Why The Great And Growing Backlash? (Victor Davis Hanson On The Scott Brown Win Alert)

National Review ^ | 1/20/2010 | Victor Davis Hanson

[SkyPilot]

The voters have figured out that their president likes the elite plutocracy and the lower middle classes, but not so much the wannabe rich who aspire to cross his hated $250,000 income threshold — at which point suddenly they become unpatriotic, unwilling to pay their fair shares, and reluctant to spread the wealth around. It is not particularly smart to constantly demonize the entrepreneurial classes, promise to raise income, payroll, health-care, and inheritance taxes on them, and expand government regulations — and then wonder why they are not creating more jobs.

It goes a little deeper than that, but no one really wants to talk about it.

Obama is, at his core, a blatant racist who is for "his people" and against whites (even though he is half white).

I had a neighbor who was of mixed race (African American father, white German mother).

The man hated half of himself, and did everything he could to favor anything "black" over everything "white."

Obama (and his wife) think of Americans who are of European ancestry as evil, and he thinks they should be looted so that any goods and income they have can be "redistributed" to "his people."

The New Black Panther thugs can waive nightsticks at voters outside a white old folks home used as a polling place, and Obama protects them.

Nothing speaks louder of his racism than this.

He fashions himself as some kind of bastardized black Moses, and it is incredibly dangerous to this nation.

More so than people realize.

This sort of imagery is enough to make one despair that reason can ever prevail in public discourse. Note the black smoke. Can any ignorance be more abysmal?

I cannot understand how people say they hoped Obungler would be better, and not do the things he has done in his first year. His past record clearly showed me what kind of marxist he would become!

“But I as I point out if he wants any thing resembling a successful presidency, he will have to backtrack. Voters are forgiving of human mistakes. What they will not forgive is crass arrogance and a refusal to heed life’s lessons”

One thing cannot be reinterated enough: Obama’s camp are not out to do what’s good for America. The only success they are after in this presidency is success in forcing into being as many anti-capitalism programs as they can in the time they have left. If they launch five socialist initiatives and succeed in getting through only two of them, they have still succeeded in moving along their Marxist agenda. Theirs is a longer term agenda. Obama was raised and mentored by true Marxist believers.

The best thing that could happen to Barack Obama is more Democratic losses in hodgepodge elections that might yank away our young transfixed Narcissus from his mesmerizing reflecting pool.

Ha!

“The best thing that could happen to Barack Obama is more Democratic losses in hodgepodge elections that might yank away our young transfixed Narcissus from his mesmerizing reflecting pool.”

Great article..

[bcsco]

That doesn't count, since everybody with an IQ above 85 knew he was lying.

It does count. They were still campaign promises. Whether we took him at his word or dismissed his promises is immaterial. They were still promises, and he has broken them.

He lied to the American people and it is now evident for all to see. And this, if for no other reason, is why it counts.

[maica]

Regarding Obama’s “roots”, have you noticed that he gets really emotional when he criticizes bankers, but not when he addresses horrible events like the Fort Hood massacre or the Haiti earthquakes?

I maintain that he resented his grandmother, and agree with you about his innate racist outlook. There are numerous examples of his behavior that illustrate this - starting with insulting the Prime Minister of Great Britain last year.

[maica]

I forgot to include that Obama’s grandmother was a banker, and probably the only disciplined person in Barry’s family circle.

[Blind Eye Jones]

It’s no coincidence that almost everything Obama has done was a wrong turn and has been bad for America. Is it gross incompetency or something bordering on malicious intent? Is it the work of an air-head, celebrity president or a sinister socialist with an agenda? Maybe a combination of both? One thing is for sure: America cannot take three more years of this nonsense. Let’s admit one thing: it was fun while it lasted — a spectacle and pageant of messianic proportions, America’s first Demiurge and Demagogue packaged into One, paraded around, flying on Air Force One if not flying the seat of his pants. Entertainment and Greek columns, low bows and low brow rappers, American Idol come to life like Pygmalion, Marxist idolatry at its finest dress up and served to the masses — but the party is over. The Emperor-Elect, demigod/Che substitute must go.

Great synopsis(posted here for re-reading), but we're stuck with this incompetent teleprompter reader for 3 more years. Elections have consequences.

Can any ignorance be more abysmal?
Definitely.
How about a complete disregard for artistic license?
Or getting you panties in a bunch over a cartoon and pretending it has implications pertaining to the state of public discourse.
...sigh...
