Abusing Patriotism


 Barack Obama

For years, former U.S. President, George W. Bush, abused the nation's patriotism, playing on the public's sympathy in this regard, to engage in very vile conduct that damaged many in America and the world. Whenever he was caught engaging in wrongdoing, he would simply pull the patriotism card and then go right back to the misconduct.

True patriotism is doing the right thing and upholding justice and decency, especially when the honorable route is the road less traveled. President Obama is walking down a dangerous road that has seen him compromising morals and reneging on campaign promises regarding transparency and honesty. It starts with little lies that evolve into big ones and before one knows it, one's name is gone in world history.
