Now that comment had me actually chuckle. I have never seen an advisory team so poorly constructed and the mere thought of what lies ahead is a bone chilling nightmare. The entire foreign policy tack this wayward and port listing ship is sailing upon, makes no new footprint, it simply follows in the limp-wristed wake of Jimmy Carter. Himself a disaster of epic proportions from which we have yet to fully recover. An appeaser toward our sworn enemies and turncoat to our allies, shaking in his boots at the ferocity of a bunny rabbit. The entire team carries the stench of fear, cowardice and disloyalty to allies. Joe Biden and John Murtha, two aging simpletons who can't seem to get out of the way of their own ignorance. When either of these two speak about foreign affairs, it comes out as if in a foreign language, lost in translation. Dumb as a stump and twice as wooden, it makes for the laughs of lowbrow comedy or heaven forbid they ever obtain real power, terrifying high drama. Tim Mahoney and Barney Frank, apparently believing that it's not enough of a job to help cook the books at Fannie and Freddie...but to book the hookers as well. It's nice to be lectured on how to behave as a world citizen by guys who are equal opportunity scandalmakers. Nice work, if you can find it. "We have bankrupted the economy and kept the felonies to a minimum". Built a great advisory team, so that should give us confidence at 3:00 AM? I'm terrified at 2:00 in the afternoon, in broad daylight. No, really...thanks for the chuckle. A wimp, a simp and a pimp...yep, that's the ticket. Good advisors? Now that comment had me actually chuckle.

Well, not really. There's must be gaggle of ghost writers somewhere churning out this Krauthammer and Sowell material. The same stuff said in the same way. Say what you will about Hitchens and even Kimball Jong Ill, both dudes can write. (Hitchens spells better, though.) Hell yeah–it’s Krauthammer time!

Christopher Hitchens has never changed his admiration for Trotsky back from the days when he was a Bolshevik. Trotsky is a hero of his til this day. And the two ideologies are similar. I refer to you this excellent article on Hitchens by Tom Piatak. http://www.amconmag.com/article/2005/oct/10/00022/ @6 I would expect that sort of ignorance from a Bushie.

After that bit of gibberish G.Clark goes on to tell us Obama is "hawkish". This has all the earmarks of Obamathought itself. The only thing that has any coherence in anything this nitwit says is the usual Bushbashing tripe. How can someone be a “Troskyite neo-con”.

Clark Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:01:03 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/?p=340#comment-6818 Neither, of course. They will both be a disaster for the USA and her interests. The Trotskyite neo-con, Christopher Hitchens, did make a valid point in his recent endorsement of Obama. He wrote, “there really isn’t a very sharp or highly noticeable distinction to be made between the two nominees.” Indeed. Neither of them is a conservative and Obama seems fairly hawkish on most things except Iraq. As bad as BH Obama will be for the USA, his victory will do us the service of further discrediting the Republican party and the neo-conservatives that have controlled it. We can only hope that out of the ashes a new and truly conservative party will emerge. One that doesn’t believe in loony notions like fighting wars to impose democracy or for the benefit of other countries. Neither, of course. They will both be a disaster for the USA and her interests.

These people arent thinking at all. They are voting race, they are voting ignorance, and they are voting for a man that will protect their ignorance and cater to their special interest group no matter what it costs America. No amount of ideas or argument will change these peoples minds..they have no minds to change. Obama is a result of 40 years of mass immigration, mass dumbed down education, and a legion of hucksters and con man playing the race card. The country has been given away by whites are too dumb to know whats being done to them. If you want to save this country think DEMOGRAPHY..not debate. If you dont believe me...try debating with an Obamabot and then maybe just maybe you will be ready to break out of the stranglehold of Political Correctness.

Unfortunately the financial crisis has made almost everyone blind to the crude reality out there. And it is real danger that awaits - not only the US - but the whole world if a candidate gets elected who was capable to associate himself with Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright and many more of those US-haters - no matter if he is a "smart young guy". Excellent point, Roger !
