Farce And Tragedy
I was reading Mark Steyn’s flaying of the Obama administration’s inept handling of terrorism. http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/president-226640-states-system.html I just can’t help but laugh out loud at wonderful lines such as these:
“Condemning the attackers”? What happened to all the allegedly alleged stuff? Shouldn’t that be “condemning the alleged isolated attacker”? The communications director seems to be wandering a bit off-message here, whatever the message is: The system worked, so we’re inconveniencing you even more. The system failed, but the alleged suspect is an isolated extremist, so why won’t that cowardly squish Cheney have the guts to condemn the attacker and his vast network of associates?
But even as I laugh I wonder to myself how can something that puts us all in mortal danger be funny? It is said that history repeats itself; first as tragedy, than as farce. But the Obama administration has been farce since the “post-racial, bi-partisian healer” was promising to turn back the tides. The farce has been in great abundance all along. The tragedy is coming and I fear in even greater abundance.
