America quo vadis

In the year 2010 one man made a decision which resulted in hundreds of thousands of military and civilians dying by burning, beheading, shooting and by any other method yet to be devised by depots! Thousands more were treated by all death devices of torture,and their blood is all upon that man! Many families were forcibly torn from each other and the the land they loved gone.

That man has never answered to anyone for even a fraction of what he has done. That man is Barack Hussein Obama and his administration, who, despite caution being advised by many who gave him seasoned advice to make wiser decisions, he convinced himself that 1.) He either knew better than the thousands or millions who knew that his decision would result in a tragedy in the world or 2.) that he really wanted the U.S. to fail or 3.) that he knew that great numbers of his faith would be invading the U.S. and bring their Sharia law with them, and given time would turn America from a nation which loved liberty into a slave state ruled by tyrants and barbarians.

When very young, in History class, I learned that Columbus had to put the date of his sailing off for year because Spain was fighting the Muslims to get them out of Europe.

In recent years, to be kind, they took innumerable number of refugees in. They were virtually invaded, bringing all the garbage that they believed with them, resulting in many countries having to be on guard at all times, fearing for their lives and of losing the land they had known.

What early Europe had eradicated, at their own peril, the EU tells each country how many "invaders" they will take. This is one of the reasons to explain "Brexit" — because of EU Britain had lost its sovereign ability to decide its own fate!

This is happening all over these countries which are involved. Wherever the refugees go it is to countries who have great welfare programs, of which they take full advantage.

If these countries are honest, you will learn that women fear for their lives and are not able go out at night for fear of being mugged or raped! How will American women react to this when they are told, as Ms. Merkel told the women in Germany recently, to "accommodate themselves to newly arrived refugees and not to place politically incorrect demands upon them — that is, not to demand that the refugees adapt to German ways."

Some had advised German women in particular that if they do not wish to be harassed by male refugees, that they should cover their heads and be accompanied by a male when outside! Is this to be part of America? I ask all women, "will you be happy when for safety's sake, you are required to live like this?"

John Kerry has said we must prepare ourselves for "a borderless world!" In other words, he wants us to give up our status a a nation.

We don't know who the refugees really are, good or bad. For this one reason, alone, we should support our president and help in every way we can for him to succeed in making America great again.

If after reading this you still want refugees who are not extremely vetted, may I suggest that you show your great generosity and accept two or three families into your own home, supplying them a place to live and provide them food, clothing and medical attention, perhaps sharing your bed with them and your spouse?

Are we like some politicians, all talk and no action?

A fried of mine has said "If your belief doesn't translate into behavior — then you don't really believe it!"
