No Compromise

>"POTUS does not believe in nukes as a weapon."

Wrong! How is it possible not to believe!? POTUS believes in nukes alright, but he sees nukes it in terms of weapons to be used AGAINST AMERICA! Naturally, he does not want America to have nukes. America can hardly be persuaded to use its nukes against itself. By extension, therefore - in Obams’s mind - nukes are useless in America's hands.

It is clear that many in America have not yet figured out where we are headed with this president. We have only partially completed the jigsaw puzzle that is Obama’s enigma. We think that we have a pretty good idea what the final picture will look like. Yet some of the pieces are still missing. No matter how hard we try, the remaining puzzle pieces just don't seem to fit. The reason is because our assumptions about the competed picture don’t match the president’s.

It is easier for us to believe that the puzzle is somehow flawed; that we must return it to the store. It is easier for us to come up with excuses to ignore what the puzzle really shows: That this president does NOT have our best interests in mind. We sense trouble, but hope that in time the president will come to recognize it too, and change course. Maybe, we feel, it’s not up to us. This, after all, is what we elect a president for.

The tea partiers get it. They know we are the ones who are in danger. But it’s still not enough. That sense of doom churning in the pit of our stomachs speaks of something much more immediate than danger: We are being stalked. We are the target!

I just heard a speech by Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky at the 2010 Left Forum held a few days ago at Pace University in which they made reference to some of this. From what I can gather, their positions are in stark contrast to our own; and, as such, it sets the stage for a conflict that cannot be resolved. Compromise is not possible. Neither is it possible to defeat the base sentiment that America is inherently evil. This is an idea that bullets will never convince. What is the answer? Are we to suffer an endless war of attrition?


Here in America, we thought we'd solved everything by electing an avowed Marxist president. We didn't think he was a Marxist, though we might have suspected as much by his friends and affiliations. No, we only saw his skin color. We sought to slay the race demon for once and for all. Now we know better. If given even half a chance, we will not repeat the same mistake again.
