It seems we have arrived at the witching hour of Obama’s presidency, when corporate media ghouls continue to breathe out the infectious contagion of liberal lies and half-truths about the Great Dissimulator and his accomplishments.
It seems we have arrived at the witching hour of Obama’s presidency, when corporate media ghouls continue to breathe out the infectious contagion of liberal lies and half-truths about the Great Dissimulator and his accomplishments.
Whether
it’s The New York Times’ opinion pages hailing Dr. Changelove as
“The Most Successful Democrat Since F.D.R.,”
or the noxious nostalgia for the present injected into the public
discourse like so many palliatives into the bloodstream of a terminal
patient, the true history of Obama’s presidency is being veiled
behind a mask of delusion.
Maybe
it’s the Orange-Headed Hydra assuming power in Washington that
gives the outgoing administration that air of dignity and grace.
Maybe it’s the desire to craft a narrative in which “Hope” and
“Change” were something other than hollow campaign slogans deftly
employed by a charlatan of the first order. Or maybe it’s just
business as usual in the heart of the U.S. Empire. No matter the
reason, Barack Obama’s media-induced sainthood is now all but
complete in liberal America’s collective psyche.
But
the United States is not the only “America.”
Indeed,
crossing the southern border and entering into that mysterious place
called “Latin America,” one encounters a very different Obama
legacy, one that is defined by the same policies that Yankee
imperialists have employed for more than a century: destabilization,
militarization, and exploitation.
Yes
We Can!…continue to pursue a neocolonial agenda in Central and
South America.
