Obama’s ethics twisted

I read Amy Goodman’s almost incoherent ramblings of March 25 (“Fight terror with stronger values”) and sought to glean the values average Americans would recognize.

On Good Friday, Barack Obama broke bread with the communist leaders of one of the most ruthless dictatorships in our lifetime. The millions in aid (our tax dollars) and crony capital will surely help tighten the tyrannical grip of the police state on the struggling Cuba citizenry. Obama’s disdain for the plight of average people has spread to other shores. His legacy would be one of cognitive dissonance if you believe for a second that he actually cared about “We, the People.”

This piece is pure leftist propaganda. Steeped in the values of communism. The intolerant globalist interviewed for her article said, “It’s eye for an eye, revenge type things” until we get what we want.

Terrorist attacks the world over are being blamed on American policy instead of the twisted values of men seeking power over other men. Communist, socialist, progressive. The name has changed but the stripe is the same. Ethics based in solid moral code are the bedrock of free societies, not twisted personal values.
