This nation is in serious trouble, both domestically and internationally. We have open borders, illegal immigration, a looming financial crisis with a national debt nearing $20 trillion and unfunded governmental obligations totaling more than $100 trillion. As well we have growing welfare programs and a level of polarization never seen before. Internationally we face an apocalyptic nightmare from radical Islam, an economic and military challenge from China, apparent intercontinental-ballistic-missile testing from North Korea, lost respect from our friends, increasing enmity from our enemies and a resurgent Russian presence in the Middle East. A major area of concern is Mr. Obama’s history of platitudes and his catering to Muslims, starting in Cairo in 2009 when he stated that the U.S. is not at war with the Muslim world. More recently he’s been willing to allow into this country unknown numbers of Muslim refugees despite the warning from top intelligence officials, heated objections by the American public and the European example of the danger of mass Muslim immigration. The president recently visited a Baltimore mosque under FBI surveillance due to its association with the radical Muslim brotherhood. Is this all part of Mr. Obama’s transformation of our country, or, in other words, his idea of change?
