Whom The Gods Would Destroy

"Whom the gods would destroy, they would first make mad". The Greek dramatist Euripides uttered these words over one thousand years ago. Did he have a premonition of the future Obama Administration? President Obama ; standing before the Norweigan King and Queen, gave a Nobel acceptance speech full of godly echo and reverb, but seemed less than god-like in confused , schizophrenic content. The one verbal skill that Obama has mastered is his ability to move  almost seemlessly from right wing , cowboy rhetoric,to left wing appeasement apologist without even drawing a deep breath .He knows the perceived hypocracy  and irony of receiving a Peace Prize on the heels of troop buildup in Afghanistan; and sheepishly acknowledged so. But more importantly , for the first time, President Obama was forced to admit before a captive Norway audience, in full echo, the truth about Peace and Freedom; the ugly little secret that the liberal left stubbornly refuse to recognize. Obama refused too, when he was mere Congressman and Senator; but as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, he must now face reality . Peace and Freedom are not won by speeches and diplomacy . No, history has proven that these concepts are only possible with war and the threat of war.Not one country on earth currently enjoys a peaceful, free society without a long bloody struggle against evil preceding it. And, as long as the majority of nations on this planet continue to be run by petty Dictators, Despots, and Tyrants,they never will. Obama finally admitted to this. And he did so in another country; his usual venue for bashing America and its imperialist methods.  He even went so far as to say that such tyrants as Hitler and Stalin could not have been stopped by anything other than military action. Impressive. Sure, he followed that statement up with talk of withdraw , timelines , the closing of Gitmo , and the banning of waterboarding; but that was simply from liberal reflex.  The truth is; he knows!! He now knows!! He knows the awful , terrible mistake he has made. He knows that Bush was right , whether on the war , tax cuts , or The Patriot Act. He now must face the most painful revelation of his young Presidency. 44% of Americans now say they would prefer having Presidenr Bush back in office. 44%!! That is an astounding admission of the mistake the nation has made in entrusting our safety and freedom to the hands of this liberal man-child.  This will not , however, cause him to abandon his destructive path of wealth re-distribution and government expansion, and his speech proved this.No, like all liberals , his hatred of all things Bush will force him to stay the course on this destrutive path ; at least domestically.He can do nothing else. Like Captain Ahab,he will continue to stab and slash at the memory of the Bush legacy, even as it pulls him down into the wine dark depths of political doom. 'From Hell's Heart I stab at thee! " For hates sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"The words of Captain Ahab as he plunged his pike into Moby Dick , even as the Whale dragged him to his death. That whale is now personified as resurging conservatism,and the liberal left will continue to stab, slash , and fight uselessly, driven to madness by their hatred of Bush and Republicans. This hatred has its roots in a basic contempt for the concept of Freedom; their White Whale personified. If the gods have truly inflicted this madness upon the Obama Administration, as Euripedis has suggested ; then they are truly playful and without pity in their dealings with mere mortals
