A bit of projection here from the chief Democrat in the House of Reps:
It’s only 13 years after Osama bin Laden declared his own private war on the West and think how well he’s done since 2001. This is from The Diplomad:
One did not have to be Nostradamus to see that Obama’s sneering disregard for American and Western interests, and the institutions and principles which maintained those, would have dire consequences for the West and the world. We see those consequences in the arc of insanity that runs from Mauritania to Iran; in Putin’s gleeful mocking of the West and in his drive to rebuild the empire of the Tsars; in China’s growing aggressiveness; in the collapse of our foreign policy in Central and South America epitomized by the wave of illegals blatantly crossing our southern border and the increasingly bizarre politics of Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Brazil. Everywhere we look around the world, the interests of the West–not just of America–are in retreat or collapse.
All driven along by our fools on the left who have been nurtured on their own hatreds of the West and of our religious base. The freest, most open, most prosperous civisilation in history is threatened by some of the most barbaric people who have ever been seen on the face of the earth and not only is there no serious response, you cannot find within the media much of any demand for such a response. This is the description of the American president but in many ways it seems to fit large parts of the left in general:
When discussing Obama and his foreign policy, the range of options are that he is stupid, uninterested, or an evil little worm out to destroy the West. I think, others might disagree, that he is, in fact, all three.
Given the leadership we now have from America, and with the stong possibility of eight years of Hillary after two more from Obama, just where do you think we will be 13 years from now?
