A French man lectures Americans

You know America has to be the most wonderful place on the planet when you have other nations praising the American people for electing a half African, born and partially raised Muslim to the office of President.

Oh now don't get in a tizzy. Look at the facts not your feelings. Barack was born to a white American woman and an African Kenyan who was a Muslim. Now in the world of the Muslim, that makes the child a Muslim. And indeed Barack attended Muslim schools up until his return to the USA at the age of about 10. So don't get on me about saying Barack is half Muslim because the facts are the facts.

Do I believe he is a Christian now? Well, I have to take him at his word and the fact that he sat in a racist Christian church for about 20 years. But that does not mean he has broken his ties with his Muslim heritage. In fact many of his relatives on his fathers side still reside in Kenya and still are Muslims. It is very hard to totally disregard you childhood and your early training.

But that is not the real topic of this article. The real topic is how the whole world now views the USA in a different light because we elected Obama. How about this story by Ethan Bronner out of Gaza City, Gaza Strip. For those of you that don't know where that is, look on your world map and locate Israel. Now look to the west and you will find Gaza Strip. Yes it looks like a strip. Thus the name.

But again I digress. Ethan writes in an article titled “Around the World, Many See an Ideal Renewed.” An ideal RENEWED? Ethan starts his article thus:

“From far away, this is how it looks: There is a country out there where tens of millions of white Christians, voting freely, select as their leader a black man of modest origin, the son of a Muslim. There is a place on Earth – call it America – where such a thing happens.”

OK, now this is just so wrong on so many levels. I don't even know where to begin. How about the fact that Barack got about 60 million votes and of that tens of millions of those votes were cast by non whites. Do the people of the middle east think that the USA is made up of 300 million white people? Come on, we are talking about people who want to rid the world of some other white people called Jews and they have nerve to lecture us about human rights?

Now I wont rewrite the whole article here but there is another point in the article that really frosted me. “Even where the United States is held in special contempt, like here in this benighted Palestinian coastal strip, the “glorious epic of Barack Obama,” as the leftist French editor Jean Daniel calls it, makes America – the idea as much as the actual place – stand again, perhaps only fleetingly, for limitless possibility.”

Hey Jean Daniel, the very existence of the USA is due to the limitless possibility of its people and its government ideals. America has been an actual place for over 200 years and we have stood the test of time while your very own nation has gone through, what, three forms of government.

Are we in the USA going to have to deal with what the rest of the world thinks of us? Seriously, will Obama bend to the will of the world and change our nation to look more like the failed governments of the world?

Hey Jean Daniel, people are dying and risking life and limb to get into the USA. They travel through the desert heat of the day and the freezing cold in the dark of night to get here. They build shanty floating craft to cross great expanses of water to get here. The float clinging to the side of rafts with their children huddling in the middle of that raft in order to get here. The last time I checked, people were not flocking to France or most other nations on this planet. We have had one stable government for over 200 years while your left leaning country has had three. And you have nerve to tell us that we are now living up to our ideal as a nation. Give me a break. We have always lived up to our ideals as a nation. That is evidenced by the scores of people who flock here legally and illegally.

What scares me is that Barack may be more interested in how these leftist idiots view us instead of how we Americans want to see ourselves. We are not beholden to the world. Screw humility for a moment. We are the nation that saved the whole damned world, TWICE! And we need to listen to some leftist jerk tell us how to run our nation, how to live?

No my friends, liberty and freedom is not dictated by those who wish to limit them. Liberty and freedom is fought for and protected by those who hold it dear. That someone over the last century has been the USA. No other nation on the planet has ever done more to advance the cause of freedom than the USA. No other nation in history has accomplished what the USA has especially in such a short period of time.

But we have those who wish us to be more like them. Less free. Less open. Less prosperous. But that is not America. That is not the ideal of the USA where opportunity is limitless. Yes, in our nation, a half African can indeed become President.

And to think, we did all of this when France could not even keep its borders safe, its people safe, its government in tact. And now this arrogant, leftist idiot dares to say we now are fulfilling our ideal because we may have elected a Muslim sympathizer? I tell you to look as France right now and you will see they are having a very hard time with an overflowing population of Muslims? Is this what Jean Daniel wants for our nation as well?

I think, unlike most nations on earth, America is a place where any race, religion, nationality, creed has a chance at producing a man or woman to become President. We are a people that continues to grow simply because we love freedom and liberty. And we see that everyone deserves to experience and live in that freedom and liberty. We believe it so strongly that we are willing to die to help others get that freedom and liberty.

I guess Jean Daniel would prefer that the USA would be more like France or some Middle Eastern Nation. But if we were, who would come to the rescue of France and free them from the tyranny of some tyrant that wishes to rule over them with an iron fist? Maybe the nation of Egypt would suite his needs of an open society better. Somehow I don't see Egypt or any other nation rushing to save France and Jean Daniel from tyranny any time soon.

Guess we better keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave so we can save human rights across the world so that Jean Daniel has the freedom to say stupid stuff like this and so Ethan Bronner can write articles of absurdity such as this.

God bless America for America has definitely blessed the world.
