Those who believe in the innate goodness of man, as does Obama, are made helpless in the face of the advancement of evil, precisely because of such idealism. To reiterate: Violence is spreading in Africa; Russian influence in the middle east, South America, and SE Europe; al Qaeda in Europe, Africa, the Middle East; and Chinese military domination in Asia and the eastern Pacific region. Apparently, Obama defines peace, as the calm before the storm, and his thinking, as wonderful as it sounds, is equally dangerous in his denial of reality. Where in this world, is there the absence of the threat of war or the military domination of billions of people except here, in America and Canada?
In the video, Obama is describing LaLa Land, nothing more, a false narrative that is fueled by a stubborn blindness to the realities of man's innate quest for evil.
What is the harm in assuming the best of men, even our enemies. Look at China. You would see China as an enemy. Allowing that to be for the sake of argument, that regime brings order to its people, and does not seem to be a military threat of any sort.
ReplyDeleteFirst, military expansion is the order of the day, in China. It has tripled the size of its military over the past 20/30 years, against what threat? Has there ever been a hint, in modern times, of China attacking Russia and moving into Europe? But there you have it - a growing military. Time will tell, and there are several theories, but, certainly, a growing military is not in line with a peace loving empire. Something is seriously wrong with the fact of an advancing army that has not yet attacked its neighbors. Obama's solution? To lay down arms, trusting in the good intentions of that foreign power, when, in fact, he has no clue as to their intentions. He would argue otherwise, but it is not a knowledge of China that drives Obama's opinion, but his own childish trust in the bullies of this world, that they really do not want to be bullies, but to be accepted in the larger community. Problem: the bad guys ARE the larger community, and, if Obama is wrong, we all pay the price.
DeleteMore fear and hate.
ReplyDeleteStudy in Current Biology:
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.
Liberal crisis scientists now posit that libs are, physically, better equipped to process Utopian complexities while conservative brains give them a better grasp when it comes to dealing with threat analysis and systemic danger. Me? I'll go with the conservative brain. I believe you scientific types call it, "survival of the fittest."
