It takes a Brit to say the truth about Obama?
« on: October 29, 2008, 12:16:09 PM »
Quote
'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?

I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

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.

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)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

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

A non-statist socialist? Rare animal, that.

When one breaks that statement down, even a few mass murderers seem less extreme that BHO.

A Marxist radical, who

all his life has been..........

a. mentored by,
b. sat at the feet of,
c. worshiped with,
d. befriended,
e. endorsed the philosophy of,
f. funded
g. and been in turn funded,
h. politically promoted
i.  and supported

by a nexus comprising..........

j.   black power anti-white racists,
k.  Jew-haters,
l.   revolutionary Marxists,
m.  unrepentant former terrorists
n.  and Chicago mobsters,

is on the verge of becoming President of the United States.

And apparently it's considered impolite to say so.'

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 ...  =(
