I think we should sober up and listen to what Derek and Krauthamer have to say. While we needn’t agree with all of what each one says, it is accurate to state that a lot of the “stealth marxist” stuff is a strawman, as is the issue of Obama being turned into a cult figure by lefty moonbats and celebrity illiterates.

There will be plenty of statist nonsense to complain about in the next few years without it having to be naked socialism, and an awful lot of people will be fine with it, unless “conservatives,” or whatever smaller/small government types are supposed to be called these days can articulate compelling, attractive, and workable alternatives that a lot of people will like.
