Letter: Liberalism breeds poor leadership

The Columbian
Published: February 14, 2015, 12:00am

Perhaps Barack Obama doesn’t like the title “Leader of the Free World,” but that is part of the job when you become President of the United States. Everything this man does is to further his extreme views of liberalism. I think he believes this will be his legacy. He will not lead the world. He cannot lead a nation. Campaigning, golf, drivel and lies. If this is the new norm, then I thank God I switched to conservatism.

Now, if the Republicans would just stop fighting. Find your hearts again, stick up for what you believe in. Freedom and constitution. No more pacifists. Truth will come naturally to the honorable men and women. We need to move America forward. Jobs, jobs and more jobs will help pay for what is needed, without constricting the country with more taxes and debt. We are taxed to the hilt and $18 trillion in debt. This is liberalism.

Stick up for Israel democrats and the children of the Middle East. Stop the political games. If you lose the world, we lose our country. Stop Islamic terrorism. ISIS is more than a JV team.
