| The Obamessiah & The Coming Struggle: A Brief Meditation |

| H/T: Commenter "Tantor" at Blackfive.net. This guy gets it - good stuff, so I've pasted the comment here in its entirety. What looks like strength today will be seen as weakness tomorrow. The irrational admiration for Obama can not last. It is a fad like the latest song or hairstyle or teen idol. It will pass. The cult of Obama is a balloon waiting to be popped. We should give thanks that liberals are so foolish as to vote their emotions rather than their minds to present such a weak leader. How has wild-eyed fanatic devotion to a leader worked for the Iranians or Al Qaeda? Why do you think it would work for the Democrats? Stop wailing about what a disaster this is and start arming yourself for the fight to come. Read the Constitution and the Federalist Papers so that you know why the Founding Fathers organized the government the way it is. Arm yourself with arguments for the coming assault on the Bill of Rights. Obama will want to reduce the military, raise taxes, mandate volunteers, ban guns, muzzle talk radio, and super-size the government. These are happy fights which we will win. While it is alarming to see ignorance in such great numbers and on the march, our ideas are better and will come to be accepted because they work and theirs don't. The coming year will be the intellectual equivalent of Rorke's Drift. Dang...wish I'd come up with that last line myself. That one belongs in the national media. |

| #5 Obama is worse than anyone can imagine. It takes an Indonesian or someone who grew up there to be able to read him. He is very angry, and has evil plans. His "blank slate" stuff (a kind of exterior "cultural politeness") is something he borrowed from Indonesia and then twisted to serve him here. He's not the creature he has created. |

| #4 My wife works with a PHD Chemist from Caracas, Venezuela. He tells me that it used to be just as civil and structured as the US, before that pig Chavez got elected. If you want to brush up on your Spanish curse words, mention Chavez around him. You'll hear swears you've never heard before. Something about his mother and a baseball bat, I don't know. |

| #3 The best we can hope from a Zero administration is catastrophic incompetence. This is close to my expectation, but...... His buddy Chavez has just threatened to put tanks in the streets if his person loses an election. That's Zero's model of governing, 2010? You don't want to know my worst case..... |

| #2 Emmanuel was picked because he's a consummate political infighter. The Chief of Staff runs the administration, handles the President, etc. The 'Israel' bullet on his c.v. doesn't mean much in this case; the Chief of Staff has very little input into foreign policy. More telling is the supposed 'non-staffer' who's been talking to Hamas all these months and is now the more-or-less official link to them, Syria and Egypt. |

| #1 He could turn out to be a moderate or a mixed bag. He's putting out conflicting signals. Some moves are quite curious, like the Emanuel Pick, many more surprises to come no doubt. |
