There's
a brewing controversy about Obama's minister The Right Rev Jeremiah
Wright Jr and his crackpot ravings. The good Rev spins on with the
usual, " Those evil white people keeping us brothers down" routine that
has been spun so many times in the last forty years that it has become
commonplace and boring. If Obama hadnt been an active member of his
church the good Rev would have retired and sat on the St Patrick's Day
revue stand with the mayor like any other local dignitary. The fact is
that Obama is a grad of Columbia and got his law degree at Harvard. It
must be nice for a guy who grew up in a white environment, who was then
steeped in the Marxist broth of Columbia and Harvard to get in touch
with a side of himself that had probably not gotten a lot of nurturing
and be accepted wholeheartedly into the community. Does he share
Reverend Wright's silly philosophy? Of course not. People with degrees
from Harvard and Columbia have been trained, however, not to dismiss
even the most irrational idiocy if it comes from the mouth of someone
sufficiently ethnic or radical. An Ivy League education these days not
only doesnt give you any critical abilities it attempts to destroy the
critical abilities you might possess naturally. When the academic world
abandoned morality in the 1920's and 30's so they could pay proper
homage to Lenin and Stalin they lost the ability to judge truth from
lies, sense from nonsense.
There are those that say Obama's ability
to sit through the Rev Wright's sermons, or even be enthusiastic about
them, means that he isnt qualified to be President.
Maybe so, but
then doesnt that disqualify EVERY Democrat? Hillary Clinton was an
associate of Saul Alinsky, an anti-American viper that makes Rev Wright
look like the jovial crackpot that he is. Obama was an invisible extra
in the Radical Movie, Hillary was not one of the stars but she was on
screen an awful lot of the time. The Childrens Defence Fund was a
repository of a much more radical agenda than The Trinity United Church
Of Christ. Another big difference was that Rev Wright is just giving
his observations on the way he sees things whereas The Children's
Defence Fund has a social, political, legal, legislative agenda to
actively make this country into a different kind of society than we
are; an agenda that springs from the same kind of contempt for America
that motivates Liberal Arts and Humanities professors in a school like
Columbia or The Trinity United Church Of Christ. The Democrats are the party that sees America as bad and wrong and that
should be the issue not whether Hillary or Obama is more radical then
the other. The issue should instead be the underlying philosophy of the
Democratic Party and what their erroneous ideas are doing to this
country. That should be the only talking point. If we dont overthrow
their vision then we will
become subjugated by it. It might be too late already, people seem to
have lost the ability to relate their high taxes and the increasing
cost of the Global Warming lunacy to the accelerating slide in the
standard of living. They're yelling for more," Get rid of the evil
conservatism of Bush!" Our guys dont respond by yelling back "Get rid
of the evil social fascism of the Dems!" because, guess what, the
people in charge of the Republican Party learned in the Ivy League
schools the went to (sitting next to the Dems they now work with) to be
quiet and submissive, to prevaricate, to compromise, to be reasonable
while their leftist colleagues were goaded to be ever more radical. If
they didnt stand up and yell, "What the hell is this CRAP!?" in Ward
Churchill's 'America The Enemy Of Humanity 101' class when they were
young and frisky why should we expect them to do it now that they are
old and have a stake in the system?
I guess the only logical
conclusion to this is that the slide to disaster is unstoppable because
the people at the top, one and all, seem to have lost sight of the most
elemental common sense and are pursuing a course whose end is well
known to the isolated and dwindling readers of the the works of the Old
Dead White Men which were banished from the Ivied Halls Of Academe in
the Glorious Revolution of the 1960's. The only question left is Bang
or Whimper?
