Obama speaks at the National Prayer Breakfast

Earlier this week, Obama went to and addressed the National CHRISTIAN prayer breakfast. One item on the agenda was to pray for the over 1 Million Armenian Christians murdered by Muslim Turks in the early 20th Century...yes in 1915, the 20th century. Yet Obama acknowledges this atrocity by choosing an historical factoid from 1000 years ago to hector and besmirch the christians to whom he was speaking. He didn't use a reference by christians during the 20th century, he went back 1000 years to find fault. And he ignored the reason the prayers for those murdered in the 20th century were being offered.

Rather than supporting Christians at a christian faith event, rather than discussing the good works of the christian denominations to which he spoke, rather than make an attempt to unite, he chose to use the platform to pick a point in christian history 1000 years past as a comparison to justify the atrocities being perpetrated by Islamists today.  Obama didn't choose to be uplifting, he chose to castigate the religion of the people to whom he was speaking, 

If this were a one time faux pax, perhaps there would not be much justification for making this an issue, but from the time that Obama began running for the presidency, he has been pursuing this false flag notion of positive Islamic contribution. This is the recurring theme of the Obama narrative. Remember, when he was running for the presidency in 2008, Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a positive part of America 's history." Later, after his election, speaking at a dinner celebrating Ramadan, Obama stated, "Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation -- and we've seen the results. We've seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants -- farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of our universe."  In 2014, Obama made a speech to a muslim group thanking Muslim Americans for their many “achievements and contributions… to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.” When in 2009, when discussing the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a radical Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist supposedly counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama claimed this was not an act of terrorism, but a case of workplace violence.  Even today, when asked to directly address the atrocities being committed by ISIS and al Qaida, our president cannot being himself to refer to them as terrorists, yet he has no issue with referring to Americans who oppose his views as "Domestic Terrorists"

I could go on, with many more examples and I could offer many examples of muslim atrocities committed against Americas citizens but Obama's attempts to uplift the muslim adherents is such a juxtaposition to his denigrating of Christians at a christian event that he is blatantly transparent.

The point is, rather than unite, rather than lead, rather than to unify, Obama willfully chooses to use his bully pulpit to divide the citizens he represents. His speech, while perhaps factually correct was improper for the venue, completely unwarranted, out of place and wholly inappropriate. At best his lecturing of christians is a stretch, and shows just how ridiculously out of touch he really is. At worst it shows diabolical intent. This is not American leadership and it is why there is so much blowback against his speech.

The Ferguson non finding for Indictment

Let me begin by stating that I believe that Darren Wilson, the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) in Ferguson, Mo. should have been indicted for manslaughter in the Michael Brown incident.. I don't know if the officers actions were overly aggressive, but I know that the bar for finding probable cause  by a grand jury is much lower than an actual trail with rules of evidence and subject to testimony and cross examination. I think that in this case the bar may have been set too high and justice not served.  Were he indicted, would officer Wilson be convicted? We don't know and probably never will, but it does seem as though there was ample evidence to bind him over for trial where an examination of the evidence and cross examination of the witnesses would occur before a verdict would be reached by a jury.

This morning, in the wake of burnings throughout Ferguson, the great and compassionate Reverend Jessie Jackson was interviewed on CNN.  He made the statement that the pain felt by the oppressed population there culminated in the violence and is understandable.  He concluded with the statement, "No justice, no peace". When reminded that he marched with reverend King peacefully during the more turbulent 60's, the Reverend Jackson stated that there were riots, burnings and looting in many cities across America at this time as well, so the riots in Ferguson were to be expected. Obviously the good Reverend has selective memory as the riots didn't occur until after Dr. King was assassinated, not during the time when he was marching.  I honestly don't know how to respond to this mentality except to ask, what did the riots of the 60's and today in Ferguson accomplish? reverend Jackson, didn't you march with Dr. King to STOP the violence, not encourage it? Haven't you learned anything in the past 50 years or so?

In the same week that Michael Brown was killed, a black LEO responded to a call of suspicious kids in Utah, The officer pulled up to the scene, a 7/11 and encountered a 19 YO white kid matching the description coming out of the store. He ordered the youth to stop and kneel on the ground.  When the kid did not immediately respond, he was shot to death by the LEO. Did you hear anything about this shooting? Did you see a bunch of Utah residents rioting and looting the stores in and around the community where this kid was shot? Did you see President Obama send AG Holder to Utah to start an investigation of this shooting? Did anyone see the President go on national television and make a point of how the Utah youth was just an innocent unarmed kid? That if he had a son, this kid could have been that son? This is certainly and unequivocally wrong, But is it correct to make the claim that these are racial issues? I think not. To me, they are more indicative of overly aggressive police reacting to an aggressive society which seems to be suffering from  "diluted ethics", IMO.

During the same weekend that Michael Brown was killed, about a dozen black urban youth were killed in Chicago by other black urban youth. Did anyone see this on the national news? Did the President go on national television to condemn the actions of these "kids who could have been my son"? Did he send AG Holder to Chicago, his home town where his previous Chief of Staff is the Mayor, to start an investigation about violence and murders by blacks against blacks? The simple answer is no. The more complex answer is that the administration doesn't want to bring attention to the lawlessness which breeds outcomes like the Michael Brown incident and highlights the aggressive and lawless behaviour of black urban youth in America today?

More importantly, since 2009, when President came into office, approximately 795 Law Enforcement Officers have died in the line of duty.  This is a terrible statistic and we should certainly grieve the loss of our police officers lives and provide support to their families, Yet what very few realize is that for every LEO killed in the line of duty, according to the FBI crime statistics, more than 15 times that number of US citizens have been victims of police committed killings.  One can conclude from these statistics that LEO have become much more aggressive and are killing more of our citizens.  

The question I've been asking is: Why are the President and all the other "civil rights leaders" seemingly unconcerned about the core issue of the huge number of urban black youth killed every day in Chicago, Philly, south Central and other cities across America by other urban black youth? If there was actually some focus by the leaders on the root problem, perhaps young men like Michael Brown would learn respect for the rule of law our President is so quick to mention.  Unfortunately what they see coming out of the highest office in this country is a willingness to cast aside when it serves his purpose.  What they hear is a repeated claim that they are the aggrieved members of society and they are entitled to feel wronged.  Unfortunately this is an indication that they don't have to abide by the rule of law.  Itg this a cause of our LEO becoming more aggressive?  Possibly, but again, I think the root cause is more closely aligned with the dilution of ethics, by both the citizenry and the LEO across our country.  Perhaps it is due to outside influences such as our never ending war in the middle east, perhaps it is due to the hardships faced by the growth of our uneducated and entitled underclass who see no chance for improvement in their lives, perhaps it is due to a lack of strong leadership on the part of our elected officials. Regardless, we are facing a growing unrest across America and it is manifesting itself an increasingly violent society.

VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO

Last weekend there was a protest on the southside of Chicago.  Interestingly, the residents were protesting the violence in their community and much of the anger was directed at President Obama and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.  Seems as though the bloom may finally be falling off the rose and the the thorny nature of our President is being exposed.

Some will claim it is due to the lax gun control, but we all know that Chicago has some of the most stringent gon control laws in the country.  Others will claim the source of the report is a conservative and therefore suspect, yet we know that this is nothing morte than a false flag effort to shoot the messenger for carrying the message.  Fact is, all of this can be traced directly back to President Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" welfare program which has encouraged generations of single parent/female head of household/absent fathers in the urban black communities.  You may not want to accept this, but it remains the truth nonetheless.
