Moral disarmmament

Obama is immersing America in a new arms race - the race to moral and military disarmament. He aims to simultaneously cut our weapons systems and defense capabilities and engage in multilateral, international agreements. His words and action aim to deprive Americans of their ability to distinguish between a good and an evil or a truth and a deception. The method Obama uses to accomplish his new order is draws upon ½ lies, ½ truths and double speak. But half of America isn’t able to decoding his messages. Obama’s counselor David Axelrod has said that the response to Obama’s soaring "speeches of such weight is less consequential than reverberations from his message." Do I hear equivocation? Obama has said that we are "ultimately better off without the tyranny of Sadaam Hussein" but he adds that the Iraq war had shown why diplomacy and international consensus were preferable. Do I hear more equivocation? If I hear contradiction and misdirection, why cannot other Americans? They have fallen under his sway. When citizens have been morally disarmed, shorn of truth and straight talk, rendered devoid of person reflection, we are in deep doodoo.
