The End of Obamaworld

[Kaslin]

In denouncing Republicans as "scared of widows and orphans," and castigating those who prefer Christian refugees to Muslims coming to America, Barack Obama has come off as petulant and unpresidential.

Clearly, he is upset. And with good reason.

He grossly, transparently underestimated the ability of ISIS, the "JV" team, to strike outside the caliphate into the heart of the West, and has egg all over his face. More critically, the liberal world order he has been preaching and predicting is receding before our eyes.

Suddenly, his rhetoric is discordantly out of touch with reality. And, for his time on the global stage, the phrase "failed president" comes to mind.

What happened in Paris, said President Obama, "was an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share."

And just what might those "universal values" be?

At a soccer game between Turkey and Greece in Istanbul, Turks booed during the moment of silence for the Paris dead and chanted "Allahu Akbar." Among 1.6 billion Muslims, hundreds of millions do not share our values regarding women's rights, abortion, homosexuality, free speech, or the equality of all religious faiths.

Set aside the fanatics of ISIS. Does Saudi Arabia share Obama's views and values regarding sexual freedom and the equality of Christianity, Judaism and Islam? Is anything like the First Amendment operative across the Sunni or Shiite world, or in China?

In their belief in the innate superiority of their Islamic faith and the culture and civilization it created, Muslims have more in common with our confident Christian ancestors who conquered them than with gauzy global egalitarians like Barack Obama.

"Liberte, egalite, fraternite" the values of secular France, are no more shared by the Islamic world than is France's affection for Charlie Hebdo.

Across both Europe and the United States, the lurch away from liberalism, on immigration, borders and security, fairly astonishes.

But again, understandably so.

Many of the Muslim immigrants in Britain, France and Germany have never assimilated. Within these countries are huge enclaves of the alienated and their militant offspring.

Consider the Belgium capital of Brussels. Belgium's home affairs minister Jan Jambon said his government does not "have control of the situation in Molenbeek."

Brice De Ruyver, a security adviser to a former Belgian prime minister says, "We don't officially have no-go zones in Brussels, but in reality, there are, and they are in Molenbeek."

According to The Wall Street Journal, after the Paris attacks, "French security forces ... conducted hundreds of antiterror raids and placed more than 100 suspects under arrest. ... France has some 11,500 names on government watch lists."

How many of those 11,500 are of Arab descent or the Muslim faith?

The nations of the EU are beginning to look again at their borders, and who is crossing them, who is coming in, and who is already there.

And the world is reawakening to truths long suppressed. Race and religion matter. To some they are life-and-death matters. Not all creeds, cultures and tribes are equally or easily assimilated into a Western nation. And First World nations have a right to preserve their own unique identity and character.

When Obama says that to prefer Christian to Muslim refugees is "un-American," he is saying that all the U.S. immigration laws enacted before 1965 were un-American. And, so, too, were presidents like Calvin Coolidge who signed laws that virtually restricted immigration to Europeans.

Barack Obama may be our president, but who is this man of the left to dictate to us what is "un-American"?

Were presidents Harry Truman and Woodrow Wilson, who called ours a "Christian nation," un-American? Did the Supreme Court uphold our "universal values" with Roe v. Wade in 1973 and the Obergefell decision on same-sex marriage last June?

The race issue, too, has returned to divide us.

Half a century after Selma bridge, we have "Black Lives Matter!" on college campuses claiming that universities like Missouri, Princeton, Yale and Dartmouth are riddled with institutional racism.

Attention must be paid, and reparations made, by white America. And a new generation of academic appeasers advances to grovel and ask how the university might make amends.

In Europe, tribalism and nationalism are on the march. Peoples and nations wish to preserve who they are. Some have begun to establish checkpoints and ignore the Schengen Agreement mandating open borders. Eastern Europeans have had all the diversity they can stand.

With Syrian passports missing, with ISIS besieged in its Syria-Iraq laager and urging suicide attacks in New York and Washington, we may be witness to more terrorist massacres and murders in the States.

The time may be at hand for a moratorium on all immigration, and a rewriting of the immigration laws to reflect the views and values of Middle Americans, rather than those of a morally arrogant multicultural elite.

Obamaworld is gone. We live again in an us-versus-them country in an us-versus-them world. And we shall likely never know another.

“...Obama has come off as petulant and unpresidential.”

Well Pat, maybe it’s news to you, but none of us are surprised how unpresidential “O” is.

In fact, we’d be shocked if he had BEEN ‘presidential’.

Obama was never Presidential and he is never going to be until/unless the existing model and fundamental pre-requisites for “US President” are entirely diminished or maybe, altogether eliminated.

I hope enough people see this for what it is. With Obama we see what you get when you elect a president who is very very Liberal. A Vote for Hillary will be a vote for more of the same.

[annieokie]

Even many democrats see Obama as a fool with his importation of Syrian terrorists. Er, I mean “refugees”""""....

I think that number will grow if he keeps on with his insanity,(as he will as he just can't help himself.

Seems even the Democrats in congress are jumping ship, at least some of them perhaps have not totally abandoned their loyalty and love for America. What do they have to fear by opposing this lame duck prez now? Hope more get the nerve to actually STOP the lame duck prez., or join to arrest him.

Did you just call Zero DAESH? rofl. Sure he is.

Good pic of President La-.

PAT sure is Captain Obvious, LOL! The Democrats are melting down, with Obama.

The Republican House speaker is on the same page as Obama on Syrian and Iraqi "refugees," so do you really expect Democrats to do any better?

[ek_hornbeck]

who is this man of the left to dictate to us what is "un-American"?

The catch-phrase "un-American" has become an Orwellian inversion of meaning. "Un-American" used to mean anything that was opposed to American traditional institutions and culture. Now "Un-American" has come to mean anything and everything that subverts these institutions and culture in the name of "diversity."

      "[But] when people said, 'Well, can't we work that out administratively by adding resources, delegating certification, maybe even collapsing all of this into a more expedited, accelerated process across the board?' The answer wasn't, 'Well, no, statutorily we wouldn't be able to do that.' The answer was, 'We don't have the staff.' "That's just a matter of mechanics, it's not a matter of principle or statute," [Rep. Gerry] Connolly [D-VA] said. "And that's not a good enough reason for me to vote no. And I think a lot of the other Democrats felt the same way." The Obama administration's eleventh-hour...

Obama’s Dem Allies Revolt Over Syria

Daily Beast ^ | 19 Nov 15 | Tim Mak

      Top Democrats are starting to break with the president over Syria, further weakening his waning influence inside his own party. The Paris terrorist attacks have been a game-changer on the Democratic side of the aisle, prompting allies of President Barack Obama President Barack Obama to revolt against his national security policies—for many, his efforts in Iraq and Syria have been weak gruel. Leading Democratic national security thinkers have begun to diverge from the president’s viewpoints to urge more aggressive action, and to think more strategically about how to combat terrorism worldwide. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the most...

[ek_hornbeck]

I stand corrected, thank you.

If even some Democrats see the light on the "refugees", what's Paul Ryan's excuse for sticking up for Obama?

[Responsibility2nd]

Polls indicate some 60 % of American don’t want Syrian terrorists/refugees here in the US.

I believe the polls lie. Probably closer to 90 %. Anyway - Hitlery has jumped on the pro-refugee bandwagon which should lower her chances even more.

Jarrett: Obama Not 'Lame Duck,' 'Really Big Things' Coming
White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett said criminal justice reform that reduces the prison population would make America safer.

Jarrett also said President Obama is focused on tackling the issue along with Congress and is not a "lame duck." Obama has directed federal agencies to "ban the box," which prohibits them from asking about an applicant's criminal history. Jarrett said Obama wants Congress to do the same for federal contractors as well, which requires congressional action.

In addition, the Justice Department has decided to release about 6,000 inmates from federal prison who were convicted of drug-related offenses. ....................

Our first stop will be a tour of the White House. That’s friendly, isn’t it?

Hope he blows Hussein's mind with his clock making skills!

[rawcatslyentist]

I’d settle for having Obama stripped of his citizenship

Indonesia would be the ones that would have to do that!

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Agree, but for the same reasons Pat mentions in his article, Obama will realize his goals will not be complete as he nears the end of his term, and a crisis, followed by marshal law and an indefinite postponement of elections may be in the works.
