My comment Posted at
Religion News article
As a Moderate
Republican, after due consideration, I have switched to Obama along with
several Republicans. We prefer a stable administration rather than a chaotic
admin by Romney, who may flip the nation upside down on day #1 repealing
everything like a cranky kid. Things are going great and we cannot afford to
mess it up. I urge my fellow Republicans to put America first, then the party,
we owe it to America.
President Obama is not
bragging on his record of turning around a free falling economy, delivering
stability for America, protecting women's rights, recognition of every American
on an equal footing and securing America’s health, diplomacy that is producing
results, and restoring respect for America in the community of nations by
treating them on an equal basis instead of pursuing a bullying foreign policy
that will build resentment towards us, and endanger our freedom.
America is one of the
greatest nations on the earth because we adhere to the rule of law, protecting
each other and protecting the civil rights of every American.
Obama has restored
respect in the community of nations by understanding that we deal with the
people and not individuals. Ultimately
it is the people who honor the treaties and not the individuals. Dictators come
and go, but relationships between nations endure. More about it at Huffington
post or TheGhouseDiary.com
Obama rightfully sided
with the public in Egypt, rather than Dictator Mubarak. The diplomatic genius
of Obama managed the affair smoothly without anti-American demonstrations in
Egypt; the public saw us as their ally and not a supporter of their oppressor.
Had we supported the oppressed Iranians against the Dictator Shah, Iran
probably would not have gone fundamentalist or even theocratic; they would not
have held us hostage either, as we would have been on their side.
The morality of drone
warfare becomes justifiable when its purpose is to remove the specific
cancerous cells, and prevent damage to the fabric of the society at large.
Drone warfare is one of
the greatest inventions of civilization. It has allowed us to take Anwar
Awalaki out (One of the top Al-Qaeda operatives) with least collateral damage
and minimal revenge multiplier. No significant group has shed tears for this
man or Bin Laden.
However, the abuse of
drone warfare has gone too far in killing nearly 500 civilian innocent
children. We don’t like the terrorist killing innocent men and women. Why
should they like us when their innocents are being killed? President Obama
needs to back off and just hit the criminals, as Americans we need that
guarantee.
Who am I to worry about
Israelis and Palestinians? What inspires me to be involved in the Israel
Palestine conflict? Due to its length, it is a three part article at Huffington
