On September 24, 2014, President Obama spoke to the UN in a speech right out of 1984. Here are some examples, juxtaposed with reality:"First, all of us – big nations and small – must meet our responsibility to observe and enforce international norms."
Pentagon: New airstrikes target refineries used by ISIS in Syria
"We believe that right makes might – that bigger nations should not be able to bully smaller ones; that people should be able to choose their own future."
The Big Switch: Obama Preparing to Bomb His Way to Regime Change in Syria
"But we will insist that all nations abide by the rules of the road, and resolve their territorial disputes peacefully, consistent with international law."
OBAMA’S SYRIA STRIKES ARE AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL WAR
The executive has no right... whether there is or is not cause for declaring war
"America is committed to a development agenda that eradicates extreme poverty by 2030. We will do our part – to help people feed themselves; power their economies; and care for their sick...
America is pursuing ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions, and we have increased our investments in clean energy. We will do our part, and help developing nations to do theirs."
Renewable Energy Policy Hurts African Poor
"it is no exaggeration to say that humanity’s future depends on us uniting against those who would divide us along fault lines of tribe or sect; race or religion.
This is not simply a matter of words. Collectively, we must take concrete steps to address the danger posed by religiously motivated fanatics, and the trends that fuel their recruitment."
It is the task of all great religions to accommodate devout faith with a modern, multicultural world. No children – anywhere – should be educated to hate other people. There should be no more tolerance of so-called clerics who call upon people to harm innocents because they are Jewish, Christian or Muslim. It is time for a new compact among the civilized peoples of this world to eradicate war at its most fundamental source: the corruption of young minds by violent ideology.
That means cutting off the funding that fuels this hate. It’s time to end the hypocrisy of those who accumulate wealth through the global economy, and then siphon funds to those who teach children to tear it down.
That means contesting the space that terrorists occupy – including the Internet and social media. Their propaganda has coerced young people to travel abroad to fight their wars, and turned students into suicide bombers. We must offer an alternative vision.
That means bringing people of different faiths together. All religions have been attacked by extremists from within at some point, and all people of faith have a responsibility to lift up the value at the heart of all religion: do unto thy neighbor as you would have done unto you."
Record Beheadings and the Mass Arrest of Christians – Is it ISIS? No it’s Saudi Arabia
In the past month, a group of radical Islamic extremists based in the Middle East beheaded at least 23 people and enforced a ban on Christianity by arresting a group of people for practicing the faith in a private home.
No, I’m not talking about ISIS. The real culprit is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the America’s closest global allies.
