Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and afterWW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
- "We're no longer a Christian nation"
- "America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean-spirited." Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to
23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, "America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat theirpeople like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Obama: “Ugh,did this guy vote communist? Ugh, If not, screw him, Ugh, he’s just an old white guy, Ugh, we’s got wealth to spread around”!
Dear Harold,
Your letter has been forwarded to the IRS, FBI & Secret Service, expect to be meeting with them shortly for questioning my agenda. I won.
As-Salamu ‘Alaykum, you racist cracker,
His Supreme Solar Imperial Majesty, Zero I
And exactly what is he gonna do if he *does* get a visit from the SS?
Harold is safe for the moment. The SWAT team is busy fighting the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico and the Key Stone Cops went out for donuts.
I’d watch out for Obama’s goosestepping “Youth Corps”. Their spitballs can take out an eye.
Ping.
>> What part of the letter was even remotely a threat of physical violence?

“I’m gonna shake my cane at them disrespectful little punks and tell them to get off my damn lawn!”
>I’d watch out for Obama’s goosestepping “Youth Corps”. Their spitballs can take out an eye.
You forgot the ‘e.’
Thus proving their point that this sailor was a dangerous subversive member of the militia movement out to overthrow the government.

The crap-heads shouldn’t have been stomping in his lawn... there’s a perfectly good walk-way right THERE!
Well have you forgotten - death panel as well? This poor old man isn’t going to get anymore red or blue pills! His primary doctor may as well forget about getting him anything add comfort to this man’s last days
Many of them would be standing with you now if they could, I am quite sure!
Keep up the fight, old man. We just may need you now more than ever.
