My respose to both the above is the same thing. Sure there are discontent
people everywhere, some people's mode of life is to be discontent. The point is
this, and I am a bit frustrated in trying to express it because it is quite
clear I am not doing a good job ... so let me try, as you say, to clarify...
The point is this ...There are a lot of people who put confidence in their
guns and in their religion. You can count me in that and don't ask what my
religion is because I won't tell you. And there are a lot o people who are
discontent (and you may NOT count me among those). But the two have NOTHING TO DO
WITH EACH OTHER. Obama's tragic flaw is that he thinks they do. He is saying
people put confidence in guns and religion BECAUSE they are politically
discontent. That is not only unwise an bigoted, but it is extremely stupid.
Let me recap before I go on. Yes, there are people as he describes who put
confidence in guns and religion, do not put confidence in government, and are
politically discontent. But the conclusion that the one is BECAUSE of the
other is his bias and mindset. And it is deeply offensive.
