I listened to
the president’s Syria speech the other night where he attempted to convince the
nation that we Americans are morally burdened with still another violent duty
in the service of righteousness. The symptomatological cascade that Mr. Obama
has succumbed to the pathology of imperial power, proffered by the permanent
military-industrial bureaucracy, was confirmed by the encapsulation of his banal
reasoning in a plethora of discreditable clichés glued together by the
rhetorical excrement of empire – right down to the foolishness that some unique
gift of “exceptionalism” justly enfranchises all the expedient, violent, and
hypocritical activities this nation undertakes.
According to
the unchanged opinions of the majority of Americans, even The Great Orator couldn’t
re-legitimize our sham notion of “exceptionalism” which has been rendered
intellectually and factually dubious to the ascending, culturally dominant
generation geo-politically matured and edified by our brutal, blatant, and
unapologetic Real politik fraud in Iraq. The demagoguery and rose-tinted lenses
which for so long nullified the color of blood have been displaced by a new
willingness to view impulsive militarism with the cynicism fitting to its
nature and bequeaths to progressive, peaceful civilization. And that's a good thing!
