The following is a view from England , a country that sees us more clearly than we can see ourselves. In this instance, the writer of the editorial in the London Daily Mail is looking back down a road England and other European countries have already traveled and see the Obamaites pushing us down the same route. The last short paragraph is a masterful summing up of our situation.
An editorial from the London Daily Mail Obama's Victory 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 every where. 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 meager 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.
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 o n 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.
Congratulations America !
I have gotten into reading more and more overseas news in the last 5 years over our own
That says it all.
Spot on, brother! Spot on!
IOW, The Demokrap party.......................
Good find.
The Telegraph UK also figured out Zero

Barack Obama must grow as a statesman if he is to lead the free world
America’s new president will learn a thing or two about decorum on the world stage when he visits the Queen
It was posted on FR HERE on 02/13/2009, and the link to the "London Daily Mail" was bogus.
To my knowledge there is no supporting evidence that the London Daily Mail ever had this in print.
Daily Mail is the best paper in the UK followed by the UK Telegraph.
for later
What’s really sad is having casual acquaintances from the UK that assume everyone in the USA voted for The Fraud, and having to tell them which of their papers have exposed the lies and rhetoric most accurately.
Maybe it is because we have no true reporters in this country.
Not qualified to clean Her shoes.
Obama’s refundable tax credits raise the portion of taxpayers paying no income taxes to almost 50% from 38%. This would be a voting majority and, combined with White House control of the Census!!!!, would put control of our country’s finances in the hands of only those who TAKE and PAY NOTHING. INCREDIBLE!!!!!
It doesn’t matter where it was published, what it says is pretty much the truth.
That may be, but they didn't write this.
Got a link? Because the poster hasn't.
I am embarrassed for Obama to visit the queen. I don’t believe in royalty but decorum in dealing with other countries. After his treatment of Brown and wife, I can only imagine that he would throw tradition to the wind when he meets the queen. Funny, I imagine HE would behead someone disrespecting him if HE were king. And I have no doubt he will be extremely respectful when he visits, Africa, Cuba, Venezuela, etc...
You are serious, aren’t you.
