Blame The Agent?

We’ve expended plenty of venom on BO and his extremist associates, past sketches. (They’ve wasted a heck of lot of $ and tanked the economy in the bargain, for starters.) And yet aren't they really just being themselves? They’re not counterfeits; some aren’t even crooks. They’re who they’ve always been - propeller heads who know perfectly well that only government should control society, that only world planners can achieve equality and that they, the gifted, the anointed are burdened with the task of stewarding the rest of us towards ends that they know are best.

This is all nonsense and most of us know it. Well, maybe 45% of us knew it before the election. Perhaps 65% realize it now, after application.

Problem - a good portion of the population is just lazy, never bothering to inquire; Obama didn’t hide a darn thing. He wore a sandwich poster. Anyone who could read and did so, knew who he was. He for example made no secret of his belief that there is nothing particularly special about America. From our own Vic Hansen: “There were other instances throughout the campaign and first months in office suggesting that for Obama, multiculturalism trumps national unity and moral relativism supersedes cultural confidence. His serial apologies for America, embrace of America-hating Hugo Chávez, and supplication to foreign thugs are consistent with a ‘blame America first’ mentality that may be unremarkable for a political science professor but is toxic for the leader of the greatest nation in history.”

None of this was news. So?

So a whole lot of Americans, in abandoning good scholarship abandoned good citizenship. Now our country is in serious trouble.

The guy is half black. He was a slick speaker. The rest is history.

Just like Clinton, BO woke up election day as surprised as anyone. Why were these guys surprised? They both gave too much credit to the electorate.

So ongoing the serial embarrassments of bo will continue. He is not the real problem however. Some can look in the mirror for that.
