Bobby Jindal to Obama: "The Medieval Christian Threat Is Under Control."
Now. About the threats which Obama has permitted to flourish and fructify.
"It was nice of the President to give us a history lesson at the Prayer breakfast," Jindal [wrote in a statment]. "Today, however, the issue right in front of his nose, in the here and now, is the terrorism of Radical Islam, the assassination of journalists, the beheading and burning alive of captives. We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if he would face the reality of the situation today. The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today."
Speaking of this, you will remember that Obama said a couple of years ago he was happy that he would soon be politically free to drop #Truthbombs on the country and "go Bullworth." (Bullworth was a movie in which a Senator realized he was going to die and so began dropping #Truthbombs on Uptight Christian White America.)
So when Obama -- supposedly the possessor of he finest mind ever to inhabit a presidential skull -- decides to drop a #Truthbomb on us, you'd expect this to be some pretty insightful, innovated, rock-your-world stuff.
Nope! Obama has always been an intellectual lightweight and mental mediocrity, as evidenced by his complete failure to publish while nominally the Editor in Chief of a Law Review whose entire imperative was to publish.
So his Bullworthian #Truthbomb consists of the idiotic crap of the kind you see in HuffP areas -- "But the Crusades." "But, but, Jim Crow."
"Get off your High Horses, Christians. Don't you know something something monk on Cosmos?"
This is not a smart challenge. I think I'd actually appreciate a smart, thoughtful challenge to my #WhiteBiases, for no other reason than I am pro-thinking and enjoy feeling my brain at work.
But Obama doesn't deliver that; Obama delivers the same low-IQ, trite, Marxism for Dummies shit that all glittering mediocrities like himself traffic in, for they can not manage any better.
Charles Krauthammer makes this point, mostly, when he says Obama's remarks were simultaneously "banal and offensive," and says further that these remarks are "adolescent."
Indeed. These are the Deep Thoughts of the Fourteen Year Old.
But I would go one step further. All fourteen year olds are not alike; some are clever and bookish and and full of interesting ideas (if not yet any wisdom).
And some are rather dull-witted and just want to sound like they may be clever. And these slow-witted 14-year-olds tend to just repeat, in a twittering high pitched pre-pubescent voice, a dumbed-down version of Recieved Wisdom they've heard from "Cool Adults."
All the "Cool Adults" the adolescent Obama knew were radicals and communists, and he has done far more pot than thinking since he heard these banal cliches, so what you're hearing is Obama straining to remember, through a pottish haze, what his dull 14-year-old boy brain heard from his communist benefactors in the late sixties and early seventies.
