http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/columnists/holly_robichaud
One of our distinguished Massachusetts U.S. senators, Daniel Webster, once
said, “There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our
overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from the
inattention of the people to the concerns of their government.”
While people are more concerned with the latest binge-worthy television show
or the newest game on their iPad, are they missing the destruction of the
United States?
How would you do it from within?
The first step would be to jeopardize the country’s financial stability.
Increasing the national debt by $7 trillion is a good starting point, and
letting the debt keep growing until it overtakes the country’s gross
national product is the death knell.
Another way to unbalance our finances is to encourage everyone to become
dependent on government handouts instead of being self-
sufficient.
When takers outnumber taxpayers, the system will collapse.
The second step would be to destroy U.S. credibility abroad. Spying on our
friends doesn’t help our relationships.
Notifying our enemies of a date certain for withdrawing our troops, such as
we did in Iraq, is not a policy of strength. In the television series “Game
of Thrones,” it would be, let’s say politely, a career-ender.
Trading five Taliban prisoners for one soldier who walked away from his post
is the worst negotiating ever. Putting it into sports terms, that’s like
the Red Sox trading five great players to the Yankees for a benchwarmer.
However, the sports trade doesn’t have potentially deadly consequences
attached.
Another step would be to toss out our governing principles. Ignoring our
Constitution along with the two other equal branches of government
destabilizes the fabric of our society. Changing laws by executive fiat
rather than the legislative process undermines our democracy. Our Founding
Fathers wrote the Constitution so no one person could dictate. The document
empowers the branches of government so there are checks and balances.
Without them, we become a dictatorship.
Lastly, you would neglect one of the basic principles: protect the people.
Thomas Jefferson said, “A nation without borders is no nation.” Allowing
people from other countries to hop, skip and jump over the border is a
nonviolent invasion.
A century and a half after Daniel Webster, President Obama is showing us
what the senator was talking about. Step by step, his actions are
threatening the fundamental stability of our nation. He is demonstrating
exactly how to destroy America from within. | B********n
