-SatireLet’s stop kidding ourselves. Our political elite and the main stream media (MSM) are not as stupid as they appear.
Through a combination of arrogance, fear and a lust for political power, they were complicit in or acquiesced to installing what is arguably a Constitutionally ineligible individual in the White House.
Now they are hoping that either we didn’t notice or, if anyone did, they are desperately trying to change the subject. The politicians’ fear is palpable, not so much for America, but for their jobs.
As rumor has it, our political and media elitists are concerned that if Barack Obama is removed from the Presidency without being voted out of office, race riots and politically-motivated violence will ensue.
The political leadership themselves should be removed from office, if for no other reason than they lack a sense of irony.
Race riots and politically-motivated violence can be mitigated by the rule of law, the very thing our political elite and the MSM helped to undermine by reinterpreting the Constitution according to their own whims.
In addition, they now insist that, if Obama is to be removed, it must be done by the Constitutional electoral process in contrast to the manner in which they allowed him to assume the Presidency.
When considering the possibility of race riots, unfortunately, our political elite and the MSM see the African American community as millions of Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons, both of whom would be out of business in a genuine post-racial society.
Please forgive ordinary Americans for believing that there is a greater amount of diversity in the African-American community. We would argue that it is composed of far more productive people than race-baiters and political ambulance-chasers.
One irony is, while claiming to oppose racism, the left wing of the Democratic Party and the MSM must benefit from propagating it because they seem to endorse elected officials and TV personalities whose livelihood depends on a need to perpetuate racial polarization.
Americans, nearly unanimously, view the MSM as biased in favor of the Democratic Party. The MSM’s intellectual inbreeding, which results from listening only to themselves and politicians with similar pre-approved opinions, has both lowered their tolerance for dissent and their collective IQ.
Together with their allies on the Democratic left, most of the MSM will no doubt support Obama for re-election. Like a gaggle of zombies, they will continue in a mindless fashion to attack and ridicule anyone, who questions their version of the conventional wisdom.
Who then are the real haters and perpetrators of incivility?
When the Obama mystique finally begins to unravel, members of Congress, in order to save their skins, will have no recourse, but to plead temporary insanity.
They could also try to claim that they spent the last few years living in an alternate reality within a parallel universe, but that would too much resemble business as usual.At the risk of enduring the female wrath of Reid-Pelosi-Rove and turning Chris Matthews’ leg tingle into sciatica, I say it is far better to face the issue now, head on than let this Constitutional crisis fester.
Judge Billings Learned Hand said: “Heretics have been hated from the beginning of recorded time; they have been ostracized, exiled, tortured, maimed and butchered; but it has generally proved impossible to smother them; and when it has not, the society that has succeeded has always declined.”
Beyond all the pompous and self-serving rhetoric being spewed daily out of Washington, D.C. and from TV talking heads, there remains one enduring element that underlies the tragic situation in which we find ourselves.
Our political elite and the MSM do not trust the people or our democracy. Ordinary Americans have become the heretics that they intend to smother.
And our country will be lesser for it.
