Received an email that started out with
“The Daily Mail ( UK ) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009. (confirmation, Google ” London Daily Mail Obama’s Victory”)”
Now while “The Daily Mail” didn’t write it I did find it was posted by Michael Coren. Any way the original article can be found HERE.
Quote:
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.
Now I truly believe everyone can have their own opinion (I mean that’s a basic right). So whether you agree or disagree is up to you. I, personally, don’t like what our current elected leaders are doing to our country. That includes Congress (House+Senate) and our President (I think for a second straight time we have another VP who is doing NOTHING). Perhaps it’s just my jaded perception; however, having done more than most of our elected politicians (I actually read the entire damn Stimulus Bill; pork belly included [of which there was supposed to be none]) and have come to a conclusion: THEY SUCK.
So, instead of just complaining I think it’s time to start writing your Congressmen. If they don’t listen Elect another person; if you keep voting them back in there is nothing telling them they aren’t doing what’s best for us. And if you think a simple presidential change is going to make everything better I suggest you take another course in American Government. Alternatively, at the rate the people of this nation are leaning toward wanting everything provided by the Government and equality of all citizens maybe we should take a long look at a little book written by Karl Marx (if you don’t know who or what I’m referring to go back to school).
I’m not one to look at any political party over another. All I care about is who is going to do what’s right for America, the only real “party” that matters. And right now, our politicians are doing the exact opposite.
