Whole world will pay for America's electoral mistake
A young student friend e-mailed me on Tuesday night.
"Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots -- who cannot spell Barack Obama's name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies -- running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a bitch. I love democracy!"
Even so, the people spoke. A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.
A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meagre political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
WEAK TOWARD ENEMIES
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
Also a defeat for one of the weakest presidential candidates in living memory.
Why would anyone vote for a man who seemed incapable of outlining his policies and instead repeatedly emphasized a noble but, if we are candid, largely irrelevant war record?
He was joined by a woman who was defended so vehemently by her supporters when it was cuttingly evident that she is years away from being and perhaps never will be a serious candidate for senior national office.
Most of all it was a terrible defeat for democracy and the United States. A politician of nothing defeated a nothing politician and a credulous electorate screamed in adoration. I fear we will all suffer very much indeed.

Some of our neighbors have more sense than our fellow citizens (along with fictional characters, non-citizens, and Dallas Cowboys).
To quote Rev. Wright..”.America’s chickens will come home to roost”..but not for the reasons he said.
And with it's loud crash (another war in Europe?), America may wake up before it's too late.
Wow, I’d lock myself in my room too. He’s probably considered a deranged man.
The election was just a week ago, his administration does not even start until January, and I’m already tired of Obama.
I may not live to 100, but the next 4 years will probably feel like it.
Well said.
“America may wake up before it’s too late.”
Perhaps we should have a clock/calendar to time how long it takes for America to wake up. Would be interesting. I s’pose that day would be defined by the Liberal Media making some statement contrary to adulation for the Left, and Obama in particular.
Since the media-drunk masses of the world adored and loved and promoted Obama, they SHOULD pay.
“...and I’m already tired of Obama.”
I’m already tired of trying to be objective about his presidency.
OK, friend. You have seriously "misunderestimated" the Sarahcuda. Shame on you!
The more of Obama’s poisonous fallout that reaches the America-hating bigot masses of Eurabia, the better.
The writer tries to take off from Canada's liberal ignorant-elite terrain, but fails to clear the trees.
Hey Canada, pay attention to the part of America that is Northwest of you and learn a few things.
....too dam true
My only point of disagreement would be to point out that Sarah’s resume was better than Obama’s.
Xactly. And we should all give him the same support the liberals gave Bush.
I certainly intend to.
"Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots -- who cannot spell Barack Obama's name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies -- running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a bitch. I love democracy!"'
That poor guy. I certainly feel his pain and was glad to be safely locked inside my home when the election results came in over the radio.

I guessing Oprah's looking to be a frequent guest in the Lincoln Bedroom, along with a few other Celebutards.

Gee, the 1980s Black Rock group Living Colour's 'Cult Of Personality' comes to mind.
'A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.'
A huge understatement.
'Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meagre political fashion.'
Just think of You Tube's Peggy The Moocher multiplied by at least 10 million. Really scary stuff.

Can you say MSM Pravda?
