October 13, 2012 has been a good day to define two words:
leader and lapdog. And lest we forget, we owe our thanks to the New York Times
and the Wall Street Journal for helping us do just that. So let's begin with
the Journal whose editorial: “Biden's Intelligence” also came with this
subtitle: “Nuclear Iran? Resurgent al Qaeda? 'Let's all calm down.'”
In their piece, the editors of the Journal use Vice
President Joe Biden as a springboard to attack the President because Biden
“shed newsworthy light on Obama Administration foreign policy.” They use the
debate that took place between the V.P. (Veep as they call him) and the
Republican challenger vying for his job, Paul Ryan to tell of their dismay that
where Iran 's nuclear program
is concerned, America 's red
line “isn't the red line Israel 's
Bibi Netanyahu had in mind during the recent speech before the United Nations.”
In other words, the editors of the Journal which is majority
owned by the Australian Jew, Rupert Murdoch wish to see America become a
satellite of Israel, and see the American President become the lapdog of the
Prime Minister of Israel. Not only must America subcontract its foreign policy
to Israel, not only must America do what Israel says – more than that, say the
Journal editors, the American President must faithfully follow everything that
the Israeli Prime Minister says so as to pick up on what he has in mind at all
time, thus shape America's policies accordingly. In short, Rupert Murdoch the
Jew wants to see an Israeli lapdog in the Oval Office; one that is attentive to
“His Master's Voice.” Which is why he wants to see Mitt Romney firmly installed
in the Oval Office.
But how can someone come up with an idea as disgustingly
preposterous as this and convince himself he can get away with it? Well, there
is one very Jewish way to doing it. That is, you play God. To do this, you
pretend to know what goes on in the hearts and minds of other people, and you
pretend to know what the future will bring. Here is how the Wall Street Journal
has played this game: “Turkey ,
Saudi Arabia
and others … decide to go nuclear themselves. Iran becomes a regional nuclear
power when it demonstrates its ability to get the bomb.” See how easy it is?
You invent on the spot the consequences that reinforce your argument, and you
warn about them with the confidence of and all-knowing God that never goes
wrong. In other words, you be a Jew, and you Jew your listener.
Of course, Murdoch did not bother explaining why South Korea , Japan
and the Philippines did not
go nuclear when North Korea
did; and this is because when you talk about Jewish causes, everything else
becomes immaterial. But now that the editors have (in their mind's eye) a
faithful lapdog in the Oval Office, might as well use him to the fullest
extent. And so they rebuked Obama's policy concerning the Syrian crisis, Afghanistan , Libya ,
al Qaeda in North Africa, Vladimir Putin's increasingly anti-American policy,
and China 's
muscular antics in the Pacific. They want to see the dog in the White House
lick all the trouble spots in the world by implementing the instructions that
come to him from Tel Aviv and the AIPAC's headquarter in New York . To this end, they will keep
advocating till things happen the way they see them.
Unfortunately for them, Barack Obama occupies the Oval
Office, and he turned out to be not that kind of a guy (or dog in their mind's
eye.) Instead, he has shown them what a leader does, and how he handles the
affairs of the nation. This is shown clearly in the article written by Graham
T. Allisson Jr. and Shai Feldman, and published in the New York Times under the
title: “Why Netanyahu Backed Down.”
They start the article like this: “For three years Israel ’s
prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defense minister, Ehud Barak,
seemed to be united in urging an early military attack on Iran ’s nuclear
facilities. But last week that alliance collapsed, with Mr. Netanyahu accusing
Mr. Barak of having conspired with the Obama administration, in talks behind
his back.” Thus, Obama has shown that using quiet diplomacy – and not the
barking of an attack dog, or the licking of a lap dog – he can get even a
defense minister to abandon a sidekick pissing dog of the Netanyahu caliber.
Thus, Obama has shown how to serve the 320 million Americans, not serve the
likes of a Murdoch or a Netanyahu or the AIPAC characters in New York .
The article goes on to chronicle how the history of that episode
unfolded. It is something that should serve as a model for future Presidents to
follow provided they are made of the same steely material of which Obama is
made, not the gelatin material that Rupert Murdoch is betting Mitt Romney is
made of.
