I always want to honor McCain for having served five years in a cage for us, but I keep coming up short. I keep seeing him as "damaged goods." I mean, put me in a cage for ten seconds and I'm bitching about for the rest of my life, right? What sort of abyss did John peer into in that cage, what did torture do to him, was he victimized, and how has that informed his "war policies?" Is there a massive knot of hate at the ready? The guard dogs of the military are killed rather than recycled into civilian life -- it would simply cost too much to deprogram them. Ask Pavlov about dogs and men.
I keep thinking McCain's got somethin'a'brewin' in thar -- especially after his "100 more years in Iraq is okay with me" statement. I'll tell ya, all these folks going around calling Obama a Muslim because of some school he attended 30 years ago sure as hell should look at what "schooled" McCain's mind in that cage. What about Patricia Hearst turning into Tanya aren't we getting? Do we want a president who has "all the reasons he needs" to "nuke the gooks, er, ragheads," and "kick their ass and steal their gas?" I know how the tragedies of my life are handcuffing my "best intents" daily, and I have nothing so dark as John's cage in my past. He might be a spiritual giant who "could handle the truth, er, purifying tapas," but I just don't see it in his presentations. I see him "stooped," "bent," and deeply fatigued -- I don't know how he keeps truckin' but it's all too easy to think that there's some black engine of hate driving him. That said, what about "being raised a Black Man in America" am I ignoring here? Obama must have, as virtually every Black American has, a motivating dynamic that whites-cannot-know. I don't feel that that rancor is very near "his surface," so I'm still cutting him a break, but, by GAWD, I'd bet a ton of money that it's there, and all the more power to him that it seemingly is something he's got clarity about. Fingers crossed here -- all the tyrants were good rabble rousers -- but, hey, maybe it takes a bit of the devil to have an ego that gladly seeks power. Maybe the good guys can't get it up for the fights and must necessarily watch some hot-shot go-to guy come off the bench and score a touchdown....Jesse Jackson might be biting his tongue until it bleeds, ya know?
