You
have to give President Obama credit: he is a transformational figure,
and the American media are loath to give him the credit he deserves. Of
course, the transformation he has had in mind and has partially
accomplished had to be covert, for the American voters would never have
chosen this course knowingly. For the scope of the change he has
wrought, as well as the cleverness of his strategy, sooner or later the
Islamic world is bound to proclaim him, “Obama the Magnificent.”
The domestic aspect of the makeover is the lesser achievement.
When
the Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas was attacked by two
jihadists with assault weapons and possibly bombs, a single Texas
off-duty cop took out both attackers with his service pistol. Apparently
Texas is the only place in the world that can cope with jihadist
assaults. In one fierce action that unknown cop made a solid case for
the Second Amendment.
But
our Islamophile media mob instantly blamed the victim. Pamela Geller
was verbally smeared for standing up against Islamo-fascism. Apparently
religious fanatics from the 7th century desert have no need to control their own behavior. They have just become as inevitable as death and taxes.
Muslims
around the world got that message: Don’t mess with Texas, but the US
media are eager to surrender. It’s just a matter of cranking up the
threat.
Our media mob is all for the First Amendment except when it’s dangerous to do so.
But
partial control of the media is not enough for Obama the Magnificent.
President Obama recently hinted at forcing Fox News to stop disagreeing with him
(“we're going to have to change how the media reports on these
issues”). Our fearless leader is so deeply fixated that he can’t
imagine being wrong. Obama has a Napoleonic mindset, with no real
precedent in American history. But Napoleonic delusions are common
enough in one-party dictatorships.
The
president must have been told a thousand times that Iranian nukes would
trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East -- by our military, by
the Saudis, the Israelis, the French, the Russians. He never listened,
and just made more and more concessions to Iran’s nukes -- while lying
about it to the world.
Today
the nuclear arms race is heating up in the most unstable region in the
world, and no serious person believes Obama anymore.
