Here are few quotes
From the brutally blunt Peter Hitchens:
"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."
"Proper books, recording his sordid associates, his cowardly voting record, his astonishingly militant commitment to unrestricted abortion and his blundering trip to Africa, are little-read and hard to find."
"If you can believe that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything. He plainly doesn’t believe it himself."
"From now on, the rough boys and girls of America’s Democratic Party apparatus, many recycled from Bill Clinton’s stained and crumpled entourage, will crowd round him, to collect the rich spoils of his victory and also tell him what to do, which is what he is used to."
"No wonder that awful old hack Jesse Jackson sobbed as he watched. How he must wish he, too, could get away with this sort of stuff."
"Yes we can what exactly? Go home and keep a close eye on the tax rate, is my advice. He’d have been better off bursting into ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony’ which contains roughly the same message and might have attracted some valuable commercial sponsorship."
and finally:
"Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world.
Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.
These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts.
They preferred to posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on their behalf in far-off deserts. And now the US, like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth?"
Well said Peter, and the next time you're in the states, I'd be happy to buy you a beer. In the meantime, don't despair. The United States has not sunk in the morass as of yet, we are still right here, hanging on, and we are going to hang on for the next four years, because we are Americans and the obamessiah will be but a one term wonder. And at the end of that one term, America will have had enough of that touchy feely kumbaya commie crap and that's when America will put a true conservative leader into the White House.
When that happens, the United States of America will climb right back on top of the world because we are the greatest country in the world, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
So hang on. We ain't gone yet.

"...one of the most absurd waves of self-deception and swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation.
And what "civilization" was more "advanced" than the Germany through which swept Hitler's (y"sh) Nazism?
It is ONLY in the "advanced" "civilizations" that such "enlightened" evil can occur.

Yes. He's the younger brother of Christopher.
