Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

Paul Eidelberg

Some commentators have said that America, the land of free and the home of the brave, died when Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States. Even these commentators were shocked when President Obama bowed deeply to Saudi King Abdullah. I wonder how many Americans connected that ignominious incident with the fact that 15 of the 19 suicide bombers that destroyed the World Trade Center on 9/11 and murdered almost 3,000 human beings on that horrific day were Saudis!!!

Was President Obama oblivious of this fact? But surely he knows that Saudi Arabia is an epicenter of international terrorism. Surely he knows that the Saudis have built countless mosques in the United States, where imams preach hatred of America. Yet he bows to King Abdullah—signifying that he, the President of the United States, is an empty-headed [man?] a man without a chest.

Not only does he have the audacity to call Americans arrogant, but such is his depravity or decadency that he apologizes to the primitive and despotic world of Islam, whose deranged and demonic adherents have slaughtered some 270 million human beings since the time of Muhammad!

So what are we to say of this media-created president of the people who still support him?

What are we to say of the Democratic Party, whose elites, like Obama, are most accurately described as anti-patriotic internationalists?

And what are we to say of the Republican Party? Did it vigorously denounce Obama for bowing to King Abdullah? Did it propose—never mind the futility—a Resolution in both Houses of Congress censuring Obama for dishonoring the Office of the President of the United States, for dishonoring, too, the Nation that has repeatedly saved mankind from barbarism, and for dishonoring the victims of 9/11 and their families?

What is left of my once beloved America, land of the free and home of the brave?
