Sympathy for the Devil

Blaming Obama is a popular pastime around here. Around my keyboard, that is. Yes, he’s a Marxist, no he’s never accomplished anything, and maybe his anti-Americanism is manifest, but perhaps it’s merely latent. His economics are disastrous and unyielding, his foreign policy is disastrous and always yielding, and he either does not understand how to protect America or does not care to do so. His obsequious bowing and kowtowing will be remembered long after his “historic” status is forgotten.  Someday a black President who doesn’t hate blacks will be elected by Americans who don’t hate America. He is nothing.

[pullquote]America deserves Obama.[/pullquote]The real problem is America itself, and we fool ourselves by thinking that electing a majority here, taking the executive chair there, or installing judges or justices at various benches is going to solve anything. America is destroying itself, and right now, all we can do is play for time. If we can create a window of opportunity, then we may have a chance to save the country. But the next election, while critical for us not to lose, is not nearly so useful a win. If we won every election for every seat in every branch and made every appointment for the next twenty years, it would not put America back together again.

The problem is that Americans have become worthy of dictatorship, and have brought it about. So don’t blame the tyrant. He’s doing what he was elected to do by an uninformed and anti-American electorate, many of whom are too ignorant to know what it means to be an American.

Elected.
