Obama's Victory--A British view

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad

racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US 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, Moore, 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 meager 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.

Congratulations America !
