The fact that we could and did predict these things tells us something about the political climate in which we conservatives are obliged to operate.
If we could see these things, why did the media not see them? Why did John McCain fail to expose them?
The failure of the institutions which we have as a society historically relied on to protect us against the demagogue is shocking. The Democrat party, the media, our own candidate, all evaded their duty. This should bring us a fresh awareness of the power of the race card in American politics. As you probably know, I miss no opportunity to expound Nathan Bedford's first maximum of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
Rereading those posts written before the election, one is struck again by the narcissism of Obama, the flip side of which is a haughty disdain for the middle of America, the "bitter clingers". His vacation in Martha's Vineyard is only the last in a parade of backhands to the American people. But the real important inference to draw is that he disdains us because we are benighted and he is possessed of the truth. We are ignorant and he is schooled. He knows that America is essentially evil and the last barrier to the onrush of global socialism and racial justice. He knows that our patriotism is the faith of fools and that we are scarcely worthy of his time and effort to manipulate us.
This sort of individual can prove to be virtually immune to the influence of events, the thrust of history, or sheer common sense. Worse, he might well be sociopathic and incapable of compassion for his own people, white and black. If so, he is capable of subjecting his people to the most awful trials to perfect his vision of utopia.
He has leapt into the oval office with a worldview in which he has been indoctrinated by communists, condoned by academics, and exploited by politicians. He found it so easy to seduce us as he seduced the media, George Soros, and his fellow academics. There has never been a reckoning for Barak Obama because of the color of his skin and because he votes present in every crisis. We do not know how deeply he is rooted in reality and how deeply he is rooted in his fantasy. If it is the latter which rules his psyche, he is like all sociopaths, a very, very good actor who knows how to manipulate his audience.
He is the most dangerous kind of individual in whom to invest ultimate power. That is why it is impossible to predict how he will react in this crisis whether it be thrust upon him or of his own making.
