She forgot “Muslim from Kenya”
NAILED IT!
I believe most people who aren't as into politics as some simply dismiss ALL of that stuff as political chatter during an election, something that doesn't really matter, and that whoever gets into office SHOULD be there. It's a Pollyannaish kneejerk response, because what's the alternative? Admitting that we are in for a horrible time OR admitting you are uninformed about the guy who is now in charge of the most powerful military arsenal on the planet.
I don't think most supporters of Obama are Marxists; I think most supporters of Obama are Oprah fan-type people who just want to believe that everything will work out for the best, somehow/ For those people to accept that we live in a world where this guy rose to power would cause them to crumble.
I wish Obama all the “success” in the world. I place success in “. . . “ because I am making my own definition of success, not the Democrats’ or progressives’ and it is the same “success” I wished GW Bush.
First we defeat the communists...
then we elect one.
We're drifting towards socialism. Economically even though we will recover the foundation for economic malaise long term is being set righ now and in the next few years. Those who so like to talk about our future and the children will ensure that our future is stagnant with no hope and no change.
Obama is a symbol of a society that has completely thrown away it's past, and with it also the moral fabric, interpretation of the Constitution, and culture of rugged individualism and freedom. The word freedom today is hollow and without meaning, having been supplanted with government entitlements and security.
The US will drift towards where Europe already is economically and culturally, and indeed many even openly proclaim what a great idea this is, advocating national run health care, retirements, and massive government subsidies as in Europe.
The problem with times like these is that unlike the 70s, this is a threshold we've past with Obama today. It's a point of no return where the Conservative values will be eradicated in public education and Hollywood. There won't be another Ronald Reagan, and like so many in Europe what you'll see is a Republican party that morphs into another socialist party that simply has a more aggressive footing on national security. Even there we see the foundation already having well been emplaced, with many voices in the conservative camp screaming to drift left in all social and economic matters.
The US will end because the very foundation of this nation is the Constitution and the values expressed in it, a free market which the founding fathers already advocated, individualism and freedom which all have gone out the window. The real problem I see is that the right in this nation like in Europe will also drift left, and this socialism will feed and self perpetuate. Great nations always fall from within, few realize or see their own demise, we have begun our fall and a million will be cheering on 20 January 2009 in Washington.
You have to go to Europe to find someone who understands Obama’s background.
“And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.”
and I get laughed at for stating the obvious. Socialism/marxism never has worked. I am sure we will do a better job of it./sarc

That quote from Melanie Phillips belongs in a book of great American quotations. The unfortunate part is that Melanie Philips isn’t an American, she’s British.
Good post, but why in Chat?
His majesty and Biden are live on Fox in Baltimore complete with the loyal sheep crowd!
