Leading By Example

"It is not for her flaws that the United States of America is hated, but for her virtues---not for her weaknesses, but for her achievements---not for her failures, but for her success---her magnificent, shining, life-giving success." (Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Ayn Rand; New American Library, 1967; pp 211, 212)
How do you apologize for success?  How do you apologize for freedom?  How do you apologize for people flocking to our borders, indeed trying to get in anyway they can?  How do apologize for having to build fences to keep people out instead of so many countries building fences to keep them in?
BO does NOT know what America is, what it stands for.  Maybe he doesn't care.  He just wants to make us more like the rest of the world.  Is that what you call hope?  Is that what you call change for the better?  Why not lead by example, by doing what we are doing, achieving what we have been achieving, achieving success---"magnificent, shining, life-giving success"---showing people from all over the world that there really is hope---hope of achieving, growing out of despair and poverty?
No, BO wants to bring the US back to earth in more than one way. (He is also destroying the space program.)  That sounds like madness/insanity.  "Here, let me help you by jumping into the hole with you."  Not only is BO destructive to our country; he is destructive to the hope that people world-wide have by seeing that someone can grow/improve/be successful---"magnificent, shining, life-giving success."
We need to replace this leader.  He is leading us backwards.

Profit Is Self-Justifying

In 1943 Isabel Paterson wrote: "The objection to profit is as if a bystander, observing te planter digging his crop, should say: 'You put in only one potato and you are taking out a dozen.  You must have taken them away from someone else; those extra potatoes cannot be yours by right.'  If profit is denounced, it must be assumed that running at a loss is admirable.  On the contrary, that is what requires justification.  Profit is self-justifying." (The Gos Of The Machine, Isabel Paterson; Transaction Publishers, 2009; p 221)  BO admires businesses running at a loss.  Indeed, BO wants the government to run at a loss.  That supposedly is admirable.  BO wants our whole society to run at a loss.  The problem with that is that nothing can run at a loss indefinitely.  It will eventually die.
We cannot let that happen to our country.  If BO has his way with our country, the world will suffer a huge loss.  People flood here as their last hope.  If BO has his way, the world will be without any hope.  If BO has his way, even BO will have no hope.  That is what evil does.  It destroys everything, even itself.
