On Obama's opinion of America

Noisy Room

A Question of Personality

Because charismatic leadership has some drawbacks.  The most obvious being that since power flows from the person himself then when Rudy Giuliani publicly questioned Obama’s patriotism he was attacking the wellsprings of the administration.

" . . . Giuliani’s question about “loving America” is another way of asking if you know who you are working for.  Past presidents did not delude themselves into thinking they graced America.  They understood they were but weak human vessels who bore the burning, almost incandescent glory of a great nation, were given their moment in history to shine — and like the organizer Obama didn’t want to be — the time to fade away. "

Serious vs. clueless: dissecting the Giuliani flap  " 'Look," the former mayor told the Daily News, "this man was brought up basically in a white family, so whatever he learned or didn't learn, I attribute this more to the influence of communism and socialism" than to his race.

" '[Furthermore] I don't [see] this President as being particularly a product of African-American society or something like that. He isn't" the form.

"More precisely, Giuliani says of Obama, "Think of his background.... The ideas that are troubling to me are those [coming from] communists with whom he was associated with through family connections." . . .

Darrell Issa Defends Giuliani: Obama ‘Views America Differently’  “ 'I don’t think Rudy is ever going to get the dust from Ground Zero out of his lungs,” Issa said. “He was there during the fall of those towers. So for him to take personally a president whose policies have left Israel hanging, have left our Arab allies not trusting us, have let ISIL… go from being a JV team as they took on more territory expansively.' ”

Who is allowed to insult the candidate's patriotism and love of country?

. . . "On July 3, 2008 -- the day before Independence Day -- Barack Obama said that adding $4 trillion in debt was irresponsible and "unpatriotic."

Obama: "The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents - #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

It Doesn’t Matter One Bit What Obama Thinks ‘True Islam’ Is

Andrew C. McCarthy

There may well be a civil war going on within Islam, but it will be Muslims, not American politicians, who settle it.

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi

"In Egypt, the president is Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a pious Muslim. Having grown up in the world’s center of sharia scholarship and closely studied the subject, he has courageously proclaimed that Islam desperately needs a “religious revolution.” 

"In the United States, the president is Barack Obama, a non-Muslim. His childhood experience of Islam, which ended when he was just ten, occurred in Indonesia — the world’s most populous Muslim country, but a non-Arabic one where the teaching and practice of Islam is very different from what it is in the Middle East. 

"While Sisi sees a dangerous flaw in Islam, Obama believes America needs to be “fundamentally transformed” but Islam is fine as is. You see the problem, no?" . . .Read more . . .

Despite Summit, World Still Plagued by ‘‘Random Angry Unknown Folks’’

NRO

Duh Progressive

"After a highly publicized White House summit on “radical extremism” Wednesday, President Obama concluded that the rash of seemingly endless murderous attacks by “random angry unknown folks” throughout the West and in the Middle East is an immediate threat that must be stopped at all costs.

     "The world has been rocked almost daily throughout the past few years by shootings, stabbings, bombings, and other atrocities throughout Western societies and the Middle East by what the White House has come to be officially call “Random Angry Unknown Folks” (RAUFs), and the Obama administration will “quadruple” on its efforts to stop these seemingly motiveless random angry people who have been plaguing the world with their seemingly “senseless, pointless, motivation-lacking non-descript acts aimed at apparently no one in particular”, according to State Department Spokesperson Jennifer Psaki." . . .

You Will Be Made To Care Chronicles: Religious speech in the crosshairs

RedState.com

"Erick has written extensively on the subject of “you will be made to care.” The idea is simple. You no longer have the ability to ignore sexual perversion and cultural rot. That is not good enough. For social pathologies, like “transgender rights” and “homosexual marriage” (bestiality, incest, and pedophilia along with abortion and euthanasia are being supported by the same people who have succeeded in mainstreaming homosexuality) to succeed it isn’t sufficient that you avert your eyes, no, you must cheer them on. You must bake their cakes, make their floral arrangements, and document their immorality for eternity on pain of your financial destruction." . . .  Keep reading
