For the Dems any empty new leaf will do. Why not take a random opportunist community organizer with a unjustifiably giant self-concept and desperate aspirations for power and notoriety (two largely fictional autobiographies justified by what, …a convention speech?), throw in a 26 year-old speech writer with rousing but empty rhetoric infused with frequent but ambiguous references to “hope” and “change” and you have a brand that apparently can sucker half the country. Truly inspirational.
Hitler also wrote a self-obsessed book about ‘his struggle’, and also rose to power with shocking ease and speed. Perhaps there was no more land of opportunity than Germany in the ’20s , aside from 2007-2008’s USA, where the Party of Misfit Toys have waged a successful war on the embattled George W. Bush’s name and office. Enter the very real possibility of a truly empty suit with no experience “a heart-beat from the presidency” in this election. Now that’s scary.
True. Obama’s no Hitler. But not too differently, he came up with an inferiority complex that defends and confirms itself in wild arrogance and an attitude of entitlement, while playing every dishonest note to the fears of the fence-sitters and the poor and uneducated in the country. These issues made 2004’s Obama an easy target for those who want to use him to push left-specific and minority agendas by promising him power and feeding his ego with everything he wanted to hear, while he dutifully reads on the teleprompter what his puppet-masters want the country to hear — truth, fairness, and reality aside. No room in left politics for truth, and no room on the left for any form of absolute truth. It’s inconvenient and frankly scary to the left to allow the consideration of absolute truth, and it’s not hip with the freshly brainwashed on college campuses. At least Hitler knew what he wanted, knew what he was doing, and the consequences of it. Obama can only claim to be naive and ill-informed by anarchists and hippies about the feasibility of socialist policies.
Hillary at least took a stand from time to time. Voting “present” doesn’t cut it.
