What Boomers Actually Believe: John McCain Denounces Tillerson for Failure to Bow to Values and Principles

Whatever it is that has happened to Trump, he has made it 100% clear that he is ready and willing to bend and break on anything that is asked of him by the establishment.

It seems that Rex Tillerson may be the next target.

Tillerson is pretty much a yes man, but he did sign-up on a plan to be friends with Russia, which has since been flushed down the toilet.

John McCain’s op-ed attacking him this morning is the sappiest load of horseshit I’ve ever read. It’s simply unfathomable that these psychopaths are able to say this stuff with a straight face – to present mass murder and world war as a moral imperative to care for the innocent victims of the world.

Because of values and principles.

McCain writes for New York Times:

SOME years ago, I heard Natan Sharansky, the human rights icon, recount how he and his fellow refuseniks in the Soviet Union took renewed courage from statements made on their behalf by President Ronald Reagan. Word had reached the gulag that the leader of the most powerful nation on earth had spoken in defense of their right to self-determination. America, personified by its president, gave them hope, and hope is a powerful defense against oppression.

Natan Sharansky was a Ukrainian Jewish political revolutionary in the USSR.

He was sent to a gulag.

He is now the head of the Jewish Agency for Israel, the largest Jewish non-profit in the world.

As I listened to Mr. Sharansky, I was reminded how much it had meant to my fellow P.O.W.s and me when we heard from new additions to our ranks that Mr. Reagan, then the governor of California, had often defended our cause, demanded our humane treatment and encouraged Americans not to forget us.

Whereas you read something like this, and laugh, and maybe think of this gif (pronounced “gif” – “jif” is a “peanut butter” made of partially-hydrogenated soybean oil, Morrakiu):

Boomers eat it up.

They love this “muh America, muh freedoms, muh values and principles.”

Like, they actually feel real emotions about these things.

John McCain has based his entire career on this. And by any measure, the man has been very successful.

In their continuous efforts to infect us with despair and dissolve our attachment to our country, our North Vietnamese captors insisted the American government and people had forgotten us. We were on our own, they taunted, and at their mercy. We clung to evidence to the contrary, and let it nourish our hope that we would go home one day with our honor intact.

That hope was the mainstay of our resistance. Many, maybe most of us, might have given in to despair, and ransomed our honor for relief from abuse, had we truly believed we had been forgotten by our government and countrymen.

All evidence – including accounts from his fellow inmates – points to McCain having actually been a traitor.

Here’s a good article about that.

This tape is also probably real.

John McCain has spent his entire political career betraying America, so it is almost unbelievable that his military career wouldn’t have been spent the same way.

In a recent address to State Department employees, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said conditioning our foreign policy too heavily on values creates obstacles to advance our national interests. With those words, Secretary Tillerson sent a message to oppressed people everywhere: Don’t look to the United States for hope. Our values make us sympathetic to your plight, and, when it’s convenient, we might officially express that sympathy. But we make policy to serve our interests, which are not related to our values. So, if you happen to be in the way of our forging relationships with your oppressors that could serve our security and economic interests, good luck to you. You’re on your own.

There are those who will credit Mr. Tillerson’s point of view as a straightforward if graceless elucidation of a foreign policy based on realism. If by realism they mean policy that is rooted in the world as it is, not as we wish it to be, they couldn’t be more wrong.

I consider myself a realist. I have certainly seen my share of the world as it really is and not how I wish it would be. What I’ve learned is that it is foolish to view realism and idealism as incompatible or to consider our power and wealth as encumbered by the demands of justice, morality and conscience.

That is the boomer philosophy in a nutshell, right there.

Both left and right.

We have to save the world because of feel-good sappy nonsense about how we have the great democratic values.

And we’ll kill as many people as we need to, bury our own children in as much debt as we need to, completely destroy our own history, to get this done.

Because it just feels so good.

Instead of writing this crappy op-ed, John McCain could have just released a tape of himself singing John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

And look, it just goes on and on:

In the real world, as lived and experienced by real people, the demand for human rights and dignity, the longing for liberty and justice and opportunity, the hatred of oppression and corruption and cruelty is reality. By denying this experience, we deny the aspirations of billions of people, and invite their enduring resentment.

America didn’t invent human rights. Those rights are common to all people: nations, cultures and religions cannot choose to simply opt out of them.

[Citation needed].

In actual fact, “Human Rights” were invented by the UN.

Leftist scholars will try to draw the concept back to the Magna Carta, but it’s a hard sell.

And hey – even if you could draw it back to the Magna Carta, that certainly doesn’t include all nations, cultures and religions. And it most certainly doesn’t entail a right – or a duty, as McCain wants you to believe – to force them onto the whole world against their will.

Human rights exist above the state and beyond history. They cannot be rescinded by one government any more than they can be granted by another. They inhabit the human heart, and from there, though they may be abridged, they can never be extinguished.

Again:

THIS IS WHAT BABY BOOMERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE.

The entire universe – outside of all history – exists simply to make them feel good with sappy gibberish.

We are a country with a conscience. We have long believed moral concerns must be an essential part of our foreign policy, not a departure from it. We are the chief architect and defender of an international order governed by rules derived from our political and economic values. We have grown vastly wealthier and more powerful under those rules. More of humanity than ever before lives in freedom and out of poverty because of those rules.

Our values are our strength and greatest treasure. We are distinguished from other countries because we are not made from a land or tribe or particular race or creed, but from an ideal that liberty is the inalienable right of mankind and in accord with nature and nature’s Creator.

To view foreign policy as simply transactional is more dangerous than its proponents realize. Depriving the oppressed of a beacon of hope could lose us the world we have built and thrived in. It could cost our reputation in history as the nation distinct from all others in our achievements, our identity and our enduring influence on mankind. Our values are central to all three.

Were they not, we would be one great power among the others of history. We would acquire wealth and power for a time, before receding into the disputed past. But we are a more exceptional country than that.

We saw the world as it was and we made it better.

So there you have it.

This is what our parents did to us.

It is why we are where we are right now.

A philosophy of war derived from “Imagine.”

Candyland diplomacy.

This is what we did not want.

But it is what we got.

May God have mercy on us, the poor bastard Children of the Lollipop Generation.

NOTE: Obviously, just as when I write about women or maybe even black people (though not Jews), I don’t necessary mean “all boomers.” So, to my boomer readers: don’t catch a feel.

Anyway, this was a generational identity. It was a sociological phenomenon. No individual can be blamed for the boomer ideology.

I personally blame the Jews.

However, the fact that people did believe this soda-pop sunshine horseshit is true. And the boomers still do believe it. Many of them will be moved by McCain’s op-ed. That is a real thing.
