“It is in Man’s power to treat himself as a mere ‘natural object’ and his own judgements of value as raw material for scientific manipulation to alter at will. The objection to his doing so does not lie in the fact that this point of view (like one’s first day in a dissecting room) is painful and shocking till we grow used to it. . . . The real objection is that if man chooses to treat himself as raw material, raw material he will be: not raw material to be manipulated, as he fondly imagined, by himself, but by mere appetite, that is, mere Nature, in the person of his de-humanized Conditioners. . . . Either we are rational spirit obliged for ever to obey the absolute values of the Tao [natural law], or else we are mere nature to be kneaded and cut into new shapes for the pleasures of masters who must, by hypothesis, have no motive but their own ‘natural’ impulses. Only the Tao provides a common human law of action which can over-arch rulers and ruled alike. A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery. . . . The process which, if not checked, will abolish Man goes on apace among Communists and Democrats no less than among Fascists. The methods may (at first) differ in brutality. But many a mild-eyed scientist in pince-nez, many a popular dramatist, many an amateur philosopher in our midst, means in the long run just the same as the Nazi rulers of Germany.”  The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis

 President Obama has by his own pen shredded any moral authority he had to govern The United States of America and any moral leadership The United States of America had as a world leader.

“The phenomenon of child soldiers, like genocide, slavery and torture, seems like one of those crimes that no nation could legitimately defend. Yet the Obama administration just decided to leave countless kids stranded on some of the world’s bloodiest battlegrounds.”     White House Says Child Soldiers Are Ok, if They Fight Terrorists   by Michelle Chen COLORLINES MAGAZINE

Somewhere in the human, if not American Psyche, this cannot be any less than a crime against humanity.  We have to question where all the Hollywood Celebrities that cried out slogans such as “Not in My Name” when President Bush was in office?

‘The administration stunned human rights groups last month by sidestepping a commitment to help countries curb the military exploitation of children. Josh Rogin at Foreign Policy reported that President Obama issued a presidential memorandum granting waivers from the Child Soldiers Prevention Act to four countries: Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. The memo instructed Secretary of State Hilary Clinton that it is in our “national interest” to continue extending military aid to those countries, despite their failure to comply with the rules Congress passed and George W. Bush signed in 2008.”  White House Says Child Soldiers Are Ok, if They Fight Terrorists   by Michelle Chen COLORLINES MAGAZINE

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton: Famous for her progressive/socialist engineering book “It takes a Village,”   has followed President Obama’s order without question (“Befehl ist Befehl“, literally “orders are orders”) begging the question will she deploy
