I've said this already

What a difference ten months makes. This January I wrote two entries concerning our Cold Civil War here in America. I never once thought it would actually begin to take a physical turn. As the shutdown continues the administration is purposefully using law enforcement in it's fight to make Americans feel the pain of this shut down. Veterans were arrested in NYC for crossing into Federally closed monuments. People around the country are being forced out of their homes and.businesses by Federal law enforcement. The president on down has begun to use language that could potentially expose those in the opposition to violence. This ratcheting up of rhetoric and physical violence WILL bring out the fringe elements of both parties and a tragedy may soon occur.

I always hoped I'd be wrong. I underestimated the presidents inflexibility and dogmatic nature. Maybe I thought that somewhere in his life long indoctrination as a Socialist/ Communist through his family, friends, teachers and mentors, their would still be an American. I define an American as someone who does not like to be told what to do by government, and only asks for help when there is an extreme emergency. An American is creative and innovative. They want to be free to do whatever they please as long as it doesn't hurt their fellow neighbor. Americans like to own stuff, build stuff, sell stuff without government looking over their shoulders. I fear that this part of the president may not exist.

My esteemed audience you must come to the conclusion that we are not just disagreeing with each other any more. That we are at war with each others core principles and beliefs as we were during our civil war. We are a divided country and a divided government and Obama has done nothing but fanned the flames and spiked the football at those who voted against him. This attitude is his downfall. As of today he has fallen to a 37% Gallup approval rating. Obama sounds vengeful and arrogant. Even our dead heros are being treated disrespectfully by the administration after he signed a law to pay our active duty their benefits he orders the Pentagon to deny the death benefits to our fallen. This is not the beginning of what he will do to make us hurt.
