Veterans, Oath Keepers, and
protesting citizens in Washington, DC dismantled the barriers set up
around the WWII Memorial and carried them to the White House (some with
signs reading "return to sender"). And they chanted, 'Tear down those walls!"
How beautiful!
Yes, Mr.
Obama, you are being likened to Mikhail Gorbachev, to whom President
Reagan famously said, while standing at the Brandenburg Gates in
Berlin, "
Mr. Gorbachev,
tear down those walls
."It is ironic, at the very least, that the
President who promised the most open administration in U.S. history,
has been likened to the closed society of the old Soviet Union. The
'walls' Pres. Obama had erected at the WWII Memorial, and many others,
preventing We the People from paying our respects to our fallen heroes,
who fought and died to preserve the liberty promised by the Declaration
of Independence and our beloved Constitution, show him a fitting figure
of repression, secrecy and wall-building that brings to mind by the
sight of the Berlin Wall.
Despite his rhetoric, the truth of
the matter is that Pres. Obama's administration has been one of the
most closed administrations in our history. Saying a thing is so, does
not make it so, if the facts say otherwise. His secret courts,
renditions, assassinations, and spying on Americans show the facts
belie his rhetoric.
