If such a person were to be elected, he would have to face a struggle of abjectly mythical proportions. I disagree with longeyes here - the evil we face has been polluting Western Civilization with its presence since at least the 1930's. It's been known as Progressivism, Statism, Socialism, whichever you may call it. We cannot face it through the lens of politics as usual. We need to see ourselves as the heroes of old - as the Civil Rights marchers perharps, or perhaps as the abolitionists.
Thanks, but I'm not running, and President Longeyes has an odd ring to it... :)
I actually agree with you about this, especially about the need for the equivalent of a massive civll rights movement to deal with our common foe.
What I meant was that Obama and Palin have been absorbed and co-opted by the pop myth culture, and this makes winning this thing more, not less, difficult. Palin is not Joan of Arc, and Obama is not the Whore of Babylon... Well, wait a minute, now that I think about it...
