John Kerry, mired in the swamps of thought… 

John Kerry was encouraged to put words together a few days ago by Massachusetts’ SouthCoast Today, reported at this link to ABC News Online.  Kerry is delighted about the possibility of electing an African-American President, and he dropped his opinion with his usual leaden, boat-anchor eloquence:

It would be such an affirmation of who we say we are as a people.  If we could elect an African-American president, young leader, who is obviously visionary about the ability to inspire people.

Dazzling analysis, John.  Kerry has declined from pandering simpleton to obsequious fart nozzle without anyone noticing.  Elect a guy who affirms what we say we are, not what we are, especially one who is visionary about (the) ability to inspire people.   Not A visionary himself, as a noun, not a visionary as an adjective, but a visionary about ability.  Or this:

(Obama would) “in some cases go around (in Muslim countries) their dictator leaders to the people, and inspire the people in ways we can’t do otherwise.”

I see.   Elude the mullahs and purity squads in a black robe, take a quick perambulation around Teheren or Mecca, stopping for a cup at Starbucks, or a plum at an adultery stoning, all the while inspiring the visionary abilities of Raji-Six-Pack.  Hmmm.  Oh, and this:

“He has the ability to bridge the divide of religious extremism. …To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical interpretation of a legitimate religion…Because he’s African-Amercan.  Because he’s a black man.  Who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country”.

This is terribly difficult, and I’m glad he sorted it out.  Kerry confers legitimacy on Islam and, therefore,  illegitimacy on Islamists, the folks who are yearning for Obama’s healing touch;  and Obama is empowered because he’s a repressed (get therapy, Obama) black man who grew up oppressed on the mean streets of Hawaii, and screamed in silent agony at such degrading downscale pits as the Harvard Law Review.   Given enough time, Kerry would have stereotyped Obama into bringing cold watermelon to sun-scorched Saudis.

Please, Massachusetss, stop watering this houseplant.  Let it wilt and return to the soil .  Why in God’s name, with your great traditions of reformism, art, literature, radical individualism and patriotism, do you CONTINUE to send this facile moron to the Senate?

There HAS to be some criterion for his re-election other than lucidity, or the greater good of knowing that he’s not in Massachusetts; or even that his daily mental and verbal aberrations are a wellspring of laughs.   But maybe it’s even worse….a pitiful, hard-scrabble New England mass neurosis, pushing up through your rocky soil,  compels you to vote for John Forbes Kerry, over and over?  

Dismiss the Shi’ia - Sunni disputes over ritual and Mohammadean lineage, the intellectualized radicalism of Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood, colonial border craziness, tribalism,  grievances with modernity, the complete Islamist philosophies of Bin Laden and others, failed assimilation, Muslim assertiveness in Europe and elsewhere…damn, forget it all.  Obama is black, Obama is visionary about ability, and with a pair of good shoes, he can “go around” Islamic despots and re-legitimize Islam. Mary Mother of God.   And this idiot votes in the American Senate.
