Obamexicans

AMERICA: Divine man of brilliance, brilliant man of deity, bestow upon us another morsel of your boundless "fuckshit" wisdom.

GODBAMA: As if you could stop me:

To Mexicans? Mexico didn't exist as a nationality as far as we were concerned until forty-five years AFTER the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps he meant to say "Hispanics" and/or "Latinos," since this WAS a Hispanic Ethnicity Identity shindig. Any possible reason why his handlers let him speak without TOTUS chained to his wrist like the nuclear "football"? This kind of gaffery ALWAYS happens when he goes TOTUSless.

Malaproping "Mexicans" for "Hispanics" isn't even the worst brainfart in the clip. He's got such a pander-boner that he completely mischaracterizes pre-American history in his rush to depict 16th/17th/18th-century multi-culti kumbayah. The British, French, Dutch, and Spanish didn't "share the same land"; they were competing with each other to take ALL the land. The former two fought two full-scale wars within a twenty-five year period, the first over Canada (which France lost), the second over the American Revolution (in which France got revenge by screwing the British out of the thirteen colonies). America wasn't some lib shangri-la and then the United States was founded and immediately set about imposing racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, Islamophobia, capitalism, environmental catastrophes, Christian theocracy, etc. Rather, America was founded and set about throwing out the European powers and establishing the Western hemisphere as our own sphere of benign influence in which, via the constitutional republic the founders bequeathed us, the United States went from poor, weak, defenseless, agrarian society clinging to the eastern seaboard to global industrial and military superpower in barely more than a century.

It's taken another century for [re]gressivism to tear down and undermine that global industrial and military superpower to its present woebegone state of cultural rot and teetering economic collapse. And as this latest idiocy redundantly illustrates, Red Barry sees himself as the man whose destiny is to deliver the coup de grace.

By whatever means necessary:

We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever...we absorbed it and we are stronger.

Translation: Enduring mass-casualty Islamic terrorist attacks against our cities is an acceptable cost of "peace in our time." Jihadi fanatics slaughtering several thousand American civilians at a time is "no big deal"; at least, not big enough to, you know, GO TO WAR over, since such attacks are NOT acts of war themselves, but merely criminal acts best left to law enforcement and the civilian court system. That they keep attacking us is proof-positive that we haven't "reached out" enough to develop an "understanding" and "make amends" for our own "anti-Muslim bigotry," and should be answered with even more obseqious dhimmist prostrations.

Yeah, we "absorbed" 9/11, in the sense that several thousand families "absorbed" the murders of loved ones, and the U.S. economy, already sinking into Bill Clinton's recession, "absorbed" some two trillion dollars in losses of various sorts, particularly in the airline industry. How these economic losses were "absorbed" and we "emerged stronger" were, of course, due to the Bush tax cuts that B.O. can't wait to terminate, and the common sense internal security measures and equally commonsensical treatment of Islamic assymmetrical warfare as (ta da) A WAR that were implemented by President Bush. All of which The One specifically campaigned on getting rid of.

But leaving aside the moronic, Ameriphobic pacifism, his premise itself is fatally flawed. Could Barack Obama's depressed, no-growth, double-digit unemployment economy "absorb" another 9/11? To say nothing of the regime "crisis-exploitation" that would inevitably follow it?

What about a WMD attack? Could we "absorb" this?:

Oh, I think that scenario gives King Hussein some serious wood contemplating the power he could seize in the wake of an attack of that magnitude. It'd be the perfect cover for martial law, national emergency, suspension of constitutional law. The sky would be the limit, my friends.

More to the point, though, is why we should have to "endure" anything. Nuking Washington, D.C., or radiologically dusting Boston, or nerve-gassing Los Angeles, or sparking a plague in Houston, or the ultimate strike - an electromagnetic pulse attack:

A sword of Damocles hangs over our heads. It is a real threat that has been all but ignored.

On February 3 [2009], Iran launched a “communications satellite” into orbit. At this very moment, North Korea is threatening to do the same. The ability to launch an alleged communications satellite belies a far more frightening truth. A rocket that can carry a satellite into orbit also can drop a nuclear warhead over any location on the planet in less than forty-five minutes.

Far too many timid or uninformed sources maintain that a single launch of a missile poses no true threat to the United States, given our retaliatory power.

A reality check is in order and must be discussed in response to such an absurd claim: In fact, one small nuclear weapon, delivered by an ICBM can destroy the United States by maximizing the effect of the resultant electromagnetic pulse upon detonation.

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a byproduct of detonating an atomic bomb above the Earth’s atmosphere. When a nuclear weapon is detonated in space, the gamma rays emitted trigger a massive electrical disturbance in the upper atmosphere. Moving at the speed of light, this overload will short out all electrical equipment, power grids and delicate electronics on the Earth’s surface. In fact, it would take only one to three weapons exploding above the continental United States to wipe out our entire grid and transportation network.....

Within weeks after such an attack, tens of millions of Americans would perish. The impact has been likened to a nationwide Hurricane Katrina. Some studies estimate that 90% of all Americans might very well die in the year after such an attack as our transportation, food distribution, communications, public safety, law enforcement, and medical infrastructures collapse.

We most likely would never recover from the blow.

No, Li'l President, there are some attacks we CAN'T "endure". And if you'll remember back nine short years - because I'll guarantee most Americans can, or there wouldn't be 2-1 public opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque - there wasn't ANYBODY outside the Democrat Underground and registered commie dissidents like Michael Moore and Norm Choamsky who was the slightest bit interested in "absorbing" 9/11. Which is why George W. Bush's second term was clinched on top of that Manhattan rubble pile three days later:

Go ahead, Barry. Go ahead and climb up on the next rubble pile after the next 9/11 and grab your TOTUS-less bullhorn and lecture an angry and outraged American people not to "jump to conclusions" and to "refrain" from "overreaction" and "Islamophobic bigotry" and treat "our values" like a national suicide pact.

I dare you. I double "dog" dare you. Your presidency is already in deeper doo-doo than the aftermath of the Tournament of Elephants parade. That Spaghettisburg Address would get you completely swept in the Electoral College if you were foolhardy enough to seek re-election anyway. And I believe you are, indeed, that foolhardy.

On the bright side, at least one of your speeches would finally actually be "historic".
