What happens next? Dip our flag at the Olympics?

I saw in the news today that President Obama bowed below the level of the Japanese Emperor and lowered his eyes, which is a clear sign of subservience in any Asian culture. What?!?!

Okay, so it is an Emperor. Not like it’s a prime minister or anything, right? Wrong! The leaders of this country have always been respectful but never subservient! This isn’t about race; this isn’t about respect for elders. This is about being, or at least appearing, subservient to a foreign figure.

I remember a time in the not too distant past when the nation would be on edge at the remote possibility that a “rebel” Olympic athlete might dip the U.S. flag when passing in front of the Olympic committee during opening ceremonies. Now we have the President bowing subserviently to the leader of another country. Did his handler miss the memo? Is he that stupid? Does America even care? The results in an opinion poll are mixed but it seems many people are blasé about it. To paraphrase, ‘It’s the same old thing, what an idiot.’ Or ‘He is only being respectful. The U.S. President shouldn’t put himself above others.’ He should, however, at least consider himself equal.

I’m trying to think here… he wasn’t sure of the protocol about putting his hand over his heart during the singing of the national anthem before he was elected. He is bowing subserviently to the emperor of Japan. He is creating offices and putting people in them. He is printing money so fast it will be more worthless than the Zimbabwe currency in another year. He is bringing a catalyst for terrorism to New York for a “fair” trial.

I will freely admit that I’ve been out of touch for several years because politics pissed me off but I would have never guessed, even last year, that we would be on this path to destruction so quickly.

More and more people are looking at the current administration as a call to action. It is time to bring the country back. We must all do what we can, at every election, not just the federal level, to make sure we are putting the people that represent "we, the people," in office. We need to remove the political officers at all levels if they ignore the people they are supposed to represent and put laws in place because they think they know what their constituents need. They are not supposed to be “in power” they are supposed to represent.

Let’s get the idiots out and the representatives in, every chance we get!
