The Limitations of Irony and Snark

“Through its policies toward Israel on the one hand and Iran and Syria on the other, the Obama administration demonstrates that it has already accepted a nuclear Iran. Its chief concern today is to avoid being blamed when the mushroom clouds appear in the sky. And it may well achieve that aim. After all, how could the administration be blamed for a nuclear Iran when it has wholly devoted its efforts to advancing the righteous cause of peace?”

When humanity's last best hope is assaulted from without, America has prevailed time and time again. But when America is assaulted from without while aided by a vast alliance of hubris, self-righteousness, ignorance, and possibly malevolence from within, it is time to set aside inadequate measures. Irony and snark can't make a dent in the euphoria of "hope and change" mysticism.

Our government and large portions of our mainstream society is in thrall to the culture of celebrity at a time when our Nation is desperate for common sense and clarity of vision. It is one thing, albeit a seriously bad thing, to screw with the financial well being of the Nation. It is quite another to screw with the Nation's continued existence.

The proliferation of nuclear weapons to those whose principal aim is to destroy Western civilization is not a viable option for the United States to endure. That is not irony. That is not snark. That is a fact.
