Divide America into a bunch of smaller brawling parties, easier to control than a “United” 50 state union.
Its Obamas strategy all along, divide the US, no matter what it takes, totally opposite of what Sarah Palin can see for our future.
Adapted from a lecture delivered at Hillsdale College on February 1, 2010, during a four-day conference on The New Deal, co-sponsored by the Center for Constructive Alternatives and the Ludwig von Mises Lecture Series.
EXCERPT Unlike most Americans, President Obama still bristles at any suggestion that our nation is better or even luckier than other nations. To be blunt, he despises the notion that Americans consider themselves special among the peoples of the world. This strikes him as the worst sort of ignorance and ethnocentrism, which is why it was so difficult for him to decide to wear an American flag lapel pin when he started running for president, even though he knew it was political suicide to refuse wearing it.
As President Obama hinted in his Berlin speech during the campaign, he really thinks of himself as a multiculturalist, as a citizen of the world, first, and only incidentally as an American. To put it differently, he regards patriotism as morally and intellectually inferior to cosmopolitanism.
And, of course, he is never so much a citizen of the world as when defending the worlds environment against mankinds depredations, and perhaps especially Americas depredations.
In general, the emotionalist defense of the earththink of Al Goreis now a vital part of the liberalism of our day. Its a kind of substitute for earlier liberals belief in progress.
Although his own electionand secondarily liberalisms achievements over the past century or sohelp to redeem America in his view, Obama remains, in many ways, profoundly disconnected from his own land.
