I love the ignorance of people that buy into all this garbage. I have friend who graduated from a pretty prestigious university with a masters in international relations at like age 21 (some years ago) who thinks all the crap is true. It's unimaginable to an academic that barbarians, warlords, and the powerless don't respect weakness, concessions to genocidal slave-masters, and a general lack of any values, principles, or the will to stand behind them.

It's unimaginable to her that the things she values as an academic aren't valued by world leaders (tyrants and tyrant wannabes) and the usually poor and uneducated people of the world. Give them a bunch of vague talk of compromise, moves toward NWO government, and moves toward an international welfare state, and academics applaud. Clearly the whole world rejoices at such sophisticated and socially just nonsense!

Too bad it means nothing except more tyranny, oppression, and control. But that's okay. To most academics (intellectual lightweights), that's a good thing. Obviously smart people like them and Obama (and third world dictators, which many leaders of western countries today want to be) can run things better than free markets. It just hasn't been done right. Tyranny can work! Just give them another chance and they'll show you.

I'm not suggesting Bush was a genius or particularly respected, but Obama is the laughing-stock of the world. I'm not arguing who was worse, only that Obama is an embarrassment to the American people. What kind of leader gives billions to his enemies? Bush and Obama. What kind of leader bombs a foreign nation (Libya) for the interests of another foreign nation (China)? Obama. What kind of leader subsidizes foreign oil companies with tens of millions while banning domestic oil companies from drilling in the same region? Obama.

These things aren't political, they're just stupid. They're only overlooked by "thinkers" because thoughts risk social acceptance, and damnit everyone KNOWS we just need the right academic authoritarian to save us from all this democracy and free markets. Democracy is fine, as long as there are enough socialists to consistently elect the best candidate.
