This is not the product of idiocy but of ideology.

This is a result desired by Obama's ideology.

I agree. Obama is not incompetent. He is accomplishing exactly what he set out to do.

Our foolish side keeps underestimating our enemy -declaring they’re idiots.

It’s quite the contrary, all their moves are by design with ulterior motives contrary to American interest -It is the Obama ideology.

True. It furthers both the weakening of the US and the strengthening of our enemies.

Obama and Hillary are America hating marxists, always have been, and always will be.

True; it is a product of ideology.

On one level, I agree it is not idiocy. It is deliberate, and as another FReeper observed, it is not incompetence.

But on another level, I go back and forth on this.... can’t someone do something stupid competently?

I think embracing socialism is stupid, since one has to give up freedom, yet self-described socialists often have high IQs.

I think it’s possible to do a very competent job of strapping on a suicide vest and successfully blowing one’s self up (along with many others).

I suppose you could argue that many who claim to embrace a destructive ideology such as Sharia law are not themselves stupid enough to submit to it - they plan to exclude themselves from the negative consequences and reap the benifits of the dominant side of the equation.

I would argue that for someone like Obama, socialism is not the true ideology that motivates him, but rather the lie he tells to accumulate power over others. In that sense he is not stupid, and neither is the con man who uses his wit to fleece people.

Then, I find myself wondering whether there is indeed some sort of idiocy involved in choosing an evil path, in thinking one can continue to escape the consequences of taking the devil’s bargain.

As usual, a very thought-provoking post from Nathanbedford.

I don’t see it. Cold War attitudes die hard. The globalists absolutely do not want the BRICS development bank to succeed. The Philippines are going to become a partner of BRICS and this is a loss to the globalist fascist IMF and World Banks, hated in the developing world. Southeast Asia will follow and then Japan and Australia and New Zealand. BANKS, BANKERS, BANKING is what needs to be on the other side of the scope reticle.

Disagree completely. This is the consequence of dropping a monkey wrench into a set of gears. Before he became a US Senator, Obama couldn't properly operate a credit card. His finances were a mess and he was deep in debt. Had he not won that Illinois Senate seat, he would have been on the street in a few months.

Did you see that housing project this "community organizer" managed? Utterly bumbled in every conceivable way.

The man is a jive talking simpleton who destroys things because he lacks the intelligence to do otherwise. But for the media promoting this unaccomplished jackass we would have never heard of him.
