It seems America has a steely determination to kill herself.
Let's look at the events of the last few days, since January 12, 2014.
Any one of these actions would be insane, if one wanted to protect America from radical Islam. Taken as a whole, it shows a pattern of Islamic affiliation, on the part of Barack Obama, that even liberals can no longer ignore. Further, that was only the last week's outrages. If you wish to browse deeper into Obama's collaboration with Radical Islam, please peruse Nachum's List. There are, literally, hundreds of similar examples. Most notable are Obama's expressed viewpoints, in which he has stated over the years: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” [The Muslim call to prayer is] “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.” “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.” “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.” “[W]e will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities.”
Some of these utterances are absolute gaslighting, and taken as a whole, show a great affection for Islam -- and a complete misjudging of who radical Muslims are.
The American news media, which seems to serve only as a propaganda vessel for the White House, never asks the hard question: Is Obama sabotaging America? In fact, the opposite is true: They act in concert with Obama. They cover for Obama and write articles that whitewash Islamic atrocities, and blame the United States for acts of Islamic terror. They plead for us not to 'backlash' against an aggressive and deadly extreme religious movement. They pontificate that we should surrender our First Amendment right of free expression, in order to avoid 'offending' Islam. There is a catch: Nearly everything America stands for offends Islam. It seems, oft times, that Islam is the Religion of the Perpetually Aggrieved. After all, a publisher cannot mention pigs without offending Islam. One may not depict Mohammad in any graphic, photograph, or cartoon, without offending Islam. A woman may not even uncover her face, without offending Islam.
It is an odd phenomenon, that a citizenry often elects a leader that leads in a manner that is directly counter to their own best interests. This tendency can be seen over and over again history: Israel elects enemies of the Zionist movement that brought Israel into existence. Germany permitted the rise of Hitler, a man who was filled with rage and who brought the nation, eventually, to its knees. Latin America, having had disastrous results with Socialism, repeatedly elect leaders who are further to the left than the ones who brought them ruin.
Now we have elected -- twice! -- Obama, whose love of Islam was not concealed, and we did so only eight years after the World Trade Center terror of 9/11. Let us stipulate, for the purposes of a thought experiment, that Obama is not an ally of Islamic extremists: If Obama WAS a committed Islamic jihadist who hated America, Jews, and Christianity, how, exactly, would his behavior be different?
America must steer off this suicidal path. We must chastise, and if necessary, remove Obama from power -- or at the minimum, bind his hands from action that would further harm us. The news media, consistently remiss and seemingly in league with forces that would destroy us, must be indicted by the citizenry, and we must demand that they embrace and defend the culture and nation that allowed them the freedoms they enjoy.

Your list was cited in my editorial. Ping....
One could make the case for it being homicide. The slow death we are experiencing is deliberate, methodical, and evil. It is being done TO us, not BY us..
If we do not fight against homicide, is that not a form of suicide?
I am giving you a standing L.
Ping to Foundahardheadedwoman, and Elsie, I didn’t happen to use your source material after all. My apologies....
Thank you! Not sure what a Standing L looks like, but it still sounds good!
Yeah, you’re right. And your tag line highlights the issue..
“If Obama WAS a committed Islamic jihadist who hated America, Jews, and Christianity, how, exactly, would his behavior be different?”
Great article. I have often thought that what our elected leaders are doing in this country defies comprehension, unless you factor in concepts such as purposeful, premeditated treason.
Well said...0bama is a liar and a traitor and should be impeached post haste, sadly most politicians in either party don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do it.
A succinct and accurate take on it.
Laz, as one who knows you primarily by your penchant for ribaldry, I must say how very impressed I am with this essay, both content and style. Well done.
I worked harder on this essay than any other previous. Approximately 8-10 hours of collation of points and proofs. Thank you very much for your kind words, they mean a lot... given the level of effort I gave this. :)
Intelligent, thoughtful, accurate and well written. Thank you.
And I thank you, sincerely, for your kind words.
All islam is radical. If you do not believe it, read their book.
A topic for another essay, perhaps, but I have not seen in the Koran where your point is disproved.
