Obama: packaging socialism in a deceptive new rapper

Obama is just the repackaging of tired old socialism in a deceptive new rapper

American Thinker: The Fierce Urgency of Lies

That is his appeal; he is an actor, a performer, a cinematic presence that stirs simple emotions, emotions that have little grounding in truth. His speeches are the inane lyrics to a popular song that endures only because it has a great beat. One must not think to deeply on what Obama says, for it turns to smoke and disappears in the light of day. Ezra Klein is correct, Obama’s speeches do not inform, they pander, they propagandize, they harmonize with the mythology of despair and the chimera of entitlement. As his hagiographies proclaim, he represents a new Camelot, but one that does not hold America quite so precious, a Camelot of globalists, moral relativists and communitarians.

An Obama administration will be one of historical revision, of faltering American values, of ideologues crafting “progressive” policy, of radicals telling citizens how to live, what to drive, what to eat and what to believe. They will tell us that the constitution is a living document and should change to reflect the times. They will tell us that we must pay more and more for the common good. They will take away our choices and make more and more of us dependant. Obama’s will be an administration of concocted class warfare, of racial exceptionalism and of pro-Islamist bias, and in the name of redefined justice and revolutionary inclusiveness, America will lose part of her soul and more of her freedoms. For all his rhetoric of hope, change and “coming together,” we still live in a perilous world. In a time of Islamic terror and nuclear proliferation, an Obama presidency will undermine America as never before.
