President Barack Obama is possessed of a peculiar viewpoint. He believes firmly in equality of outcomes, Equality is a moral imperative. How does one achieve equality? Elevating the downtrodden or lowering the achievers? Does one elevate same sex marriage to the special status heterosexual marriage enjoys or do we reduce heterosexual marriage to just another in a long series of life choices. Little boy, are you going to marry a boy or a girl when you grow up? Would you like paper or plastic? Are these questions equivalent in weight? Are they equal?
Even on the international stage Barack Obama's rose colored glasses are incapable of diferentiating between ally and enemy, tyrant or benevolent constitutional monarch, he can't even diferentiate between American exceptionalism and any other countries national pride.
Obama has stated that American exceptionalism is no different from any other countries "exceptionalism". This mistaken belief has led him to believe that American's cannot impose our values on others.
These statements by Obama need clarification. What American values can't be imposed on others? Freedom, life, liberty, our desire to pursue happiness? I never considered these ideas to be much of an imposition.
Does Obama really believe that the exceptionalism of the American experiment is really just nationalism to be dismissed as the pride in one's lands... one's team? Does this mean that President Obama believes there are other countries that have the freedoms we enjoy here? Other countries with the same history of saving other countries from power mad oppressors, fighting for smaller countries against larger forces. Getting involved to save lives not take them.
This president is a posesses a view that can only be described as malignant egalitarianism.
