Editor’s Note: This is the second of a two-part series. The first part, titled “The President Who Hates His Country,” can be found in Tuesday’s edition of The Bulletin or online.
Before the November election, legal scholar Henry Mark Holzer wrote — and scrupulously documented — a stunning indictment of Barack Obama in which he stated that Mr. Obama’s repeatedly professed claim to be a patriot is “a fraud on the American people — and an insult to the countless true patriots who, for over two hundred years, have loved and loyally and zealously supported the United States of America.”
“Patriots,” Mr. Holzer concluded, “don’t associate with and derive sustenance from terrorists, America-haters and anti-Semites; they don’t countenance fixed elections; they don’t keep secrets from voters; they don’t intimidate their enemies; they don’t denigrate and degrade our military; they don’t gratuitously interfere with their government’s efforts to protect our country; and they don’t disdain the symbol of this great nation, which for over two centuries men and women have fought and died: the American flag. Whatever Barack Obama is, we can be certain that he is no patriot!”
The events that have followed Mr. Obama’s election, Mr. Holzer says, “have compounded the proof of the president’s lack of patriotism,” which he has recently spelled out in a follow-up article. A few of the many examples he provides of what “a patriotic American president does not do include:
• Bankrupt this country and court massive inflation in order to implement his vision of a fascist/socialist nation.
• Sit on his hands with a straight face while a South American thug insults his country.
• Appoint America-haters to his cabinet.
• Cozy up to a soon-to-be-nuclear-armed Iranian madman.
• Impotently watch the probably-already-nuclear-armed North Korean Stalinists lob a ballistic missile across the Pacific.
• Fail to stanch the flow of illegal aliens across the Mexican-United States border.
• Cut the defense budget.
• Strangle innovation during a serious recession by raising taxes.
• Close Guantanamo Bay without a clue of how to handle the enemy combatants incarcerated there.
• Publicly announce what measures military and CIA interrogators can use to extract information from terrorists.
• Apologize to the world for what has made America great and grovel to persons, nations and institutions unfit to shine our shoes!
• Cede American sovereignty to the American-hating United Nations.
• Defy the Second Amendment and a Supreme Court decision by making an end run that substantially reduces the supply of certain ammunition.
• Repudiate the policy and practice of missile shield installation.”
Some Dare Call It Treason
It is one thing to question a president’s patriotism, but even more serious to accuse him of treason. In an open letter to Mr. Obama on Treason, Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III (U.S. Naval Academy, Class of 1975) minces no words in accusing the president of sending Army forces to Samson, Ala., and Boston in violation of the Constitution. Here are excerpts of his letter:
“I have observed and extensively recorded invidious attacks by military-political aristocrats against the Constitution for twenty years. Now you have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, and deceit. Posing as an imposter president and commander in chief, you have stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment…
“We come now to the reckoning. I accuse you and your military-political criminal assistants of TREASON. I name you and your military criminal associates as traitors. Your criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger. You fundamentally changed our form of government. The Constitution no longer works….
“I identify you as a foreign-born domestic enemy. You are not my president. You are not my commander in chief.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is not alone. John Smith — http://johnsmith.blogtownhall.com/2009/04/25/obama_is_a_traitor.thtml — a blogger on www.Townhall.com, titled a recent article “Obama Is a Traitor.” Commenting on the president’s release of the “torture” memos, Mr. Smith says:
“Given the actions of Barack Obama in recent days, one has to wonder how many soon-to-be released State secrets have been gathered by radical left-wing traitors and hidden in the dark recesses of Washington, awaiting the Manchurian Candidate’s command to publish them…
“The motivation for Obama’s recent intentional disclosure of Top Secret CIA memoranda … was an act committed solely to increase his own political power through appeasement of the radical Left … or was it … guided by the twisted moral imperative uniquely embraced by the Left, which dictates that only those actions that serve to limit individual liberty, punish patriotism, and destroy the traditions and culture of the United States of America are good?...
“Were Obama’s actions motivated by a deeply rooted desire to harm this Nation?...
“Article III of the Constitution defines Treason against the United States as “… levying War against them or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort…”.
“Top Secret information is the highest level of classification that we have on a national level. By definition, such material, if made public, will cause “exceptionally grave damage” to national security…
“The willful disclosure of Top Secret information is an act of Treason against the United States…. A sitting President of The United States of America has committed Treason.”
Messrs. Fitzpatrick and Smith are among a rising tide of voices — in and outside of the military — who have observed with growing horror Mr. Obama’s proclivity to destroy our capitalist economic system, subvert the U.S. Constitution, endanger our military and intelligence services, and obsequiously embrace America’s sworn enemies.
Dr. Jack Wheeler, a consummate Washington insider, goes one step further. “The evidence that the President of the United States is a traitor is mounting. The evidence that the President of the United states is a mortal danger to America’s national security is mounting. The evidence that the President of the United States will not defend America from threats and insults from every two-bit fascist dictator in the world … is not only mounting, it is overwhelming.”
Writer Amy L. Geiger-Hammer states: “I do wonder if Obama should be called a traitor or just incompetent … does he ever talk about what a great country America is?”
And U.K. journalist Gerald Warner echoes that rising tide: “If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people —not even Jimmy Carter. Obama’s problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution.”
Is America Lost?
Multiple lawsuits to find proof that Mr. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be president are ongoing and will ultimately determine if he is an American or Kenyan or Indonesian or U.K. “natural-born” citizen. To this date, he has spent over a million dollars blocking the suits about his still-missing birth certificate, and there is increasing evidence that the birth certificate attested to by FactCheck.org, FightTheSmears.org, and DailyKos.com are forgeries. And of course we still have not seen Mr. Obama’s Selective Service record, medical records, multiple visas, college transcripts, et al.
If Mr. Obama is proven to be the fraud and interloper many suspect, every one of his edicts, bills, laws, dictates, Supreme Court selections, et al, will be overturned , leaving America to cope with serious problems — under the leadership of the incomprehensible Joe Biden — but nothing approaching this hate-America president’s far-left socialist domestic programs and appease-our-enemies foreign policy.
The huge national turnouts at the Tea Parties of April 15 were only the beginning of a movement that was spurred by ordinary Americans waking up to Mr. Obama’s destruction of our economy, his attempts to reshape America into a banana republic, the grave damage he’s inflicted on our military and intelligence services, and his unsavory predilection for embracing our enemies and apologizing non-stop for the most magnificent nation on earth.
In short, they are waking up to the president who hates his country.
Editor Charlotte Baker predicts that “the Tea Parties and other, more aggressive, protests will grow exponentially, and that the Obama juggernaut can and will be stopped.” It’s crucial, she says, “for all Americans to recall the history they learned in school — at least before the left hijacked what used to be known as ‘education.’ The Europeans, Japanese and Russians were all taken over by one form or another of totalitarianism because their combined history was one of absolute rulers — kings, czars and ‘divine’ emperors. They were totally conditioned to tyranny.
“But the monstrous anti-American gang that rigged the voting system on November 4, 2008— as they do routinely in Obama’s Chicago Machine politics — to push Obama into We-the-People’s White House, have shown — even before his inauguration — the kind of overreaching that arrogant tyrants always demonstrate. Hitler, Mao, Tojo and Stalin all got away with overreaching, but they weren’t brutalizing Americans.
“Tolerating totalitarianism is simply not in the genetic code — the DNA — of Americans!” Baker adds. “Freedom and Liberty run in our blood!”
Indeed!
Irregardless of the speculation of Obama’s birthplace, if he were born on the steps of the Capitol, he still has not one cell of American pride, ideals or appreciation for what this country has afforded him.
Reading other sources and comments by so called citizens of this country is truly frightening. We can only blame Obama so much, he saw an in and he took it. The fact that as a country so many could not see what he was all about or did not care is a real problem.
Some days I just want to curl up and hide from this nightmare, wishing there were somewhere to go and escape but, then I think, there is no way in hell that I am going to give this country away to these lunatics without a fight. Our forefathers fought an empire and prevailed, we owe it to them and all that gave up everything before us and our children and the future generations to at least try and do something.
I do believe that when push comes to shove there are more of us then them. The media has manipulated everything with regard to Obama. They will not let our voices be heard but, that’s ok, because they will be in for a rude awakening one of these days.
Exactly what can we do?
If it were simply Obama it wouldnt be so bad.
We could fight Obama, but how do we fight a Supreme Court that wont even listen to the argument about his Birth Certificate.
How do we fight the Democrat led House and Senate who are so enamored with their unbridled power that they support this Usurper in every way.Printing a Trillion Dollars in unbacked currency was insane. The budget is insane, George Bush first bailout bill was insane.What the hell was he thinking.? Is there something in the water in Washington?
It's not overreaching. The Left has finally reached critical mass. America wants to be Socialist - they yearn for it - they have been taught its goodness for the last three generations.
You can't stage a revolt against a system that the overwhelming majority love and adore.
I no longer have faith the the Sheep.
(How's that sentence for verbosity?)
Sheep do not revolt. We will not see the process repeat in our lifetime. It took the Soviet Union four generations to collapse. None of us posting here today will see the American vision restored.
You can't stage a revolt against a system that the overwhelming majority love and adore.
Why not?
George Washington and a few other patriots did.
If Americans stand up and protest, the winds of change will come to blow in our direction.

And we’re to believe 0bama is “Christian.”
Barack Obama is the most successful commnunist traitor mole in history.
There is nobody in second place. Kim Philby was a piker by comparison.
I question it every time I think about what he is doing to this nation. He gave away all the CIA secrets and I’m still waiting for his birth certificate so I can say I was wrong to my friends. Well, Barry where is it?
A Liberal penchant is to define patriotism in his/her own way, ignoring that in the dictionary. For Obalmy it’s defined as admitting (and emphasizing) American’s imperfections (real or imagined). Before that it was vilifying President Bush.
The only good thing to come out of obama's (possibly illegal) presidency is a slap-in-the-face wake up call as to how unworkable/unsustainable far-left liberal ideas are and how dangerous liberal "leadership" is. obama is an object lesson for this country as to why we never want to do this again.
If only we knew where his allegiance was directed.
It could be the sewer system of either DC or Chicago.
Or it could be Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin. (Take your pick.)
At any rate, what we have occupying the White House and the head of our government is a full-blown, America despising Marxist imbecile who is as crazy and narcissistic as is Chavez, Castro, or any of those Marxist and Che loving despots.
