A state-liberal friend tells me that if you google “Obama betray* America,” you’ll get no fewer than 46,300,000 hits. I tried it just now and actually got 61,600,000 hits.

Regrettably, however, most of these hits seem to be accusing Obama of betraying America. None of them seem to be imperatives calling for Obama to betray America.

So let this be the first. After all, at his inauguration Obama vowed to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” which is an unjust job, and to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which is an unjust document. Like his predecessors, he is morally obligated to repudiate these vows (thus betraying “America,”considered as a state entity), make restitution for his crimes, and work to establish a stateless society.
