Competition from Oversees

Rush was wrong on this one. The question that should have been asked was, “How could the American people elect someone like Barrack Obama to the highest office in the land?” Elections have consequences. People deserve the government they get. It’s been said so many times, in so many ways; always by smug, modern Americans talking about other countries. What possessed these same Americans to throw it all in the trash can for a system of governance that’s only brought pain and suffering every place it’s been tried?

Now the whole world is laughing themselves silly at us. Try Gerald Warner of Telegraph.co.uk writing in response to Kim Jong-il’s missile launches last week: “School's out! Suddenly it is playtime for all the naughtier elements in the more "reclusive" parts of the world who enjoy kicking Uncle Sam's butt but didn't much relish tangling with Dick Cheney and (what was that other guy's name?). This time Comrade Kim is really throwing his toys out of the playpen. He has even unilaterally revoked the 1953 armistice between the Korean War belligerents, which means, in case anybody is interested, that North and South Korea are once more at war.”

Warner, in his blog entitled, “Barack Obama: all the bad guys are giving President Pantywaist the finger” concludes by saying, “President Pantywaist's enemies are taking his measure and they are liking what they see. Perhaps, in some Machiavellian way, Obama thinks the appointment to the Supreme Court of a Latina woman of apparent bias, who seems unlikely to find favor with white male Americans, will either appease or frighten his foes. Come back, Dick Cheney, all is forgiven.”

Try Pravda: In a piece entitled, “American capitalism gone with a whimper” Stanislav Mishin launches with, “It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.”

He then continues lethally on point, beginning with the failure of (in his words) the “dumbed down (populace) through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics”.

He continues, “Then (the peoples’) faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses…”

He closes thus, “The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.”

It’s interesting reading. I'm no fan of the Russians, but they certainly seem to have our number. I wish some of our own news media would begin taking the blinders off for a closer look at where we’re headed as a nation.

Mr. Mishin leaves no stone unturned. He singles out Senator Barney Frank, (again, in his words) "a social pervert basking in his and his Marxist enlightenment” as having led in the effort to first destroy, then nationalize the banking system.

It’s beginning to look like Limbaugh might soon have some competition from oversees.
