We Get the Leaders We Deserve

As an Illinois State Senator, then State Senator Barack Obama voted multiple times against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.  The Born Alive Infant Protection Act was a bill that required medical professionals to provide life-saving medical care to babies who survived botched abortions.  In his opposition to this bill, Senator Obama mused that recognizing babies as persons would entitle them to the 14th Amendment protections under our Constitution.  He went on to state that passage of this bill would end legal abortion and render Roe v Wade mute.

The standard practice in most abortion clinics when a baby survives the procedure meant to kill it is to place the baby in a surgical tray, place the tray in a supply closet or isolated area, and wait for the crying to stop, or to put it bluntly; wait for the baby to die.  The greatest country on earth voted twice to elect as our President a man who supports this practice.  When we put President Obama in office we got what we deserved.  We got what we deserved, but the millions of innocent children who have died and will die under his watch deserved none of this.

When we made Barack Obama our President we elected the most abortion-friendly President in history; a man who proudly proclaimed “God bless Planned Parenthood.”  Our complacency as thousands of unborn children are killed every day and millions are killed every year put us in the position where our President would rather shut down the government than defund the world’s largest abortion provider.

Our complacency has given us a leader who expresses his outrage every time a mass shooting takes place, yet says nothing as thousands of innocent children are killed on a daily basis.  Our leader projects weakness, and the rogue leaders and terrorists of the world are emboldened to pursue their agendas, knowing that America will not take a stand against evil.

When our leaders fail to lead, we are morally obligated to lead ourselves.   The dysfunction of our national leaders is no excuse for allowing over a million innocent children to be killed in America’s abortion mills every year.  We can end the killing without them passing a single bill.  Without the demand for their services, the doors of America’s abortion industry could be closed for the last time tomorrow.  All we have to do is stop deciding to pay an evil empire to kill our unborn children.

Until America stands on the side of life and elects leaders of similar beliefs, we will continue our downward spiral into irrelevancy.  Until we decide, as individuals, to do what our inept leadership lacks the courage or moral fortitude to do, we will remain complicit in the consequences of their inaction and indifference.

Letter to President Obama #101

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Washington, D.C.  20500

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 February 8, 2015

Mr. President:

 At last week’s National Prayer Breakfast you tried to strike a moral equivalency between radical Islam and Christianity.  I’m not surprised.  You have a long history of saying the wrong things at just the right time.  As I write this, ISIS is raping and murdering children, beheading Muslims and Christians, and committing unspeakable acts of barbarism in the name of Islam, and you don’t have the courage to call them radical Islamists.

What should we expect from a President who classified the terrorist attack on Fort Hood as workplace violence?  How do we look to our President as the voice of moral clarity when you uttered the words “God bless Planned Parenthood?”  Mr. President, as the titular leader of the free world, in theory, the world should be able to look to you as the voice of reason when the sky is falling.  Instead, tiny countries like Jordan are carrying the fight to ISIS while you stonewall them as they beg you for basic material assistance.

As a military veteran, I’m profoundly embarrassed that the Commander in Chief of the world’s greatest military happens to be you.  As a man who respects honor and integrity, I worry about the future of an America that’s lead by a man who possesses neither of these attributes.  America is better than you and your fellow leftists will let her be.  I’m confident we will return to greatness in spite of your best efforts to bring us down.

Most of my letters to you are written because of your role as the most abortion-friendly President in history.  The true test of a leader is how he treats those with no power to oppose him.  Your record of not only supporting abortion, but actively promoting it shows what kind of leader you are.  Since your days as an Illinois State Senator you’ve been firmly in the corner of the pro-abortion side.  Your multiple votes against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, a bill designed to provide life-saving treatment to children who survived botched abortions, show just how radical your pro-abortion views are.

Mr. President, you are on record as stating you will veto the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act if it makes it to your desk.  Please explain to me, the American public, and every unborn child in America why you feel it should be legal to dismember pain-capable babies while they are killed by the thousands.   While you’re at it, as a constitutional scholar, please point out the section of the constitution that affirms a woman’s “core constitutional right” to have her unborn child killed.  These are your words so I’m sure you’ve dog-eared the passage in your pocket constitution to back them up.

Mr. President, the world’s on fire and you’re yukking it up with Utube celebrities and brewing beer in the White House.  Get a grip and while you’re at it, get a backbone.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.
