The Architect of Destruction By Maureen Scott
AMAZING ESSAY!
Maureen
Scott is an ardent American patriot who was born in Pittsburgh , PA ,
and retired to Richmond , VA , in 2000. Free from the nine-to-five grind
of writing for employers and clients, she began writing political
commentary to please herself and express her convictions. Our Pledge of
Allegiance, a military band playing the National Anthem, and the wisdom
of our Founding Fathers, inspire her passion and views. Her life is
guided by a firm belief that truth is the most important virtue, and
that God knows what He is doing with her.
The Architect of Destruction By Maureen Scott
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .
Rather
it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart
where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.
Think:
Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S.or its people, with
deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our
sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most
patriotic Americans, he gets “goose bumps” when a band plays “The Star
Spangled Banner,” or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of
“ America the Beautiful?” Does his heart burst with pride when millions
of American flags wave on a National holiday – or someone plays “taps”
on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we
as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is
doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our
values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who
showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops
as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn’t have
grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America ,
penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and
life for their children.
Away
from this country as a young child, Obama didn’t delight in being part
of America and its greatness. He wasn’t singing our patriotic songs in
kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and
eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather
he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn’t really
understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the
basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to
the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions
were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue
theUnited States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.
He
has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring,
complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or
one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short
time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the
contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing
tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or
opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his
Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any
American who opposes his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has
noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such
dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly,
his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, and anxiety
among the people of America , rather than uniting us (even though he was
presented to us as the “Great Uniter”). He creates chaos for the sake
of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue.
Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a
state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive
toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through
such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and
mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should
be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more
considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and
self-assured.
Not
a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our
rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial
appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of
power.
· Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.
·
Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue
against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming
and trustworthy force.
· Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people – on a daily basis!
Obama
has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of
cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than
building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America , and the
epitome of a Demagogue.
