Interesting, isn’t it, that Palin’s “not ready for the world”, whereas a certain poster’s hopeychangey Magic Negro mediocrity is. Blowing through a cool $50 mil to “educate” Chicago’s youth on Maoist and Stalinist principles is, I suppose, a sort of preparation.
Watching O’s rise helped me for the first time fully understand the truth behind Socialist “failures”. Benj & Co. more or less consciously realize that such failures are a “feature”, not a “bug”. If your average Chicago gangbanger was in school learning “white” subjects and preparing himself for a meaningful career, where would that leave Rev. Goddam America? If he had an opportunity to own a home and escape blighted areas – what of Obama’s “community organizers” and slumlords? Much has already been written about Black Liberation Theology’s conscious trashing of the black middle class. Recall how several months ago a certain commenter dutifully ridiculed blacks who chose to move out of urban areas w/high concentrations of minorities and seek a better life in the suburbs. IIRC he contrasted this “betrayal” with some idealized, noble savage-esque praise of the authentic blackness to be found in predominantly African states like Haiti. Sounds marvelous, especially when you consider things like infant mortality and GDP. Again, I am NOT being entirely sarcastic here – one must always remember that for O. and the leftist establishment, mediocrity & privation are the pillars of their political strength. Their vision for America’s future is one great big happy Port-au-Prince from sea to shining sea.
Consuming resources for no results. Degrading the culture with strident celebrity-oriented politics. Playing on ethnic hatreds while claiming to be post racial. Running the economy into the ground before “saving” it w/ham-handed statism. Mistakes, or simply the same deliberate social regression used time and time again in Soviet Satellite States and leftist ex-colonies during the postwar period? Perhaps nobody can know for sure, but I have my opinions. For a candidate promising “change” and “a new direction” Obama should be commended for knowing a good old-fashioned tactic when he sees one.
