Your analysis is brilliant. The truth is, Obama is alien to even the most basic fundamentals of freedom that have traditionally made our country great. Simply put, he is not one of us — or more correctly: he is not one of those of us who still share the essential values that made America great.
And thereby lies the rub — and, in fact, the great, and far more frightening, truth. Obama, you see, has correctly figured out that the factions that will return him to the White House have very little knowledge of, let alone respect for, the moral imperatives that once made America great.
His constituency is made up of the ne’er-do-wells, the cavilers, the profligates, the lazy, the lethargic, and the promiscuous. Tattooed, body-pierced, unbathed, and disease ridden, they scoff at those who value hard work, virtue, decency, dignity, a daily shower, and a bar of soap.
They are deeply offended by someone like Sarah Palin, who commits what to them is the goody-goody transgression of sleeping only with her own husband. And a sissified Tim Tebow who clings to his antiquated virginity is to them, quite simplt repulsive. Give them the Kardashians and Bobby Browns any day of the week. Now, they really know how to live!
Unfortunately, we now live in Barack Obama’s America. If you doubt that for one single, solitary second, just turn on the TV. Or the radio. Eavesdrop on the conversation of the folks under 40 sitting next to you at the local diner. Or, ask the next ten pregnant women you run into if they are married.
You are entirely correct: Barack Obama is engaging in repugnant and destructive factionalism. And, tragically, in America today, those two terms also describe his rapidly growing faction.
I would disagree with the “rapidly growing faction” part.
The people I meet, even here in deep-indigo Massachusetts, are much more conservative than they get credit for. Those who received an actual education in school seem to “get it” that the country is in a tailspin.
There is a Silent Majority and they are furious. Oppressive taxes, stifling regulations, widespread immoral behavior and a ridiculous foreign policy (just to name a few of the current outrages) ... all are feeding the fire.
