Obama Trauma - Country Divided

.


For me, the pain keeps on growing.

The pain of our government, and in particular, pRESIDENT oBAMA.  My gosh, look at what he has done.  How he has divided our Country.  By race.  By class.  By education.  By religion.  By state.  By city.

One against the other.  The riots in our streets pit neighbor against neighbor.  The occupiers pit the "Give it to Me" against the wealthy.  Spread the wealth.  Everyone is entitled to everything, working or not.  The taxpayers against the tax users.  Business forced to provide benefits they can no afford.  Heath care, welfare, environmental extremists.  And Michelle regulating the size of sodas sold by Mickey D's, and controlling food menus in the schools.

The pRESIDENT"S top cabinet member, Eric Holder, lies to Congress and is now in contempt.  Another aide appointee arrested for hit and run in Los Angeles add to the growing list of failures.  oBAMMA cARE and immigration concerns pit State against State, City against City, and most of us against the increase control of us by the Federal Government.

And country against country around the world.  Alienating our allies, and creating more tension world-wide than we have ever seen.

How we could have even considered oBAMA for the pRESIDENCY in the first place.  One who has a self admitted hatred foe Whites, a flagrant disrespect the military he leads.  His refusal to properly salute our Flag or openly recite the our Pledge of Allegiance, turns my stomach.  The crooks and terrorists he ran with in his younger years are now his cabinet members.  Union crooks fund his every move.

Makes me puke.

Lord, I pray that you will restore our once great Christian country to what it once was.

I Don't Like the Obammas

I don't like the Obamas

I found this commentary by Mychal Massie, Chairman of Project 21-The National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives.  I thought you would appreciate his thoughts as I did.  I condensed parts of it for this post.

"I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s?

I’ve made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous.

I don’t like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress. I expect, no I demand respect for the Office of President and a love of our country and her citizenry from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people. The Reagans made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs?

Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama’s have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry and they display an animus for civility.

I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to now being able too be proud of America. I view that statement and that mindset as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world. Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites, because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do same.

I have a saying, that “the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide.” No president in history has spent over a million dollars to keep his records and his past sealed. And what the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother’s death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father’s military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nauseum

He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today. He has fought for abortion procedures and opposed rulings that protected women and children, that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel.

His wife treats being the First Lady, as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement – as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.

I don’t like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.

Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin, it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their playing the race.

Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood.

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders.

He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America’s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.”

Hail Mary

.
Well, we have now made the trip to the Colorado Springs area to visit even more family.  Actually though, one of this family was in fact the same one that we shipped back from CA after he broke his arm.  The only difference is that he didn't get to go to Legoland, and that he now wears an Oregon Duck green colored cast on his left arm.

We toured the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, and a WWII Aircraft museum while we made the trek.  The weather was blistering hot (105+) most every day, but our slow pace made the trip relaxing.

Speaking about the weather, I often get anxious about the weather on the Central Oregon Coast with the rain so often.  But so far, we've had nothing but high winds along the way.  And typical for this neighborhood, afternoon thunder showers.

But not so typical, were the two hail storms we got caught in.  The first in Trinidad, CO, and just after we arrived in the Springs area, another.  The second was very violent and drove golf ball sized stones into us causing significant damage to our tow vehicle that we were driving at the time.   So fierce in nature we couln't see and were forced to pull off the highway in the open plains area.  Perhaps you've seen the news where the hail buried cars that tried to cross a gulch.  The accumulated hail was nearly THREE feet deep.  A historical record.

Just our luck.

A Clean Break

.
While holed up in Santa Paula, CA., our 7 year old grandson arrived by air, shipped non-stop by his parents in Colorado.  What a thrill it was for us!  He was to join our journey from SoCal back to his home.  We planned to see the sights along the way, exploring America from the ground up.  And so it began.

First stop, Simi Valley, CA where we met his younger cousins for lunch, then off to Travel Town in Griffith Park, Los Angeles.  Travel Town hosts a slew of retired steam locomotives, wooden horse drawn wagons, and      various exhibits of the way America was.  The way it used to be.  The way many of us used to remember it, and the way we now need to teach our children, and their children, and to the many others whom have come to American since Her great era ended.  This America, sadly for me, no longer exists.

So anyway, as we were about to begin our lessons in history, our grandson from Colorado, fell and broke both of his forearm.  And our plan changed.  Following arrival of a Park Ranger who constructed a splint from items in his medical backpack, a quick response team from the LA City Fire Department, a rescue ambulance, and a ride to the emergency room, we planned to continue on with our trip across America, starting with Lego Land near San Diego.

But as our luck went, that was not to happen.  Not yet anyway.  Not this year even, but on a Sumday soon, we hope.  Due to the nature of the bone break,it was necessary to ship the little guy home for followup medical treatment.  So after his mother flew in to take over, he boarded a return flight home.

And so it went  And so it will continue on some other day.
