Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

Many Americans are now beginning to both believe and even affirm that Conservative opponents of Obama who were sounding the alarm bells back in 2008, were definitively correct in their assertions and for very good reason.

The President’s authoritarian actions have placed him into political isolation across a score of policy fronts while defenders have dropped back into wildly ridiculous counter-arguments in an effort to make Obama’s actions seem both reasonable and justified, when in fact they are anything but.

Indeed, the fact that the NSA is monitoring every single move of every American via their phones, computers and even travels, while ignoring the threat from hundreds of thousands of Illegals pouring over the border, some certainly hostile, should give every single American thoughtful pause regardless of political leaning, and yet, it apparently does not.

In addition, a recent report from the Bureau of Labor & Statistics detailed that fact that since the year 2,000 virtually all of the 5.7 million new jobs created in that time period went to either legal or illegal aliens, leaving natural born Americans out in the cold. Yet Obama mocks and insults his concerned opposition for not fulfilling his desires, while simultaneously ignoring their constituent issues, and then blaming them for intransigence, calling it gridlock. The President then routinely threatens an executive bypass of voter representatives in Congress, while a seemingly vacuous pseudo-media claps and begs for more.

Objectifying onlookers might view these manifestations as being not the actions of a concerned President, but rather symptomatic of an underlying disorder commonly associated with pathological narcissism as complicated by a tendency towards authoritarianism.

Top Down, Bottom Up, Inside Out

However, it’s Obama’s actions with regard to the Mideast and Islamic Extremism, which now has many concerned foreign policy experts wondering what could possibly be next, from the President.

Obama’s promise to ’stand with them’ (the Muslims) has seemed to have taken full flight even as the winds have certainly shifted into an ugly political direction,  but it’s also which brand of Islamic extremism which Obama seems to be supporting  that has many alarmed.

Indeed, in February of 2011, National Director of Intelligence James Clapper appeared before a US intelligence committee and iterated to everyone in attendance that one of the primary players in the Egyptian Revolution, the Muslim Brotherhood, was a “secular group dedicated to non-violence.”

It was only a few months later and after the Brotherhood took over that the Muslim Brotherhood began crucifying, hanging and beheading Egyptian Christians at an unprecedented rate.

Although largely forgotten now, we can obviously see that Clapper’s testimony was not one of fact, but rather reflected an erroneous worldview which both Obama and his Regime wants America to see, in abeyance to a totally differing truth which they would rather keep hidden.

This hidden worldview by America’s leadership, in fact, speaks to what both could and should be defined as a clear and present danger to America and its future.  However,  Obama’s polished theatrical skills in concert with the warped optics reflected by a largely co-opted media, leaves many not a little dazed if not completely confused as to the President’s overall agenda.

Moreover, we can see this phenomenon by meaningfully noting what the President has done, in responding to each Mideast event, as opposed to what the President has obtusely stated, prior to his overall reaction by noting the penultimate response and the hindmost outcome. While the President seems to have been finally if not reluctantly  dragged to a war-party footing of stopping the spread of ISIS, Obama has instituted what could be termed mini-pin prick attacks designed to irritate the enemy, at best and anger his Generals, at worst.

Further, the President has sought to now intensify the arming of the same radical Islamic element of Syrian rebel fighters, who eventually became the ISIS -caliphate state, in the first place.

Israel

While Obama has consistently proffered the open hand of friendship towards America’s avowed enemies within most if not all of the Islamic world, the President has chillingly shunned America’s Israeli allies in the Mideast.

Recently Obama stunningly halted shipments of US hellfire missiles to Israel even while arming and funding the same Al Qaeda rebels in Syria who eventually broke off and became the brutal Caliphate building terrorist group known as ISIS.

This because the deadly terrorist group Al Qaeda could supposedly no longer accept ISIS’ radical extremist views, if one can imagine that.  Nor are Obama’s true feelings concerning Israel’s Jewish President a big secret when an open mic incident in late 2011 caught Obama bemoaning the fact that he had to deal with the Israeli leader on a daily basis.

In fact, even while the terrorist organization, Hamas, was lobbing rockets into Israel from Palestine, the US President continually scolded and even warned Israel for firing back and counter-attacking the bloodthirsty Islamic group in a clearly defensive posture, prompting many to ask exactly whose side Obama was on.

During the HAMAS missile firing conflict with Israel,  a transcript of a heated conversation  between Obama and Israel President Netanyahu was released in ‘The Times of Israel’ which was subsequently translated into English,  and published in the Wall Street Journal, as follows:

Barack Obama: I demand that Israel agrees to an immediate, unilateral ceasefire and halt all offensive activities, in particular airstrikes.

Benjamin Netanyahu: And what will Israel receive in exchange for a ceasefire?

BO: I believe that Hamas will cease its rocket fire — silence will be met with silence.

BN: Hamas broke all five previous ceasefires. It’s a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel.

BO: I repeat and expect Israel to stop all its military activities unilaterally. The pictures of destruction in Gaza distance the world from Israel’s position.

BN: Kerry’s proposal was completely unrealistic and gives Hamas military and diplomatic advantages.

BO: Within a week of the end of Israel’s military activities, Qatar and Turkey will begin negotiations with Hamas based on the 2012 understandings, including Israel’s commitment to removing the siege and restrictions on Gaza.

BN: Qatar and Turkey are the biggest supporters of Hamas. It’s impossible to rely on them to be fair mediators.

BO: I trust Qatar and Turkey. Israel is not in the position that it can choose its mediators.

BN: I protest because Hamas can continue to launch rockets and use tunnels for terror attacks –

BO: (interrupting Netanyahu) The ball’s in Israel’s court, and it must end all its military activities.

The question which should be asked might center on whether or not the President also had such a conversation with HAMAS leadership, which started the conflict in the first place.

So, is the President siding with America’s most passionately avowed enemies or America’s greatest ally? Perhaps the answer lies partially within the fact that in February 2014, prior to the ISIS rampage, Obama actually referred to the medieval inclined terrorist group invading Iraq as a “JV team.”

Indeed, Obama’s insidious attitude towards the nation of Israel has recently instituted a modern-day “Exodus” from the Democrat party by a number of Jewish US citizens, according to recent reports.  In fact, Obama even stated the following as an exclamation point to these rather telling facts:

“Because Israel is so capable militarily, I don’t worry about Israel’s survival.”~ Barack H. Obama

However, the penultimate slap in the face by the Obama Regime against Israel occurred when Secretary of State John Kerry sided with two of Israel’s greatest opponents, the nations of  Turkey and Qatar, which both fund and back Hamas, in order to broker a cease-fire with Israel at Egypt’s original behest and  an event which the Washington Post described, as follows:

“By turning to Turkey and Qatar, Kerry also enhanced their position in the regional power game. That’s contrary to the interests and desires of the United States’ traditional allies, such as Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the moderate Palestinian camp headed by Abbas.”

Either way, despite the vast majority of Americans who support Israel, Obama’s allegiance against the consent of the  governed in America has increasingly inclined towards siding with Islamic terrorist-states as opposed to democratically elected non-Islamist allies of the US.

The question is why?

Egypt

The issue seemed to have begun in earnest when Obama sought to topple Presidential dictator Hosni Mubarek’s peace-keeping authoritarian regime in Egypt, in apparent favor of a Muslim Brotherhood takeover.  Egypt is populated primarily by Sunni Muslims, which are the same Islamic sects which comprise the terrorist group ISIS or ISIL which, once again, is now overtaking Iraq.

Not by coincidence, the Muslim Brotherhood is also comprised of Muslims belonging to the Sunni sect of Islam, as does Wahhabiism or Silafism, both forms of ultra-extremist Islamism.

After Sunni leader Mohamed Morsi took over Egypt as President and promptly suspended the constitution, the Islamists came out in full force and through Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood followers, began a form of religious cleansing which include killing and crucifying of Christians all over Egypt, eventually causing the Egyptian military to step in and take over due largely to populous demands.

During the same time period of Morsi’s reign of terror, Obama had finalized an agreement in which F-16 fighters, tanks, and billions of dollars in funding was being sent over by the US.  When the Egyptian military finally took over the government, Obama promptly halted both the transfer of aid and arms.

So, the first question one might begin asking could be centered upon whether or not a declaration of martial law is acceptable to Obama. The next question might be that if martial law is indeed acceptable– then why is a martial law takeover, by the military at the behest of the governed, then somehow not?  In essence, “what difference at this point does it make?”

Of note is the now buried fact that the Obama Regime actually facilitated the overthrow of Western ally Mubarek, in favor of the western hating Muslim Brotherhood. According to an article which appeared in the UK Telegraph on January 28, 2011, agents of the US Government were fully engaged in the overthrow of the Mubarek Regime.

So, it would appear that the Obama Regime was at the very least culpable in the destabilization of one of America’s and Israel’s most stable Mideast allies.

With the nation of Egypt now economically and culturally in tatters, one wonders if the Egyptians are enduringly appreciative of Obama’s brand of “Change We Can Believe In?”

Or perhaps stolen democratic elections and regular democratic elections are apparently viewed as one and the same in Obama’s increasingly warped Acorn-inspired viewpoint.  Either way, Obama seemed to come down squarely in support of an Islamic extremist takeover of Egypt and if not for Egypt’s military, would have achieved just that.

In essence , Obama supported the  Sunni Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt which by the way, is primarily Sunni Muslim, against the secular military’s recapture of the government in order to restore full order and put an end to the religious cleansing.

Syria

Despite Obama’s consistent promises with regard to red lines and chemical weapons when it came to Syria, Obama’s desire to immediately attack and bring down Bashar al Assad’s autocratic government, was stifled by political pressure leveled by none other than the American people from all sides of the political perspective….
