Define this

It's a good thing we have a president who can tell us who we are and who we aren't. 

On Saturday, President Barack Hussein Obama (he began using his middle name only after he was first sworn in as president) urged us to remain rosy about our future after two armed black males were fatally shot by police officers which was later followed by another black gunman shooting at police officers in Dallas and killing 5 of the first responders.

President Obama said, "We cannot let the actions of a few define all of us."

I never knew that the actions of a few defined any of us until I heard the race baiters define the actions of a few police define all the police, and the president define a shooting of black men by police as racism before the facts were in.

Obama spoke two days after a black male killed five officers, insisting that race relations have not reached a new low nor regressed to the level of the 1960's race rioting. 

I agree with him--they haven't gotten that low, but Obama still has time in office to finish the job he started. No president has ever been so divisive on the issues of race and politics as he has been. It comes right out of the 'Divide and Conquer' mentality. 

People like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have made a cottage industry from racism while the media has lost their journalistic approach and has taken political sides.

Obama referred to Micah Johnson, the Dallas sniper and black Army veteran, "a demented individual" as he also referred to Muslim jihadist Omar Mateen, who killed 49 and wounded 53 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida last month.

Right. We're not demented here in America, Mr. Obama. You've got that right. 

But neither are most of the terrorists and others who kill people who are strangers to them. 

They have ideologies but we're pretending they do not exist because it may offend someone. So rather than do something that could help define our enemies and predict their future behavior, we pretend we just don't know why anyone would go out and kill people who are different from them.

"They don't speak for all of us," Obama said. "That's not who we are."

He simply cannot keep himself from defining us in his terms. He may be the president of the United States, but he is no more an American than everyone I served with in the military. In fact, I suspect his beliefs are less American than mine and yours.

Define for us who you are, not who we are, because you don't really seem to know.
