OPINION: Arms Of Obama

By Roger Madon

With the 2011 budget compromise behind us, finally, we can now concentrate on what America’s future will look like.  And the foundation of that future will be the perpetuation of America’s military dominance throughout the world.

The presidential election of 2012 will determine how we will meet the fiscal challenges of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security for the next 30 years.  And it is only by resolving these seemingly mundane mandates that we will be able to continue to maintain our armed forces so that our nation can continue to be the beacon of freedom throughout the world.

President Obama does not yet grasp the relationship between our fiscal health and our world mission.  I don’t think he ever will because the core of his beliefs stem from the bankrupt ideology of statism and government control.  He views this nation as one that selfishly delivers benefits to its own people not as an angel for freedom.

If the Constitution of the United States represents our nation’s rule of law it is our Declaration of Independence that represents our soul.  And it is to our soul, to our core beliefs, the very sinews of our existence as a great nation, which freedom loving peoples throughout the world look for comfort and support.

I refer to Sarah McLachlan’s moving rendition: “In the arms of an Angel, far away from here, …..
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.”
