times Square

Adding to the to-do list of jihadis in London and New York City. Importing huge numbers of refugees, some of whom are certain to share the Islamic State’s view of non-Muslim antiquities, while reconstructing those same antiquities, is just silly. “Ancient arch of Palmyra which was destroyed by Isis will be recreated in Trafalgar Square […]

Seized documents reveal Islamic State’s Department of ‘War Spoils’ aka Booty

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

There is an entire chapter of the Qur’an entitled “Booty” or “The Spoils of War” (al-Anfal).  When will the media, academic and cultural elites start telling the truth about this gruesome holy war?
Booty  made legal for Muhammad:

They ask thee (O Muhammad) of the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and the messenger, so keep your duty to Allah, and adjust the matter of your difference, and obey Allah and His messenger, if ye are (true) believers.

Qur’an 8:1

And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed unto...

Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations... Part 1

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com

As we draw closer and closer to the first primary elections of 2016, now just a month away, there are some things which must be said. Things that will rile some, anger some and distress some who purport to be on our side of this election matter.

I really don’t care if I offend them as being politically correct has never been in my wheelhouse. I don’t pander…not even to those who are either on our side or to those who pretend to be on our side.

I’m talking about low information voters.

There are far, far too many who claim Conservatism as their political ideology who are being duped, led like sheep to a slaughter and it’s high time somebody said something.

They are being led by trolls…by plants whose goal it is to disrupt and destroy any chance of a Republican victory in 2016 and their intention is clear to see…they are trying to split the vote and in desperation, since their real agenda I suspect, lies with the liberals, they are expediting their wave of nonsense before the first primary votes have been cast.

Put Winning Over Political Purity

Terry Paulson / Townhall Columnist

 

We are eleven months away from a decision that will shape the future of America—the choice of our next president! In America, according to a recent Gallup poll, registered Democrats hold a slight advantage over registered Republicans, 30 to 26 percent. But it’s the growing number of registered Independents (43 percent) whose election choices ultimately determine the outcome next November.

As much as either political party likes to believe, neither the left nor the right owns the future. America’s electorate tends to have a self-corrective tendency to react against political extremes. After eight years of liberal leadership, many independents are likely to switch horses to counter perceived excesses. President Obama’s aggressive liberal agenda and use of far-reaching executive orders has taken America to the left. For evidence, take note of the passing and implementation of Obamacare, the new global warming agreement, and our exploding deficit spending.

Conservatives are motivated; they’re already celebrating Obama’s looming exit! That same motivation has helped secure a Republican-controlled House and Senate. The Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that only 46 percent of likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. With 52 percent disapproving, it’s easy to understand why pundits would expect Republicans to take the final piece of the political trifecta—the 2016 Presidency.

U.S. Arms Sales Increased 35 Percent In 2014

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Some countries, like South Korea, are stocking up on American-made arms due to their security situation. Iraq is doing the same thing, as U.S. troops have mostly withdrawn from the country except for a few thousand recently deployed advisers that are stationed to help government forces fight ISIS. Regardless, American arms sales rose 35 percent, or $10 billion, from last year (via the Hill):

Despite a stagnant international weapons market and increased competition among suppliers, American foreign weapons receipts rose from $26.7 billion to $36.2 billion last year. 

The study, first reported Friday by the New York Times, attributed the windfall in part to multibillion-dollar contracts with South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who are among the top purchasers of American firearms.

The U.S. was the top firearms exporter in 2014, making up more than 50 percent of the market, followed by Russia, who had roughly $5.5 billion in sales. Sweden was third with roughly $5.5 billion in sales, followed by France with $4.4 billion and China with $2.2 billion.

Amid escalating tensions with nuclear-armed North Korea, South Korea was the world’s top firearms purchaser last year with contracts exceeding $7.7 billion, more than $7 billion of which was from U.S. contracts.

The publication added that the global arms market would likely not grow due to “the weakened state of the global economy.”

LIAR: Muslim Cleric who denied ties to San Bernardino jihadis exchanged “flurry of messages” and phone calls with Farook

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

One again, another lying Muslim cleric. There have been almost 30,000 deadly Islamic attacks since 9/11 — each one with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric — and still the media never challenges the imam or the mosque behind the attack. Instead, they challenge, smear and attack those of us who call into question the role of the mosque.
 
The enemedia —  without it, the jihadists would never have had a chance.

Op-ed:
One a Statement...One a Video...Both a Joke
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://www.americanpbn.com/

Countdown...363 days (its a leap year) until Christmas 2016...wish it was here as it will be Barack HUSSEIN Obama's last Christmas as president and will be the last time he'll be able to jet off to Hawaii on our taxpayer dime. Now add in the all important reality that we will never again have to hear and see him try to pass himself off as a Christian...something we know he is anything but... and it truly becomes 'happy dance' time.

And that 'anything but' showed loud and clear in not only his continuing this year with yet another 'Happy Holidays' politically correct White House Christmas card, but also in his December 23rd 'Statement by the President on Persecuted Christians at Christmas'...which sharply contrasted with his and his so-called 'special holiday guest star' Michelle's phony playing to the sheeple 'touchy-feely' pre-taped official Christmas address that ran starting on Christmas Eve on the White House website.

First, let's look at Obama's December 23rd presidential statement...and while some might think this statement altruistic at first reading, when broken down and really read and digested with eyes wide open, the words said were indeed anything but what they seemed on the surface...in addition to the words being way too little and way too late to mean anything.

Reading between the lines, even with Obama's press secretary and political writers trying hard to have their words make him appear sincere especially when saying, “In some areas of the Middle East where church bells have rung for centuries on Christmas Day, this year they will be silent; this silence bears tragic witness to the brutal atrocities committed against these communities by ISIL,” Obama's using the word 'ISIL' instead of ISIS...or even IS...negated any and all true heart-felt sincerity they wanted him to convey. Remember, by saying ISIL Obama was able to give yet another shout-out to his...and obviously their...oh so wanted Levant...the Levant that has the Jewish state of Israel missing from the map. In fact, these words as written in this press statement almost make it seem like Obama's saying it's tragic...somewhat anyway...what has been done to the Christians, but the hell with what has been done and will be done to the Jews and the nation of Israel.

“This silence bears tragic witness...” words that are quite hypocritical from the man who has done what amounts to basically not a damn thing to save the Middle East's Christian population even as ISIS videos continue to be posted showing beheadings, rapes, torture, and burning alive of those he says are victims of “brutal atrocities” committed against them. And throwing out humanitarian aid packages from U.S. planes and helicopters to the Christian Yzidi...packages that go 'splat' when hitting the ground as no parachutes were attached to them...reeks of deliberate, calculated, and cunningly willful incompetency as does giving the Kurdish fighters...the good guys...armed vehicles with no protective armor attached to the side of them.

And while his writers, as typical of all his previous Christmas statements, included words to thank our troops serving in the theaters of war...words only to 'save face' I'm sure...please know that no words of gratitude for our military will ever voluntarily flow from this man's personal pen. And those words of thanks...as in, “praying for God’s protection for those brave men and women engaged in our military”...got buried in a long-winded, quite insincere, generic message of phony compassion about his...and notice I said 'his'... efforts to “restore stability, security, and hope to their nations”...to nations now purged of their Christian populations... nations he and his inactions and 'NO strategy' strategy helped destroy.

Well, maybe 'destroy' is not quite the right word as these countries now laying in ruin are basically run by those whose very side Barack HUSSEIN Obama is actually on...making it 'mission accomplished.' And let's be honest about something else, Obama's trying to pass off the words “praying to God” in regards to our military...or anything for that matter...is quite redundant as we all know his 'god' is not the true living God of we Christians and Jews.

And so his statement finishes with words from an old Christmas Carol, 'I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day'...“The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men.” Beautiful words in spirit but words quite hypocritical coming from the man who in everything he touches fails; from the man who has been wrong about everything concerning both what Americans want and what our country needs; and who when actions were needed deliberately and maliciously did not a thing as his betrayal of both America and her allies directly led to the birth of the killing machine known as ISIS.

And it's the ISIS killing machine that has now targeted the very Christians he, too late, speaks of protecting. And something that many...including the current batch of Republican presidential candidates...refuse to see is that the only Arab country in the Middle East...save for Egypt...that protects its Christian population is Syria, and it's courtesy of Bashar al-Assad's secular government. And Syria is the very country that, like he did in Egypt, Obama has in his sights for a total regime change...a change for the worse as he has America supporting the very ones actually killing the Christians... the anything but moderate Syrian rebels loyal to ISIS...and he's doing so as he tries to put in place what he failed to do in Egypt...that being a lasting ISIS aligned Muslim Brotherhood controlled government...all in hopes of getting back into the islamic leader's and mullah's good graces.

Still think Obama's official statement was as altruistic as it appeared at first glance...I sure hope not.

Now as for Obama's official two and a half minute 'Christmas Address' to the nation...an address taped at the White House last week before leaving for the family's yearly...at our taxpayer expense... Christmas vacation in Hawaii...an address that was quite comical as there is an 'edit point' at one minute and twenty seconds in, meaning these two jokers couldn't even get through a simple teleprompted speech without it needing editing. And by 'these two' means it was an Obama 'two-fer'...as in with Obama you got Michelle as well...kind of like with the Hillary you get Billy-Boy scenario. And this was an address where just as in his recent terrorism address to the nation Obama looked 'drugged'...if you will...maybe that's why he needed Michelle and her oh so contemptuous face there with him.

And while Obama once again...just as he did in his 2014 Christmas address...looked small and quite inconsequential as he slouched down, hunched over, and with elbows on his knees as if not giving a damn about the words he is saying...remember that body language does speak volumes...without passion said in this years address that Americans need to follow Jesus's example of “charity and compassion.” And of course we know exactly who this man is referring to...as in he wants us to be compassionate and accept into our country the anything but true Syrian refugees...to the tune of 10,000 unable to vet refugees...some of whom...many of whom...we know are part and parcel of his brethren's terrorist network...so to speak.

Speaking also of “acts of kindness,” Obama tried to bamboozle 'We the People'... still quite unnerved after the recent islamic terrorist attacks in both Paris and San Bernardino...into thinking he has terrorism (still refusing to say the all-important words 'islamic terrorism') under control...which actually is also quite laughable for while he does islam's bidding and begs the American people not to give into 'islamophobia' and to welcome Sunni muslim refugees into our country...refugees of the likes Europe is now sorry they did...he turns away Iraqi and other Middle East Christians who truly are trying to escape religious persecution.

And he does so while speaking the words, "That’s the spirit that binds us together not just as Christians, but as Americans of all faiths...to celebrate our blessings and the values we hold dear.” The problem here is that first, Barack HUSSEIN Obama is no Christian...remember his actions speak louder than his words...and second, the values he holds dear are the values of the cult of death that is islam. And cult of death islam is, what with their wiping out the Christian population in the Middle East and doing so in allah's name...a population down from 20% to 4% all within the last century. And lest we forget that with the exception of Israel, islam has virtually wiped the Middle East clean of its Jewish population as well.

Also, Obama said that in the spirit of Christmas, Americans need to honor the sacrifice of military service members...as in do what I say not what I do. "During this season, we also honor all who defend those values in our country’s uniform. Every day, the brave men and women of our military serve to keep us safe — and so do their families," were the words from the man who has done every and anything to assure that our military does not win this war or kill too many of his brethren by 'tying their hands' when fighting, by cutting our military budget to laughable levels, to defaming and apologizing for our troops whenever he can, and who has done what amounts to nothing to help aid our troops when they come home from the theaters of war or to help those who once wore our country's uniform...our veterans.

And then Michelle...whom Obama introduced as Mrs. Obama and not Michelle, and who of course had a pursed look of contempt for our military on her face throughout...chimed in and said, "Let’s also take time to pay tribute to those who have given our country so much." But you just know she had her fingers crossed behind her back...taqiyya style...because she might be the only person who disrespects our fighting men and women even more than her husband does...and no hiding behind Jill Biden's 'Joining Forces Initiative' will fool us.

And Michelle's speaking of 'traditions' as in her 'supposed'...and I say 'supposed' because I don't know of anyone who has seen it...2015 White House Christmas theme 'A Timeless Tradition,' which 'supposedly' has each room of the 'People's House' being decorated to commemorate American traditions...is in and of itself quite comical for the only tradition this family has is jet off on 'personal or largely personal' vacation after vacation to a tune of...and you need to sit down for this one...a whopping $70.5 million of our taxpayer dollars (according to Judicial Watch). And that has only been since taking office in January 2009 with still a little over a year to go in Obama's presidency...I wonder if our collective taxpayer pocketbook will survive this arrogant and narcissistic duo.

Nice tradition huh...and Michelle has the unmitigated gall to even speak about “those who have given our country so much,” by saying “Go to JoiningForces.gov to see how you can serve the troops, veterans and military families in your community,” when the money...our taxpayer dollars...she and her husband so selfishly spend on themselves...without 'We the People's' permission I might add...could have done so much to help our veterans in need.

And all this...words, actions, and deeds...both in the president's statement on the persecution of Christians and in the official White House Christmas Address are par for the course for America's traitor-in-chief and oh so par for the course for America's First 'classless' Lady.

January 20, 2017 can't come soon enough...as it's way passed time to take out the traitorous and classless trash.
