Sowell: Giuliani Versus Obama

The firestorm of denunciation of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark — especially at a time when there are much bigger issues, including wars raging, terrorist atrocities and a nuclear Iran on the horizon.

Against that background of strife and dangers on the world stage, it may seem as if Barack Obama's feelings, or Rudolph Giuliani's opinion about those feelings, should not matter so much, especially when it is hard to know with certainty how anyone feels. Yet when someone is the leader of a great nation at a historic juncture, it is more than idle curiosity to know what drives him.

It is not clear what the basis was for so much outrage at Mayor Giuliani's opinion about President Obama. Was it that what Giuliani said was demonstrably false? Was it that Barack Obama is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty?

Anyone who simply looks at the factual evidence as to whether Obama loves America, or does not, will find remarkably little to suggest love and a large amount of evidence, over a long period of years, showing his constant close association with people fiercely hostile to this country. Jeremiah Wright was just one in a long series of such people.

Barack Obama's campaign promise to "fundamentally change the United States of America" hardly suggests love. Nor did his international speaking tour in 2009, telling foreign audiences that America was to blame for problems on the world stage.

The two things Liberals hate most:

1. Patriotism
2. Having their patriotism questioned

His candidacy showed how far their rot and corrosion had hollowed out the core of America.

I think 0bama is too lazy to be the Antichrist. But he does work for him, and is preparing the way

I couldn't have put it any better, that's exactly what I believe and how I feel about that traitorous imposter. He was born to an America-hating Marxist who was impregnated by another Godless America-hating Marxist, and his early education was in n hard core Islamic school in a foreign nation.

I have to ask, how in God's green earth did that phoney-baloney radical commie be elected to ANY government office in the US??

The only answer I keep coming up with is that the American people may have elected the future AntiChrist to the highest and most powerful office in the world TWICE. If not actually him, at least his forerunner.
