OPINION:
Why would an American president wish ill on his own country? It would appear from all indications that we have a president who is doing everything he can do to bring America down.
As the economy continue to flounder, Preident Obama condemns the rich and opposes business. The market will not recover as long as Mr. Obama is in charge and here’s why: Our president is the product of alienated, anti-American, anti-Western parents who were themselves the products of the violent, leftist upheavals of the 1960s. Their discontent was passed on to Mr. Obama.
Others of us who lived through the 1960s grew up and moved on from our fleeting rebellion, realizing our Marxist dalliances were fruitless. In fact, economic freedom and the profit incentive are the best and most honest motivators for human activity.
The founders were right when they limited government because they did not trust it. By its very nature, government seeks to dominate human life for its own purposes. I am deeply concerned that we have a president who is - although cleverly disguised - a very destructive, authoritarian throwback.
