| They still spell it 'Amerika' |
| 2009-10-11 |
| Hat tip, Instapundit For those of us who grew up in the era when Weather Undergrounders Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn were familiar names in the news, it is always discomforting to be reminded of Barack Obama's many associations with people of the radical left - Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, etc. Such folks' political thought never progressed beyond the 1960s because the revolutionary New Left didn't disappear, it simply went on to graduate school and then careers, mostly in the mainstream media, academia, the non-profits, the bureaucracy of state and local social work, and Blue State politics. Many bought BMWs and flat screens who nevertheless never stopped dreaming of revolution. In their hearts, they still spell it "Amerika." ...Obama grew up suffused in this culture of obsessive alienation and its distempered worldview, it is his fundamental frame of reference concerning America's past and its principles. Early on in places like Harvard and Chicago, he learned to speak always in language that appears to reassure when in fact it obscures and conceals his roots and what those roots tell us about who he appoints and why he follows the policies he does. Whatever Barack and the people he has surrounded himself with may profess with their mouths at any particular time, their actions show they still loathe America and our standing as most powerful nation on earth, as well as our free enterprise, individual liberty, reverence for family and local communities, Main Street, the U.S. military, Christianity, and every other hallmark of the traditional culture and values of Western civilization. How much of an exaggeration would it be to claim that USA is under foreign occupation right now? |

| #4 We've always had that kind of idiot. It must be some sort of recessive, genetically -- I'm sure the science wallahs will turn it up sooner or later, along with a tendency toward breast cancer or a susceptibility to succumb to an XMRV infection. |

| #1 How much of an exaggeration would it be to claim that USA is under foreign occupation right now? Posted by:g(r)omgoru Not much of an exaggeration when one considers the polls that show anywhere from 50-60% (or more) of Americans view themselves as some form of Conservative. |
