I agree with Lionell, Obama does not have good intentions. He is not making any honest mistakes here. He has been filled with so much hate by the Alinskis and Rev. Wrights of the world and other adults in his life that he is intent on destroying the demons they have given him.

Now OZero has joined Al Gore and Jimmy Carter in receiving a Nobel Peace Prize.

It would be comical if it were not so sickening.

Very well put. This, if you think about it, is almost exactly the definition of a narcissist, which I have long believed our current President is.

I would add one thing to this, as a definition of narcissism: the narcissist makes his thoughts and fantasies the measure of reality. When reality and the cherished fantasies of narcissists come to their unavoidable clash, it’s a ugly scene.

However, it was the Palestinian racial and religious peoples who sided with Hitler, mainly to exterminate Jews. That axis lost WW2 to the superior values of Western (as in Aristotelian) culture, and were required accept, by military defeat, the territories they received.

Nonetheless, the barbaric Islamic view, particularly with respect to Israelis never, ever, ceases. Any rationalization , any lack of recall, or any timidity, by the West, provides a weak spot upon which they will press.

In the fullness of time, the non-Muslims must all accept the status of kafir and pay their dues or die. It does not matter that Israel, against all the Muslim Middle Eastern nations possesses but the area of a match box on a football field, the kafir must be cowed under Islamic control or eliminated entirely. Not one Jew should live free.

Obama grasps none of this, or worse, he does and does not care. His pragmatism is worse than moral relativism, it believes that peace and prosperity (change) lie on the side of any belief that is not Egoism.

I say that, fully aware that his hypocritical expectation is that all others suppress their ego for his ego.

As long as he and his kind exists and there is at least one free, independent, self defined individual on earth, Obama et.al. will continue to grab for power and control. He does not have good intentions.

Of course, every individual has a right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m not sure what they mean by “self-determination.” Does that mean they can install a communist dictatorship is they “self-determine” that is best?

In any case, inalienable rights have nothing to do with being Jewish, or Arab, or Anglo-Saxon, etc. That whole argument was racist/collectivist.

Now, given that Israel is the freest state in the Middle East, I support them against all the other states over there. But Zionism is not a rational argument.
