One day after vowing to battle Holocaust Denial, President Obama has
publicly
denied
the Armenian Holocaust .
In an exhibit of hypocrisy matched only by
the
“Anti-Defamation” League's Abraham Foxman's denial
of the Armenian Holocaust ,
President Obama has dishonored anniversary of the start of the genocide
by releasing a statement describing the Armenian Holocaust as an
“atrocity.”
Apparently, to President Obama, history is something to be twisted to
the wishes of those who hold more power. Obama, like Foxman,
values the cooperation of the Government of Turkey more than he values
the principles that give rise to the dictum: “Never
again!”
By denying the Armenian Holocaust, President Obama broke
yet
another campaign promise .
We can now add “Holocaust Denial” to the long list
of his other disappointments: the abandonment of single payer health
care insurance, the escalation of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the
failure to address “Don't ask, don't tell,” the
failure to produce a stimulus plan that aides American workers, the
failure to oppose outsourcing of American jobs, and the failure
prosecute those who ordered and participated in torture.
As if these broken promises were not enough, President Obama has sought
to
defend and expand the NSA's ability to spy upon Americans ,
give the Government the ability
to
search personal computers at will ,
and
to
shut down the Internet at will .
Despite these grievous violations of our trust, the American left has
failed to organize against President Obama's Administration.
Shall we add ourselves to the list of American hypocrites?
