See, that’s my point, he isn’t crazy, he just thinks he’s right, and it’s not as though he came to these positions on his own. There is an entire edifice of politicized academic thought upon which he and his ilk base their polices. In my view, that’s where the argument needs to happen – not this inane conspiracy mongering and mud-slinging. Btw, Beck – don’t you get it at this point? Hhe knows he’s hired socialists and he doesn’t really care what you think about it. We have to go deeper and counter the arguments at a fundamental level, which is much harder since it requires that we are certain in our ideas ourselves, and not just acting out of vague old tropes like so much of the left and right are hanging on to.

Shawn. I’m truly hoping that it won’t take that because of two factors. One, the suffering of many people during that event/process and second I’m not at all sure the outcome is certain. I think there are forces out there that would assert and even more authoritarian style of rule on both the left and the right.

Well said! In the end, we are in a civil conflict (war) over our core belief system (what does it mean to be an american) and over the role government plays in supporting and/or protecting that belief system its subscribers.

I see the Obama phenomenon as little more than a symptom of a greater tragedy. The american people themselves have lost their way. We have forgotten who we are and what we stand for. The energy orginially infused into this country by the austere, pragmatic individualist founders has been exhausted and we now float free, subject to the whims of human nature and fickle global forces.

Sadly I’m not sure there is a solution short of utter collapse and rebirth founded on the renewed understanded and wisdom that comes from extreme pain and suffering.

I actually view the Obama phenomenon as a good swift vehical to achieve that end. Let’s get this over quickly and get started anew.
