 sahara says: Increasing the size of the war in Afghanistan instead of withdrawing from that Godforsaken war, prosecution for torture, health care, and who knows how many other disasters... “Obama says in regard to torture that he wants to look forward, not look back,” Velvel continues. “He is a brilliant guy who, despite his brilliance, seems never to have learned the truth in Faulkner’s line that the past is not prologue; it is not even past.” “When those who do evil get away with it because nobody wants to think about what was done, and people instead want to focus on ‘moving forward,’ the door is open, both ideologically and practically, for recurrence of the same evil in the future,” Velvel warns. “One wonders whether Obama’s brilliance and articulateness have now played him false. That is, one wonders whether his immense intelligence and skill enabled him to succeed and succeed without ever having to realize and act upon the fact that there are some people who simply will never be placated, who will always be bitter enders in opposition. One wonders whether it is possible that he has never before had to face this fact because, for his entire life, he was always able to persuade so many people by virtue of intelligence, grace and fluency, until he ran up against the hard case Republicans who seem to control that party in Congress and who seem intent on running this nation into the ground. Wow! What a limited scope of vision. I would have never thought it could be seen so narrowly! You mean it is thought that all the continuation of, and ramping up by multiple factors of, the same big-bank/Fed's robbing of America and the re-propping up of a doomed system is really just Obama making a goodwill pitstop for the good of the American right-wing, before he gets fully on track to do his great and wondrous works of ..what... you'd say, "rebuilding America"????? These writers MUST know how B.S. that is. If he has run up against anything, it is the American people!!! The people who run the financial system, Fed, Treasury, the thinktanks who really control the visible puppet leaders we... Growing a set is highly under rated. Lad os se: Foerst bliver man moderne, saa bliver man post-moderne og til sidst ender man med at blive - fortidig? Højt at flyve, dybt at falde. |
