Once again, our feckless leader demonstrates that there are no limits to his incompetence. On his recent trip to Japan, Obama said, "As America's first Pacific president, I promise you that this Pacific nation will strengthen and sustain our leadership in this vitally important part of the world.” He then proceeded to demonstrate his strength and leadership by groveling before the Japanese emperor. As an aside, I am somehow unable to remember Obama being elected President of the Pacific. I do, however, think it is a good use of Obama’s skills, since plankton need leadership, too.
This unctuous behavior by a President of the United States before the figurehead of the nation we soundly trounced in the largest war in human history is both inappropriate and unnerving. Apparently, the Japanese found it embarrassing and unnerving as well. It is, however, a pattern of behavior begun when he first declared his vassalage to a foreign monarch by showing obeisance to the King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
Indeed, Obama does stand an excellent chance of inheriting Jimmy Carter’s mantle of presidential weakness and incompetence in the international arena. On the home front, he is currently engaged in a truckload sale on American sovereignty. Between selling our natural and constitutional rights to property and self-defense, Obama continues to push one international treaty or UN accord after another. He simply can not give away US sovereignty and authority fast enough to suit him. And when faced with a decision he actually has the authority to make, he either delegates it to another Czar, or he wallows in indecisiveness.
I do, however, find Obama’s behavior quite perplexing. If Obama does not want the job of being President of the United States, why did he apply for the position? It’s almost like he wanted the really cool office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, without the responsibility that goes along with it. Obama the obsequious internationalist is quite obviously ashamed of America. When speaking to his fellow Muslims, he has done everything short of apologizing for placing the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the paths of the airliners that crashed into them.
Apparently he is embarrassed because we are better than everyone else. Obama is deeply disturbed by the fact that America is always the one nation who steps up to bail out others. Shame on us for rebuilding significant portions of both Asia and Europe, including the countries of our former enemies, following the Second World War. We should be mortified by our conduct during the Berlin Airlift. What arrogance we displayed by not letting the Communists starve West Berlin into submission. Who are we to send more aid to Africa (both publicly and privately) than anyone else in the world? For a list of more reasons to be ashamed of America, refer to “The Americans (A Canadian's Opinion)” by Gordon Sinclair
Obama sees our wealth as greed. He sees our liberty as selfishness. He sees our sacrifice, our courage, and our innovation as arrogance. How dare you work harder than your neighbor? What arrogance to strive for excellence! Become enlightened and follow your Messiah down to mediocrity. In the end, however, I guess America will have to learn to live with the fact that Obama is ashamed of America. After all, the feeling is mutual.

Never Ask a Muslim to Kill his Fellow Muslims
The way that Maj. Nidal Hassan claimed that angst over the possibility of having to kill his “fellow Muslims” forced him to kill his "fellow" soldiers is absolutely heart-rending. I can only imagine the pain he must have felt at the horrifying idea of being forced to inflict violence upon “fellow” devotees of “The Prophet”. The agony he must have felt in going through with the obviously difficult decision to gun down his defenseless "fellow" soldiers in cold blood is inconceivable. That same traumatic dilemma plagued Sgt. Hasan Akbar, a Muslim convert who in 2003 fragged commanding officers at a military camp in Kuwait, killing two and wounding 15 others. Akbar said at the time he did it out of loyalty to the ummah, the international community of Muslims.
Unfortunately for Hassan's and Akbar's “fellow Muslims” currently living in Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other ‘Muslim’ countries, their “fellow Muslims” living in the same country do not suffer from the same moral compunction. Hardly a week goes by that the AP does not break at least one story of another Muslim suicide bomber in Iraq or Afghanistan who blew himself up in the local market square. And oddly enough, all, or nearly all of the victims are “fellow Muslims”, rather than we beastly American infidels.
Additionally, it has come to my attention that Muslims also somehow manage put aside their loathing to harm other Muslims when those other Muslims happen to be female. Clearly, putting the word “honor” in front of “murder” makes driving a car over “fellow Muslims”, pummeling them to death with rocks, or hacking their heads off with a scimitar in the public square far more palatable to Muslims. And if they just want to teach their women a lesson, rather than killing them, there are other methods (Warning, Graphic Images). Although there are no statistics to back me up, I would not be surprised to find that more Muslim women had been killed by their “fellow Muslim” fellows, than by US military operations.
In fact, over the last several months, more Muslims in Iraq have been killed by Iraqi Muslims than by Americans. Hey, we may be on to something here. Maybe we should listen to Obama and just "get out of the way". We would probably win the war far more quickly and cheaply if we simply let the Muslims kill each other. Maybe we could even convince them to fly an airplane or two into their own buildings for a change.
So why are Muslims so selective in their squeamishness? It appears that Muslims are only hesitant to kill “fellow Muslims” when the Muslims doing the killing are not getting their marching orders from a lunatic in a turban. Or perhaps it is a proximity issue. It is acceptable for a Muslim to kill a Muslim if they are neighbors, but it is not kosher for a Muslim to kill a Muslim in another country who killed the first Muslim’s neighbors, who may or may not have been Muslim as well. So never ask a Muslim to kill his fellow Muslims. They are perfectly willing to do it without your prompting.
