OUR NATIONAL SECURITY PERIL: Obama Shirks His Responsibilities

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

We all know where this story begins, with the Administration's open attack on agents of the Central Intelligence Agency and other national security branches who have been charged with gathering international and domestic information pertinent to the security of our country. Where it has led is not only frightening, but repugnant as well; today, our borders are wide open, our allies are sharing less information with us, we are allowing those who threaten our civil rights to vote be immune from prosecution, we are fomenting hatred among radical groups, we are fanning the flames of racial and religious discrimination and we continue to keep our ports, borders and airways wide open to terrorists. We are wide open to attack both from abroad and from within.

The fact is, thousands of illegal aliens other than Mexicans cross our southern border from countries that sponsor terrorism, and it has been deliberately concealed and covered over by our government.  Let me repeat this: thousands of illegal aliens other than Mexicans cross our southern border from countries that sponsor terrorism and our government is not only doing nothing about it, but is choosing to cover it up. A Phoenix facility holds illegal border crossers from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and who knows where else?

Congress knows it. The President knows it.  It leaked out in the press a few weeks ago and the story got promptly snuffed. Our President, bowing to indignation and pressure from Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer over the illegal immigration issue, decided to handle the situation by sending 1,200 troops to cover the California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas borders with Mexico.

Now, one must ask, how many more terrorists are sneaking in from Canada? As crewmen on shipping vessels? Or, as passengers on international flights… the ones we don’t catch… with the morale among TSA agents running at low ebbs? When a state, inundated by violent crime, kidnappings and murder, takes it upon itself to try and force the Government to enforce its own laws, why does this Administration choose to display indignation and to bring suit?

How many of these terrorists who are now here in our country are hiding out in mosques? How many of them are being unwittingly harbored by “sanctuary cities?” Are they in your neighborhood? Do they carry poison for your water system, materials to start forest fires, bombs? Are they recruiting the kid next door to be a member?

The plain truth is that this President, by his abject failure to exercise his duties, has exposed our country to a far greater risk of attack, both externally and internally than we have ever faced in our entire 234 years as a nation. And the obvious fact that he knows what he is doing should lead to only one of two conclusions: He either shares their desire to bring down this country or he is the dumbest President to ever occupy the office.

In reading this, you have become aware of what is happening to our national security. You may doubt what I have alleged and you may think that America is too safe with all of its history and military might to be concerned about such dangers. I urge you not to dismiss it, but to research it for yourselves.

For the sake of our country and our children, we cannot allow ourselves to be at blame for the failure to secure our country when our government will not.
