America May Be In A Dour Condition,

Hurtling The Pentagon Into An Unprecedented Budgetary Meltdown Is Horrifically Irresponsible. Obama Doesn't Care. This Is War - Not Against The Taliban, But War Against The Gop. He Has Republicans On The Ropes, And That's A Victory He Savors And Desires - Unlike Afghanistan, Where He Seems Only To Want To Turn Tail.

Obama Is Talking To Voters As Though He Is Their Boss, Or Their Principal, Or Their Father. He Is Not Any Of Those Things. He Is Their Employee. And Employers Don't Like It When Their Employees Yell At Them - Even If Their Employees Have It Right.

Obama Lost His Ability To Push His Agenda Through Congress When He Received What He Himself Called A 'shellacking' In The November 2010 Elections. That Shellacking Was Primarily The Result Of Massive Policy Overreach When He Had A Democratic Congress In His Pocket.

I Don't Feel Alienated From American Culture, But I Understand People Who Do.

You Want A Culture Where Citizens Are Free To Express Themselves And So Live In The Openness Necessary To The Functioning Of A Successful Economy? Israel Has A Free Press, Much Of It Openly Hostile To The Parties In Power.
