You know vet, the feeling I am getting these days? It’s actually very similar to the weird loopiness I was feeling the week after the big earthquake last March. Everything looks the same, but somehow everything feels less substantial. The ground seems to be moving all the time, even when it isn’t.

But this time, it’s all coming from the news. The markets are falling, there are riots everywhere, flash mobs have evolved from being a cute and harmless past-time into something far more brutal and inexplicable...

And even more sadly is the gut deep realization that whatever is happening — this is just the beginning.

I can only hope more people wake the hell up to reality before it’s their child decked by feral human garbage, regardless of that garbage’s skin color.

Unfortunately, some people NEED to learn the hard way. As a parent I feel sorry for “Gail” and what happened to her son. But my rational side can’t help also thinking “Lady, what the 9 Hells did you expect from a Marxist radical you were CLEARLY warned about and voted for anyway? YOU helped encourage this!”

America deserves everything we get for electing this guy.

What else ya wanna know???

[exnavy]

It’s the democrat party, there is nothing democratic about these people.

Notice the riots in London also. Started with race also.

The left depends on confused sympathy for it's radical causes. The only trouble with it right now is that the world is not awash with cash to support them.

The Leftist papers and media will, but it will only lead to less readership and less advertisers.

“America's chickens have come home to roost”

I wonder if more people will be open to learning more about Obamas past (and present) associates this time around.

[Cincinatus]

I look for this stuff to intensify as Obama and his administration continues to sink in voter esteem. This will be spun as "racism" by the media and the black community will eagerly buy into that.

The Wisconsin State Fair events are a leading indicator of how it's going to happen. Apparently random acts, coordinated wilding, growing frequency.

[gigster]

Dumb@sses who could be our downfall.

People, like Gail, do not understand the connection between socialism and infantilization.

When you turn people into perpetual two-year olds, they will act like two-year olds when you have expectations of them.

[Explorer89]

There is something in this article with a disconsonant ring to me. I heartily blame Obama for the economic malaise that inevitably accompanies a clearly anti-business administration. However, this author implies that he is somehow behind the outbreak of the violence. He has not uttered a word of condemnation, (unlike Mayor Nutter in Philly) but I cannot view this a some sort of assault orchestrated by Obama.

I lived in the People’s Republic of Berkeley for three years in the Seventies—I know exactly what she is talking about.

My stay in Berkeley turned me from a mildly liberal person into a conservative who can spot the liberal/progressive BS immediately. Unfortunately, that BS is rampant in academia and government.

Robin was a radical liberal until 2008, and he is upset with his even stupider liberal female friend who is still voting communist?

Wow, he really impresses me. What a brainiac!

[AngryMan0]

Leftists have no idea whats coming down the pipe, this example is on only a small prelude of things to come. By 2050 (if not sooner) whites are going to a minority in there own country, these type of events are going to increase in magnitude and frequency

[GOPJ]

This is horrible. Justin didn’t deserve to be treated this way, and his friends didn’t need to see such brutality.

“But, Gail, it’s not just happening in your small town, but it’s happening all over the country, and it’s getting worse every day. There have been random mob violence against white people in Iowa, Chicago, Atlanta, in Wisconsin, where dozens of white people were beaten up, even pulled out of their own cars.”

“But why?” Gail asked me plaintively. “Why is this happening now?”

“It’s Obama,” I explained. “It’s what I told you a few years ago. This is what happens when you put someone in power like Obama. Something spreads, like a virus. It’s subtle; it’s almost invisible. But it poisons one person, and then another and another, until soon the whole country is corrupted.

“It’s a sickness called hatred, Gail. Most black people are good, law-abiding, moral people. Obama comes from a far-left fringe group of militants who hate America and want to drag us down. Those same people have degraded and exploited poor black kids for years. These radicals use them as their foot soldiers. Obama would never get his own hands dirty.

*******************************************

This is an important story. Wouldn’t it be better to post it during the day when more people will see it?

[jobim]

Thank you for citing this story. Gripping and well-written. And, unfortunately, not an excellent work of fiction, but a glimpse of hell on the horizon.

[Rashputin]

Well, duh.

Just like the lead up to other revolutions the first step is to get people used to acting as part of a mob. It's already been done within the Black community where now days even otherwise level headed people will excuse violence and theft because, “there was a riot going on so stealing something that was going to burn anyway doesn't make any difference”. Now, by making it like some sort of fun rave, the white teenagers and youth are being trained the same exact way.

Once there are sufficient numbers of folks, well, that's when they start showing up with some sort of clothing or armbands that identify them as “good guys” to one another. By the time the election of 2012 rolls around seeing a few Black Panther types at the polls will be nothing. Mobs will be showing up and beating people and/or tearing up the voting places in those areas that are known to be conservative. The media will be blathering the best sort of “Goebbels School of Journalism” rationalizations for it and “debating” whether it's worse than “the poor” being “denied their right to vote” in other areas.

Never let a crisis go to waste will take on a whole new dimension.

Robin's friend is naive and clueless. It is not realistic to expect that by attempting to create a "safe, sheltered reality" - you and your loved ones can avoid the dangers and pitfalls of life.

Evil yawns and stretches every now and then, but is usually righted by better forces.

While many conservatives merge liberalism and leftism, there are huge differences between the two camps. Liberals, like Gail, want a kinder and gentler America.

I'm not sure that the differences are all that huge. The disparity between liberals and lefists may just be one of degree. The desire of liberals to achieve that "kindler and gentler America" is tripe. Other than being a popular, non-specific cliche, it is an illusion. Human behavior - on a grand scale - is not kind and gentle and it never will be. It is the naivete and passivity of liberals like the writer's friend, that feeds and encourages leftists in their quest to dismantle Western Civilization.

[nathanbedford]

Before the election I wrote a vanity whose title appears below. Alas, I believe the piece has been confirmed in every respect by events [and fully anticipates this article]:

THE OBAMA PATHOLOGY

The idea of the Authoritarian Personality originated in The Frankfurt School stop old as a means of undermining the position of the father within the family circle and thereby undermine the family itself and ultimately the nation as a bulwark against communism. It was heavily larded with pseudo-Freudian analysis and was expanded to subvert all institutionalized authority. Every season we see an article, usually by some college professor with too much time in his hands or sometimes by psychiatrists acting either singly or in gaggles, opining that the current president, if he be Republican, is somehow psychologically deficient. No Republican president or Republican candidate in my lifetime has escaped this ritual psychoanalysis.

A recent excrescence of this genre is the book by Naomi Wolf in which she ludicrously argues that America, led by George Bush, is on the verge of descending into fascism. I have posted my objection to this sort of pseudoscience and I have tried to debunk this cheap propaganda so I am reluctant to engage hypocritically in the same game now. Well, I am going to do it anyway. I aim to indict about half of our whole society. The half, and likely more than half, that will vote for Barak Obama. My psychological conclusions do not pretend to the trappings of the "science" of the psyche and adorned with the word games of Freudian analysis, rather they are rooted in common sense.

The conclusion of anyone with common sense who has seen the films of innocent children singing their Obama songs or who has watched the quasi-military chanting and saluting of the Obama Youth in military garb must conclude that there is something very, very wrong with these people. I remember when I first saw the YouTube Children singing their Obama song I became conscious after a while that my mouth was gaping open, so appalled was I. My reaction to seeing the paramilitary gang marching into the karate hall was a mixture of embarrassment that these kids would make such fools of themselves and anger that adults would so brazenly manipulate children. Then I felt a creeping sense of unease that there was something potentially very sinister going on. Dear merciful God, this is Orwellian!

Beyond a very healthy repugnance to the spectacle of brainwashed children put on display, beyond the inescapable Maoist symbolism of it all, a commonsense person asks, what kind of man would permit this to go on in his name? What kind of parent would not seek to protect his child from such a man? What kind of pathology would lead parents who presumably love their children to consign those children to the demons of mind control? How could Americans fall for such a transparent cult of personality?

Unfortunately, we need not be uncertain about what kind of man would permit this grotesquerie to be advanced in his name. History provides us with plenty of examples: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Kim Jong-Il come to mind and now we add Barak Obama to the list. Why has he not spoken out and repudiated this? Would not a decent man do so if only for the children?

If Obama will not speak out now as a candidate when a little modesty, even false modesty, would advance his chances, what will he do when he gains office with no resistance anywhere on the horizon; no opposition in either the House or the Senate, no voice in traditional media to be raised against him, no institutional resistance on a national level of any kind organized to discourage him? Because he condones this obscenity one must ask, Is Obama really a narcissist as has been claimed? If so, how far will he go when he has the levers of power in his hands when there is no effective resistance to his ego?

How dangerous is Barak Obama?

Is he too dangerous to be put in a place where he could literally get us all killed? Or Is he the indispensable man in some sense? I do not think so. There is nothing in his career that suggests that he is the man for this season. In a time of war he has no military experience. In a time of looming financial disaster, he has no economic credentials. If he is potentially dangerous and if he is not indispensable, why would so many people want to put him in a position where he could do us harm, even get us all killed?

My commonsense explanation is that there must be a pathology, a mass psychosis, that brings people to the point where not only are they eager to make him the most powerful man in the world but they are invoking his name and calling upon him to be their savior. This they do rather than falling on their knees out of fear of The Real God. This is the Obama pathology.

To a middle-class conservative who instinctively rejects conspiracy theories and normally wants to think the best of people because that's what he learned in Sunday school, this deification of an empty suit is as bewildering as it is frightening. What in the world are these people thinking? Do they not weigh the risks of consigning their fate to an unqualified man, worse, a person tainted his whole life with stunningly dangerous confederates including felons and Communists and terrorists? What is the upside? What is it about this man whose career is utterly uninterrupted by any accomplishment which would motivate these people to risk their children and my children to whatever he might do to them? How do they know? How can they be sure? Don't they have any doubts?

My problem is that I am seeking after that which I cannot find. I want to find an explanation in logic for a phenomenon of emotion. It is easy for middle-class conservatives to overlook the power of emotion even though history provides plenty of examples even within our own culture in America. Can logic explain why so many drank Jim Jone's Kool aid? Why Charles Manson commanded such blood loyalty? How many cheered OJ Simpson's acquittal? Why did princes Diana's passing traumatize a nation? These are not questions which are answered with everyday commonsense. One almost has to go to the Bible to see the answer in Old Testament allegory which lets us know that evil is and there will always be worshipers of the golden calf.

I fear that in November we conservatives might find ourselves involuntarily embarked upon a journey that is foreign to our epistemology. We may be going into dark places and we might well be pushed into a netherworld where our common sense values are of no use because it is a place where down is up and black is white, a place where gravity does not pull but pushes, a place where we will need a pocket translator in order to converse in English with our government, our children's teachers, and our keepers even though they superficially use the same words we do. We sense we are about to be overwhelmed by forces guided by the ghost of Saul Alinsky.

I fear the downside of the Obama Pathology after his election may extend to dimensions we cannot begin to fasten to our everyday understanding or to our common sense. We have no way of knowing what will come because we don't know anything really about Barak Obama. We do not know if he is purely evil, we do not know if he is a committed communist, we do not know if he is a racist, we do not know if he wishes to see the submergence of the United States into a greater world order, we do not know if he is a megalomaniac, we do not even know, God help us, if he hates America. We do not know, in short, if we are backs - to- the- wall confronted with the Liberals' quadrennial nightmare: A real Authoritarian Personality.

We do know that Barak Obama has already encouraged a cult of personality whose implications are truly frightening and fundamentally un-American.

Many liberals thought they could keep blacks on the urban reservations, but they’ve been picked clean by looters. Now they raid where the money is, and these encounters become more frequent. They have conditioned their “youth” that any shortcoming can be laid at the feet of whites, while at the same time telling them they were entitled to everything with little effort on their part (the soft bigotry of lowered expectations).

While it is a shame that this happened to her son, it isn’t a shame that it happened to her - he reaped what she sowed.
