At least Israelis know their leader loves their country

At least Israel never has to worry about whether their leader loves their country.

The fact that so many people are gnashing their teeth over Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing a joint meeting of the United States Congress today is a reminder we live in a deranged time.

Partisan politics and diplomatic rifts are keeping more than two dozen Democrats from attending the speech, while our president goes out of his way to daily remind us of what he meant when he said he said (prior to his election in 2008): "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

There's no doubt in my mind we should stand with Israel, but with the Obama administration continually antagonizing this relationship, it makes one wonder what really motivated him when he said, "The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet."

But again, at least the people of Israel never have to worry about whether their leader loves their country.

I keep thinking about a particular quote I came across in doing some research for this column, when Michelle Obama said this on the campaign trail in 2008: "We are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

Hasn't this happened?

While Netanyahu comes to America to make the case for Israel, Obama has done everything possible through his second-term agenda and via executive orders to show that the United States of America is a country he has virtually no love for – until it is fundamentally transformed.

With Obama's shocking executive amnesty and apparent defiance of a court order halting his nation-breaking plan, the Weekly Standard quoted him as saying there would be no deportations of illegal aliens and that "there are going to be consequences" for that ICE official or Border Control agent who doesn't follow his dictates.

Doesn't it seem like Obama will only be happy once every illegal alien is granted citizenship and can vote in an election? Or, when the IRS processes billions of dollars worth of refunds to illegal aliens once the executive amnesty finally becomes the law of Obama's America?

But again, at least Israel never has to worry about whether their leader loves their country.

Benjamin Netanyahu's every action as prime minister of Israel is to ensure his nation is strengthened; President Obama's every action as president of the United States is to ensure the nation he inherited is weakened, so that the transformation of America into a country Michelle and he can be proud of is complete.

Via executive order, President Obama is now going after ammo. Because there still exists enough of an America left to protect the Second Amendment, Obama can't erode too much more the right to bear arms, but he can work to push through a proposal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to ban .223 M855 "green tip" ammo for the AR-15 rifle.

Never mind that most gangbangers seem to be always sporting a stolen Hi-Point 9mm or Tec-9 pistol, the overwhelmingly majority of those who have been buying up AR-15 rifles and ammo for the gun since Obama became president and set his sights on our gun rights have been law-abiding people worried about exactly this moment: the day executive orders are used to undermine our right to legally obtain firearms.

But again, at least Israel never has to worry about whether their leader loves their country.

To me, the worst offense of the Obama administration was his publicly siding with the Ferguson rioters/looters/arsonists on Nov. 24, 2014, as the grand jury in St. Louis County decided not to charge Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown.

Here's what the President said to the nation that evening:

"As you know, a few moments ago, the grand jury deliberating the death of Michael Brown issued its decision. It's an outcome that, either way, was going to be subject of intense disagreement not only in Ferguson, but across America. So I want to just say a few words suggesting how we might move forward.

"First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law. And so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury's to make. There are Americans who agree with it, and there are Americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. It's an understandable reaction. But I join Michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully."

Of course, Michael Brown's stepfather was caught on film yelling, "Burn this b–ch down (Ferguson)," but one can't ascertain whether or not this was the "understandable reaction" Obama meant when he spoke that evening.

In the address, he noted that America is a nation built on the rule of law, a fact he's willfully ignored time and time again.

Whether it's a lawless IRS auditing conservative-leaning nonprofits, or pushing through changes in the wording of Obamacare, Obama has worked assiduously to craft a nation his wife would finally be proud to call home.

But again, at least Israel never has to worry about whether their leader loves their country.

As for America, every action at this point undertaken by President Obama is one all Americans must question with this: Is he doing this because he loves our country, or is he doing this because he loves the country he's busy creating?
