The gigantic wad of ego that precedes this response is a peek inside the mind of the voter who supports a candidate as vacuous and bereft as Obama.

The post above is the longest unbroken string of ultra-orthodox, uncompromisingly hackneyed talking points and clichés I’ve ever seen. The remarkable thing about it is that despite its length, it’s entirely content free.

That’s quite an accomplishment, but it mirrors the Messiah’s speeches. All that comes across is smugness, self-congratulation, and teenage snark, along with a perception of current events that’s so out of touch with reality the writer ought to be in a padded room.

Christophers Hitchens enjoys asking people what Obama said after a speech, and they can never tell him.

What gets me is the utter uniformity of expression of liberals. They really are mass-produced people. Stylistically, the endless, chortling masturbation above could have been written by any one of 40 million interchangeable people.

It’s quite depressing that an individual human would happily choose to be a complete, 100 percent-pure stereotype, as indistinguishable from his fellows as a penguin is from the millions of others in the colony.
