Op-ed Submission: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ‘I’ AND ‘WE’
Article 2 in the Constitution gives the President several powers. One of them is to speak directly to all the people in the Sovereign States of America. Another power is to speak to all the nations of the world as to the fundamental and resolute defense of the United States of America with regard to its Independence and opposition to tyrannical demands from any nation. When a President speaks to either audience as noted, he speaks for all the citizens of the United States of America. He must therefore speak only from knowledge of all the historical advances of the defense of our liberties. From these occasional but most important public actions, a single voice represents the USA to the world. “So as to leave no doubt,” is the central message of America’s resolve. When this happened by any President engaged in international trauma that harmed America, history records the affect within the world community. When the resolve of the USA was in doubt, the American citizen was harmed. Indeed, doubt of America’s resolve was an element in the ascension of tyrants and the delay in educating, liberty with responsibility, in many parts of the globe. A guiding light was shut off; is one analogy.
As a living USA citizen and veteran, having heard the spoken word of presidents, starting from Franklyn D. Roosevelt, (WW2) I have been a witness to domestic and world events that changed because of those words. Most astonishing are two single words that are used in our Presidential message. The words are ‘I and ‘We.’
For the first time in my life, I have heard a President use ‘I’ to represent the USA. While this contrast may seem trivial and uneventful, to me it is the alarm for “Battle Stations.” Something is wrong. It is difficult to put my finger on any single reason for the word ‘I’ to replace ‘we’ in Barack H. Obama’s speeches. I recall John F. Kennedy always used ‘we.’ May I try to address just two reasons; using my life’s experience.
During Obama’s campaign he publicly announced, “I pray to Jesus every night.” I assumed this was to put the public at rest as to any allegiance to Islam. As a Christian, this jolted me. You see folks, especially those that read the Bible; when asked, Jesus answered “Our Father who art in heaven…” was the prayer to God. “Now I lay me down to sleep,” begins a child’s prayer…to God. Apparently the past twenty years in Reverend Wright’s church helped Obama to detour from the Bible, and miss the fundamental message of Jesus, and the repeated admonishment of Apostle Paul in letters to “Romans,” and “Corinthians,” in the early Christian churches who were getting the message wrong and making things up. Look it up.
My first admiration of Obama including photos of his gaze aloft caused me hesitation. He introduced me to question his life as a qualified and honorable candidate. Each question I formed was opposed by diversion, decoy, altering or hiding factual natural birth documentation, and questionable allegiances that formed his exclusive American resolve. His sequence of public exposure was aligned with questionable and criminal associations. His political ascension was a contrived road managed by opportunists to raid the public treasury, using the benevolent soul of Americans. Productive American citizens fill the State and Federal treasuries. Non-productive citizens are legitimate voters. To harvest the non-productive voter by acting as their savior soon became an apparent political power. Tyrants have used this ploy for centuries. Have the destructive Nazi, Imperial Japanese, and Communist World Destiny Dreams of the past century been lost to our national reason? Is Obama, our Commander in Chief aware of the factual efforts of American sacrifice?
The second reason I promised to express, is the subliminal destructive force of ‘Tolerance.’ Most associate ‘tolerance’ as beneficial. However ‘tolerance’ has advanced to become, “The Tolerance of Evil.” I believe our two-party political evolution has allowed a, “Mutual Blackmail Society,” to tilt the balance of honorable government to the ever-existing opportunists of corruption. The founders tried to protect the nation by a ‘separation of powers.’ Becoming a student of our Constitution I found one flaw that has become more important as time passes. The US Senate, indeed Congress does not have ‘Term Limits.’ This oversight has become the crucible of corruption of our nation. A single Party can also become a government within a government by evolving to capture all three parts of our federal powers. A domino effect of interjecting legislative Party Power over the intelligent-based lawful debate is upon us. Power by a single non-term-limited Party committee-chair has omnipotent, indeed tyrannical power over the rule of law. Nancy Peloci is an example. A mutation of judicial power to become the legislators of government is upon us. Thus a mutual force by criminal intent to circumvent “the government of the people by the people,” will indeed cause our nation to perish. Membership requires the mutual knowledge of political crime for personal wealth taken from the treasury of productive Americans.
I believe that President Barack H. Obama is both a tool and knowing member of “The Mutual Blackmail Society,” by virtue of naivety, ego psychopathic, or life conditioning to believe that he is a messianic figure as well and thus can use the “I” when speaking to us and a confused world; a world that will follow the darkening light. Look it up.
