The President of the United States 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
I am appalled that you bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia ! We are a sovereign nation and bow to no one! The following letter, which I received as an email, expresses my sentiments a lot better than I could. I don’t know who actually wrote it, but he ought to be given an award. You have NO idea what being an American is. You are tearing my country apart.
'YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME'
When you go to Europe and say that Americans are "arrogant, dismissive and derisive" of our allies, you don't speak for me. When you pander to foreign leaders, presuming to speak on behalf of all Americans, apologizing for the actions of President Bush, you don't speak for me. When you desperately try to surrender to the French and the Germans, the Russians and the Saudis, and even our great friends in the U.K. , just for the sake of maintaining your "Messiah" image, you don't speak for me.
You and your wife may not be proud of America , but I am, sir. The Europeans seem to have forgotten who saved their collective asses in World War II, but I haven't. I haven't forgotten the tens of thousands of American fighting men who spilled their blood all across Europe to stop a murderous psychopath and his rampaging army. And I haven't forgotten the tens of thousands more who served in theater after that war, when the threat of Soviet advance through the Fulda Gap was ever present. I haven't forgotten, because I was there, for a time, anyway. I saw the obscenity of the Berlin Wall. I saw what happened to people who tried to escape communist Germany by climbing it, or trying to navigate the surrounding mine fields. I occasionally patrolled that border, mirroring Soviet or Czech patrols. And I remember watching on TV, crying as the wall was finally torn down.
I love Germany and England ( France , not so much) and was ready to put my life on the line to defend them. So were the men I served with. Many Americans continue to serve across Europe in the military uniform of the United States , more willing, apparently, than many Europeans themselves, to preserve the freedom there that we have already paid for with our blood. I spent my money all over Europe , helping those economies flourish and grow, as did many other American servicemen and women who lived and served there. My only thanks was a very small paycheck, some wonderful memories and the knowledge that I was doing something worthwhile that I could be proud of for the rest of my life. I was, until today.
And then some pandering politician comes along and apologizes for all of that. You never served your country in military uniform, sir, so you wouldn't know how positively insulting that is. In fact, you've never done anything for this country but run for office. You won the election and still you're running a campaign instead of acting like the leader of our great nation. And I don't like it one bit.
I want peace. I want it for my family, for my friends and for my country. I've earned it and will continue to do so until the day I die. I want peace with Russia and China , even Iran and North Korea , if it were somehow possible. I want there to be a free exchange of ideas and trade goods and tourism between all of our nations.
But the difference between you and I, sir, is that I would never sell out my country to gain their applause. Maybe you think you're earning their respect and admiration by being weak and apologetic, but I know better. The only thing you did was weaken my country. And I won't forget it.
I am proud of my country, and not even the President of the United States can take that away from me.
Sir, you must stop bankrupting my country and taking it down a road to Socialism. You and the Democrats are tearing this country apart.
Regards, T.L.P. (The writer -- who gave his phone number -- will, for this post, remain anonymous)
And THAT is probably why the Obamaniacs have listed returning vets as possible terror suspects -- they scare hell out of the fascists/socialists now working to destroy the foundations of the country for which these men and woman put their lives on the line! And they should be afraid. VERY AFRAID!
WOW!!!!!!! Just.........WOW!!!! That is an incredible, heartfelt letter! I am speechless....
God bless our veterans, and the men and women currently serving the country in uniform!
If 0 thinks he’s gonna tear down what took over 200 years to build he’s in for a rude awakening.
220 Years to Build the Republic
30 DAYS to Destroy It
RESIGN NOW, Napolitano! You are a national disgrace!
He didn’t bow. His press mouthpiece said so. Who are you going to believe—Obama or your eyes?
Certainly not my grandmother's political party.
They say if you give someone enough rope, eventually they'll hang themselves. Doesn't seem to be working with the rats.
I have served my country and completely understand how this writer feels about this topic. Who does Obama think he is to apologize for the US? I'm not ashamed or apologetic of anything I did while serving my country. The only thing I am ashamed of is that a majority of my countrymen put Obama in office.
Speaking of rope, I believe it was Lenin who once declared that when the communists went to hang the last capitalists, the capitalists would compete to sell them tbe rope.
That appears to be the theme of the Obama MALadministration.
WELL SAID.
Please send those words to the Great Usurper at 1600.
“He didn’t bow. His press mouthpiece said so. Who are you going to believe—Obama or your eyes?”
I like the one so famously quoted. “Who are you going to beleive? Obama or you lying eyes”
Here’s another that fits:
“He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you. He is an idiot.”
Apply this to the mouth piece or his master.

I believe that this administration is setting the stage for returning vets who are going to have to pay for their own health care. There will be outrage all over the country, but if this administration can strike a preemptive blow about how the police force should view such anger, then the administration begins to win that battle now. This man, his wife, and their multiple minions in Congress are dangerous. VERY dangerous.

Aside from the fact that I’m not convinced America IS Obama’s “country”, its a GREAT letter.
Should be put in petition format on line and sent to Obama and all the little political midgets in Europe he met with, including the Big Turk.
While the initial activities of local cops would probably be to do as ordered, my several friends in law enforcement tell me that, once the issue is fully understood, many — not all — but many of THEIR guns would do a 180.
Obama forgets — at his great peril — that many of those cops are former military and don’t like what he’s up to any more than we civilians. It will get VERY NASTY.
Why do you suppose Obamessiah wants to form that National Defense Corps — or whatever he wants to call them — (aka GESTAPO) having allegiance to dur furher???
Having said that, we must be ever mindful of the words of BO’s philosopbical ancestor that time is not on our side:
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’”
Do I have to tell you who said that? Hint: He was a hack Austrian painter (and, yes, he spoke Austrian).
