Rudy Giuliani had the unmitigated gall last week to question President Obama’s love of country. This has been a standing question about Obama since he ran for President in 2008. How can you love a country that you believe needs to be fundamentally transformed? It’s not like Obama wants to fundamentally transform the United States into some romanticized version of the past. He wants to fundamentally transform the country into his own image. In many ways he’s been successful. We have a large number of Americans who believe court orders are mere suggestions to be ignored and that the executive branch has the power to legislate. These are fundamental transformations away from the Constitution. They also indicate that the President doesn’t really love his country, unless the country follows him.
Giuliani doubled down on his remarks by pointing out that Obama was influenced by communists in the past. Giuliani is right of course, Obama was influenced by communists. His mentor growing up was Frank Marshall Davis, a communist. His mother was a communist. He got his political start in the living room of William Ayers, a communist and a left-wing terrorist. The left-wing press largely covered up for Obama but these connections have been discussed ad nauseum online. The big question is why did it take Giuliani all this time to point any of this out? Maybe the bigger question is why have Republicans been so shy about questioning Obama in this manner? McCain danced around some of this in 2008 but he never hammered Obama over his communist ties. Since assuming office Congressional Republicans have been almost completely silent.
The media’s response to Giuliani has been predictable. How dare anyone question Obama’s patriotism! The office of President is to be held in such high esteem that the media feigns moral indignation when anyone questions Obama. Interestingly when then Senator Obama called then President Bush unpatriotic, the media cheered. The double standard is obvious. The media won’t be asking the President why the country he supposedly loves needs to be fundamentally transformed. They won’t be asking Obama whether leading from behind in the middle east projects a strong America. They know the answers and they know middle America won’t like them. To protect Obama, they ask nothing. Of course if Obama was a conservative Republican they would be all over him.
Giuliani compared Obama to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the latter of which clearly advocates for his country’s position in no uncertain terms. In some ways Netanyahu and Obama make for a good study in contrasts. Netanyahu has very clear international goals for Israel. He’s clear and uncompromising. If need be, Netanyahu will defend his country alone. Obama on the other hand is never clear about the international goals of the United States. He creates red lines and retreats from them. He goes on unnecessary apology tours and refuses to acknowledge Islamic terrorism. No one has any idea what his goal is with ISIS. Giuliani is a neo-con of some sort, which is why he’s quick to defend Israel. However he offers us a good comparison for Obama in Netanyahu. No one would question Netanyahu’s patriotism, it’s clear he has Israel’s best interests at heart. With Obama, he’s so unclear about his goals and he’s so quick to retreat that it begs the question what he’s doing. There’s no reason for retreat, there’s no reason for lack of clarity.
Ultimately the unanswered question surrounding Obama is why, if he loves America, does he want to fundamentally transform the nation? Unfortunately because the press acts as his cheerleaders and because the Republicans are wimps, we won’t get an answer to this question. At least not while Obama is still in office. Even if Obama addresses it in a memoir it’s likely he will accuse his questioners of racism rather than actually answer the question. No doubt Obama will not be then asked whether questioning Bush’s patriotism is the product of racism. The President’s foreign policy directly plays into this question. The United States has projected strength abroad for generations, Obama has shifted to a policy of international weakness. Worse, our international goals used to be clear, now they aren’t. What of this has to do with Obama’s communist upbringing? We’re not going to find out anytime soon. Giuliani is asking all the questions that should have been asked in 2008. It begs the question why the Republicans are seven years late.
Rudy should have stood up six years ago with Rush, as should have the rest of the GOP.
Undoing the crap the man has done (and hasn’t done) is going to be exceedingly hard.
Most didn’t know of Rudy’s Feb. 13 speech until after his later comments when he said “Obama doesn’t love America like us.”
I don’t question Obama’s loyalty and love for the Satan and for Islamic terrorist.
The big deception, the big lie that all they need is jobs and compassion.
Isis in Egyptian mythology is the winged god that married Osiris, the god of the underworld.
Osiris was the son of the supposed first king and queen Neb and Nut.
Isis is supposed to give life, or bring back half god half king Osiris back to life from the underworld.
Many of the occultic practices come from ancient Babylon and Eygpt.
The occult requires in order to summons Satan or the god of the underworld forth, or give him power is violence and shedding of innocent blood.
The world and our country is being lied to by Obama and his minions and the media about the true nature of Isis.
I don’t care how long it has taken to ask the question, I’m just thankful the question is being asked. A side benefit is how ridiculous the enemedia looks when posing the question to the likes of Walker or Cruz.
I STAND WITH RUDY!
The Kenyan is true blue, Red, White and Blue and Brown and Yellow and Green and Lavender and Mauve...
Oddly, only when a Dimocrat occupies the White House.
I loved this speech, it’s great and to the point, wish more people would see it. I’m glad he’s doing it, but wish he had done this years ago.

When it comes to politicians, we’re not hearing any others saying what he’s saying. He’s way out front.
I’m with Rudy.
When leftists like you barking loudly, then RUDY hit a “sore” spot right on!!!
They are all pitiful examples of Americans and Barack Obama is their highly esteemed leader.
Bill Gwatney, Andrew Breitbart, Michael Hastings, and others “hanging” over their heads. John Roberts got the same “message”. Leo just signed up, so Freepers be very careful!!!
You need to look to the powers behind the throne for that....start with the Jarrett/Axelrod cartel and work from there.
Cairo speech’s last five words in Arabic sat the whole middle east on fire and chaos!!!
Any further questions???
Rudy has many flaws. He would have made a helluva president in 2008.
Whatever that means.
Sure Obama loves his country. I just wish he loved the United States.
