The Patriot Post® · Bibi for President
I wonder how many million Americans were fantasizing Netanyahu in the Oval Office as he spoke sense from the same podium used by Obama to spew left-wing baby talk just six weeks earlier.
Besides the content of their remarks, the major difference is that Obama spoke to a full house, whereas Netanyahu addressed a chamber from which a great many Democrats and one Republican pinhead, Walter Jones of North Carolina, had excused themselves. The absentees included Joe Biden, Sens. Al Franken (MN), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Tim Caine (VA), Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders (VT), Martin Heinrich (NMex), Steve Cohen (TN), Brian Schatz (HI), Sheldon Whitehouse (RI); nearly the entire Congressional Black Caucus (although Charley Rangel at the last minute decided to attend); and the two Muslim members of the House, Andre Carson (Ind) and Keith Ellison (MN).
The reason these meatheads gave for not attending mainly centered on a so-called violation of so-called protocol (Netanyahu and Boehner didn’t clear the speech with Obama), although Congress is an equal and separate arm of the federal government.
When I heard that protocol was being used as an excuse, I was reminded that in 2014, when Obama was showing French President Francois Hollande around Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home in Virginia, Obama suddenly decided to take a stroll around the grounds. When told that was not protocol, he replied, “That’s the good thing about being President. I can do whatever I want.”
The rumble heard in response certainly didn’t come from the members of the butt-kissing press corps, but from the ghost of Jefferson, who said, “The hell you can!”
But, as they’ve shown in the past, Obama’s flying monkeys in Congress apparently put more stock in what Obama says than in what Jefferson and his fellow patriots intended when they created this great nation. On balance, whatever spin the politicians use to explain their absence, their actions showed that they were far more concerned with Obama’s bruised feelings than with Israel’s survival.
As for Obama, his behavior towards Israel’s Prime Minister bears out Eric Hoffer’s contention that “Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.”
In the aftermath of what is possibly the most important speech of our lifetime, Nancy Pelosi claimed Netanyahu “had insulted the intelligence of Americans.” It struck me that Pelosi commenting on intelligence is rather like a blind person being engaged as an art critic.
In a related matter, something that’s been preying on my mind is why John Kerry seems so hell-bent on being known as the 21st century’s answer to Neville Chamberlin. You would think that even someone as obviously stupid as the Secretary of State would understand that giving Iran the benefit of the doubt is like giving Hitler or a rabid dog the benefit of the doubt.
After I wrote a piece questioning Obama’s claims to being a Christian and a patriot, a friend sent me an email that pointed out that the vile “50 Shades of Gray” portrays a love affair in which the dominant man expresses his love for the submissive woman through beatings, humiliations, degradation and abuse. I suppose one could claim that is how Obama expresses his love for America.
Politicians are sold to us the same way that we’re sold beer, pretzels and toothpaste. The trouble, though, is that if Obama were a car, we could prove that he’s a lemon and get the dealer to make an exchange If Obama were a household product, we might even be able to get double our money back. But when the buyers are as ill-informed and misinformed as the majority of the electorate twice proved themselves to be, we get stuck with the schmuck for eight interminable years.
Whether or not Obama is a Muslim, he reminds me of the savages in the Middle East who take sledge hammers to ancient art and holy relics. The difference is that Obama is the greater vandal because he relishes in destroying the Constitution and all the values and traditions it represents.
As for Obama’s claims to being a Christian, the proof seems to rest on his having attended Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years. But, despite its name, it wasn’t a church dedicated to spreading the words of Christ, but of Black Liberation Theology. The irony of its name is that its followers are not even close to being liberated. Instead, they subscribe to victimhood and are shackled to the Democrats, the party of the plantation owners, the party that gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, Orville Faubus, George Wallace, Robert Byrd, Bull Connor and the modern minstrel show known as the Congressional Black Caucus.
Philosopher Emile Chartier once observed that “Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it’s the only one you have.”
Proof of that subtle thought can be found in Obama, who based his entire presidency on the notion that it was his calling to radically transform America. But it can also be seen at election time when millions of homosexuals base their collective vote on something as essentially inconsequential as same-sex marriage or when young women vote based on nothing other than the issue of abortions on demand.
When you consider that they are thereby ignoring such grave matters as employment, the economy, national security, radical Islam, the tax rate, education, energy independence, privacy, the Second Amendment, border control and the survival of Israel, you should understand that your own votes are being canceled out by the votes of childish ignoramuses – many of whom you not only raised but are still supporting!
