Now that Illinois Sen. Barack Hussein Obama has concluded that Iran is a “tiny” country (like Venezuela and Cuba and, presumably, like Germany and Japan in the 1940s), and that we really ought be doing shots and beers with Iran’s rather compact little dictator, what else will he try slipping past bitter, God-fearing, Second Amendment loyalists along the campaign trail?

Global warming is a tired issue from the Clinton era. Global shrinkage, now that’s troubling.

Rev. Wright’s church isn’t as big as you think. It’s so tiny, I couldn’t find it most Sundays. And though Rev. Wright’s mouth is big, the hatred spewing from that mouth is really quite minuscule.

We should only raise taxes dramatically on a small number of people.

Chances are slim that every George W. Bush speech is not an attack on me.

Bill Ayers detonated very small bombs. The time I have spent around him was, indeed, tiny.

The threat to America posed by radical Islam? I’m thinking pretty small.

And, furthermore, why is Ted Kennedy still in the hospital? It was only a small seizure.

In fact, my fellow Americans, when you really stop and think about it, it’s a small world, after all.

(As the bands strikes up the Disney classic tune, Obama breaks into song)

It’s a world of NAFTA, a world of tears
It’s a world of dopes, who are shooting deers
Iran nukes? I don’t care
Are you folks not aware?
It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all
Give Tehran a friendly call
My VP should be Ron Paul
It’s a small, small world

There’s just one U.S. and one golden sun
And Barack means friendship toward everyone.
Ahmadinejad can’t hide
All that love trapped inside
It’s a small, small world

We try to laugh at the absurdity most days. Today we found it more difficult. Some days, words and deeds are absurd without being even mildly humorous. Today was one of those days.

The President of the United States, our President, my President, stood before the assembled today in Israel and correctly scolded those who would suggest we, the U.S. and its allies, can sit at the table of diplomacy and reason with terror mongers. A world away, in the U.S., in his petty, self-absorbed campaign bubble, Sen. Barack Hussein Obama lashed out at President George W. Bush for criticizing him (Obama’s interpretation) on the occasion of Israel’s 60th anniversary. Why not? Why not tell the world what Americans are up against while standing on soil too often scorched by terrorist bombs?

Barry, thou doth protest too much, no? You have no grasp of the dangers our nation faces because your mentors, Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, have for too long had you convinced that we, not they, are the enemy. Naturally, you cringe when Bush states the truth. Get ready. The political season is long and not for the weak of heart or thin of skin.

Meanwhile, in California, another challenge to the core values of America rears its head as four radical Supreme Court judges overturn the state’s ban on homosexual marriage today. The line for these so-called same-sex marriages forms to the left — the extreme radical left, to be precise.

So quite a day it was. Less than 24 hours after MSNBC lunatic Keith Olbermann’s convulsive, contemptuous rant against the Bush years, the hard-core liberal Left — Speaker Pelosi, Old Joe Biden, et al — were rushing to condemn the President for having the nerve to stand before the world to condemn their touchy feely view of the enemies of freedom and democracy and civility. And in California, the floodgates opened for those who are determined to defile the sacred institution of marriage, an institution that every civilized society in history has embraced.

The stalwart radio talk host Michael Savage reminded us tonight of the words of Cicero. They are ancient but they still ring true.

Cicero wrote: “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.”
