That didn't take long, did it? That's the way it is with frenzies, whether they're dotcom
bubbles or phony messiahs. A few
moments of "the madness of crowds," then it's down the rabbit hole of history.
So there goes another Great Black Hope, the Great Liberal
Dream of absolution from America's racist sins dashed yet again. Better luck in 2012 or 2112, O ye liberal
sinners, because it's over in 2008. Obama
is toast.
You know he's toast when Chris
Matthews, who poses as a tough-guy bully but is really just a liberal pussy
wallowing in white guilt, goes apoplectically over the top proclaiming Obama's
speech in Philly today to be "one of the great speeches in American
history," surpassing Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream and "worthy of
Abraham Lincoln."
To see the total absurdity of this, try imagining Martin
Luther King's reaction to a Jeremiah Wright sermon. You can be quite confident he would publicly denounce it as the
most vile racism and walk out of the church.
Obambi and his not-proud-of-her-country wife stayed for 20 years.
This smooth-talking charismatic con man is lying through his
teeth when he said he wasn't really aware of his pastor sermonizing "God Damn
America." God Damn America? No, God Damn Barack Obama.
Damn him because he pretends to be a "healer" of America's
"racial wounds," yet belongs to a church of hatred for America. Damn him for his being such a profoundly
false messiah, for saying exactly what should not be said:
"Race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford
to ignore right now."
That's a quote from his Philly speech, and his main
argument. Yet "race" is exactly what
our country should ignore, and the whole victimist guilt-mongering
grievance-politics scam that goes with it.
If there is anybody positioned to argue this, it should be
this half-white/half African-black guy, a guy who is not a member of any one
race, a guy who is not African-American at all but outside any racial
category.
Obama is not African-American in any way whatever. He has no ancestor who was brought over here
in chains from Africa to be a slave. He
has nothing in common with Americans who did have such ancestors.
But his wife does.
She's one of them. And
tragically for The Obamarama, she chose to hate America for it. (There's a fascinating discussion of how she
does by the pseudonymous Spengler in the Hong Kong publication Asia Times.)
If Obama had married a normal woman and went to a normal
church and if if if if, he would argue that race is unimportant, that it does
not matter what racial tribe you belong to. What matters is who you are as an individual human being.
What matters is that you, no matter what your racial
ancestry, have had the incredible good fortune to be an American. What matters is that you live in a country
that enables you, more than any country that has ever existed in history or
exists right now, to achieve a life worth living.
That is what matters, not race, and that is why
America is a morally beautiful country, a morally noble nation. That is why Americans can so proudly
sing God Bless America and cannot sing it without tears in their eyes.
And that is why a follower of a preacher of racist hate who
shouts hatred of whites and Jews and America in his sermons no longer has any
chance to reside in the White House.
Because this still is a country with a majority of patriots,
and because of YouTube.
Thanks to YouTube, videos of "Reverend Wright" preaching God Damn America have now
been seen by scores of millions.
There's no way to take it back, no way to ignore it, no way to excuse
it.
The frosting on the cake is that Hillary gets the
blame. These videos have been on
YouTube for some time. Sean Hannity has
been complaining about Obama's church for a long time. Only when the story felicitously (for
Hillary) explodes on major TV news channels like ABC does it acquire legs.
You can count on blacks blaming Hillary for planting the
videos and story with ABC, with destroying Obama's candidacy - Hillary, not
conservatives, not Republicans, not John McCain. This is just too, too wonderful.
The Democrat Party is about to implode. Vast masses of Democrats will be rendered
catatonic when they realize that Obama is finished yet they have to give him
the nomination in order to get the black vote yet they have to give it to
Hillary because she's arm-twisted the superdelegates because no one who sings
God Bless America will vote for Hussein Obambi in the general.
Obama is history, the Dems are stuck with Hillary, and they
will come unglued with panic that McCain will win in a Reaganesque electoral
sweep. The blacks will blame Hillary,
the white Dems will blame Obama. We're
talking Democrat Götterdämerung.
Thanks, Obambi. We
really appreciate it - really. You have
damned your party and yourself. You may now go to
hell.
