America’s Christian Roots Elude Obama

America's Gotta Know, Barack Obama, Religion and Culture

President Obama has demonstrated this week during his “Beat Up America Tour” across Western Europe and the Middle East, his deficient knowledge of the basis of democracy as conveyed by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and, ultimately, the Constitution. Through his statements propping up Islam and subjugating Judeo-Christianity, the President, obviously, believes that Islam has done more to shape America than Christianity.

One has to first ask “What is Obama doing over there now?”. The so-called G20 Economic Summit is long over (in which absolutely nothing was accomplished which will benefit the U.S.), yet, still he remains. Then you have to ask “How does apologizing for America’s rugged individualism and stewardship to the world benefit Americans?”. Isn’t the President supposed to always be speaking in the best interest of his country and not tearing it down and speaking of its citizens as “arrogant”? Well, I can tell you there’s at least one arrogant American… no, not just arrogant… narcissistic. Could it be that this entire charade is just about him… positioning himself as the friend of the world, currying favor with those who would destroy us, and the one who will bring America and Americans down to size because he has a stereotypic, radical view of America through the eyes of the likes of Reverend Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers… individuals who shaped the America hating belief system of a troubled youth seeking an ideology to embrace, like water to a sponge.

Let’s take a look at a few of his comments this week that demonstrate his inept grasp of Americans and American history, his lack of understanding of what it means to be an American and his narcissistic tendencies…

Ankara, Turkey
“The U.S. is not and will never be at war with Islam.”
He has adopted as his own brainchild that which was common knowledge during the Post 9/11 Bush Administration. This was the undertone of the entire War on Terror during the Bush Administration where it was repeated continuously that Islam was not the enemy. The War was, and continues to be, against the Islamofascist cancerous manipulation of the Islamic religion for terrorist and tyranical self-interest.

“The Islamic faith has done so much to, over the centuries, shape the world including my own country.”
Where in this country’s heritage can you point to where Islam has shaped our country? The founding fathers embedded in our founding documents and their speeches and statements, the Christian values that bestow upon us the unalienable rights of freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

Istanbul, Turkey
“One of the greatest strengths of the United States is… although, we have a large Christian population, we do not conisder ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Moslem nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.”
We are a Christian nation, which was founded upon Christian principles, indisputable if you are a student of our founding. He is partially correct… we are bound by ideals and values, however, we are a nation of individuals that derive our values from those set forth in our founding documents and the brilliance of our founding fathers who recognized the importance of recognizing God as omnipotent and the only one that can bestow the right of freedom upon any man. We are truly a Christian nation and there’s nothing that Obama or any one in his adminstration can do to change that despite how well it fits their agenda.
