What are we to make of a president who wont fight a terrorist army but will deploy 3,000 Marines to fight Ebola?
An administration that pre-emptively announces troop withdrawals while, in the next breath, declares global warming the greatest threat to America?
A White House that wont make a single phone call to free a decorated Marine in Mexico but will trade five Taliban terrorists with American blood on their hands for a likely deserter?
Our ambivalent-American leadership lacks the moral foundation let alone moral compass to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, righteousness and evil.
In my infantryman brain having faced Islamists in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay these comparisons just dont compute.
Why would we definitively rule out deploying forces to fight radical Islamists but rush to deploy them to fight a virus?
Why do we retreat on the battlefield but charge full speed against the weather?
And why cant we distinguish between valor and desertion?
These things make no sense to me, and to common-sense-led Americans everywhere.
But then I channel my Ivy League brain having spent six years combined at Princeton and Harvard and it suddenly makes sense.
I went to school with Barack Obama, John Kerry and Susan Rice. I heard the same lectures, sat in the same small groups and had the same classmates not literally, but figuratively. President Obama and company are part of the same educated class, making their reaction to todays chaotic, complicated and dangerous world painfully predictable.
A great many of President Obamas actions and policies result in diminished American leadership and power, directly or indirectly undermining Americas stature, economy and military for decades to come.

THIS is the moral relativism against which Pope Benedict XVI issued several warnings.
"We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate standard consists solely of one's own ego and desires."
Prophetic warning from Pope Benedict XVI
Catholic ping!
Face it-the “O” administration has been a slam dunk for global terrorism!
Obola's battlefield
We are governed by a ruling class of elites, who come from a small select group of universities and families. This is true of both Republicans and Democrats.

More and more like Caligula every day.
Caligula fought the mythical god Neptune by having the Roman Legions throw their spears into the sea, declared victory and then collected sea shells as war plunder.
Obama fights the weather.
At least the Romans won a victory and some cool sea shells, which is more than we can say for Obama.
Soon to be ruled by the spawn of illegals.
The Sultan is “fighting” ebola by conniving to bring it to America. It is Allah’s will that Infidel America be cut down and subjected to Shariah and the Caliphate which the Sultan would probably like to relocate to DC or New York.
I was thinking the same thing. Next, he'll give Bo a government position, and create a pantheon to his golf clubs.
I was immediately reminded of Caligula’s supposed invasion of Britain: “There also seemed to be a northern campaign to Britannia that was aborted.[67] This campaign is derided by ancient historians with accounts of Gauls dressed up as Germanic tribesmen at his triumph and Roman troops ordered to collect seashells as “spoils of the sea”.
So we send our army to stand uselessly doing work that is NOT their mission while in a disease ridden theater instead of engaging with a true savage foe.
What an horrible deadly joke is being perpetrated on this country.
He isn’t waging war against “weather”, it’s free enterprise he is targeting.
Excellent observation.
I wish more would question, where are the priorities of liberals?
Liberals are more concerned about global warming than about threats posed by ISIS or Islamic terror.
Liberals are more concerned about homosexual marriage than the state of marriage and family in general, and how our children are raised.
Liberals are more concerned with teaching homosexuality and diversity in school, than in teaching the basics, the so-called three “R’s”.
Liberals make excuses for savage behavior among certain peoples, blaming legacies of slavery and discrimination, yet don’t expect such people to adhere to the same standards they themselves adhere to in life.
Liberals care more about saving the whales than saving children being raised in difficult circumstances.
Liberals denigrate charities such as Salvation Army, claiming they violate “separation of church and state”, because they are afraid some needy person being aided by such groups might hear a religious message of some kind.
Liberals push and push for groups such as Boy Scouts to accept homosexuality, when issues of sexuality have nothing to do with those organizations in the first place. Liberals strive to put such organizations out of business rather than let them exist with “imperfect” ideas about homosexuality or global warming or the latest liberal views of an issue.
This is all just off the top of my head. But point being, liberals thought processes are very different than yours and mine. They see the world differently. And when liberals are in positions of power, their world view controls actions they take in those positions of power. What we see with Obama is someone with a liberal worldview which controls everything he does.
"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal.
Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....
...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...
....to increase it's magnetic field....
and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with less electricity, rampant Ebola and GE modified seeds.

Yup, and Caligula was notorious for his extravagant vacations, being out on a lake entertaining himself while he ignored critical events effecting Rome and Caligula established perversity as official Roman policy.
He bankrupted Rome and ran it into the ground and kept his political support high while doing so by stealing money from the productive and using that money to provide the idle Roman entitlement class with the free stuff EBT lifestyle of the day - free food, wine, housing and plenty of extravagant Circus events to keep ignorant masses in line.
Yup, that’s our President to a tee
ISIS just released some battle photos...
Compared to those that are fighting against them...they look comfortable and polished.
Just in time for that fall/winter season...snow!
