A Nation of Cowards??

Recently our U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, accused us of being a "..Nation of cowards" when it comes to addressing matters of race. Just how brave is AG Holder when it comes to addressing the racist aspects of affirmative action?


Holder aside, cowardice is beginning to take a front seat in the Obama administration. Let's examine some recent events. During Obama's recent trip overseas he decided that the once proud nation of the USA should now bow before a monarch whose society trashes women and other religions and was the ethnic origin of all 19 9/11 terrorists! Such deference! Meanwhile the "O" team thought it best NOT to visit Normandy on this trip.

Cowards?



The president had a great time on this trip using every opportunity to apologize for the USA, bash George Bush, and praise Islam. The left wing press applauds His great statesmanship. From a recent Op Ed piece in the NY Times comes the following gush:

"The salutary fact is that when you look at the grinning group photograph, there is only one face you want to see. This conference was about saving the world, but more important for the participants, it was about saving their political lives. Mr. Obama is the only popular politician left in the world. He would win an election in any one of the G-20 countries, and his fellow world leaders will do anything to take home a touch of that reflected popularity.
We may be in the rare position of having an American president who has a deeper mandate among people who could never vote for him than with those who did. For the time being, he has only to offer his hand, and ask politely.

And so, our great , admired Leader marched on throwing rose petals at the Europeans and throwing the USA under the bus .....

From Obama ...."It's always harder to forge true partnerships and sturdy alliances than to act alone. ... In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of ... seeking to partner with you ... there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."

The bravery of this man to stand before Europeans, who for the most part look down their noses at us and despise our aggressive capitalist heritage in favor of their own brand of mind numbing socialism, is breathtaking! Cowards?

Meanwhile Laura Ingraham holds her own with Matt Lauer as she addresses our Leader's bended knee approach in Europe....

And so , Obama Braveheart goes on to Turkey where he proclaims that the USA is not a Nation of Christians .....(can't leave this guy alone without a teleprompter) ......

It might be useful for President Obama and many of our citizens to view the following video before proclaiming we are a nation comprised simply of secular citizens, denouncing our heritage as a nation founded in Christian ideals....

Is it courageous, given the current admiration for secular progressive thinking, to de-emphasize our Judeo-Christian heritage? Seems to me that cowards would prefer the path of least derision and sadly that path these days is increasingly anti Christian. so who are the Cowards?

Do brave men and women boldly seek opportunity to excel based on their skills and efforts or do they cowardly seek refuge at the bosom of a nanny government?

Who are the cowards AG Holder?

Where are we headed?

It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity.

Benito Mussolini

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Barack Obama

I am in agreement with Glenn Beck and others who are now positing that the the Obama administration is taking us on a path that is more akin to fascism than socialism. Frankly, the academic debate that may engender is interesting but in reality either path puts us all in a place we should avoid with all our might. The "F" word, however is more insidious than the "S" word in that government extends its pernicious grasp in a most deceitful manner. We are witnessing these moves virtually daily. The TARP is a classic example of government establishing a "foothold" in a business enterprise followed retroactively by regulatory entrapment. All this is done by the exercise of power through the Executive Branch primarily with the assistance of a malleable legislature. The next prey to fall is the automobile industry. Can anyone have imagined that a U.S. President could step in and remove a CEO of a major corporation, redesign its Board and issue a national government warranty for the corporation's products? The domino train will proceed to complete the circle to encapsulate automobiles and energy into one government controlled cacoon. It's so transparent yet frightening to watch this tsunami of destruction of liberty take place before our eyes. As recently reported in Investor Business Daily:

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has canceled leases for energy exploration on 77 parcels of federal land in Utah, confirming that this White House is indeed a Small Oil administration.The previous administration, which was not beholden to environmental special interests and seemed to understand the importance of energy, had released 130,000 acres of largely uninhabited — and uninhabitable — land for oil and gas exploration.Some of the parcels are in or near the Green River Formation, an oil-rich region in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming that has the largest known oil shale deposits in the world, holding from 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels of crude.

Although the Senate recently stalled the Cap and Trade movement it still lurks out there. The direction that Obama is attempting to take us under the guise of saving the planet is to have an energy/transportation complex under total command and control by the government. Skirmishes such as demonizing private sector management and turning loose ACORN nuts to harass businessmen and pursue a pro union agenda are all elements of the strategy. Sure, the stock market will "be allowed" to function and the appearances of a market based economy will be sustained to provide sustenance to the ever expanding needs of a gorged government. Education. meanwhile, has all but fallen to government control. The enormous influence of teachers unions and leftist professorial and administrator roles has locked up that sector. Their reward is more of our hard earned money is being siphoned off to that sector through the so called stimulus act. Pressures are mounting on private and home schooling activities. Freedom is being stripped from parents ruthlessly as we just witnessed by the elimination of vouchers in the DC school system. Parents are losing control across the country in areas of cultural development as well. The nanny state knows what's best for its children. The biggest shoe to drop will be health care. When that falls , the triangle is complete. Government control of energy and transportation; government control of education; government control of health care. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Then, the larger objective of a new world order can be pursued with a controlled and subdued socio-economic base in a once proud Republic.

Like it? I don't. We can still stop this madness but it will take major effort and above all leadership. There are signs throughout the country that the effort is indeed mounting ...leadership...that's another story. But as sure as Reagan followed Carter I'm confident that the post Obama era is worth waiting for.
