The man who is ruining America

 

 

 

"There are times I really wonder if our President is living out his 'Dr. Stangelove' moment..."

Harsh. I know. Very, very harsh. For years now, Rush Limbaugh has been talking about our President trying to ruin America. Now I like Rush. I learn things from him and other times find him to be very entertaining. Once in a while, I do believe he goes off into histrionics. When he would talk about the President ruining the country, that was one of them. Now I am starting to think Rush was right.

As much as I thought I was immune to anymore surprises coming from our POTUS, what happened this week really put me back on my heals. Here is just a small recap:

• CNN reported that ISIL and all Al Qaeda factions have now joined forces into a much larger and more truculent organization. At the same time, it was reported that we continue to cut and shred the ranks of our middle grade Army Officers. Retired Four Star General Jack Keane said our forces now so diminished, it would be impossible to fight two front war. And BTW - the Russian Bear continues to growl. There has been further tinkering in the Ukraine as well as more intrusive bomber flights over the Gulf of Mexico.
• In an attempt to save Mary Landrieu's seat in Louisiana, the long put off Keystone Pipeline is going to come up for a vote in the House and Senate. Most pundits believe  this time, even though Dingy Harry is still the Senate Leader, the bill will pass. It will be good for our country, and good for the creation of well paying jobs. Our tree hugging President however, has threatened to veto it. Why? You know - global warming issues. Only this time it might pass with a veto proof majority.
• While overseas, POTUS thought it would be a great idea to introduce Net Neutrality. It sound good, it sounds mysterious. Some internet experts say Net Neutrality will do for the internet what ObamaCare has done for medicine. Get the picture? The internet has always been an amorphous, unregulated fountain of information. Like anything else, it can be used for evil as much as it can be used for good. To let the Father of Regulation come in and tinker with the net is a bad, bad idea.
• I saved the best for last. Amnesty. In a move which even has some moderate Democrats scratching their heads, our tone deaf President could not even wait until Thanksgiving to announce he will grant amnesty to over 5 MILLION ILLEAGALS! This is dumb and dumber rolled into one move. Well this time the Republicans are not going to take the bait. Their eyes are on the prize in 2016. They are not going to shut down the government, nor are they going to impeach. They will however, hit the President where it hurts the most - in his pocketbook. If he does indeed pull the trigger, look for many of the President's "Pet Rocks" to become unfunded or underfunded starting in January. 

The damage this man has done in the past years has been immense. The damage he could continue to do in the next two years could be incalculable. Why is he doing this? Is he a megalomaniac? Is he evil? Or is he just misguided? History will judge. I hope for the sake of our country he is just misguided. But then again, I have been wrong about him before.
