'You have to pinch yourself - a Marxist radical who all his life has been
mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the
philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and
supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters,
revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters,
is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently
it's considered impolite to say so.'
- Melanie Philips, The Spectator ( UK ) 10/14/08
I don't think it can be said any better than that. That is THE TRUTH!
Is America really going to do this to itself?
-
Yes.

she's a racist =D
-
Not America, HALF of America.

Melanie Phillips has been fairly consistently anti-Obama since the start of the primaries, so its not as if this is a new development. Sadly she is in a very small minority of journalists on this side of the pond (the excellent Gerard Baker is another), and pretty much noone actually reads the Spectator.

agricola:
I've been wondering if you are the same "agricola" that posted on The Firing Line (or maybe it was The High Road) a while - 2-3 years? - back.
I ask because that agricola leaned way, way left, supporting every socialist, statist and marxist theory and politician that came along. That agricola was also from the UK.
Just curious. If you are the same, what happened that changed your "leaning"?

I never was that statist, and I am still socialist in some aspects. IIRC my time at THR and TFL was spent disproving much of what passes for opinion about the UK and firearms controls, though admittedly I am a lot more informed now about the US scene.

Well, we voted for prohibition, didn't we? We elected Jimmy Carter, didn't we?

We elected FDR, not once, not twice, but FOUR TIMES didn't we?
(And people TO THIS DAY still don't know he turned the depression into the GREAT Depression)

Thanks for the response. You are the same person, yet different. =)

A non-statist socialist? Rare animal, that.

Well, it's amazing what 50 years of marketing can accomplish. The Slick Sell.
Even Obama can be sold. And he has been.
If you can sell Barack Obama to the American people, well, hot damn, you can sell ANYTHING.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but the most important thing is to fool enough of the people enough of the time ... =(
