President Obama is sinking for more
reasons than just Obamacare. Every day,
more people are deciding that he is deceitful.
Reporters Mark Halperin and John
Heilemann disclose in their new book – Double
Down: Game Change 2012 – that Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama, speaking of
the Administration’s use of drone attacks, said, “I am really good at killing
people.” That’s hardly the comment the
‘doves of the left’ want to hear from the mouth of their fearless leader!
Obama’s cultural wreckage and attack
on Judeo-Christian values in the U.S. Armed Forces is more evident every day as
well. Beyond the repeal of Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell and his refusal
to enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act,
this Commander-in-Chief ‘s Department of Defense has granted 10-days non-chargeable
leave to homosexuals for getting married in a state that recognizes same-sex
marriages; designated the month of June for celebrating Gay Pride; permitted
uniformed service members to march in Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT)
parades; conducted training that labels Evangelical Christianity and
Catholicism as religious extremists on par with Al Qaeda and Hamas; and is
threatening the religious liberty of military chaplains to preach, teach and
counsel in accordance with their personal convictions and tenants of their
faith.
The other weekend, the historic Cadet
Chapel at West Point was the scene of its first same-sex “marriage” involving two
men. (There were two unions of women in
late 2012.) Do you feel the pride?
Meanwhile, there is a very evident
purging of U.S. military general officers for reasons that … more-often-than-not
… seem contrived. Some folks are
alleging that the sackings are politically motivated.
I suppose these things are of little
concern to the 99% of the U.S. population that has never don the uniform of any
of our nation’s branches of service. But
for the less than 1% of us who have, we are always concerned about anything
that might jeopardize our national security, threaten our unit cohesiveness,
and negatively affect our readiness and morale.
Oh well, enough of this on this
Veterans Day. For the most part, the
American people just want this day off and to tip their hat to our veterans;
they don’t want to give a lot of thought to the future of our military. Though retired, my thoughts this day are
directed to my comrades-in-arms who currently seek to live the core values and
defend this nation against its enemies – both foreign and domestic.
