Years ago, I read some Kipling. The poem, If, was one I remember. Then , of course, there was the Jungle Book and Kipling's short stories: the best being Ricki Ticky Tavi. As I was thinking of the USA today, I thought of the meaning of great literary efforts which try to analyse human activities on a universal level. The poem, If, should be read by the President. You will have to read the poem to show you why BHO should take this to heart. Now BHO would never have fit in to the great story of Gunga Din. Can you see this naif in the WH actually rescuing the USA , or our military from invading barbarians. No, he would rather deal with the tyrants in power instead of the people who are trying to reform, live up to their Constitution, or want to throw off real evil. Take Iran and its latest try and effort at getting the Iranian Thug either out of office or perhaps kicking the crazy mullahs out . Did the CIC tell the protestors, we are for you who want democratic change? No. He told the tyrant, 'we can deal with you.' No one will write of BHO, ' though I've beaten you and flayed you, by the living god that made you, you're a better man than I am Gunga Din.' My guess is, if he doesn't completely wreck the economy, dis our military, and undermine the entire capitalistic system we have been built upon, he will go down more like the villain in the Jungle Book, Sheer Kahn. Then look at Honduras. The Constitution there included the party, the military, rules for depositions,et al. The left wing tyrant, who now is trying to land his plane anywhere in Honduras and believe it or not will be welcome in DC by the Prez, wanted to change all the rules and be President for Life ala Chavez and or Castro. Now those are guys that Obama can deal with!!! In Ricki, the hero is a mongoose. The villain is a cobra. It seems to me that nowadays , the outgunned mongoose is the conservative opposition to the socialist pacifist but dangerous Leftist rulers now in the USA. Like a cobra, the Left strikes on all levels, at all types of people and culture: Cap and Trade, Health Care, Education Reform et al. Will the mongoose win out? Well Ricki was the victor but it took the whole story to get there. The lesson for us is will we persist to oppose the villain or will we collapse in disunity?
