Frenzy, folly, and the price to be paid
Rich, delicious snark from across the pond:
Anyone would think we had just elected a hip, skinny and youthful replacement for God, with a plan to modernise Heaven and Hell – or that at the very least John Lennon had come back from the dead.
The swooning frenzy over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation. At least Mandela-worship – its nearest equivalent – is focused on a man who actually did something.
I really don’t see how the Obama devotees can ever in future mock the Moonies, the Scientologists or people who claim to have been abducted in flying saucers. This is a cult like the one which grew up around Princess Diana, bereft of reason and hostile to facts.
Yep. But, like the rest of us, they’ll be getting those facts hurled in their teeth by harsh reality soon enough. Too bad things can’t be arranged so that the only ones to pay the price for their folly will be themselves. Because we’ll be dunned for that soon enough too.

Of course, if this were universal, Obama would have been laughed out of the conventional hall, so it's not a lock.
But the process is common enough that we can at least consider that maybe we HAVE to put an Obama there, so we can get it behind us (not just the racial thing), and many will then have a foundation for opposing the leftist ninnies that they do not now have.
Grasping here, but I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Cross your fingers, start gathering ammo (politically... figuratively...) and let Mr. Obama prepare the ground for the counter-revolution.
And that counter-revolution may, for the first time, be able to take place far beyond the borders of the United States.
Has anyone polled the "Alien Abductee" demographic, to see how they voted?
How about the Scientologists? Anyone think there was even ONE "religious" celebrity who cast a vote for the Republican side?
It seems as though the Rich and Poor demo's were over-represented in this election cycle. The mids, the normals, just didn't get out and get it done this time around.
And the mids are gonna pay for it. As always. I hope next time, we've learned the lesson and never give up again. Don't listen to the media hype. In the meantime, hunker down and endure.
If you're willing to accept all the credit when things go well, then you must also be willing to shoulder all the blame when things go south.
Yeah, I know. Fat chance of that happening, huh?
