“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
What's wrong with you people, can't you see that he is right?
For how could he be wrong, when he is a Harvard-educated, politically and socially enlightened "Man of the People"; a modern-day Messiah sent to lead us poor fools into a new era!
Pshaw on those quaint notions set in a Constitution written by dead men more than two centuries ago; merely so much crumbling paper burning in the fires of time and change, to Obama and his informed and oh-so-enlightened supporters.
Pshaw on our need to embrace such superstitions as are promulgated in our Churches, surely that is only our own fear of the dark, our fear of change, and our need to be sheltered from our xenophobic terrors that forces us to be so.. unwielding in the face of his reason and rationality. No doubt if we had benefitted from his own good reverend of 20 years, we might have a viewpoint more in line with the Great Man's himself.
His compassion prompts a deeper understanding of our psychologies than we inferiors can even realize; his intellect can explain away our resistance to be assimilated in to the movement, and he would surely be smug in his nearly super-human ability to comprehend our self-imposed plight if not for his superior moral footing - no doubt provided in part by his pastor of two decades, Rev. Wright.
What a guy! So let us change and throw down our outdated concepts:
We must work harder and pay even higher taxes so that more "immigrants" may enjoy our health services and schools. We must understand that it is not fair to have a higher standard of living than those beyond our borders, so we must erase these barriers totally. And we must ban the labeling of people as "Illegal Aliens" and call the utterance of such words Hate Speech, and condemn it.
We must destroy our guns because by having guns we force "disadvantaged youths" to find their own guns and express their justifiable anger at us for having possessions they want by robbing us. Only when we have nothing they want, and nothing to threaten them with, will peace reign in the inner cities!
Finally, as is said "..And the children shall lead" we must look to the throngs of young people who are flocking to the Great Sheperd's cause, and follow their wisdom. They are unfettered by the need to support themselves, being ensconced by their bourgeois parents and haven't been damaged by the toil of experience, so they have a clarity of spirit we lack.
Perhaps we might devote ourselves as they do in their worshipful contemplation of Him and so lose the last of outmoded superstitions; we might even attain a state of grace close to Obama's ourselves, one where we too may see statements such as "Goddamn America" as the welcomed spiritual guidance worthy of inspiring the man who would lead us all.
