Obama's Post-American World

When thinking about what defines the Obama doctrine we might be tempted to say it's blaming America first or apologizing to the world for an unjust America. It would be accurate to observe that Mr. Obama has done both, but those events merely undergird Obama's larger ideological goal.

"Mr. Obama is systematically diminishing the United States, effecting its transformation from what was once called ‘the world's only superpower' to a nation subordinated to the demands of international consensus, organizations, ‘peer competitors' and even rogue states." So writes Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. in his piece "The Obama doctrine."

Gaffney is correct in concluding that President Obama's foreign policy doctrine is essentially the weakening of America in order to strengthen global governance. Of course, the left wouldn't word it quite that way. Those of the left say that they wish to bring all nations to equal standing; which means lifting others up, not tearing America down.

The President is a creature of postmodern, post-Christian thinking. He is a new kind of leftist. Barack Hussein Obama is essentially a global Marxist.

That is very true. However, one can't forget his bizarre Third-World Muslim childhood, which he has obviously decided is the defining aspect of his life. So while he's a globalist on the one hand, he's also someone whose cultural and emotional identity is actually with these dictatorial Third World hell-holes. His Marxism therefore has an even more vicious and revanchist tinge. Not only does he hate the US like any good Marxist and want to make us accept statist, Marxist principles, he hates us on a very visceral level and will not rest until he has destroyed us.

That bears repeating. Often.

I’d be willing to wager that Zer0’s muzzie school in Indonesia and his circle of Marxist, academic friends are the only two places this odd duck has ever felt at home.
