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.
“Whole world will pay for America’s electoral mistake”
I hope the hell the whole world does pay. They all wanted him elected. You reap what you sow. Don’t come begging to the US when your neighbors attack you.
That said; the whole world would have been better off; if the 'nothing politician' and his maverick side-kick had won. Together, they have more integrity and authentic 'patriotism' than Obama; his entire support team; and the majority of those who voted for him.
Without that 'love of Country'; a patriotic morality, more critical than any geography lesson; America can only be the biggest loser, ever. . .

SLICE!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!!!!! LOL!!
Obama carried College Graduates and this article is nothing more than an ignorant fantasy.
for later read
Which do you think will go first? Probably talk radio....then the porn will be forgotten because of some lame excuse of a bill. “We have more important matters to attend to”.
And who said there was no silver lining?
If we start boycotting these companies Obama and the Dems will just bail them out. Last year Ford was boycotted because of their support of the homosexual lifestlye. Sales dropped.
I have also heard from a few Constitutional Law Professors (including Hugh Hewitt) that the Fairness Doctrine is unconstitutional and could not be instated on its merits since commercial radio is part of the free market and not under public broadcasting (I may be wrong in the definition but it's pretty close, so please forgive me in advance). So there very well may be a huge fight on Capitol Hill over this.
And should Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, along with their henchmen try to ram this sticky wicket through Congress, there will more than likely be a few less House and Senatorial Democrats in Washington come 2010 and 2012.
I think many of us have had this same experience lately. Outside the student world. And here in PA, the reverse racism, where a vote against Obama presumes one is a racist (thanks, Murtha) and not any differences in political ideas. On the plus side, I watch less TV now.
yep
Actually, I agree with all except the bit about Sarah Palin. I would support Sarah for president.
well, not everyone is mad...
I don’t think the American people will ever figure out that they made a mistake. They cannot distinguish forest from trees.
The American people are for the “fairness doctirne” because they think of themselves as imminently “fair”. Of course, the fact that they have no clue about what the “fairness doctrine” involves reflects poorly on their lack of intellect.
