Which is Worse? Which is More True? Friday, October 23, 2009

So if you believe all the e-mails, the fox news slants, the Glenn Beck tears, and others, then, of course, President Obama is leading our country down a path to socialism, fascism, communism, and any other ‘ism’ that they want to tag him with. But, again, that’s only if you simply believe, take for granted what ultra-conservatives are trying to tell us. The problem is that it simply isn’t true. Obama may want to “spread the wealth” but for a supposedly ‘christian nation’ why do we buck at such a notion? Why did we not hear in the previous 8 years something of the Bush dynasty that was true?
Bush was a lone ranger. His policies, his approach to global issues. He isolated America from the rest of the world, apparently thinking that “leading by example” is best done removed from everyone else (and their thoughts and opinions). Of course this is how he approached his own administration. He thought he was the cowboy who not only stood above the law but created the laws.
Listen, i am not saying that to live with the problems of socialism is better than to live with the problems of nationalism. However, in this case….isolated nationalism seen in the cowboy, lone ranger mentality of President Bush was/is more true than some sort of socialistic program that President Obama has up his sleeve for America.
