Obama's Victory

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality. A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meagre political fashion. Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition. A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity. A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

[When I first received this, it was identified as being from the London Daily Mail. Numerous people have since told me it was not from the London Daily Mail. Whatever. I know nothing about the London Daily Mail. For example, I do not know if the Mail is pro-Obama, anti-Obama, conservative, or liberal. Whether it was from that publication or not matters not to me other than giving credit where it is due for the authorship. I reprinted it here because it was well written. I only attributed it to the London Daily Mail because I assumed they would want that. I am amused by the preoccupation about whether it was in the London Daily Mail. Why would it make any difference? I suspect the attacks regarding whether it was in the London Daily Mail are the equivalent of the attacks on Joe the Plumber. Joe the Plumber had no significance other than he inadvertently caused Obama to make an impolitic statement. By focusing attention on Joe’s background, which was irrelevant, Obama got people to forget what he said about “spreading the wealth.” Apparently the above “Obama’s Victory” comments are perceived by the Obama camp as a serious threat, so they try to switch the focus to the attribution to the London Daily Mail. The words, whoever wrote them, well describe the events in question. They stand on their own merit.

One reader said the first publication he found of the editorial was in a column by Michael Soren in the Toronto Sun and Soren credited it to a “young student friend” of his.]
