“The 2008 election was a perverted form of reverse racism whose consequences may take a generation or two to unwind.”

That election was political and racial correctness taken to its utter, illogical, irrational, pathetic extreme - and we will pay for generations. The only silver lining is that we may have woken up. Maybe. I hope.

“Obama had the most liberal voting record in the Senate. Actions speak louder than words.”

And that’s what we could find out. There’s a massive amount more that we weren’t allowed to see. That made me hit the total REJECT button early and often re: his little phony lying 2004 ‘post partisan’ speech and subsequent hero worship.

The country had just elected a man who vowed to move past the old polarities, who valued discussion

Uh....what candidate DOESN'T vow to move past polarities, idiot Brooks. Even a first-grader knows that.

And what's this about Brooks believing Zero valued discussion? Sheesh. What in his leftist past would convince any sane person of that?

I think you’re right, in the sense that the masses of sheeple are ign’ant followers, but the creeps at the top of the food chain who create the propaganda, and who further the ideology are not nincompoops.

But for every Commie/NEA schoolteacher, there are hundreds of impressionable students who end up getting indoctrinated into left wing doctrine.

For every red diaper baby like the one who wrote this article, there are thousands of mindless followers who read it and take their cues from him without any critical analysis.

For every Fifth Column TV news anchor, there are millions who vacuuosly lean on his every word.

Case in point, like the one in the WH, red diaper and all, who went on and graduated from the Alinsky University for Communism.

Funny, it's the only graduate degree that we know for sure that 0b0wa has completed with flying colors.

Nothing at all "went" wrong. Au contraire, everything went efficiently and quickly "right," as expected. In fact, the 0b0wa agenda is proceeding in a breathtaking pace.

Bumping your fabulously succinct post!

“The Alinsky University for Communism”

Excellent.

I’ll be using that one in the future, along with another word I recently picked up exclusively from a Freeper, to describe this administration: Marxofascist.

Is David Brooks REALLY that stupid, or does he just play a stupid reporter for the LSM?

David Brooks is very much a product of his class -- the "educated class", as he has put it.

As events have unfolded, he should be getting an idea about just how much that "education" is worth. But I doubt it...
