Meaningless Stammering


The failure of being able to entertain conspiracy theories or, at the very least, establish intent, is reflective of an unwillingness to connect the dots. Beyond this, it demonstrates a reluctance to ask 'why'. 'Why', if used properly, remains a useful tool in attempting to reconcile differences and paradox. It invariably opens up a higher dimension; one, in which it then becomes possible to explain what appears to be a series of seemingly incongruous events. Why, for example, does the Left consistently oppose any strengthening of our energy infrastructure while at the same time decrying the high cost of energy and the foreign entanglements that result? The answer becomes obvious when you ask 'why.' You are now forced to confront the possibility that it's neither about energy nor foreign policy. It's all about curbing America's bite; America's influence which it regards as somehow threatening, polluting and evil. Why is the Left so adamant in its opposition to religion while at the same time promoting its own religion, Marxism, with a fervor that puts Islamists to shame? It’s because it’s not about religion; it’s about power. Why does the Left seek to curb the power of the U.S. while at the same time amassing power for itself? It’s because to the Left the U.S. means nothing. The Left’s vision is global. It can well afford to sacrifice one country (or a couple) to achieve its goal of global justice (as they would put it in press releases) which actually translates into nothing less theatrical than global dominance.

Spence, if you should happen to read this, I do understand your skepticism. No one wants to believe that there’s an elephant in the room dirtying up the place and smashing things; most would find it disgusting to see the emperor naked. There’s still such overwhelming confidence in America throughout the world. Even our enemies have come to find comfort in knowing that America will always be there to blame things on.

(I hadn’t intended to run on like this.) There is now enough evidence that Obama doesn’t like America and the Americans who elected him. Everything he does (now without opposition) must be seen through this lens. Otherwise specter of sheer incompetence darkens the landscape in the form of a flock of black swans for which any explanation trails off into meaningless stammering.
