Obama Has Dismantled America

Does
the extinguished candle care about the darkness?  Ask the huddled
masses who are  yearning to be free.  America was once thought of as a
light unto nations.  Obama has single-handedly extinguished that light.

Story continues below advertisement

I saw it all coming.  In my 2010 book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America,
I noted that one student who was interviewed after an Obama town hall
meeting during his first presidential trip to Europe in 2009 said
happily: "He sounds just like a European."  That is, not like an
American president who loves his country.  And he doesn't: asked during
that visit to Europe about American exceptionalism, Obama answered: "I
believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect the Brits believe
in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek
exceptionalism."

In
other words, he didn't believe in American exceptionalism at all.  In a
seminal moment for modern historians and active political observers
like myself, a snapshot came across the newswires in May 2008, showing
candidate Obama crossing an airplane tarmac, mid-gait, and holding
Fareed Zakaria's American epitaph, The Post-American World.  In the photo,
Obama is holding his place in the book with his finger, as if he didn't
dare put it down and wanted to dive back into it as soon as he could.

The
vicious Zakaria describes his book this way: "This is not a book about
the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else."  In
it, he details the era he hopes we are entering now — a world in which
the United States would "no longer dominate the global economy,
orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures."  He asserts that the
"rise of the rest" is the "great story of our time, and one that will
reshape the world.  The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling
movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the
United States.  This economic growth is producing political confidence,
national pride, and potentially international problems."

Obama
seems bound and determined to drive America over a cliff and make
Zakaria's vision of the future a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Obama went
to work from his first day in office to make Zakaria's wishful thinking
about America's decline a reality.  As the most powerful man in the
world, he would level the playing field, even if it meant cutting
America off at the knees.  Good and evil would be made equivalent, with
evil sanctioned by the world's only remaining superpower.  He turned
against our allies (particularly Israel) and showed them that America
could not be relied on.  He taxed us into poverty and stirred up racial
strife to make us all less safe.  He has enabled Russia to re-emerge as a
world power, and the Islamic jihadists are bolder than ever.

Obama
vowed to make America just another nation — unexceptional — and he
has.  It's not that other nations have risen.  They haven't.  It's that
Obama has dismantled American hegemony and diminished our standing in
the world.

And
so, during the Muslim massacre at a Nairobi mall, whom did Kenyan
officials call for help?  They called Israel.  Obama is Kenyan, with
close relatives in the country.  It is his native land, the country
where his father was born.  So you might think he would have sent help,
but his father (and stepfather) were Muslim; perhaps that is why he
always comes down on the side of the jihad.

Where
is the media coverage?  This is Obama's native land — where is his
condemnation of the vicious sharia?  His silence is sanction and
support.

And
in general, the U.S. is glaringly absent in this worldwide fight for
freedom against Islamic jihad killers.  Here is where America should be
leading from the front, or the side, but at least from somewhere.  I am
ashamed for my country.

Kenya
has been a beacon for democracy in Africa.  But Africa has come under
the boot of Islam under a post-American U.S. president who is aiding and
abetting the global jihad.  Obama aided Islamic supremacists in Egypt,
Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria.  And Islamic supremacists have been waging a
vicious jihad in Mali, Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania…the whole
continent.  This is the horror of Islamic supremacism.

Egypt, in a fierce rebuke of Obama and his patronage of the Muslim Brotherhood, on Monday banned the Brotherhood.
 Here in America the Muslim Brotherhood should be designated a
terrorist organization like Hamas (an MB group), along with its proxies
in the U.S. such as CAIR, ISNA, MSA, and MAS.  Despite Egypt's massive
rejection of Islamic supremacism, and despite the recent rash of Muslim
on non-Muslim attacks, the jihad-aligned media is digging in and whitewashing Islam and jihad, while doing everything they can to make Obama look good.

But
despite their best efforts, that task is getting harder and harder.
 And the absence of America acting in the defense of freedom across the
world is proof that Ayn Rand was right when she said that "the spread of
evil is the symptom of a vacuum.  Whenever evil wins, it is only by
default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can
be no compromise on basic principles."

And the Obama presidency is an epic moral failure.

Excellent piece Ms. Geller! My prayer is that this is a period of growth which we will emerge from stronger than ever. Our Forefathers seemed to know something like this would happen and they gave us the tools to deal with it. May we use them wisely!

If this is the kind of literature he is spending time with, well…what can we expect. If you corrupt your eye gate with that kind of thing, you are bound to dig your own grave. Not everybody is, or wants to be Christian I guess, but Mr Obama, there is a wonderful piece of literature written over a long period of time, and which is the source of great wisdom and spiritual strength in times of trouble, it’s called the Holy Bible, try it.

He does not sound like a European. He’s a black. He hates whites.
I don’t understand how both American conservatives and European liberals have colluded to caste him as a Euroweenie.
He hates you guys! Americans and Europeans are two branches of the same trunk. Get rid of the interloping populations who seek to enslave you.

Could someone vet this Amina Mohamad Somali-Kenyan?
My alarm bells are going off looking at her bio and her statements.
She’s like something out of a John Le Carre novel. Within a few months of becoming a senior member of the Kenyan government her co religionists and compatriots set off a spectacular attack in Nairobi. Is she a possible candidate for the premiership in Kenya? Or a UN Consulship? Do some digging.

Sam – why the pseudonym? Why not just use your real name Ahmed? Or is it Mohammed?
Your analogy is typical Muslim propaganda. Comparing the Jews to Muslims is silly. The Jews have never been murdering marauders like Muslims, bent on dominating all other religions. And your assertion that Christians carried out the holocaust displays your complete lack of knowledge of historical fact.
Typical Muslim talking points.
Go back to your cave, you 7th century ape.

You would have a point if islam were indeed a “religion” instead of an ideologically driven, self-proclaimed enemy military force and existential threat to our culture, our people, our future and that of the entire civilized world.
But you either are or want to be part of that descent into Hell, don’t you?

The Kitos Wars 130s against Rome pretty much finished of Jews as a conventional military power. Since then, until Israel emerged from the assheap of the Ottoman Empire, the only power Jews have had militarily is the ability to fund expeditions by various governments. Sassoon for example built the Raj and started the Opium wars.

I would have voted for Hillary in 2008 but you fools fell for the lethal siren song of Hussein.
I watched the 2008 campaign unfold as if watching a slasher flick and I pleaded with you: Don’t go into the basement! Don’t go into the basement!
But you and every obama fool and traitor voted for this enemy agent for Hell to bring YOUR COUNTRY down!
And after all the damage he has done and all the land mines he’s planted to dismember America for years in the future I promise you I will never vote for a Democrat again.
America is taking a hard right turn, “sam,” so get with us or keep your head down — good luck!
You went into the basement where it’s fetid and rat infested with the biggest, fattest rat being obama.

President Baraq Hussein Obama, Jr. is similar to President Ronald Wilson Reagan in foreign policies.
Both are the lovers of al’Quran and Soon’Nah.
Both of them considered Islam an ideology of freedom and democracy!
Both are two-term presidents of long-lasting socio-economic legacies.
Under their stewardship, Islam and Islamic forces prospered to a heightened level both home and abroad.

The only thing shameful here is your total lack of historical knowledge and your absolute ignorance of anything discussed and/or reported here.
Typical attack: if you can’t refute the data (the truth); attack the messenger.
Pathetic.

When looking for a suitable historical analogy for our enemy-retreater-wrecking ball-in-chief we need to go outside of American history to 1970s Chile where the socialist senator turned president Salvador Allende nearly wrecked his country. Hopefully we won’t need a Pinochet to save us.

As this above article futher explains Obama is unfit to be the President of the United States. Obama should be impeached, then removed from office, then tried for treason.

Re: “Obama has single-handedly extinguished that light”
First, thank you for the very informative Atlas Shrugs email updates.
Next, I have to disagree with you regarding “obama has dismantled America” single-handedly; There are many reasons for this disagreement however, first on the list has to be that obama is a retarded puppet.
When bayrack was a kid, he was a member of the “Choom Gang” in Hawaii. These kids with their young developing minds set around all day and night smoking weed. Weed destroyed bayrack’s mind and left him with only the ability to rap using reasonable English if he had a teleprompter.
So, how did someone with no talent nor any accomplishments who had never had a real job other than community organizer get into the Whitehouse? The sad thing is that the average American (and many who should know) does not realize that a huge national-international machine pushed their retarded puppet into the Whitehouse and are now pulling the strings. Not only does this huge machine have their tool in the Whitehouse, they have pushed their tools into positions through out our American society and are now turning the screws to complete the destruction of America. Hopefully, our Republic is not past the point of no return on its tumble into the dustbowl of history to join all the other great nations and civilizations that had their turn at greatness.
