{{cquote|In 1988, he was [[Michael Dukakis]]'s chief economic advisor, but when that campaign failed to bring Summers to power, he turned to America's great rival, the former [[Soviet Union]], to try out his economic experiments.

The results were literally suicidal: in 1990, when Summers first arrived, Lithuania's suicide rate was 26.1 per 100,000 and falling. Just five years after Summers got his hands on Lithuania's economy, life became so unbearable under the economic transition that the suicide rate nearly doubled to 45.6 per 100,000, worse than any other ex-Soviet republic in transition. In fact, it was the highest suicide rate in the world, suggesting something particularly harsh and brutal about the economic transition in that country as opposed to the others, where suffering and pain were common. Things got so bad that in 1992, after just two years of Summers-nomics, the traumatized Lithuanians voted the [[communism|communist]] party back into power, the first East European nation to do so--even though just a year earlier Lithuanians actually died on the streets fighting [[communism]].

The [[tradition|traditions]] of America are less meaningful to those who do not experience [[American exceptionalism]], especially when growing up, as children, as a positive environmental influence on those who surround themselves with these patriotic values. These are values which inspire a love for country, and develops a patriotism which become instilled in Americans as they grow to become young adults. America's traditions and values are taught to young Americans through family experiences and in education as they grow from children to adults. A good example of past time patriotism in public education was seen in the once great tradition of children learning the [[pledge of allegiance]] and love of country in a classroom environment. As progressives gained more power, the pledge of allegiance and the [[American Flag]] was removed from the classroom and replaced with democratic thought.

Still today, as children grow to become adults, experiences of their environment become less influential on their daily lives and on the development of human character as they grow older. Those who miss out on the opportunity to grow up in America ultimately lack the American values that created the greatest nation on earth. This lack of patriotism due to these variables are most visibly seen through the character of Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Obama never experienced the greatness of America's traditions when growing up as a child. Starting at the young age of 6, Obama attended a Catholic school in [[Indonesia]]. At age 8, he attended a public school in Indonesia, nominally a [[Muslim]] school. At age 10, Obama left his mother and Muslim stepfather behind in Indonesia, moving to [[Honolulu]] to live with his Mom's parents. During the first and most crucial years for a child when growing up, which are the years of a child's life when environmental influences are most profound, Obama didn't learn what it meant to be an American with values that coincide with American exceptionalism; Obama became inspired by Muslim values, and his character developed along with the cultural experiences he learned to love in Indonesia.

The [[Boy Scouts of America]] is an example of a great tradition in America for over 100 years. The scout Oath, for instance, reads: "'''On my honor, I will do my best: To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the [[Boy_Scouts_of_America#The_Scout_Oath_.26_Law|Scout Law]], To help other people at all times. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.'''" Although the Scout Oath is a symbol of patriotic spirit in America, for a progressive person who may have grown up with Muslim values in Indonesia, the scout Oath sounds like nothing more than imperialist oppression with a lack of social justice. Intrinsic values of the Boy Scouts of America and the general character of American citizens who love their country does not coincide with values of those who are outsiders to America and have learned from experiences that do not match American exceptionalism. Barack Hussein Obama's distaste for the Boy Scouts can be seen in his lack of interest to take part in one of the greatest traditions of scouting: the Boy Scouts' National Jamboree, which in 2010 marked the group's 100th anniversary.

The Jamboree kicked off celebration at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where organizers had invited the president to speak to the 45,000 scouts in attendance. All three of Obama's predecessors have made it to one Jamboree while in office, which is an opportunity that only arises once every four years.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/27/obama-missing-historic-boy-scout-jamboree-fundraisers-view-taping/</ref><ref>http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_072810/content/01125108.guest.html</ref> Instead of attending the event to honor the Boy Scouts of America, Barack Obama snubbed the scouts and opted to go to New York for a taping of the [[ABC News|ABC show]], as well as Democratic fundraisers and a stop in New Jersey. The White House said that the fundraisers, not the TV appearance, prevented the president from attending. After all, honoring America's traditions and past-time are a waste if Obama does not get paid to do so, and the values of the Boy Scouts do not match Obama's Muslin faith and socialist political philosophy.

This is just more proof of how the liberal elite live these extravagant lives and are not in touch with us common people. We do all the hard work of fighting wars and building up this country, while they enjoy the fruits of our labor and control all the wealth.

My stomach churns with disgust because of these types of liberal antics and disregard for human life. For just about $5 a day, you can feed a starving child in Africa.
