Update: And Obama's at least as divisive as he is dumb.
The Obama campaign is not accidentally divisive. It did not stumble into divisiveness. It is not even divisive as a byproduct of its real aims. Divisiveness is its aim. Divisiveness is the only way that a divisive administration can hold on to power. The anger and the violence are not an accident, they are the whole point. Set one group against another, feed the hate, massage the grievances and very soon there is no longer a nation but a handful of quarreling groups being roped into a mutual alliance to reelect their lord protector whose appeal is that of the outsider becoming the insider.
Why does Afghanistan/Pakistan spring to mind...
ReplyDeleteThe speech was much anticipated, because it was Ryan’s own ambitious plan to slash trillions in spending that roused Obama from his customary crouch in the tall grass.
ReplyDelete"Crouch in the tall grass", hah, I love that line because it so adequately describes our small, mean-spirited Divider-In-Chief. He did to Ryan what he did to the SOTUS, but I think he made a mistake doing it to Ryan. That's not a man to take belittling well, and better yet, he's not one to go off half-cocked. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold. I have a feeling it's going to be very cold in America in November.
