The Lone Libertarian

First and foremost, I find it highly curious and offensive that Obama was campaigning in Germany yesterday.  Unless Germany is going to become the 51st state, I see his visit as a threat to the soverignty of our nation.

Let me explain.  Ever since the Iraq war started, liberal-minded people have started to use “America’s image” as a reason to vote for Democrats.  To “restore the image” of the republic, in my opinion is an assinine objective, however many Americans have taken this issue to heart.

Obama’s visit to Berlin was clearly to display “world support” for him as a candidate for office.  I for one don’t want someone representing others opinions and values representing me.  I think this is a dangerous push into a globalized governing body, or at least a flirtation with the notion.  I’d rather not look to the Germans for support for a leader they cannot elect.

How quaint it was to see him give his speech in front of the Victory Column, a tribute to war.  It should also be known that the Victory Column was the inspiration for “sieg heil”, translation “hail victory.”  The Nazi salute of raising the arm and pointing upward is a salute to Lady Victory, whom sits atop the structure.

So the “anti-war” candidate gives a speech in front of a monument that was built to mock Europeans in the 1860’s and 1870’s when the Prussians decimated the Danish, Austrians, and the French.  The wars were nothing more than overglorified land grabs and expansionism.

Is this an omen?
