Anyone would think we had just elected a hip, skinny and youthful replacement for God, with a plan to modernise Heaven and Hell – or that at the very least John Lennon had come back from the dead.
The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation. At least Mandela-worship – its nearest equivalent – is focused on a man who actually did something.
I really don’t see how the Obama devotees can ever in future mock the Moonies, the Scientologists or people who claim to have been abducted in flying saucers. This is a cult like the one which grew up around Princess Diana, bereft of reason and hostile to facts.
It already has all the signs of such a thing. The newspapers which recorded Obama’s victory have become valuable relics. You may buy Obama picture books and Obama calendars and if there isn’t yet a children’s picture version of his story, there soon will be.
Proper books, recording his sordid associates, his cowardly voting record, his astonishingly militant commitment to unrestricted abortion and his blundering trip to Africa, are little-read and hard to find.
If you can believe that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything. He plainly doesn’t believe it himself. His cliche-stuffed, PC clunker of an acceptance speech suffered badly from nerves. It was what you would expect from someone who knew he’d promised too much and that from now on the easy bit was over.

The Democrats party is the party of good is bad and bad is good and now its staring to affect Republicans too.
I’m sorry ... but that Acceptance Speech sounded like, CHAUNCEY the GARDNER from “BEING THERE”
One of Peter Sellers last movies (if not his Last)
Nothing new about that...
Right is wrong, but wrong is right has been the Democrat meme for a long time now. And the media has pushed it at EVERY turn.
It also goes a long way to explaining why the left fears Right media so mch, from talk radio, to Free Republic. We DARE to stand in the way.
Dan! The truth can sometimes be painful.

Yeah.......well I hope that they realize that when the chickens come home to rooooosssstttt, they will be in their backyard too
Is this Peter Hitchens related to Christopher?
Dan!=Dang!
Or Vladimir Lenin.
Obama’s election is the final culmination of affirmative action. The American people awarded the presidency to a man with no experience, no qualifications, and no achievement, over a man who has decades of experience, obvious qualifications, and achievements and service to this country almost unequaled. And why was Obama given this honor? Because he is black and a slick talker.
What a sad day for America!
Hmmm...if I were Peter Hitchens, I’d watch my back. The Obots are out and energized.

His brother. (Minus the booze.)
So Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Pie? Another piece? Sorry, there’s no pie left.
He tells it like it is. Well said.
This is a good article.
“America” is now nothing more than a land mass populated by cretins and parasites who expect government to hand them “free” stuff, confiscated from their neighbors for God’s sake, in exchange for their votes.
I don’t even feel like an “American” anymore. The real America is dead and gone.
I just live here.
It was a grand experiment, though, and I bet the founders would be astonished that it lasted as long as it did.
Every man for himself!
