Oh America, what have we done - what are we doing?!! Our country was an iconic symbol of freedom, liberty, compassion, loyalty, patriotism - all practiced UNDER GOD - always ready to help in times of natural disasters and the proliferation of malevolence. Then we were subjected to a terroristic act which changed our lives - perhaps, forever. 9/11/01 brought us to our knees - not when it came to avenging the attacks - we certainly had strength enough for that - but emotionally. Suddenly our feelings of security were shaken. A foreign entity had attacked us in our homeland. Al Queda, Bin Laden - names which most of us had never heard before - were front and center in the news and in our minds. President Bush promised us those barbarians would hear from us - and he kept his promise. It came at a very dear price - we lost many of our brave soldiers.

On Jan. 10, 2007, President Bush announced a dramatic shift in U.S. strategy with the deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Iraq. By early August, field commanders began reporting better cooperation from Iraqi citizens, and U.S. combat deaths were declining. In 2011, the situation in Iraq was so good that the Obama administration was actually trying to take credit for it, with Vice President Joe Biden declaring that Iraq “could be one of the great achievements of this administration.”

Excerpts from October 21, 2011 Remarks by Obama on ENDING THE WAR IN IRAQ:

"As a candidate for President, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of 2011. Last year, I announced the end to our combat mission in Iraq. And to date, we’ve removed more than 100,000 troops. Iraqis have taken full responsibility for their country’s security.

So today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year. After nearly nine years, America’s war in Iraq will be over. The United States is moving forward from a position of strength. The long war in Iraq will come to an end by the end of this year. And as we welcome home our newest veterans, we’ll never stop working to give them and their families the care, the benefits and the opportunities that they have earned."

He ended the war all right - and admitted the birth and growth of ISIS. As to our Veterans being given the care they deserve: A year after Americans recoiled at new revelations that sick veterans were getting sicker while languishing on waiting lists, the number of patients facing long waits at VA facilities HAS NOT DROPPED AT ALL. The Associated Press has found that the number of medical appointments delayed 30 to 90 days has largely stayed flat. THE NUMBER OF APPOINTMENTS THAT TAKE LONGER THAN 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE HAS NEARLY DOUBLED!!!
(Where's all that work Obama promised would be done to rectify this situation. Is this his idea of what they earned? DISGRACEFUL!!)

And what about the solutions to the new problems we continue to face? Despite what happened after 9/11, Obama has sanctioned the incredible and unconscionable influx of illegal immigrants, from multiple countries, who have absolutely no desire to integrate, yet keep demanding concessions of the Administration. This Administration, of course, is more concerned with political correctness and pandering for votes...... and so have....without second thoughts, surrendered our culture. YES, OUR CULTURE!!

Did you know that it has become necessary to send representatives into our high schools to warn them because ISIS' indoctrination has become so successful that our impressionable students are becoming susceptible to their vile propaganda. WHY HAS THIS HAPPENED? BECAUSE THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS GIVEN ISIS THE KEYS TO AMERICA.

American History Courses have been deleted from many colleges. We have allowed Obama's negative view of our country to become the predominant one. We have seen his reluctance to wear a flag pin; his ability to listen to a preacher shout "God Damn America" for twenty years; to stand with his hands by his crotch while the National Anthem is played (yet devotedly mention that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth"); to bow to foreign leaders on foreign lands; and to apologize-over and over again - for the U.S..

Where can our students find chapters in their textbooks, or teachers, and especially professors, who extol the compassion, the goodness, the magnanimity of our country? Obama is supposed to be a great orator - when have you heard him mention how he achieved the American dream - to its ultimate limits. When have you heard him mention how black people, with the support of a white President and white soldiers, some who made the ultimate sacrifice, abolished slavery? When have you heard him list the multitide of times and countries which we helped through natural disasters, malevolent dictators, even genocide? We live in a country in which we should be proud and loyal.

Our basic ethics and principles are honorable ones!! But where is the patriotism!!! Why are we being force-fed racial division and class warfare? We are allowing illegals who are desirous of caliphates and entitlements to live among us, proselytize for their countries and spread their agendas. It has to stop!! The borders have to be sealed.

Memorial Day and Fourth of July are coming up. We should be out there celebrating our America. There should be speeches...... but certainly not like the commencement address at Tuskegee University which FLOTUS, Michelle, gave. Directing her remarks to her African-American audience, she spoke from her own experience on racial inequality: “The road ahead is not going to be easy,” Michelle said. “It never is, especially for folks like you and me.” (Gee, that sounds biased to me!)

Let's march!! Let immigrants know that we are U.S. citizens and PATRIOTS! We should fly our flag, wear a piece of clothing displaying the image of our flag, or sing our National Anthem and let anyone who protests that their country is not represented, understand that this is OUR COUNTRY and they should DEFER TO AMERICA - NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
