The Illusion of Hope Triumphs

Tonight, with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a man whose name can actually be written in Arabic without having to ponder the correct spelling, America suffered a grievous blow. This vote was an unprecedented act of national political suicide and a vengeful self-inflicted wound that has cut to the very core of our democratic constitutional republic. In the meantime, this one-teleprompter-speech-wonder can make all the customary and reassuring declarations he wants but as this national tragedy unfolds the people will not discover who has been elected until after he enters the Oval Office.

To paraphrase Melanie Phillips of the British journal, The Spectator: a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists, subversives, and a convicted Chicago fraud artist and influence peddler, is now the President Elect of the United States.

The rout of our democracy by a combination of Marxist ideologues and arab cash is now well underway. Our republic is about to be subverted from within. Obama will preside over the greatest expansion of the federal government since the New Deal tilting it farther to the extreme left and towards the model of a failed European socialist state with all the concomitant dependence on government welfare. The current financial crisis will be used as an excuse for government to spread its tentacles over every aspect of our national life. He has already displayed a disturbing inclination towards suppressing criticism which will continue with the imposition of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" on broadcasters. His tax policies and the financing required for his universal health-care program, if unaltered, will plunge us into a depression. His party of ideologue obstructionists will prohibit off-shore drilling. He will give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who will produce little, swell our welfare rolls but thereafter vote for him in droves. His misplaced concern for the welfare of imprisoned terrorists and his desire to weaken our domestic intelligence services will imperil us all. He will sell the very soul of our country, and the security of our allies, to those who seek our ruin in return for promises of amity and the incentive of further negotiations. As this flabby, crowd-pleasing, appeaser, leads us into the long dark shadow of the gallows he will behave like some dithering old nanny, accustomed to the best of households, urging hooligans of extreme vulgarity to behave themselves. They will take no notice for they have already taken his measure. As a result we will likely lose an entire American city to an act of terror and face the real possibility of a nuclear war in the Middle East.

The electorate has cast its historic vote more in protest against George W. Bush than in favor of Barack Obama. It is a vote cast out of pure emotion and not one cast using any analytical thought or intellectual rigor. It is a national disgrace committed with the enthusiastic connivance of a sycophantic media. To repeat what was said under slightly different circumstances, it is the most disgusting political event since Caligula appointed his horse to the Roman senate.
