Rashomon: A Different View

There are some things that even I, a no-name blogger, can not write. Suffice it to say that something is about to happen. The Left is desperate - beyond idly wishing that Sarah Palin had been on that plane that crashed in Alaska, taking the lives of all on board, including former U.S. Senator, Ted Stevens.

What the recent Gibbs ‘gaffe’ shows is that the Obama administration is not beholden to either the Left or the Right. For months now they’ve been poking and prodding the Right, trying to paint them as violent anti-government activists. It has not worked. The Tea Parties have behaved themselves.

As I said, the administration is desperate to start something. All it’s efforts so far have come to naught. But lately, they’ve begun to take a different tack: They’ve started poking the Left. In the administration’s view, the Left is boiling, and much more susceptible to erupt into violence. Violence is the only element still missing for the administration to cement its hold on America.

It may happen before midterms or after. Certainly within the next two years something will occur to cause the government to lock down America, cancel elections and declare itself the sole arbiter of affairs.

Gibbs did not make his remarks without Obama’s approval. Obama knows what he’s doing. He’s prodding the Left to action.

The Nuclear Option: Destroying Both Camps

Gibbs is in a difficult position. And what’s worse, he knows it. He knows the administration, as a political entity, is becoming unraveled. Not he (Gibbs), nor the president can stop the unraveling. It has become a lost cause to attempt to maintain the trappings of a democracy.

The people have discovered that ‘progressivism’ is just another word for what used to be called ‘communism’ and they want no part of it. Re-defining terms has been a hallmark of this administration and of the movement it represents. It has become all too clear that the ‘Big Lie’ is being exposed. Gibbs trips. He intends to hide the ‘Big Lie’ behind an even bigger one - and nobody’s buying.

The president has managed to destroy both camps. Progressives are so eager to come out of the closet, they’ve all but punched through the doors. Conservatives, arrogant as always, can finally see - beyond their own noses - what’s lurking inside.

This is not good news for a president who needs the support of at least one political faction. Fortunately, when they made Obama, they broke the mold. He is totally disinterested in politics as usual. In fact, he distains it. What is still unclear is whether he personally means to cling to power in perpetuity, or whether he is prepared to subordinate his own ego to the Cause. If the latter, he will hand off to Hillary Clinton; if the former, he will declare himself dictator for life.
