The noxious Gnostic Mystery of Obamianity

Mickey Kaus gives his review of Obama’s speech. When he gets to this point in the speech, he asks three very important questions.

Obama:

As such, Reverend Wright's comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity;

Kaus:

Doesn't Obama mean Rev. Wright's comments were 'not only divisive but wrong,' rather than the other way around?

Me: No! He means it exactly like that. And the answers to your next two questions take us to the promised land.

Kaus:

Isn't it worse to be wrong than "divisive"?

Me: Yes, for you and me. For Obama? No. Divisiveness is the most egregious sin.

Kaus:

Is unity the overriding virtue for Obama?

Me: YES!!!

This is exactly right.

I’m quoting myself again:

Obama wants unity. To disagree with Obama is a lack of unity. Any lack of unity is cynicism. And cynicism is as big an enemy as terrorists.

Mickey, I can only hope that your questions lead you to these answers. I believe they unlock the noxious Gnostic Mystery of Obamianity.
