The Man Without a Country

Sometimes I get the impression that the people who support Obama the most are of the same spirit as the character in that story who denounced the United States- and was banished for life from the same.

That's how a guy like Obama gets elected.  Get that spirit of rejection of one's own country spread around enough, and it may make a majority.

How does Obama eat dog and admit it and still get elected President?  How does Obama have a pastor who denounces the USA in the way that Jeremiah Wright did, and still get elected President?  How does Michelle Obama claim that Obama's home country is Kenya, and not the USA, and Obama still get elected President of the United States?  The way that happens is to convince a majority of this country that it isn't worthy of support, and therefore, must be rejected.

The media wouldn't vet Obama, but made sure Palin was vetted so much that she is ruined politically.  Surely, the irony of that can not be ignored any longer.  But who knows?  Given the overwhelming amount of material out there that show all of these facts, there is still political support for Obama.  And so, I suspect that it may not make much of a difference even with the Breitbart's piece called The Vetting.  After all, the information has been out there.  Is this stuff really new?  No, it isn't really.  But it amounts to an "in your face" moment.

There have been many of these in the last four years.

No, the in your face aspect of this will double back in the same way as it did in the character Philip Nolan, in The Man Without a Country.  He came to regret his denunciation of his own country.  Philip Nolan did an "in your face" denunciation of America in front of the wrong guy.  Yet that story did not lead to the end of the United States- but this kind of spirit on a nationwide scale could.  There are plenty of wrong guys in the world.  If enough people will not support their own country anymore, it will cease to exist- the wrong guys will see to that.  When that happens, those same people may come to regret what they have done in the same way that the Philip Nolan character did.  But by that time, it will have been too late.
