Syria is not Our Enemy

By David Lawrence

I wish Obama would quit playing up to his image of the good guy who saves innocent people. His attack on Syria will just lead to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaida and contingently murder more Syrians.

 

He plays Mr. Empathetic good guy but he is responsible for numerous deaths and the financial collapse within America.  His green energy ideas have bombed, cost us jobs and increased our deficit by billions.

 

His health care plans have raised the cost of insurance, cut the availability of doctors and reduced numerous full time workers to part time employees.

 

That people would still listen to his childish, sophomoric ideas is a joke. Mr. Pacifist is once again risking American lives. He thinks he will avoid boots on the ground in Syria but he doesn't have the military experience to assume that.

 

Syria is not our enemy.  It is its own enemy.  Obama is the one demolishing the American Way of life. He is Syria without the nerve gas. 

 

Obama has even hurt our traditions and morals, enabling same sex marriage, an emotional windfall but a moral disaster and a frightening horror to children. 

 

Obama has a good heart.  He wants the best for everyone.  But he has a truncated brain that sees the small picture and the immediate solution rather than the long term workability of thought-out ideas. His theories seem good in the short-term but in the long term hurt us. Psychiatrist Alfred Adler used to call this type of diminished thinking—short-term hedonism.    

 

The highway to hell is paved with Obama’s best intentions.  He went to an Ivy League College but never ingested the various, eclectic and dialectic ideas of the institution. He is not a thinker. He is a purveyor of clichés.   He is the brash ivy on the walls.
