America: 'Persona non grata'

Are we persona non grata? As it applies to America and its citizens? It seems that we are more and more unwelcome around the world. What happened? I thought with the new leadership of hope and change? That America would be loved once again.

Apparently not.

Pakistani court blocks release of American

A Pakistani court ordered the government Tuesday not to release an American official arrested in the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis despite U.S. insistence that he has diplomatic immunity and has been detained illegally.

Lahore High Court Chief Justice Ijaz Chaudhry also told the government to place the American on the "exit control list" so that he cannot leave the country. Some legal experts questioned whether the court had the authority to issue such orders, but the rulings could further complicate what has become a serious diplomatic spat between the two countries.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad has argued that the American, who it has not named, acted in self-defense when he shot the two men in Lahore last Thursday because they were trying to rob him at gunpoint. It has issued several statements insisting he has diplomatic immunity and demanding he be released.

For those who may remember, we were told for eight years how the world hated us because of George Bush and his "cowboy" antics of unilateral wars. Pelosi and Reid and the entire troop of so called Hollywood celebrities, civil rights leaders and others. They all spat the same meme daily for eight years.

They reminded us of what it was like to not be loved and not be embraced by the world. They told us of how we were hated and despised by the world. They knew the cause of the problem and they knew the only solution and the only answer to our salvation.

America must elect a more globally embraceable leader. Someone like Barack Obama. Someone capable of demonstrating leadership and compassion and likability.  At least that is what we were told by the democrats and their pliable media.

Well now, it is two years into this administration of hope and change and so far? It doesn't look like the Malaysian raised and radically educated community organizer from Chi town has been able to get the love flowing for America again. And you might think that after all that bowing and scraping and contrition and apology?  That the world would once again love us.

Enter onto the stage the current situation in Pakistan involving the imprisoned American diplomat. It would appear that the international understanding of diplomatic intercourse as it concerns the treatment of diplomats, (also known as 'persona non grata,') has little to no force and effect when it comes to reciprocity between America and other nations.

Several years ago, one of the Saudi reigning royal's offspring (thrice removed), came to New York city, went bar hopping, pulled a gun and shot and killed a night club bouncer (an America citizen,) and wounded several others while in a drunken rage.

Within 72 hours, he was on a plane back to the sands of Arabia and the family of the deceased man and the injured were told, 'Sorry, he has diplomatic immunity and therefore, he cannot be held criminally liable for any offense while he is on our soil.'

Persona non grata, a throw back to the time when nations felt that their diplomats and couriers shouldn't be subjected to death or imprisonment, simply because they happened to be the bearers of bad news on behalf of their country. That protection extended across the board, up to and including espionage. And other countries have used it extensively when it came to their supposed diplomats here in America.

Fast forward to the present. Raymond Davis is being held by the Pakistanis for the crime of having defended himself against two armed robbers. The Pakistanis refusing to recognize his diplomatic immunity or the fact that he was justified in self defense. So once again it has become the reality, that not only do these other countries not recognize the conventions of war, but they do not recognize the conventions of diplomacy or the ground rules of treatment for foreign diplomats. And their socialist minions in America would have us believe that it is solely because they don't love us anymore.

So don't be surprised, if in the next few days or weeks, we see some of our own sufferers of transient political reality standing up and supporting the Pakistani position of holding this American diplomat illegally. Of course their support will be based upon their own hatred of guns and self defense and their own hatred of America ad litum. That's right, don't be surprised if you see American congressmen (or congresswomen) making public arguments in the media that this is yet another example of the need for gun control (in America).

I wonder where these people were in the days of Teddy Roosevelt and the Great White Fleet?" I am sure their great grandfathers were there, at least in minority. The difference in those days being, that their countrymen didn't provide them with either the soap boxes or the supportive legitimacy in the media that they needed to put forth their egalitarian lies and multiculturalism bovine fecal matter. As a matter of fact, Teddy Roosevelt spoke directly to the issue of those immigrating to America and what was expected of them if they came here in his day. And he sent the Great White Fleet around the world to demonstrate clearly to the rest of the world, that America indeed possessed the big stick that he had quietly spoken of.

As Egypt implodes and emerges as the new militant Islamic state in the middle east and as Tunisia and Lebanon and the others follow suit in embracing radical Islam, just remember this. These were not isolated instances or unrelated occurrences of political unrest. And if these collapses of governments in the middle east are to be attributed to the scandal of Wikileaks? Then the American people had better wake up get about understanding who was truly responsible for those leaks and why.

What we are seeing globally is not being caused by happenstance events or by chance realignments of political philosophies. What we are seeing is the fruit of the choreographed efforts of those now in power and control in Washington DC. They are in the midst of completely wrecking the geopolitical influence of America on a global scale. They are in the midst of seeing this nation disgraced and shoved to the shoulder of world events, as that is where they have longed to see America relegated for decades.


Make no mistake, Raymond Allen Davis is but a piece of dust on the political chessboard that Obama and his handlers are wagering our future on presently. But the American people need to be made aware of how Raymond Allen Davis' fate has come to pass and why. As his fate reflects directly on the lack of leadership and the omnipresent dislike and disgust that the present administration in Washington has for this nation and its people. And nations like Pakistan are governing themselves and responding accordingly to the signals that they are receiving from Washington.

Before this is over? We may very well see Raymond Allen Davis hung from a bridge and his burned and mutilated body used as the center piece of pleasure for more Islamic rage against America.

And here I was thinking that these people were just about to love us again.
WFT? Oh! Yes! Now I remember. We are 'Winning the future.'
