On September 11, 2012, our nation suffered the death of members of our diplomatic mission for the first time since the Pedecaris assassination in 1904. As with everything else that has happened during his time as our nation’s chief executive that requires some explanation for what went disastrously wrong, Barack Obama, a man who has earned my nickname for him, “The Zero,” self righteously promised, “to get to the bottom,” of what went wrong. What you may not have known is that you and I would probably define getting to the bottom of something a little differently than The Zero. I personally might define it as an earnest attempt, and subsequent success in, determining the pertinent facts that will explain what ever circumstance the subject spoke to. President Zero on the other hand defines that phrase as meaning having anyone who might have the slightest knowledge of such circumstances sign nondisclosure agreements and threaten them with legal action should they answer subpoenas to testify in front of our duly elected Congress. Hopefully, the difference between these two definitions is not too thoroughly nuanced for those of you who are not brain dead.
I do not believe that anyone in the known universe would define transparency in such a manner. Only the hard core minions would even attempt to defend such a blatant and probably illegal obstruction of an ongoing investigation into the death of four American Citizens. Far from the most transparent Presidential Administration promised by Candidate Obama who blamed the grass being green on George W. Bush, he has matched a level of paranoia and corruption that makes one remember the Nixon Administration as the good ole days of honesty in government. Watergate has become the modern day defacto standard for measuring scandal, but the fact is that in those halcyon days of running our crooked leaders out of town ahead of pitch forks and torches, nobody died, and our embassies in foreign nations were not set ablaze. The dead bodies, those not fallen in battle by the way, that have been accumulated due to either incompetence or some cold political calculus on the part of our current President has reached triple digits so far, (I have included the hundreds of Mexican Nationals who died south of our border due to, “Fast and Furious.”)
Such is the danger of electing a man who feels that he must inflict pain as a means to tweak the desires of the populace that he has been elected to govern. As to the moral superiority of the political left in terms of caring for those who can not care for themselves, meaning the permanent victim class upon who’s shoulders all central planners derive their power, I have this to say. That ethical bus has left long ago by the time one wonders whether the act of killing innocent people should be considered an acceptable form of pain to inflict upon we little people. When the ends are allowed to justify the means, the lives of others become a mere matter of utility, and cheapening those lives is far to easy for the monsters who are capable of thinking in such a manner. What I find ironic, is that it is specifically this group who are so capable of shedding such huge crocodile tears with the claim of caring in a morally superior way.
