Crouching America, Hidden Chinese Dragon, Part Two

Crouching America, Hidden Chinese Dragon, Part Two
Merriam-webster.com defines “crouch” as follows: intransitive verb 1 a : to lower the body stance especially by bending the legs b : to lie close to the ground with the legs bent 2 : to bend or bow servilely : cringe 3 : to stand at a low height transitive verb : to bow especially in humility or fear; bend

I posed a question at the end of Part One: “Is Obama’s crouching, bowing, and scraping to foreign leaders all part of our socialistic leader’s stated intent of wealth distribution not just to America’s needy but to the planet?”

Obviously, I don’t know the answer to that query. I can’t read the man’s mind, I can only judge him by his actions and words.

We do know, the world knows because we have witnessed it, that our president has an affinity for bowing to foreign leaders and potentates. Whether those actions merely reflect an innate humility–which is counterintuitive–or an abject sense of subservience–which is repugnant and unprecedented for an American president–is as yet unclear.

What we also know is that, despite his naïveté about the nuances of foreign relations, that Obama is a committed internationalist who implicitly trusts in the gentle graces of the most corrupt institution in the history of international bodies, the United Nations.

We know, too, that he inclines toward socialism and “sharing the wealth,” that wealth being the hard-earned wealth of Americans and America.

So, where do we go from here? . . .
