Obama Shows Younger Americans What 1942 Felt Like

Fear and Unend­ing Defeat

Pearl Har­bor. Bataan. Cor­regi­dor. The Philip­pines. Burma. One dis­as­ter after another as Japan thrust irre­sistibly across the Pacific. The nation didn’t have time to catch its breath after one dis­as­ter before the next one was upon it.

This Year of Obama has felt like that. The repub­lic suf­fers one loss after another as its tra­di­tions are chipped away by a relent­less, implaca­ble foe who respects nei­ther our val­ues nor our dreams and who will employ any means to achieve his goal, which is to have his foot on the neck of this coun­try and Make. It. Atone.

If that takes get­ting a few hun­dred of his S.E.I.U. min­ions to go clam­or­ing around some Wash­ing­ton neigh­bor­hoods like a lynch mob in a 50’s west­ern, well, then that’s what will be done. If it works then that’s all that counts. Besides, the cadres need to go on maneu­vers now and then to keep in trim.

And who is to stop him? The press? With few excep­tions the media still can’t get it’s nose out of the Obama back­side. The Con­gress? The party that con­trols Con­gress just gave a stand­ing ova­tion to a for­eign leader as he vil­i­fied an entire Amer­i­can state.

We came back from 1942. All the way to the Japan­ese sur­ren­der on the deck of the U.S.S. Mis­souri in 1945 (another event which Obama said made him uncom­fort­able). I hope we can come back from 2008.

One thing I can promise: if we come back and save this union it will not be done by being all mod­er­ate and bipar­ti­san and inclu­sive. That’s what the media want. We know this because every sin­gle day there are op-​​eds in the New York Times or the Wash­ing­ton Post or the Los Ange­les Times or the Chris­t­ian Sci­ence Mon­i­tor or Newsweek or Time or your local paper telling us this is so.

And remem­ber! If tempted to behave in a man­ner that the media tells you is respon­si­ble and adult,  remem­ber just who com­pletely abdi­cated their respon­si­bil­ity to present a pic­ture of the world as it was and turned into the Barack Obama Drum and Bugle Corps. Remem­ber that.

We are a great nation and we have to get back to behav­ing like one. We have to get back to a con­di­tion of san­ity, both finan­cially, socially, and polit­i­cally. And there are a lot of peo­ple who really don’t like san­ity. It runs counter to their interests.
