THIS IS THE FOURTH AND LAST IN THIS SERIES OF ARTICLES
When President Obama began his campaign for the Presidency, he launched his campaign in the land of Lincoln in Illinois.
Here’s a quote from Abraham Lincoln, Feburary 12, 1865. About 150 years ago.
“The people are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
Several years back I read a funny article by a writer who said, “Roosevelt proved one could be president for life, Truman proved anyone could be president, Eisenhower proved we don’t even need a president and Kennedy proved it’s dangerous to have one.”
Thinking about that humorous writing, I stopped to wonder what Obama is out to prove. As I see it, being President of the United States is the most powerful job in the world. It’s his job as commander-in-chief to oversee the military, however he has never been in the military and has no military service in his record. He’s CEO over the largest budget in the world but not an economist.
SEVENTH ARTICLE ABOUT SCHOOLS
LABOR DAY
During the second world war, many concentration camps were set up in Germany. They were actually prison camps of horror. There are many stories of the the deaths, abuse, starvation and misery, suffered by the German people.
One lady named Corrie ten Boom lived and survived one of these camps, moving to United States after the war. She told stories of the filth they lived in and how the women complained about it. They lived in conditions which attracted swarms of flies and the ladies complained about the flies. Reminding them, the filth and flies kept the SS troops away, which prevented them from being raped. She would encourage them to bless the flies.
There is such a diversity of ideas, language, opinions, and arguments about what is actually taking place in America and the world; it is difficult to sort through to figure out truth from fiction.
Just seeing all the signs hundreds were carrying at the recent Tea Party protest gatherings presents a picture of diversity in what individuals wish to express. Despite the diversity of expression via printed placards, the action conveyed an underlying feeling of disenchantment with what is happening in this country on a variety of levels.
