To the Editor:
To all the Obama worshippers out there, here is something for you to consider:
I don't recall there being any war waged against police officers when George W. Bush was president, nor do I recall a major European city being attacked with more than 100 people being killed.
I don't remember there being mass migration from the Middle East into Europe; or men beheaded, and women raped and sold into slavery by ISIS. There wasn't a holocaust on Christians in the Middle East.
I don't remember there being American military members killed under non-wartime conditions when Bush was president, but I know this has happened at Fort Hood, Texas, and Chattanooga, Tenn., under Obama's presidency.
I don't remember a chasm this wide between the races, or Americans being killed by illegal immigrants, when Bush was president. I don't recall so much international and domestic chaos, but I do recall in vivid detail all the horrific events above with Obama as president.
When historians write the book on Obama, it will be titled: "How to Destroy America."
I'm still trying to figure out why even one American would vote in 2016 for Hillary Clinton, who is Barack Obama 2.0. So,to my Democratic friends, I would say: Enjoy it while you can, because you are going to hear the name "Barack Obama" negatively so much in the coming years that you'll feel like your head is going to explode. You deserve it for defending the indefensible, ridiculous and absurd.
I sleep well at night knowing that I voted for George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney. The next presidential race should not be a popularity contest. We don't need weak again. We need tough.
