Good Monday Evening A Remarkable Occurrence. Today in the New York Times, we witnessed a truly remarkable occurrence........ The New York Times, often a cheerleader for Barack Obama, printed an article called The Great Unraveling, please read the following passage: It was a time of weakness. The most powerful nation on earth was tired of far-flung wars, its will and treasury depleted by absence of victory. An ungrateful world could damn well police itself. The nation had bridges to build and education systems to fix. Civil wars between Arabs could fester. Enemies might even kill other enemies, a low-cost gain. Middle Eastern borders could fade; they were artificial colonial lines on a map. Shiite could battle Sunni, and Sunni Shiite, there was no stopping them. Like Europe’s decades-long religious wars, these wars had to run their course. The nation’s leader mockingly derided his own “wan, diffident, professorial” approach to the world, implying he was none of these things, even if he gave that appearance. He set objectives for which he had no plan. He made commitments he did not kerod ep. In the way of the world these things were noticed. Enemies probed. Allies were neglected, until they were needed to face the decapitators who talked of a Caliphate and called themselves a state. Words like “strength” and “resolve” returned to the leader’s vocabulary. But the world was already adrift, unmoored by the retreat of its ordering power. The rule book had been ripped up. Unbelievable. As Anne Coulter says about the liberal base:We could have a 1929-level stock market crash, Obama could commit a murder on the White House lawn -- and they would still support the first minority president! True. I speak to these people (the base) everyday. I speak to them and listen because the circular logic that they use in order to justify Obama is fascinating. And believe me, they are neither conflicted nor do they feel in any way perturbed by the lack of leadership, instead, they tell themselves lies to get themselves through. In this Twilight Zone logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. Rod Serling Or, they become like Michael Moore and they realize that the only accomplishment has been the election of a Black President. Nothing more and nothing less, and for some....... that is simply enough. nytimes/2014/09/16/opinion/roger-cohen-the-great-unraveling.html
