Obama's victory?

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist

preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who

abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans

who despise America largely because they depend on her,

comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would

not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.

A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for

the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but

has written about his achievements as if he had found the

cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building

a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over

substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over

reality.

A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community

in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and

Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and

interference to independence. For those who settle for

group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight

for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with

meager political fashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his

people have already stated that media has to be controlled

so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary

irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the

Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh,

when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are

drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat

Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be

censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the

few free and open means of popular expression may well be

cornered an d beaten by bullies who, even in triumph, cannot

tolerate any criticism and opposition.

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to

raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers'

unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced

that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war

and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of

a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has

come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to

mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and

economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal

sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Congratulations America!

How can people in Europe see this when so many in the USA cannot?

Because they know what it is to live under socialist governments. We, on the other hand, are just now dipping our toes in the pool.
