I'm so jealous of you people sometimes, goddamnit I never get any good emails. I have conservative relatives, but they don't send emails. The best I can do is an occasional mother-in-law email about Al Qaeda hacking FarmVille or something, but that's pretty rare.

Got this one today: [quote: Retarded family member] A Stranger in Our Midst By Robert Weissberg As the Obama administration enters its second year, I -- and undoubtedly millions of others -- have struggled to develop a shorthand term that captures our emotional unease. Defining this discomfort is tricky. I reject nearly the entire Obama agenda, but the term "being opposed" lacks an emotional punch. Nor do terms like "worried" or "anxious" apply. I was more worried about America's future during the Johnson or Carter years, so it's not that dictionary, either. Nor, for that matter, is this about backroom odious deal-making and pork, which are endemic in American politics. After auditioning countless political terms, I finally realized that the Obama administration and its congressional collaborators almost resemble a foreign occupying force, a coterie of politically and culturally non-indigenous leaders whose rule contravenes local values rooted in our national tradition. It is as if the United States has been occupied by a foreign power, and this transcends policy objections. It is not about Obama's birthplace. It is not about race, either; millions of white Americans have had black mayors and black governors, and this unease about out-of-synch values never surfaced. The term I settled on is "alien rule" -- based on outsider values, regardless of policy benefits -- that generates agitation. This is what bloody anti-colonial strife was all about. No doubt, millions of Indians and Africans probably grasped that expelling the British guaranteed economic ruin and even worse governance, but at least the mess would be their mess. Just travel to Afghanistan and witness American military commanders' efforts to enlist tribal elders with promises of roads, clean water, dental clinics, and all else that America can freely provide. Many of these elders probably privately prefer abject poverty to foreign occupation since it would be their poverty, run by their people, according to their sensibilities. This disquiet was a slow realization. Awareness began with Obama's odd pre-presidency associations, decades of being oblivious to Rev. Wright's anti-American ranting, his enduring friendship with the terrorist guy-in-the-neighborhood Bill Ayers, and the Saul Alinsky-flavored anti-capitalist community activism. Further add a hazy personal background -- an Indonesian childhood, shifting official names, and a paperless-trail climb through elite educational institutions. None of this disqualified Obama from the presidency; rather, this background just doesn't fit with the conventional political résumé. It is just the "outsider?" quality that alarms. For all the yammering about George W. Bush's privileged background, his made-in-the-USA persona was absolutely indisputable. John McCain might be embarrassed about his Naval Academy class rank and iffy combat performance, but there was never any doubt of his authenticity. Countless conservatives despised Bill Clinton, but nobody ever, ever doubted his good-old-boy American bonafides. The suspicion that Obama is an outsider, a figure who really doesn't "get" America, grew clearer from his initial appointments. What "native" would appoint Kevin Jennings, a militant gay activist, to oversee school safety? Or permit a Marxist rabble-rouser to be a "green jobs czar"? How about an Attorney General who began by accusing Americans of cowardice when it comes to discussing race? And who can forget Obama's weird defense of his pal Louis Henry Gates from "racist" Cambridge, Massachusetts cops? If the American Revolution had never occurred and the Queen had appointed Obama Royal Governor (after his distinguished service in Kenya), a trusted locally attuned aide would have first whispered in his ear, "Mr. Governor General, here in America, we do not automatically assume that the police were at fault," and the day would have been saved. And then there's the "we are sorry, we'll never be arrogant again" rhetoric seemingly designed for a future President of the World election campaign. What made Obama's Cairo utterances so distressing was how they grated on American cultural sensibilities. And he just doesn't notice, perhaps akin to never hearing Rev. Wright anti-American diatribes. An American president does not pander to third-world audiences by lying about the Muslim contribution to America. Imagine Ronald Reagan, or any past American president, trying to win friends by apologizing. This appeal contravenes our national character and far exceeds a momentary embarrassment about garbled syntax or poor delivery. Then there's Obama's bizarre, totally unnecessary deep bowing to foreign potentates. Americans look foreign leaders squarely in the eye and firmly shake hands; we don't bow. But far worse is Obama's tone-deafness about American government. How can any ordinary American, even a traditional liberal, believe that jamming through unpopular, debt-expanding legislation that consumes one-sixth of our GDP, sometimes with sly side-payments and with a thin majority, will eventually be judged legitimate? This is third-world, maximum-leader-style politics. That the legislation was barely understood even by its defenders and vehemently championed by a representative of that typical American city, San Francisco, only exacerbates the strangeness. And now President Obama sides with illegal aliens over the State of Arizona, which seeks to enforce the federal immigration law to protect American citizens from marauding drug gangs and other miscreants streaming in across the Mexican border. Reciprocal public disengagement from President Obama is strongly suggested by recent poll data on public trust in government. According to a recent Pew report, only 22% of those asked trust the government always or most of the time, among the lowest figures in half a century. And while pro-government support has been slipping for decades, the Obama presidency has sharply exacerbated this drop. To be sure, many factors (in particular the economic downturn) contribute to this decline, but remember that Obama was recently elected by an often wildly enthusiastic popular majority. The collapse of trust undoubtedly transcends policy quibbles or a sluggish economy -- it is far more consistent with a deeper alienation. Perhaps the clearest evidence for this "foreigner in our midst" mentality is the name given our resistance -- tea parties, an image that instantly invokes the American struggle against George III, a clueless foreign ruler from central casting. This history-laden label was hardly predetermined, but it instantly stuck (as did the election of Sen. Scott Brown as "the shot heard around the world" and tea partiers dressing up in colonial-era costumes). Perhaps subconsciously, Obama does remind Americans of when the U.S. was really occupied by a foreign power. A Declaration of Independence passage may still resonate: "HE [George III] has erected a Multitude of new Offices [Czars], and sent hither Swarms of Officers [recently hired IRS agents] to harass our People, and eat out the Substance." What's next? Robert Weissberg is Professor of Political Science-Emeritus, University of Illinois-Urbana. [/quote] I always reply to these, even though I know that it never gets through to them. How should I go about tackling this one?

Bit of a reach there considering at the time George III was the same nationality of most of them, they recognized them as their king and were protesting Parliament, not the King. But otherwise, completely accurate!

quote:The suspicion that Obama is an outsider quote:Perhaps the clearest evidence for this "foreigner in our midst" mentality quote:Perhaps subconsciously, Obama does remind Americans of when the U.S. was really occupied by a foreign power. I have a bachelor's in film. One of the things they make you do in film school it tedious, horrible film criticism classes. For the most part they utterly suck. Yes, I know what the use of the color orange means in the Godfather, not because I was a film student, but because I have seen the loving movie. Having said that, the one criticism class I enjoyed was Intro to Horror. They talk a lot about the evolution of the horror film, how they become more prevalent when the populace is scared about real world events (WWI, WWII, Vietnam, The Cold War, and then again after 9/11) and the one real gripe I had was the focus on female victimization, which I think petered out after the advent of Ripley and absolutely was gone by the time Buffy hit the scene. All of which is a long winded way to get to my point: The Horror Film is all about The Other. It's all about focusing fear on an undefinable or unbeatable OTHER, which is basically what this e-mail equates Obama to. Frankenstein accidentally kills a woman because he doesn't know his own strength. The mob kills him. Nosferatu was LITERALLY an other, a creature from another place preying on the women in his path. The Werewolf was a normal man transfigured to a beast (as all men occasionally are). Rosemary's husband allows his wife to be raped by Satan and give birth to a horned being for his own personal gain. She is betrayed, raped by an Other, gives birth to an Other. Texas Chainsaw Massacre? A family of Others. Honestly, I could go on and on through the pantheon of Others that are meant to scare us, but it's absurdly late, and I would love to get in to that in the morning if anyone is interested. BUT, the big thing I want to point out is that that original premise has bled over in to non-horror, to main stream action movies. Die Hard: loving Germans. Ever notice how McClane isn't interested in learning really why the bad guys are doing what they are doing? He just wants to make them talk so he can move around a little less detected. In the 80's, during the Cold War, we didn't have to invent a monster worse than the Russians/East Germans. This sufficed. And of course now vampires are all sparkly cuddly and just wanna love teenage girls so who would be afraid of them? OK, I am oversimplifying, but the ONE pre-9/11 movie that dealt with what is happening kinda now? Slammed as a xenophobic piece of bullshit, even though it was not only good but pretty spot on: The Siege. The Other in that movie was Islamic Extremists trying to blow up New York. Director Ed Zwick was vilified at the time as anti-Muslim though he was actually kinda right in this instance, though the film, as films do, took it to the extreme. Basically, this e-mail and the right wing mindset in general started me off on this tangent at 5AM, so gently caress them. My point is they are not just disagreeing with a President they dislike and didn't vote for, they are trying to turn him in to a literary trope of evil personified by their language. "He's not one of us" "he's different". These are age old loving stereotypes used to discriminate against An Other, and I don't necessarily wanna call it racist, so much as ingrained in modern society, because presented with their prejudices they will back off and claim NO NO NO, We only hate Frankenstein's monster because he ATTACKED, not because he was an abomination against God!

Ed Zwick, the director, also pointed out that half the bad guys in the movie are the American military and government, but you don't see the Pentagon out protesting at theaters.

For those emails mentioning how bad Obama is for the economy might want to point to this article. Also goes for how tax cuts spur job creation. http://www.nationaljournal.com/njmagazine/nj_20100515_5237.php?mrefid=site_search "If the economy produces jobs over the next eight months at the same pace as it did over the past four months, the nation will have created more jobs in 2010 alone than it did over the entire eight years of George W. Bush's presidency."

The funny thing about Fort Huachuca is that it is loving huge and there are roads that run through it, where your average citizen can drive through unfettered. It would take an insane amount of manpower and fencing to "secure" the entire fort, and as such they're not even going to try. My uncle and cousins drive through it all the time (they live in Sierra Vista) and there is no easy way to get around in that area without going through the Fort. Also I wonder if people sometimes forget that human rights and security are not essentially at odds with one another all the freaking time. Presumption of guilt based on nothing but the whims of the police is ridiculous.

They don't even consider that this horrible monster known as the rest of the United States doesn't believe that every guy standing outside of their home depot or selling orange by the on-ramp is an American Citizen that they're all just race-hating on. We do understand that yes, the vast majority of illegal immigrants you're dealing with are latino in nationality/look/race/whatever. What you're not understanding is that there's a baseline of civil liberties that you don't get to cross just because it's palatable to white voters. The outrage isn't over the rest of us not realizing you have a problem with a latino face on it. The outrage is over the fact that the solutions you've come up with are knee-jerk laziness that stomp on national values.

She gets personal service to school now, as the school district refuses to enter the gated community in which we live. Oh no, his daughter was in close proximity to a bunch of filthy illegals!

Oh no a cop pulled someone over on the side of the road and I saw a helicopter circling! There's trash dumped in the woods, white people NEVER do that! Guess I'm facing down the danger every day too.

I honestly have to wonder what its like to be that paranoid and fearful on a day to day basis. One would think the stress would literally kill you.
