We must punish our (American) enemies!

Oct 25, 2010

We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.



Okay, so at first pass this might sound like a terrible gaffe, the kind of thuggish statement only a dirty union boss would utter. An average Joe might conclude that if he is a moderate or conservative Democrat that does not support ObamaCare, amnesty, cap and trade, card check, high taxes, massive debt and all things Big Government, then HE is “the enemy” and his “punishment” is coming.

Yes, we’ll give you that this sounds kind scary or even un-American, on the surface.

But don’t let the critics get you down, fellow Progressives! The truth is, this bit of oratory from The One, the Great Uniter, is actually oozing with clever political strategy! It’s just difficult sometimes for us plebes, saddled with the relative mental acuity of low-end baboons, to fully comprehend the brilliance our Dear Leader exudes with every passing breath.

You see, Obama was addressing a predominantly Latino audience when he made this remark, and Barry knows that things tend to get lost in translation when dealing with people who speak English as a second language. Thus, El Presidente simply crafted his message with words that would guarantee his message got through to his audience, that’s all!

So you can tell any right wingers you know, and anyone else up in arms about this statement on punishing dissenters, that Barry didn’t really mean “punish” in the conventional sense. No, no, no. What he meant, of course, was that he wants to “engage in constructive dialogue with those people whose inferior intellectual capacities prevent them from fully buying into the Glorious Obama Agenda so as to nudge them into a more Correct way of thinking.” But a long English sentence like that could be confusing to a largely Mexican audience, hence the shortened, simple-to-understand word, “punish,” was used.

So Tea Baggers and Blue Dogs can relax! It’s not like Barry’s gonna bust their knee caps or something!
