Mitt Romney Has Got It All Wrong


The one thing that Mitt Romney does not seem to understand is that he cannot scare people by barking at them and yet, barking is what his Jewish advisers are telling him to do. If he has any wisdom at all, he would know that the worst thing a superpower (or a has-been superpower) can do is get into a fight it cannot win because this would be the best way to lose what little respect it may still have in the world.

The truth is that since WWII – aside from the incursions into the Dominican Republic and in Panama – America has been defeated on the battlefield everywhere it ventured without being asked to participate by the Europeans or by the Arabs. It was defeated in Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq 2 and Afghanistan where it went on its own. It was victorious in Iraq 1, the Balkans and Libya where it was invited to participate.

Romney may think that barking is an electoral ploy he will not have to honor after the election. Fair enough or maybe not so fair, after all. But if the people to whom he panders by the fact that he barks at the Arabs and the Muslims – will not be bothered by a broken promise, the Arabs and the Muslims will not forget what he tried to do. And they will react in their own funny way. That is, they will send him a big dose of contempt; a message that will dare him to show off his big manhood rather than his big mouth.

Don't forget, dear reader, that since Vietnam, the image that the world has had of the American soldier is that of a proud man when he is bombing you from the air, but that of a child crying for his mommy when he is captured. No, nobody is going to tremble in their boots or their sandals or their bare feet because Romney is barking at them. But if he starts a fight, they will give him one that is so asymmetric, he will never forget it, especially that every soldier they capture will risk having his manhood chopped off and sent to his commanding officer. This will be done in retaliation for Abu Ghraib and for the pissing on the bodies of dead Afghan soldiers. You see, these people too believe in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a dick for a dick.

If you want to see how dumb Romney's Jewish advisers are, read the article that came under his name in the October 1, 2012 edition of the Wall Street Journal. It has the title: “A New Course for the Middle East” and the subtitle: “Restore the three sinews of American influence: our economic strength, our military strength and the strength of our values.” Of course, you meet the sentence making up that subtitle later in the article, upon which you immediately understand that the article was written by advisers who first consider themselves Jews working for the benefit of Israel, and then consider themselves Americans who are given the opportunity to exploit America for the benefit of Israel.

This reality becomes apparent because the article is not about America or about America in the world; rather it is about America in the Middle East. As the title suggests, what you see everywhere from the first paragraph to the last is a discussion that concerns the diminishing influence of America in the Middle East, and the effect this has on the security of Israel. Thus, when the Jewish speechwriters say that America must restore the sinews of its influence, which they identify as being the economy, the military and the values, they indicate that they want the restoration to work for Israel first and foremost. Only if there is a leftover, will that go to the American people.

You may think they would want to make a big effort to hide the truth about their allegiance but they don't. They only make a small effort that leaves them as transparent as an open book. They do so by first stating the following: “Disturbing developments are sweeping across the greater Middle East.” They enumerate those developments then say this about them: “They are major issues that put our security at risk.” Here, the speechwriters count on you to think that when they say “our security” you will take it to mean America's security when, in fact, their only concern is the welfare and the security of Israel.

And you notice this fact right away because you see them lament that: “In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has come to power, and the country's peace treaty with Israel hangs in the balance,” when in the subtitle they talked about strengthening American values. Well, my friends, it was the Muslim Brotherhood that strengthened American values in the Middle East by getting elected through legitimate means. But now you see the Jewish writers lament that the old regime in Egypt – which they seem to have cherished without ever admitting it – is no more. So you scream: How in Jewish hell do they propose to strengthen America's democratic values in the Middle East? Bring back the old regime in Egypt? Resuscitate Gaddafi and restore him to power? What in Yiddish hell are these people moaning about?

But if they do not see a free election in Egypt as being a step in the direction of American values, what do they see as being a step in the direction of American values? What a question! What a question this is, my friend! You really want to know what the answer is? Okay, I'll tell you what it is but brace yourself because these people took a convoluted route before putting the answer down. Look at this passage: “by stepping away from our allies, President Obama has heightened the prospect of conflict and instability.” You know what this is about?

I'll tell you what it's about. It's an endorsement of the threat that Netanyahu has been making for a time, a threat to the effect that he will launch an attack on Iran knowing full well that Iran has the wherewithal to retaliate and cream him in the process. When the creaming will start happening, America will be forced to do what it has done before which is to come to the rescue of Israel.

Thus, to attempt suicide so as to pull America into a war it cannot afford is what the Romney speechwriters call a step in the direction of American values. Get it now? These characters are saying you must forget about free elections in Egypt because this is too girlish to be considered American values. Look instead at the attempt to commit suicide which is so manly, it is American values through and through.

And this is why Mitt Romney wants to be President of the United States of America, and this is why he wants the American people to vote for him.

Can you believe this?
