The Problem According to Proverbs 21

This is written in the spirit of truth – not intended to be an attack, but instead an honest assessment of our current President. This has been attempted in many books and movies, and multiple theories abound about Barrack Obama. This came to me as I was reading Chapter 21 of Proverbs. These thoughts are further tempered by thirty-five years as a soldier, a social scientist by degrees, and a Christian by the power of the Holy Spirit. That said, I really hope I’m wrong.

First and foremost, it seems he is a False Witness. Christianity, which he professes to be an adherent of, has a founder who was unapologetic. Jesus said of Himself, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me.” Thus a faithful witness would say, “Apart from Jesus Christ there is no hope.” He would lovingly explain Islam is a false religion and, “Allah is not the God of Abraham, Isaac AND Jacob.” He doesn’t. A False Witness would promote covetousness, division, homosexual marriage, and abortion. Obama does.

Obama does not appear to respect the “common man.” The plans of the diligent lead to profit – but Obama mocks this principle of Proverbs. Both by saying, “You didn’t build that” and if Obama realizes you did, then “it’s not fair” that you have it. The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright. He habitually sets up straw men by mischaracterizing the upright’s positions, and then attacks their character by assaulting the very same straw man he fallaciously devised.

A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor. His credentials of “community organizer” were established by commencing class-warfare on unsuspecting citizens. He has gained his power primarily by persuading the uninformed and the ungodly to vote for him. His principal tactic is to demonize his opposition and to promise he is different. And different he is – he is worse.

When justice is done it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. Obama has completely perverted this principle. In Obama’s America, the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor found themselves facing a hostile US Government – demanding they provide drugs that induce abortions to their employees, in the name of health care no less. With Obama in power, law-abiding Americans legitimately fear he’ll try and take their guns away; all the while arming the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama makes deals with communist dictators and is feckless against rogue nations. His red lines for our enemies are drawn with invisible ink; our government, now $18,000,000,000,000.00 in debt, is underwater in red ink.

Obama is a tyrant of the worst kind; he hounds the people who he knows will play by the rules, and then gets in bed with the coyotes. He mocks those who cling to the one true God, their God-given rights and their guns. He hides behind the Secret Service, the police, and the military, never having dreamt of one day growing up and joining their honorable ranks but instead alternately denigrating them or rendering their sacrifices irrelevant. His “executive actions” undermine the rule of law and his incessant indictment of the enforcers’ intentions undermines their efforts to bring order out of anarchy.


Finally, he is incapable and afraid of unleashing the dogs of war, even as he dribbles in drones on select locales. He won’t let the dogs out to deal with the real evildoers the way that they, and the world, would understand and respect. Obama entreats evildoers to obey leash laws, while at the same time he domesticates and devastates our nation’s watch dogs with social engineering and decreasing the pack to pre-WW II levels. Of course when the evildoers are off the chain, ignoring Obama’s invisible red lines (their evildoers after all), he stands ready to send in his emasculated military to combat Ebola.

So what do I consider to be the heart of the problem? Primarily, that Obama lacked a father to help him become a man – a father that loved him enough to whack him when he needed it, to model a manly demeanor, a man to teach him how the real world works. I’ve known more than a few Drill Sergeants that could have helped him overcome this Dad deficiency. Those like Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, and Al Sharpton can’t cut it. The problem now – people like Putin and those in Pyongyang have concluded our President is a punk.

In the meantime, we can only pray our President will meet the Father to the fatherless, the One whom the Son said He is one with and the only way to. There’s hope. In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water.
