democratic or totalitarian

I would have thought it’s more like a religious or UFO/mothership phenomenon. There are distinct whiffs of Kool-Aid drinking going on as the progressive lemmings try their damndest to drag the rest of us over the cliff with them by freeing terrorists, allowing in herds of uneducated and crime-riddled immigrants, and demanding that we cease trying to protect ourselves and turn into multicultural non-American citizens of the (failed) world.

To me, the progressive left is more of a cult-like group with brains turned off and marching in lockstep towards the abyss, although I suppose in their chosen messiah of B. Hussein they’ve selected a celebrity to follow to their death.

But is B. Hussein any more of a celebrity spokesperson than Oprah? What would happen if Oprah and Bill Cosby and Colin Powell and Mohammad Ali all came out against Obama, and set his politics apart from the race card he’s been playing hour by hour and day by day?
