I could write about the same topic till I’m blue in the face, but Bill O’Reilly’s “talking points” tonight about America’s bad spring were right on target. Between our lack of credible response to Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, the still-growing VA scandal where people will end up going to jail for criminal wrongdoing, the Bowe Bergdahl swap allowing five Taliban high commanders to go free, all the blood and human treasure lost in Iraq going for naught as it is taken over by Islamic terrorists, and the absolute disintegration of our southern border with the onslaught of thousands of illegals, one has to wonder how America seems to be falling apart so quickly.
No standing up for the cause of freedom in the face of aggression. No accountability or sign of the slightest bit of competence or common sense in the way our President and his administration respect our nation’s laws and borders. No concern for the cause of freedom in the Middle East and the sacrifices of thousands of Americans, rightly or wrongly.
And it all comes down to one person: Barack Obama. At this point, whether he’s just willingly ignorant, criminally incompetent or simply, as he promised to do when he was elected, transforming America into something completely different from the country I have known and grown up in only he can say. I’m guessing it’s a combination of all three. But here’s my question: if this is how our President is handling crises both foreign and domestic, what else is coming down the line that he’s ignorant of or willfully allowing to happen.
Lord knows I was no Bill Clinton or even a Jimmy Carter fan. Bill Clinton had his obvious weaknesses, but compared to Barack Obama he was the equivalent of Abraham Lincoln. Jimmy Carter might have been a lousy President, but both he and Clinton nevertheless understood and sought to uphold America’s place in the world. As a President, Barack Obama’s ignorance and incompetence in the rollout of Obamacare and the VA treatment of our veterans, his targeting of political enemies by the IRS, and the willful weakness he has shown in the face of America’s enemies in the world has come to define the very kind of “high crimes” the Founding Fathers had in mind when they put in place the process for impeachment.
Maybe America has got the kind of leadership it wants and deserves. But I just have the feeling things are about to get a whole lot worse before – if ever – they get better.
