One of the columnists in the Boston Globe this morning makes the point that
our potus sees the world in black and white. He's got it exactly right.
But, it isn't a matter of ethical certainty; it's a matter of reinforcing
the moral values (inherent superiority) of whites.
When a couple of white cops in Cleveland can look at long lines of voters,
waiting patiently in the rain to punch their ballots, and call them all
"felons," then it's pretty clear what the new euphemisms really mean.
I, for one, have absolutely no interest in being "united" with the crooks
that are running this country. The potus is a convicted war criminal and
needs to be shunned. And every single legislative and judicial initiative
his cronies come up with needs to be opposed.
I am not crying in my tea cups, not even on my key-board. And I'm not
angry. I am disgusted and ashamed that three quarters of the people in this
country (the 25% that voted for him and the 50% that stayed home) have now
given their seal of approval. May they come to regret it sooner, rather
than later. No matter how often they shout it, American is no longer number
one--it has joined the long line of countries whose leadership is corrupt.
At least now we will learn what that really means.
