I mean, in a sane America.<br /><br />Add to that all of the other factors -- a complete lack of high-level executive experience, his leftist radicalism, his belief in his own self importance and the resulting inability to govern himself when self-restraint, particularly in a chief executive officer, is of the utmost moment, and etc. -- and you have the precise ingredients necessary to bring on the disaster that is forthcoming.<br /><br />I think Americans are fair minded enough to give people the benefit of the doubt until the evidence suggests, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the accusation against the person in question is accurate. But as with anything else this "fair mindedness" can be taken to the extreme, and anything taken to the extreme is, as I've said many, many times, bad. Like our government, Americans are way out of balance right now. In fact, a good argument can be made that our government is out of balance because the people are out of balance. But I'll leave that for another discussion. <br /><br />Lord, forgive us, for we know not what we've done.Terry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763883859696167228.post-43914891256942916652009-05-06T03:24:00.000-05:002009-05-06T03:24:00.000-05:00I understand that Obama's faith is not the topic o...I understand that Obama's faith is not the topic of this entry, but the way how it is dealt with it. However, allow me a slightly off-topic comment. I have stated from the beginning that Obama is a Muslim and gotten nothing but adverse reactions, from unbelieving to openly hostile. Now, after the magic first 100 days, people seem to be much more reluctant to dismiss the thought. I am remembered of the Gandhi-quote "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." It doesn't fully apply here, though. Enlightenment came so quickly that stage three was skipped already and "winning" is the last thing I wish to do in this case.<br /><br />America has a certain (to me) unexplainable strength, which has all through your history served as self-saving (for want of a better word). The current situation is not just mortally dangerous, but has (again to me) a creepy, spine-chilling quality I never experienced before. May God help you!The_Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529769143608862966noreply@blogger.com
