And that’s exactly what he would like to be, and tries to be-a king.

Rose, Obama has this Kipling poem near the top of my reading list:

Three things make earth unquiet
And four she cannot brook
The godly Augur counted them
And put them in a book –
Those Four Tremendous Curses
With which mankind is cursed;
But a Servant when He Reigneth
Old Augur entered first.

An Handmaid that is Mistress
We need not call upon.
A Fool when he is full of Meat
Will fall asleep anon.
An Odious Woman Married
May bear a babe and mend;
But a Servant when He Reigneth Is Confusion to the end.

****

His vows are lightly spoken,
His faith is hard to bind,
His trust is easy broken,
He fears his fellow-kind.
The nearest mob will move him
To break the pledge he gave –
Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth
Is more than ever slave!

Speaking of the Obama Administration,

“What do you do when an entire nation begins to lose the capacity to
think rationally?  Many Americans spend a great deal of time criticizing
the government, and there is certainly a lot to complain about, but it
is not just the government that is the problem.  All over America,
people appear to be going insane.  It is almost as if we have been
cursed with stupidity.  Sadly, this applies from the very top of our
society all the way down to the very bottom.  A lot of us find ourselves
asking the following question much more frequently these days: “How
could they be so stupid?”  Unfortunately, we are witnessing a complete
collapse of common sense all over America.  Many people seem to believe
that if we could just get Obama out of office or if we could just reform
our economic system that our problems as a nation would be solved, but
that is simply not true.  Our problems run much deeper than that.  The
societal decay that is plaguing our country is very deep and it is
everywhere.  We are a nation that is full of people that do not care
about others and that just want to do what is right in their own eyes. 
We hold ourselves out to the rest of the world as “the greatest nation
on earth” and an example that everyone else should follow, and yet our
own house is rotting all around us.  The words “crazy”, “insane” and
“deluded” are not nearly strong enough to describe our frame of mind as a
country.  America has become a sad, delusional old man that can’t even
think straight anymore.  The evidence of our mental illness is everywhere.”

Here is the article. I could certainly think of some better examples, but these will have to do for now.

Insanity is over organizing anything, be it a nation, a home, or one’s own mind. No need for decisions in the moment, the rules override any decisions. If birds tried to make a rule for every movement of the wind, they’d all have to walk south and they’d die before they got there. So, there we are.
 

It’s mostly the pretense of love, while using others for our aims, which make us see them as tormenting devils, if they refuse to cooperate.

However, my darling Pagan, love creates no pretenders to its throne.

Thanks for that.
