But at least Obama didn’t have to wear a tie for the 5 minutes he was not playing golf...
I work with the after-school program. There’s a 5th-grader who’s always sort of preoccupied; his dad is in the National Guard. He’s at home now but this kid is keenly aware that he could be called off at any time.
I hope this kid never has to know what a jackass, criminal jerk his dad’s life is at the mercy of. A foreign enemy combatant who has armed, trained, funded, and given free roam to people who behead whoever they want, if given the chance - and Obama has held the door wide open for them to have these chances.
I say a quiet prayer every time I see that kid, and do what I can to put him at ease.
My son is reading “Animal Farm”. Throughout the morning I’ve heard his laughter at parts that are just too bitingly blatant for him to help but laugh at. He just turned to me and said, “It’s reached the point where the absurdity has gone on so long that it’s not funny any more, and it just makes you feel sick instead.”
I said, “Yeah, where you wonder how this could ever happen.”
“Yeah”, he said.
I said, “That’s kinda the point.”
I didn’t tell him that’s where America is at, and why I’m still fighting.
How many people 5 years ago would think we could ever be where we’re at right now? Obama is worse than even Mitt Romney ever thought - but that’s only because neither Mitt nor any of the “cool people” would truly comprehend what some of us were pointing out.
It’s stopped being funny. Now it just makes a sick ache in the pit of the stomach of anybody who really reads the “book” Obama’s puppet-masters have been writing.
Beheadings? They’re coming here, unless we get a spine and wake the heck up. Some of us have been saying that for 5 years now. Is anybody ready to take this seriously yet?
This journalist was captured twice - once by Islamists in Libya and once by Islamists in Iraq.
When Obama usurped our White House Libya and Iraq were 2 of our chief allies in the war on terror.
Behold what the foreign enemy combatant in our White House was wrought!
I’m glad to come to FR just to see that other people do get it.
Still not much that we can do about it. It at least makes me feel better to share the humor here about these horrible things because feeling trapped and alone is no way to go through life. Still, I wonder how long we will be able to have this tiny corner of the world to connect with others who see what’s happening, too.
We would have needed mass media and education to counteract this. We can’t get ahold of it. No one with money is willing to help. If we can’t educate, we have no hope.
