He has been one of the most destructive, divisive men ever to have held that office, and yet not only did we vote him into it twice, there are those of us who still think Obama was who he said he was, and did what he said he did - damn the facts and the actual consequnces.<br /><br />It's almost as if, once the living standard permits our country's lazier, more sensitive and more sensual citizens to increase past a certain point, they begin to breed cultural suicide bombers. C. S. Lewis was right when he pointed out that the behavior democracies like is not necessarily the same behavior that will tend to preserve them.<br /><br />Once you stop coming into contact with unadulterated daily doses of objective reality - what we call 'life' - with all its joys and sadness - you begin to feed your ego and stop thinking rationally. I get the impression that between our rage for comfort food and other self-medication, and the lure of the ultimate fantasy playground (the internet), the United States is rapidly losing the ability to fight off the cultural suicide bombers.<br /><br />All those scenarios painted to keep us in a State of Fear? Russian nukes, Chinese economic ruin, AGW, etc? Those, like the scenario painted for us by Orwell in his '1984', will never come to pass. We will vote for our own suicide as a country first.Steven Satakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621308678106707775noreply@blogger.com
