Ah hello Freepers, Up until a few days ago, I was an eyore. Yep. It looked grim..but something funny happened. And it happened in spite of the pundits, the Axelrods and the Obama spin machine. The people of America took a hard look at the messiah the supposed "learned classes" mean to foist on us, and they thought it over, and answered: "nope". See, America's a land of few words once we make our mind up. You can tell real Americans...we are the strong, silent types. When we move...we move mountains, liberate nations, even save the world thrice in the last century. We have elected all manner of great men to the Presidency, some were more accomplished than others..But they were all elected because they had done something noteworthy. So, what has Mr. Obama done? He was that peculiar brand of person known as a "community organizer". I've known their type. Once you get past all the rhetoric, and the silly ideas, of which there are several, you find these things to be true:
1) They haven't a clue about how real people live and work. The only circles they run in are populated by either their own punching their tickets on the way to better things, or the people who they supposedly champion in between being media darlings and using their plight to further their own agenda. They're utopians who have no clue that everything they think is new has been tried before (having a BA in history allows me to say that).
2) They have this idea that the individual does not matter, only the group and god help you if you do not fit their pre-concived notion of what you should be as a member of that group. For supposedly tolerant people, they have a convert's zeal to make sure everyone else agrees with them. Heaven help the rest of us if they do truely get angry enough to do something dumb in the name of those beliefs.
3) Their beliefs trunp reality: They've viewed the world through the unique prism of a marxist dialectic for so long, they are incapable of any other point of view. They see Obama as more than a flawed, mediocre being, they see him as a historical force, living proof of the truth of historical inevitability. Finally, they shout "Socialism will finally get it's fair chance!". As if the 100 million dead souls from the 70 years of experimentation with the more extreme forms was not enough proof of the folly of this belief.
So this is what they face. They have ideological blinders on, and they can't see the fact that the halo wasn't there to begin with, that their messiah would send their trust-funded selves to the same wall that he would happily send the rest of us to. Because, like them, he believes his accident of birth gives him that right..unlike them however...he sees those trust-funders as useful idiots to his path to power. They will be purged, right along with the allies of Clinton, who were outmanuvered by this cipher of a man.
But Mr Obama forgot something...he forgot something very important in his march towards his inevitable destiny.
He forgot us. Now, get out there and vote...and let's remind him that inevitability is a crock!
You think they would know better. Kerry handed them the appetizer last election.
Fantastic! I agree 100%.
“You can tell real Americans...we are the strong, silent types. When we move...we move mountains, liberate nations, even save the world thrice in the last century.” actually brought a tear to my eye.
I like you. I really, really like you!
To see their tears dripping from their faces will bring much entertainment for Tuesday night. :-)
What will Matthews look like without the tingle?
Hear Hear!!
Viva La McCain/Palin’08!
Only if it helps them swallow more crow.
The screams of "Racism!" and "Stolen Election!" will be reduced to mumbles.
EXCELLENT!
