Altruism, or the sacrifice of values for lesser ones, or for none at all, has sired many of the most horrendous, treacherous crimes in history, committed in the name of a greater good. But, that is the nature of altruism: If values exist, altruism requires that they be sacrificed, destroyed, or discarded. Altruism, practiced consistently, is essentially nihilistic in nature. I grew tired very early on listening to the repeated, self-righteous nonsense that Americans have sacrificed their lives to fight for their country or to advance democracy in the world. Frankly, I am not interested in advancing democracy anywhere, in any country, not if it means the literal sacrifice of American lives and treasure. But if by chance Americans have lost their lives in such a moral adventure (a Progressive/Wilsonian term, and Woodrow Wilson was nothing if not a willing sacrificer), and if such a project were then abandoned (as Obama has abandoned Iraq), then, indeed those lives were sacrificed. An American fighting for his own country is not sacrificing anything. He is fighting to preserve a value, and putting his life at risk doing so. President Barack Obama is in competition with himself to see how malicious and destructive he can be. One is hard pressed to fashion a chart of every evil, consciously malign, deliberately pernicious action he has taken since assuming office six grueling years ago. The chart and accompanying list would be revealing and several pages long without annotations. Readers of my columns know that list all too well. However, if one wanted evidence of just how racist Obama is, all one need to is examine his policy of encouraging tens of thousands of Mexicans to enter the country illegally, and add to that violation of his oath of office his ancillary policy of encouraging the bussing of thousands of ignorant, disease-ridden Hondurans and other Central Americans into the country, with plans to resettle them in selected towns and cities across the country.
