A Culture of Incompetence
American Thinker ^ | October 6, 2014 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 10/06/2014 3:30:26 PM PDT by right-wing agnostic

Obama’s left never accepts responsibility for anything. Weaned on the sour milk of thuggish, tenured academicians and marinated in the surreal stew of lawyer-land, the odd creatures that infest our White House have no notion of work or honor or duty. This manifests itself in different ways.

Mendacity has been elevated almost to a secular religion. Obama, his officials, his armies of minor minions prevaricate with such aplomb that one wonders if they truly know when they are lying or telling the truth. The disgraceful trail of obfuscations, dissimulations, and quarter-truths are invariably defended by the administration’s flacks with the mantra “we have seen no evidence.” Of course we have not! The evidence has been destroyed or hidden or lied about.

Politicians lie, of course, and have as long as government has been around, but the sheer audacity of fabrications (the video that “caused” the Benghazi attack) rise to the level of Orwellian thought control, compounded by the utter indifference of the establishment media to calling out these lies.

Profound isolation from the governed is also a hallmark of our pathetic president and his hapless helpers. How could Obama, with a straight face, adopt Reagan’s “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” line and assume that ordinary folk would yip for joy?

Everything currently is so unstable, I can’t begin to imagine how to stop the tide.

barry = instability worldwide

“barry = instability worldwide” — totally. He has a lot of blood on his hands.

The “munchkin Metternichs” I saw them called the other day. I wish I could remember who wrote that, but I can’t.

It was a WSJ article. I read it too and thought the description to be perfect.

Who Really Lost Iraq?

No matter what Obama says - he owns every problem created during his presidency.

It could be worse: they could have opened the door to a third term by electing Romney.

I believe we just can not give up or go Galt (at least on our youth). Here is my reasoning: I work with teens at Church teaching Confirmation. There are a lot of great hard working kids out there. I believe their sense of mercy and justice is better than my generation in the 60’s. However (and I tell this to them), they are a “take it for granted” generation in that they expect things that are available now (freedom, clean water, iPods, etc.) will always be available. So I gently try and inform, make them question the common assumptions and hold their Christian heritage as a true blessing. When I think of all those that have come before our generation and sacrificed to grant us the blessings we live with now, I can only look at our youth and try and do the same. I will never abandon them. I know it is tough but in my heart, I can do no other thing. God bless.

Limited choices, yes. In foreign policy i don’t believe there is or will be much difference.

The Frankenstein quilt-work of his presidency, a haphazard glop of minor disasters and serial deceptions, has now become a true monster. As Prime Minister Netanyahu has tried to tell him, a nuclear Iran may mean our end, or at least great cities in radioactive smolders. As doctors have doubtless told him privately, pandemics can slaughter huge chunks of mankind and dissolve civilization. As even a Democrat stalwart like Panetta seems to have told him, radical Islam on the march is another world war.

And so, thanks to the efforts of the Obama administration, we stand on the verge of nuclear annihilation, a worldwide pandemic and the ultimate triumph of radical Islam.

Does it occur to anyone that such malignancy is not the accidental result of incompetence, but quite intentional?

No worries. You see, Russia is keeping an eye on iran’s nuclear program. Just pray it won’t fall into ISIS’s hand because they will actually use it.

Why is the word “incompetence” used when it could be a matter of his intention to cooperate with ISIS?

After all, didn’t he say that he would stand with Islam and isn’t ISIS Islam?

Cowards are behind “ the puppet obama”. Enacting their agenda of destruction while hiding behind a failed child speaks volumes of how poorly conceived their plans are. They are unleashing a maelstrom that their arrogance blinded them from seeing.
They will be consumed by the fires that they ignited.

Yes, “intention” is: S. Arabia+Qatar+other Gulf states+oil=ISIS; a deep bow to Saudi tribe king, deliberate chaos, genocide in the M.E. & N. Africa. & a lot of diversion & disinformation to tell us it isn’t so!

I agree Shark, never giving up, this I know for a fact.

God bless you for the work you are doing, I have doubt you have impacted those children far more than you may realize currently. And yes, our generation is a disaster, it’s embaressing.

Thanks for this thread.

Now he needs to write the companion article about incompetence on the part of Congressional Republicans who have chosen not to hold the incompetent Democrats accountable for their actions.
