If the President doesn't stand for Freedom

If the President of the United States does not stand for freedom, who will?

In a time of crisis, with lives in the balance, in the conflict between two powerful ideologies -- one that prizes freedom, one that would strangle its people in a totalitarian grip -- an American president spoke directly to those whose lives and liberties were most threatened and told them ...

What? Not that we stand with them. Not that the fists and clubs and boots that rain down on them wound us all. Not, as the founders said far more eloquently than I, that freedom is God's -- or Allah's, if he would prefer to say it that way -- gift to us all. Not that (more)

It is not a matter of “if.” He does not stand for freedom. He will enslave all of us if we let him.

It goes way beyond this; two weeks ago the leftist press was telling us that Obama’s Cairo speech had changed the course of history. Not only had he brought about a pro-western faction victory in Lebanon, he had emboldened young Iranians to dream for change. Well, just as in the climate change bill, pitch reality out the window when the fabricator steps to the podium.

The President doesn’t stand for freedom here in America, so why on earth would he stand for freedom anywhere else?

His tax plan has turned all working people in to slaves to the state.

he just happens to Back, Amedinijad, Kim Jong Il, Hugo Chaves, the brothers Castro, China, any 2 bit African dictator you can name.

He may be a Marxist @$$hole but it is not his timidity that is causing him to not condemn evil....because he approves the evil in the world.

The pundits who condemn him are still looking at Zer0bama through free society beer goggles but Zer0bama doesn’t even pretend to be the president of a free nation, but ruler and dictator.

“the President doesn’t stand for Freedom”

...freedom involves liberty which leads to individual choices...

...the left abhors ANYTHING that doesn’t involve the state.........

Until our country can pull itself together and return to what we really are, not what the President wants us to be, we have no business in Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Syria, etc. I am fast getting to the point, I don’t give a dam what happens over there.....not until we pull our country back where we belong. We can’t help others until we fix ourselves.

That’s because the left is populated by degenerates, sex perverts and sex deviates, communists, socialists, Marxists, wimps, sissies, cowards and atheists.

I am in total agreement with you. I bet he has a crown that he wears around in his bedroom.
