Obama insults our intelligence on civil liberties

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

01/29/14

In last night s state of the union, an uncharacteristically boring speech climaxing in a bipartisan tribute to sacrificial militarism, the president had very little to say about civil liberties, one of the main focuses of his campaign in 2008. He uttered less than a paragraph. And with every word, he treated us like we re all idiots...

Is Barack Obama a tyrant?

The American Prospect
by Paul Waldman

01/29/14

A typical State of the Union address is criticized for being a 'laundry list,' little more than an endless string of proposals the president would like to see enacted. The criticism usually has two parts: first, most of the items on the laundry list will never come to pass, and second, it makes for a boring speech...

Bully Nation

Yale Magrass and Charles Derber, Truthout: *The individual bully is the creation of the bully nation,* according to sociologists Yale Magrass and Charles Derber, who note that bullying Chris Christie-style is a product of a larger hegemonic ideology and culture of aggression.

Military Metaphysics: How Militarism Mangles the Mind

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: The US military has won the ideological war. The nation sees human and social problems as military problems. To fight terrorists Americans have become terrorists. Peace is for the weak. War is for the strong. Hypermasculinity has triumphed over empathy.

The Myth of Human Progress and the Collapse of Complex Societies

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: The most prescient portrait of the American character and our ultimate fate as a species is found in Herman Melville s Moby-Dick. Melville makes our murderous obsessions, our hubris, violent impulses, moral weakness and inevitable self-destruction visible in his chronicle of a whaling voyage.

Obama, the reluctant realist

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

01/31/14

Individuals make history, but sometimes the process reverses itself and history makes individuals. President Barack Obama may have wanted to bomb Syria, and he certainly did want to meddle in Libya, where the results of his disastrous 'humanitarian' intervention backfired badly, and yet his presidency will go down in history as a moment when American imperialism hit the pause button. This is not to negate his interventionist record or ambitions: it is only to say that the ability of the United States to intervene massively has run up against the inherent limitations of such a policy. This is underscored by the foreign policy section of President Obama s State of the Union speech...
