Lincoln school rules reflect Obama's world philosophy

  The recent brouhaha about some ridiculous rules sent home to grade children by some misguided guidance counselor/s perfectly exemplify what's wrong with the Obama foreign policy.
  The rules relevant for our discussion from a Lincoln, Nebraska, elementary school--now deleted along with an apology for having issued them in the first place--are as follows:
1. Refuse to get mad.Anger is a feeling we have toward our enemies, not our buddies. When you get angry, you are treating them like an enemy..... 
2. Treat the person who is being mean as if they are trying to help you. No matter how insulting or mean they are, be grateful and think they really care about you......
3. Do not be afraid. Fear is something we feel toward enemies, not buddies. When you are afraid, you are treating the bully like an enemy.....
4. Do not verbally defend yourself. We defend ourselves from enemies, so we are treating the other person as an enemy, not a friend.
5. Do not attack. We attack enemies, not friends. If I attack you back, I am treating you like an enemy, so the bully will treat you in return like an enemy. It takes two people to fight, so it's the person who retaliates or responds, who actually starts the fight.
6. If someone physically hurts you, just show you are hurt. Do not get angry.
7. Do not tell on bullies. The number one reason bullies hate their victims, is because the victims tell on them. Telling makes the bully want to retaliate. Tell an adult only when a real injury or crime (theft of something valuable) has occurred. Would we keep our friends if we tattled on them?
8. Don't be a sore loser. No one likes a sore loser. Would you like to play with someone who gets all upset when they lose? Lose gracefully and be a good sport; kids will like you better.
9. Learn to laugh at yourself and not get "hooked" by putdowns. Make a joke out of it or agree with the putdown. "If you think I'm ugly, you should see my sister."....."If you think I look like a nerd, you should see my dad."
   This utterly lame philosophy encapsulates several Obamanian foreign policy behaviors.
  Obama refuses to get angry about anything Islamist terrorists or the Putins of the world do, including murdering our people in Benghazi, profaning our embassies or invading democratic countries previously freed from dictatorships.
  (He does, however, get angry at perceived slights within "his" own country, such as when anyone challenges his opinions on health care or anything else he's decided he wants to be legal without legislation.)
  His foreign policy hinges on his self-perceived international likeability and persuasive abilities. 
  Everyone overseas, to Obama, is a "friend," a "buddy," and everyone who disagrees with him at home is an "enemy." In fact, he's eager to "punish [his] enemies.
  Obama's people seem to be so unafraid of the evil people of the world that they take lightly the threat of evil intent.
  Meanwhile Obama's people stand silently by while so many criminals are becoming overconfident, more actively encroaching on the rights of people who mean to be free.
  Thus the jocular attitude toward Putin and even Iranian leaders; thus, the qualification that, though he will sign Ted Cruz's bill to keep out a criminal as a UN ambassador, Obama signals to the world only that the "selection is not viable."
  White House Dossier has a word about that:
Now, notice the careful language used by this craven administration Friday, which wants nothing, absolutely nothing, to interfere with its ability to suck up to Iran and complete a nuclear deal: [SNIP]
Not viable. Get it? All they’re telling the Iranians is that Congress and the American people won’t accept this choice. They’re pointedly not saying, as you may have read, that this person is unacceptable.
Just that he’s NOT VIABLE. You know, like the deal Obama is trying to strike with Iran . . .
  Let's also not forget to mention that when he signed this law, Obama made sure to announce that he was signing it as "advisory" only, and that he had to defend his "constitutional turf" against Congress telling him what to do, apparently completely unabashed that he routinely usurps legislative authority, particularly with his constant revisions of Obamacare.
  It's pretty obvious at this point that Obama's sympathies lie not with the American people, but with Islamic countries. I don't think that's even arguable, given the invective Obama has spread against his own people and the leniency and sympathy he has shown toward criminals both here and abroad.
  What's remarkable is that he has so quickly established a common culture of offensive passivity among professionals around the country, including such ill advised guidelines as this one issued to the parents of fifth grade children.
  Even if the school administration couldn't see the legal implications of encouraging students to not tell on abusive children, you'd think for compassionate reasons alone, they'd want to know about students being mistreated.
  This is at the center of Obama's philosophy, too, of ignoring real world consequences for bad policy.
  These people live in a fantasy world, one that manufactures good cheer where there is none and treats evil as if does not exist. 
  If we could only be friends--buddies-- you wouldn't want to kill me then. Right? 
  It's not like you'd be inclined to behave in a 19th or 20th century fashion in this, the 21st century, after all. Right?
  Unlike a school board, Obama and his people are rarely held accountable by anyone except the conservative media and blogosphere, though there are some breaks in that dam wall
  Obama, the American people and the world may have to learn the hard way that there's a rationale behind speaking softly while carrying a big stick.
