Charles Krauthammer: Obama's a leftist idealogue with an ideology of decline

Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, appearing on Frank Gaffney's show on Secure Freedom Radio earlier today, delivered the ultimate smackdown of President Barack Obama and perfectly nails him for what he indeed is - a leftist idealogue with an ideology of decline. This is a must-listen to:

Michael van der Galien elaborates on Krauthammer's comments:

[...] The conservative columnist proved he understands Obama completely. As I argued yesterday, conservatives are making a tragic mistake by mistaking the man for a pragmatist. He is not, he's a leftist ideologue.

Krauthammer understands that perfectly. He reminded Gaffney that Obama truly reveled in the praise of the world's most feared dictators and the standing ovation they gave him when he spoke to them at the United Nations, where he apologized for every single thing America had ever done.

That's bad, but what's even worse is that, as Krauthammer pointed out, this is a commander-in-chief who refuses to use the term "Islamic terrorism" and who pretends that underwear bomber Abdulmutallab was an "isolated individual." He wasn't. He was a member of Al Qaeda, and all those not blinded by some fancy ideological veil know it.

Sadly, the most powerful man on earth isn't one of them. No, he has his head buried firmly in the Utopian sand. He simply refuses to even entertain the thought of there being a serious problem with Islamic extremists. After all, to an ideological radical progressive, America is the source for all evil in the world. Non-Western terrorists are the "victims" of Western imperialism, not "aggressors" in a war they want.

Another good point Krauthammer made about Obama's political views, is that he's an adherent of "declinism," as all progressives are. This ideology of decline says that the U.S. has peaked and that things can only go down hill from here. China will - somehow logically - become the world's next superpower, while the U.S. will lose most of the power and influence it has today.

Obama clearly believes this as well.
