You have not read it elsewhere and probably never will but it was the gold curtains. The gold curtains spoke the loudest. This disconnected from reality mess of a man, who was gifted the Democratic nomination, surrounded himself like a foreign potentate in gorgeous gold curtains.
Turn off the sound from Thursdays love-in and the gold curtains spoke more than the flowery, stumbling, drivel from the TelePrompTer. The message: I got mine, screw you.
Who else but Barack Obama would go on vacation at a time like this? Having spent a few, forced on him, obligatory hours, less than it takes for one of his many golf games, Obama left the Gulf and all those White Working Class human beings. Why bother, he must have thought, they are not my coalition.
Who else but Barack Obama can possibly think that a few flowery words and some pretend concern, with stage props amassed on the beaches, will continue to fool? Obama is a fool who thinks you can fool all of the people all of the time.
Who else but Barack Obama recycles fake concern with recycled TelePrompTer verbiage garbage? Bret Baier noted the recycled verbiage:
Yesterday:
My Job right now is just to make sure that everybody in the Gulf understand, this is what I wake to in the morning and this is what I go to bed at night thinking about.Obama thug Gibbs on January 20, 2010:
[President Obama] wakes up in the morning and he goes to bed at night thinking about how to make peoples lives better how to create that environment for creating jobs Barack Obama on September 11, 2009 and multiple times:
My greatest responsibility is the security of the American people. Its the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning. Its the last thing I think about when I go to sleep at night.
Why bother writing something original? He simply does not care. His frat boy writers dont care. They are from another world.

Unfortunately for the author both the roots of conservatism and its current form date back to somewhat before the second Bush administration. Hard to believe, but there it is. They are, to be sure, rather more complex than the intellectual shorthand that is Marxism, and so one can see the utility of a Cliff's Notes version for those incapable of digesting the real thing. It's the reason baby food exists.This essay is, however, rather too simplistic for even Cliff - Conservatism For Dummies, perhaps, with no irony intended in the title. Rand, for example, was no libertarian, nor is "Bushian" conservatism more than a weird amalgam of government subsidy and the occasional and well-deserved gurgling noises of a tyrant being flushed down a Middle Eastern drain. It is not in any sense a major subdivision of any overall "conservative" movement.
The basic tenets of conservatism as it is defined in the United States are (1) that the proper repository of political rights is the individual citizen and not the collective, (2) that property rights of citizens are not to be abrogated by a government except by the consent of those citizens, (3) that citizens form the state and not the other way around, and (4) that it is not the function of government, but of the individual citizen, to control the distribution of material wealth in the interest of class or social justice, or personal preference or any other reason. There are, to be sure, additional such principles that inform the various factions within the overall conservative arena but those appear to me to be the basic commonalities. Note that while both Christianity and Judaism informed these general principles, those principles do not require a reciprocal commitment to their religious roots.
The other possible source of guidance for the inquisitive Leftist with respect to conservatism is to ask a conservative. It isn't hard, and it won't hurt. It does, however, involve ending a sentence with a question mark and not an accusation, a form of expression that appears to be outside the abilities of most of the Left at the current time. For their more adventurous comrades, I wish them luck.
