The Jihad and Obama

We like Clive Cook, and we like his paper - London’s Financial Times. We’ve been featured in that fine paper ourselves a time or two, way back. Clive writes Mar/1 that, "What should have been clear all along is now impossible to ignore: the US is to the right of Mr. Obama on domestic policy." Oh, that. Should have been clear to whom? The media, academics, college kids, Clive? All of those who pulled the trigger? Is this an admission of lack of scholarship, or a told-you-so?

Stalin would have loved these guys. But at least Clive didn’t blame the whole shebang on the "ignorant masses," in the fashion of most of his US colleagues. In fact, the American people have stopped Obama before he could do more damage.

We’re not laughing at Clive; he and a lot of others are in the same boat - they have been in a state of denial about BO all along. Political correctness got us all in trouble.

In the meantime, prepare for the left’s operatives to continue to sacrifice their own, claiming as Pelosi recently did that it is for the good of their country. Certainly. Not all Democrats are ready to walk the plank of course; they’ve politely declined the Kool Aid which is precisely what the recent meeting in the Blair House was all about - to get them to reconsider.

Now that extremists have control of the party its demise is sealed, but even knowing that it is not enough to stop them. They don’t care. (A new Democratic party will eventually emerge, but closer to what Andrew Jackson had in mind.)

Friends have told us, "You’re nuts," for drawing as we recently did the parallel between radical Islam combatants and operatives of the far left. We are not crazy; we’re right; it may be chilling, but it is accurate. Naturally the far left are not out to murder each of us, but just like the jihadists they will sacrifice their own in their conflict. That’s why the rules are now changed. For both, there is no middle ground, no compromise, only their way. They’re not wired like normal people. Both the far left and jihadists are welded to an archaic document; neither has experienced a reformation. Both are out to extinguish a Western free society - muslim thugs with guns, radicals like BO and Pelosi, with suffocating government.
