#1 I would call this article "A voice in the wildness".

#2 Hope!

And shame, at the same time. When will this foolish little man remove the "Kick Me" sign from his back and start acting like the leader of the free world?

Oops, silly me. There is no "free world" anymore. Sorry for being arrogant. Won't happen again, nyet, nikogda, kommandeer.

#3 In a June 2007 speech Obama said “Whatever we once were, we’re no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation and a nation of nonbelievers”

and 1+1=3 - Welcome to the world of "change"

#4 The full implications of Obama's election were not apparent to most of the electorate last October. Obama and his ilk have been tolerated by them as a legitimate part of our political debate for far too long. One beneficial outcome to this period will be if the scales fall from the eyes of the electorate and they see the Obamanation for the enemy of American ideals it is.

#5 I fear "the full implications of Obama's election" are still not apparent.

B, I'm afraid that the implications are all too apparent. The ultimate consequences of those implications are still to come.

#7 I fear "the full implications of Obama's election" are still not apparent.

Unfortunately, I agree. People don't like to be fooled and they really don't like having to admit it.

It means that they weren't paying attention to the signs and warnings that many of us recognized without having to read between the lines. The bastard telegraphed his intentions loud and clear and those now feeling somewhat swindled may be willing to believe the whitewashed lies of the MSM rather than their own eyes.

#8 In a June 2007 speech Obama said "Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation and a nation of nonbelievers"

He has given variations of that meme in speeches on at least three separate occasions. Of course, he realizes that population-wise, this is a Christian nation (76% according to Pew). Given his agenda, it's in his best interests to undermine the Christian-Judeo values upon which we were founded.

I'm old enough to have witnessed many of this nation's leaders lead us in prayer throughout our difficult times, or at the very least, appeal to a higher power for guidance.

I won't hold my breath waiting for any such appeal from the Kenyan.

#9 In a June 2007 speech Obama said "Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation and a nation of nonbelievers"

This is actually the Left's corrupt and debased definition of democracy, much closer to the old "People's Democratic Republic". It's a democracy of special interests where in each interest is equal in voice rather than each person. Thus small factions have as much power and standing as large factions. Each block has 'equal' say in the process regardless of the classical definition of democracy.

I hope some huge disaster is not created as the result bumbling, indecision, arrogance, narcissism and naivete. Neville Chamberlain comes to mind.

#11 But people only deserve what they have earned.

Not according to Bambi.
