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

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.

Right... but “O” has clay feet... with all that money, couldn’t they have chosen someone less transparently bogus?

They sent the missile, and despite various odd quirks and behaviors, it seems to be succeeding in destroying the target.

It really doesn’t seem that long ago when Reagan was President and love of country and patriotism was something to be proud of and excited about.

It would have been dismissed as an absurd fantasy that someday we’d have a President who actively hates America, the very country he governs, with a seething passion.

How far we’ve fallen.

"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."

The news media hate Cruz, yet adore the man who's contempt for this country compels him to rip it apart.

They are the spawn of Satan, whether they know it or not.

George W. Bush loved America,

W loved the Ruling Class, and he's the one who restarted this Big Government mess.

Reagan also won landslide elections and helped other Republicans win. But it turns out that the GOP hated his political philosophy and did everything it could do over the past 25 years to purge it out of the party.
