Obama, Iran, Honduras and Independence Day
Barack Obama is the worst president at least since Jimmy Carter, certainly the weakest, and perhaps in 6 months he has already stamped himself as the worst president in our nation's history. It's a bold statement, but let's look at it.
The butchering dictators of Iran, or as Obama respectfully calls it, the Islamic Republic of Iran, have spent the last 2 weeks murdering and beating their own people in an attempt to consolidate their hold on power. The stand for freedom these brave men and women of Iran have made in the face of death reminds one of the same stand our Founding Fathers took in defense of liberty some 230 years ago. Our brothers and sisters in Iran are sons and daughters of liberty. They may not speak the same language or practice the same religion or seek to have the same incarnation of constitutional republican government as we do in America, but they certainly drive home the point that the rights we possess as human beings derive from G-d, and not from the hands of those who seek to rule us.
So in the face of this extraordinary and inspiring courage by the Iranian people what does Barack Obama do? Absolutely nothing. He sat quietly for days, only to come out forcefully against the atrocities being perpetrated by the "Supreme Leader," as Obama respectfully refers to him, after being beaten up in the press from all comers. What strength! Then, after condemning the horrors, he immediately tucked tail and recommitted himself and the people of America to negotiating with men who should be summarily hung for crimes against humanity. And if that weren't enough, he sold the lie that only through the forced implementation of a Palestinian terror state would peace with the Iranian thugs be possible. In doing so, he furthered his quest to box Israel into a corner by demanding the cessation of settlement building, a non-starter for Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and for the immediate resumption of negotiations to divide Jerusalem and carve the Jewish state into an indefensible mess of a country. What a guy!
As if all of this business with Iran weren't enough, we have the developing situation in Honduras, in which the leftist thug of a president Manuel Zelaya disregarded the Honduran Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally seeking a referendum to abolish and rewrite the Honduran Constitution in order to remove the article that implements presidential term limits. When the Honduran legislature and the Honduran Supreme Court ordered him to stop, he fired the top generals and defied the Courts orders and started to implement this referendum illegally. Finally, following the constitutional procedures outlined for this sort of unlawful behavior, the legislature ordered the Honduran military to exile Zelaya and lawfully installed an interim president until elections can be properly held in a few months.
One might think that the leader of the free world would stand in solidarity with those in Honduras who followed their Constitution and the rule of law. One would be wrong. Barack Obama and his wretched Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decried the lawful actions of the Honduran legislature and Supreme Court, claimed they had affected a coup d'etat against Zelaya and should reinstate him immediately, claiming that the rule of law must be respected.
How can anyone possibly take these people seriously? Do they not realize that the rule of law was followed precisely in Honduras? Or, is it something more sinister? Barack Obama has openly courted and been courted by America-haters for his entire life. Steeped in the teachings of Saul Alinsky in his early days, Obama spent 20 years sitting in the pews of a church led by a man who preached vile anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism and then with a wink and a nod told the American people that he had never heard any of these sermons. He spent his early adult life palling around with notorious anti-American, Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Now, we have a president who apologizes at every opportunity for the greatest country in the history of man, pushes overtly anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli policies, enacts domestic policies that are crippling the American economy, props up Honduran and Iranian dictators, and opens up to the world in Cairo about his long and proud history with Islam throughout his life, introducing himself as Barack Hussein Obama. This after he told everyone during the campaign that mentioning his middle name was racist and designed to scare everyone.
As the president openly coos and rubs noses with America-haters who murder and oppress their citizens around the world we find ourselves on the cusp of our finest holiday, our Independence Day. We are reminded each July 4th of the struggles of our great Founding Fathers, who pledged and often gave their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the fight for and defense of liberty. On that day when the wondrous Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the people gathered on the steps of Independence Hall in the great city of Philadelphia, we made a pact not only with ourselves but with those around the world who would stand in defense of liberty. The Declaration states:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Thomas Jefferson didn't write that all Americans were created equal. He wrote that all men were created equal and he articulated the proper role of man's relationship to man. In doing so he made the Declaration of Independence a compact not just with the American people but with the entire world, committing the American people to fanning the flames of dissent into a wildfire of liberty wherever those flames can be found. Today, that fire burns in the hearts of men and women in Iran, Honduras and all over the world, and they are aching to know that freedom-loving people all over the world join them in solidarity.
So one can only ask: Where is Barack Hussein Obama?
