Is the United States still considered a super
power? Have we become a follower,
instead of a world leader? That seems to
be the question after President Obama snubbed France by not sending a high
level official from his administration to march on the Parisian streets with our
long time ally.
We all know this arm in arm demonstration is nothing
more than a show. European leaders, for
the most part, are still in denial about the cancer that is Islam. But President Obama sent a message of a different
sort, one that has perplexed members of his own party, and particularly the
boot lickers in the mainstream media. To
me it is quite simple. He sees the Charlie
Hebdo massacre as nothing more than a local crime, and should be treated as such. And now, they are dealing with
the blowback.
Secretary John F. Kerry made a fool of himself, and
our country by trying to reassure the French people we are still their
friends. And what was the best way of
doing this? Why, by putting it in song
of course.
I do believe the world is having a revelation about
America’s soft power diplomacy. I can
just imagine it now. It is cartoonish in
nature, almost like when King Julian in Madagascar summed up the new arrivals
on his island after testing their resolve.
We have become a bunch of pansies. Come on world, let’s meet the pansies!
