I'm not asking for you to agree with me. But I have had it with Obama.
Resistance is futile against the paper march.
I usually steer clear of politics on this blog, but what the hell. All you can do is not read, or sputter.
When chunks start rising, and the "press," I mean the Obama campaign machine, fueled with global warming fanaticism, careens helter-skelter down greased railroad tracks of frenzied adulation, even the most dour curmudgeon is tempted to break into Scarlett O'Hara mode, pull an onion out of the dirt, raise fist to sky, and yell "I'll never be hungry again" on the eve of starvation which looms over the land.
Moral starvation. Philosophical starvation. Pangs of economic hunger we have yet to endure under a leader whose lilting spirit declares, "how dare you live a free life."
(don't stop me. I'm on a roll)
These are the good old days, and the person next to you has no clue.
Charisma is fine, for a social get-together.
We live in the real world, boys and girls.
Wand-waving speeches, proffering what is left of the United States of America as a temple offering to the "Golly, Golly please like us" international community. This is beyond the life of the party.
I don't give great store if France does not like us. You know what? I don't exactly like them. Their country is overrun. As is all of Europe.
Perhaps the demise of the country I grew up in is inevitable. We've lost God. What's left are corrupt judicial appointments and a slavish handover of personal liberty.
If you think 9/11 was bad, wait until Iran drops a hydrogen bomb on Israel. Or half the U.S. goes dark because "someone" sabotaged the power grid, based on green-energy, Al-Gore-friendly wind power, of course.
Global events begin with a brainwashed teenager muttering "whatever" with an ipod stuck in her ear.
But mega-trends hardly imply I must sink with herded sheep into a simpering CNN well of propaganda whose depths we have not plumbed since 1933.
Yawning gulf of ignorance. Maybe we deserve it.
You want to be treated like a child? By all means, join 50% of the country.
Or get mad at me for pulling the blanket down from your eyes. You have not seen mad until you read the Apple forums on the loss of email due to a disastrous MobileMe transition, but I digress.
The integrity of our nation, our Christian heritage, our language, any reference to one moral claim over the next - vanished in a Britney Spears cream puff of media-hyped adulation to the next messiah.

Sorry to pile on Britney Spears. Cheap shot. The fact that her kids now awarded to what's-his-name...hardly any of our business.
You know, she could have been the brunette version of Veronica Lake. Just blew it.
Or not.

To get back to my fear about the Obama-bile:
What makes, I mean "made," America different from the rest of the world, is not that we do not make mistakes, but that we live in a free society hard-won, where our personal liberty offers the chance for those who "can" to succeed over those who refuse out of laziness, or malevolence.
Not because they are battered down.
In the end, personal striving is exactly that: personal. It should be between you, God, and your brief time on earth. Not up to suffocating rule, which is what everybody seemingly grasps for.
Personal success is almost a shame now. And any true criticism against Obama's obvious socialist views is immediately racist.
Here is Obama's America:
Your penance for any success is to grant all you have hard-won to some lazy bum, or welfare mother with five kids, or a migrant across what used to be a border, because we all know how well-intentioned they all are. And by the way, let's create a three trillion dollar program for national health care because government runs things so well and we "care." Never mind the tax impact on your life.
I agree we need a social welfare net for those in need, our CITIZENS, your mom and dad. Not the other 5 billion people on the planet. They are doing their best to completely supplant our economy while I speak.
The point is, we drink not from an endless well of water pure and free, from luxury, sloth. It is catching up with us. And the last thing we need is some effete master of rhetoric who has no concept of how life works or what most thinking Americans identify with.
As for true complexities of the world? Try a realistic version of the earth, where sincere enemies not only exist, but prosper, who are smart and intend to destroy us.
All easily dismissed with petrified words of honey, sweet-smelling petals of fleeting fragrance suitable for video clips on our major TV networks.
Who does Obama think he is, standing up before a German audience, apologizing for America?
I am alive at a moment when the emperor who has no clothes is garnished every day in the bathing golden light, 24/7, by a fawning crowd of sheep.

Obama's staff has repeatedly said the trip is not political and not intended as a campaign trip, though Obama's meetings with troops and world leaders have been designed to boost his foreign policy credentials and help voters in the United States envision him as commander-in-chief.
At his news conference with Sarkozy, Obama touched on the foreign policy he would push for as president.
"I can say, affirmatively, an effective U.S. foreign policy will be based on our ability not only to project power, but also to listen and to build consensus," Obama said.
Obama rejected suggestions that appearing close to France could damage his chances at home.
"I think the average American has enormous fondness for the French people," he said. "And I think people in France and people throughout Europe should not underestimate how much interest there is in America in seeing the trans-Atlantic relationship improving."

A smile and promise to turn what was once America into the People's Republic of Obama, where government controls every aspect of your life and equalizes all human beings into one tax-paying soul.
Based upon eradication of everything that was true to the heart of reasonable men and women.
They tried this utopian concept in the Soviet Union. It fell apart.
They tried this in Europe. Europe is dead.
China still tries it, under a brutal power machine, but even they give way to a level of commerce and global interaction that will eventually see the fall of communist dictatorship.
But not America. No. We are the most intelligent nation in history to seize the prospect of a failed ideology, all because power corrupts.
If you do not think it that deep, or I am making a mountain out of a molehill, I am willing to accept that criticism. This is the way I see our world. With open eyes. With the willingness to be wrong, or corrected.
But by all means, let's watch each day as cultural elites pound sand into the uneducated, and allow history to repeat itself. Every civilization falls.
The media might as well open up the brothel sign for what they are, and this is truly frightening - to not even question pure communist utterances. To refuse to acknowledge enormous matters of importance, the philosophical basis of the United States. Or just throw the country away. Let everyone in. If your kids don't speak Spanish, how dare you?
But enough of this - I still have no Mac email. But no worry. Obama will nationalize Apple along with everything else, and place it into the hands of wind-power. Because we are not allowed to drill for oil in our own country. No, that's bad. Tsk, tsk. Let's just extend the Arabic blackmail until the game is up and we say, "wait, I was only just kidding."
You can plan on halving your station in life the next four years. If you are lucky.
See the eradication of anything Christian.
Stand in line at the doctor's office behind an illegal immigrant while you die from cancer.
Be told what you are allowed to listen to on radio.
Understand that moral relativism is the plate of the day, where any thought, any ideal, equals any other.
And thank you for willingly giving up freedoms that took mankind 5,000 years to achieve.
Ignore that man behind the curtain. He has a great smile and speaks in rhetorical tones. Nobody really cares to disturb the fabric of svelte, thin, brushed pleats of mesmerizing baby-blanket babble.
Party on.
PS I really would like to hear your rebuttal, but if you sent it to me at Mac.mail - ha ha ha ha ha ha - I won't get it! I'm one of the unlucky "1 %" Scroll down for the sad story.
