Nobody told me there’d be days like these. Strange days indeed.

There are too many things to protest.

The White House makes no official statement on the killing of Private William Long and the wounding of Private Quinton Ezeagwula at the army recruiting center by a black American Muslim convert. No official statement. Obama announced his choice for Army Secretary without addressing the killing. When the abortion doctor was killed, on the other hand, the White House officially condemned his killing a couple hours later.

I watched the video of Private Long’s father. While watching it I thought, this is how we became a superpower, because of men like this. He called the killer “a broken person.” This is true Christianity. The most powerful stuff in the world. He broke down a little bit only when he described others’ acts of kindness towards him in his grief. I’ve witnesses this phenomenon and experienced it. Kindness gets to you in a way that cruelty does not.

So the loss and the wounding of these two soldiers was not deemed worthy by the White House of official acknowledgement. Alienating the military is never a good idea. Sometimes I think it’s ideological with the Obama administration, sometimes I just think it’s incompetence. The truth is probably somewhere between the two. Closer to incompetence.

Obama told a French reporter that the “US is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” In his dreams, maybe. Uh, do you think Muslims are really going to buy that? And apparently referring to the “Muslim world” as Obama does is playing right into the hands of the terrorists.

Then, a “U.S. document containing sensitive details about hundreds of civilian nuclear sites across the country” was posted on the internet, on the website of the U.S. Government Printing Office, whose unintentionally hilarious tagline reads “Keeping America Informed.” Yeah, keeping a whole lot of people informed. America’s just one of ‘em. I’m actually not that concerned, though, because the document was a draft declaration of U.S. nuclear facilities intended for a U.N. nuclear watchdog agency. So, I figure, number one, if it’s intended for the U.N. it’s got to be crap. Unless the Obama administration is utterly brain-dead, a very real possibility, they’re not giving their best information to the U.N. Second, the U.N. is feeble-minded, so giving them any information is a lot like posting it on the internet, anyway. Sometimes incompetence is actually soothing.

Then, what. And Nancy Reagan, when Obama went to sign a document regarding honoring President Reagan (just saying those words feels soooo goood), said, “Oh, you’re a Lefty!”

Obama is now proclaiming that his father was Muslim. During his campaign he stated that his father was not Muslim, but was agnostic or atheist. Typical Obamian sleight of hand. Agnostic is not a religion. Atheist is not a religion. Agnosticism or atheism are kind of informal, philosophical positions. If you’re from Kenya, you’re most likely either Muslim or Christian. You may grow up Muslim or Christian and go to college and decide you’re really agnostic, or atheist, or an existentialist, or whatnot. For political purposes, you’re still Muslim or Christian. It’s not like Obama’s father formally converted to Christianity and got baptised in a river down in the South or something. He was Muslim. He just wasn’t a good Muslim. That’s what agnostic/atheist means. Surprise, surprise.

Well, I knew it. I knew what Obama was before the election. No one can say that Obama is a Trojan Horse. This information was out there. I know the media lied a lot, but the fact that the media was lying a lot was also out there. Sometimes I grow disgusted with my fellow Americans for having voted for Obama. My immediate next thought is always to wonder how many of my fellow Americans actually did vote for Obama, since election fraud was so widespread.

Ok, so do we have enough to start impeachment proceedings yet?

Oh, the other thing I was looking at today was stuff about the article by a writer for Playboy listing the female conservative commentators he’d like to rape (“You get this one pregnant, she stays pregnant. Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it?”). I sent an email to the editor of Playboy, demanding an apology, lmohn@playboy.com. Was I surprised by this? No. It’s part of warfare.

I have new respect for Martin Luther King Jr. All the tit-for-tat, settling of old scores, racial grievance politics the Democrats and Obama play gives me new respect for the Reverend Dr. King. It’s easier to appeal to people’s baser natures, to exploit people. It’s harder to appeal to people’s better natures. Or is it, maybe that’s just what we tell ourselves. Maybe it’s not harder to appeal to people’s better natures. Obama did that in a way. I heard some white guy on Rush Limbaugh (I never listened to Rush Limbaugh- never, before a couple of months ago) who said that he voted for Obama because he thought it was healing for racial division in this country, and then he was floored when Obama was silent when the Prime Minister of Brazil, Lula da Silva, said that this financial crisis was caused by “blue-eyed bankers.” Well, it was pretty obvious before the election that Obama and his big, strong wife had axes to grind.

My point is that all this racial animosity gives me new respect for the work of Dr. King Jr. My great-uncle was a monsignor in a primarily black parish in Syracuse, New York. He marched in Selma.
