It was the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery civil rights march. President Obama presiding. The theme seems to be about all of us being equal. A historic speech by a historic president about a historic time in our history.

The Cybercast News Service (CNS news.com) has the transcript. I read it several times and came up with the same thing. These are the rants of a tyrant that twists the words of your Declaration into something else. His audience is largely African-American. It is my opinion that he has deliberately deceived these people horrifically, straight to their faces.

This was not a speech such as Dr. Martin Luther King or Abraham Lincoln would have given, a speech that puts the love of Christ first, edifying to all that hear it. I implore you to read it very carefully for yourself. “We broke with old aristocracies declaring ourselves entitled not by blood line but endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. We secure our rights and responsibilities through a system of government of and by and for the people.”

Responsibilities? Through a system of government? That my friends is Karl Marx, not Thomas Jefferson. Do you remember when Michelle Obama said “Barack will never allow you to return to your lives as usual?”

Lo! Behold! We have it! African-Americans, White, Yellow, Red, have a forced, legal responsibility to buy Obamacare. How many times did the president lie to you in its passage? Is this not tyranny, rather than liberty as our forefathers intended?

He said: “We’re the fresh faced GI’s that liberated a continent.”

Folks, the President still releases fresh faced Taliban and Al-Quada commanders back on to the battlefield only to kill our fresh faced GI’s of today. All of this while ISIS goes largely unchecked. The radical Islamic caliphate is growing and is at least as evil as the Nazi Third Reich. Obama’s inaction against ISIS is, in my opinion, as evil as assisting them. His “action” of pulling out of Iraq prematurely has created the void for this evil to rise.

Mixed in with all of this foolishness is a little bit of truth. He made mention of the Great Tuskegee airmen, the Navajo code talkers and Japanese Americans of World War II. He told us of how they fought for our country/ precepts of liberty while their own liberty was denied. This is all true, however, does Barack Obama even consider that these heroes were fighting to uphold the very principles of American freedom given to all under the Declaration and the Constitution despite their oppression? These were and are the greatest of the greatest of our veterans. Barack Obama, however, seeks to “stir it up” as he and Eric Holder did in Ferguson, Missouri. The result? Four cops shot — two dead, two wounded. As an American, I don’t see color. I see us as Americans. I don’t see us divided up into groups, pitted against one another by Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Al Sharpton or anyone else that serves themselves for their agenda and money. I am on board with Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King. She said “Let’s put away the race card and proclaim ‘In God We Trust.’”

If Barack Obama is so “down for the struggle” with all of us, then why does he and his family take such lavish and uber expensive vacations, flying around on Air Force One as though it were his own personal private jet. His golf bill alone is beyond astronomical. We also pay for party after party. Hollywood stars are invited in droves. Black, White, Yellow, Red, we all paid for the Obama’s Africa vacation upwards of $100 million for one week, so says the Huffington Post.com. Judicial watch.com reports about $3.7 million for the last Hawaii gig over Christmas, plus other lavish cost breakdowns are there for one to read.

No, my fellow Mainers this first so called African-American president is not a champion of anyone. It is this writer’s opinion that only the uber deceived liberal and the genuine America hating Marxist are his only true subjects.

How great it would have been for all of us to have had former Congressman Allen West as our first African- American President. I am not a huge fan of Condoleezza Rice, our former Secretary of State for the Bush administration. However she would have been infinitely better for all Americans than our selfserving veiled Marxists that run so much of our current government.

Sadly, at this point, the problem is not the Obama administration and his anticapitalist czars. We real Americans know who they are. The real problem today is the “go along to get along” politician. That would include our entire delegation from Maine. All of them should be screaming foul ball about importing millions of illegal aliens, illegally. Our debt alone is our greatest threat to our national security. Global Warming has been reduced to a “scientific” dime store joke, yet Obama is still pushing it. People are dying unnecessarily because of Obamacare and the cost continues to be a disaster.

What is the solution? Well, it may upset some but here it is. Second Chronicles 7:14 in the Holy Bible says this. “If my people, who are called by my Name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land. It is the opinion of this writer that God always was and always will be the solution to our falling nation.
