Arrogant Americans

I’m a little sick and tired of the leaders of this country working so hard to tear us down. It’s the job of the President to explain to the world why we are such a great country – not to constantly apologize for our mistakes. Why is that Obama will go around cow-towing to every dictator and Socialist moron in the world playing nice and making up, yet day after day will take every opportunity to kick sand in the eye of America’s former president? He goes to Europe and tells those cowards that we’re “arrogant” and “dismissive”. He goes to Mexico and blames their problems on the gunmakers and drug addicts in America. Isn’t that like saying she deserved to be raped because of the way she was dressed? Yeah, it’s just as absurd. And at the Summit of the Americas he figuratively bowed before Venezuela and Cuba, two nations hostile to the United States. Oh, but wait, that was George Bush’s fault – not the fault of Communism or Socialism.

Anyway, I came across a great piece by Peter Heck of One News Now I wanted to share with you:

As I was sitting in church waiting for the start of the service, my grandpa came walking towards me pointing his finger. No matter how old I get, and no matter how long he’s been out of the U.S. Navy, that’s still an intimidating sight. As he approached me, his voice quivered as he said, “We saved that continent twice…how dare my president apologize for this country’s arrogance.” My grandpa is right. Americans need not apologize to the world for their arrogance; rather, Americans should apologize to their forefathers for the arrogance of their president.

Barack Obama’s first foreign trip as President of the United States has confirmed the naiveté so many of us feared during the election cycle. But worse than that, it has also demonstrated that our president suffers from either a complete misunderstanding of our heritage and history, or an utter contempt for it. Neither is excusable.

Garnering cheers from the French of all people, President Obama declared, “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” Consider that Obama spoke these words just 500 miles from the beaches of Normandy, where the sand is still stained with 65-year-old blood of “arrogant Americans.”
