I Ache for a President Who Loves America
The American Thinker ^ | 10/22/2013 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 10/22/2013 2:03:02 AM PDT by markomalley

If there's one thing that bugs me about the Obama years it is the palpable fact that Obama doesn't love America. The last two weeks has intensified that feeling.

We know why he doesn't love America. It's because he identifies with his Kenyan father's hatred of Western colonialism. If that weren't enough, Obama follows the cultural cues of liberal America, from his lefty mother to his lefty teenage mentors to his lefty college instructors to his lefty radical sponsors in Chicago. Liberals think they are too good for America. Ditto Obama.

Liberals are above things like patriotism, which they demonize as nationalism. Meanwhile liberals want to turn the clock back to tribalism with the reactionary politics they call "identity politics."

Liberals sneer at religion, while practicing the most debased and bloody religions ever invented -- socialism and communism.

And liberals demonize individualism, the notion of the responsible self that undergirds our Western culture. Instead they worship creativity, and reckon that a creative artist is a cut above the ordinary run of humanity.

When you reckon yourself a cut above the rest of humanity it's nothing to upend the regular order of congressional appropriations with periodic shutdown crises and visit bureaucratic conceits like ObamaCare upon a suffering nation. You might try that too if you were a cut above.

"Every day, I jump out of bed with a smile on my face, because it is a joy to have the opportunity to stand with the American people and work to help restore people's faith and optimism in our nation," he concludes. "It's an incredible honor to play a small role in expanding the American dream."

Amen!
I pray for this same man to be our next president!

I’m taking notes on which neighbors/relatives betray America to side with a queer muslim on some Communist jihad to destroy the USA.

Such people are dangerously stupid and shouldn’t be helped or trusted even with small matters.

Obama views America as something that has held him back, and he had to fight to get to the top.

The truth is, Obama was placed where he is.m He is the liberal dream candidate.

I agree with what joe the drunk says,
“clean, articulate has a nice smile.”
Other than that, there is nothing i like about this marxist unAmerican mooselimb punk.

Not so sure about the articulate or nice smile part, either! Without a teleprompter he’s incoherent, and his smile, if you can call it that, is more often a smirk or a sneer,

Come to think of it, Michelle said he’s smelly, so he fails the clean part, too!

In days of old, it was a given, that the POTUS loved America and all that went with it.

Now, since the advent of a self-hating “leader”, we're going to see this kind of misrepresentation crop up all over the place unfortunately.

I’ve been saying for the past five years, to anyone who’ll listen, that Obama doesn’t love America. But I like it better the way the author put it: “I ache for a President who loves America”. Spot on. I ache for the days of Ronald Reagan and his unashamed love of America. George W. Bush loved America, but wasn’t nearly as eloquent when stating it.

Ted Cruz has my support. The man LOVES this country and isn’t ashamed to admit it.

I forget who it was, but one FReeper said it succinctly;

“I love my wife. Now, I want to fundamentally transform her.”

You could find many of your relatives and neighbors back liberalism because they truly think they will get something financial from it. It’s merely a matter to them of chasing after fleeing dollars.

As a person and certainly as a President, “O’s” character is deformed by his pathological hatred for America and Americans.

It’s apparent in whatever he says or attempts.

The simplest and most mundane duties of the ‘President’ are distorted through this prism of his anti-American bias.

He’s SO inimical to what America is and what America means, that he cannot ever be thought of AS a President....but rather as some malicious and dishonest aberration we have to endure.

To ever put his administration clearly in perspective, we’d need to transcend his open and abjectly spiteful animosity for this country ... and I personally, don’t think I can.

How is it possible that he could so thoroughly hate a country which is big enough and sophisticated enough to cultivate, nurture and promote a person like HIMSELF ...all his life and EVEN elect him to the Presidency?

Where else on this earth could a guy with SO little to recommend him, go SO far?

This hypocrisy is too much!

You ask good questions. I have a good answer: Obama is a 50-year-old cruise missile, sent by powers outside the United States. These powers have money and raised and nurtured this cruise missile. I’m a little amazed it hit, but hey, things happen.
