If you could bring the
playwrights of Ancient Greece - Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides, Aristophanes -
from 5th century Athens to watch the Democrat primary race of today,
they would recognize it instantly. It
is a perfect Greek tragedy.
All the incredible amounts of
money being spent, all the frantic energy and hysteria, the entire swirling
maelstrom created by a vast cast of characters - all of it is for naught, for
there can be only one outcome, an inescapable outcome of doom.
The old playwrights would scoff
at our naïve notions of free will, our arguments that each of the participants
in the tragedy - such as the "superdelegates" - really do have the capacity to
act for themselves.
No, they would say, the
characters have no choice, for no matter what they do, they are drawn into a
trap of ineluctable fate, like a fly caught in a web of invisible silk strands,
so invisible he doesn't know he's caught while the spider approaches.
How else to explain, they would
ask, the behavior of Democrats such as Indiana party chairman Joe Andrew or
former national chairman Paul Kirk switching their superdel votes from Hillary
to Obama?
Nothing could be more blindingly
obvious, they would point out, that any possible hope of Obama being elected
president of the United States has been obliterated by his madman pastor. Yet here are the superdels flocking to the
loser immediately after the madman's speech of destruction, and pointedly
before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.
Hillary will handily win
Indiana, while Obama will win North Carolina on the strength of the black vote only. Indiana is a state the Dems could carry in
November, North Carolina they don't have a chance. Obama has lost every major state the Dems need in November, such
as California, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (the single
exception is his home state of Illinois).
Any sane person can clearly see
Jeremiah Wright has destroyed whatever slim chance Obambi Hussein had in the
first place. After the reverend reaffirmed
all his hate-America lunacies at the National Press Club, Obambi's attempt to
proclaim his "outrage" and throw the guy whose sermons he listened to for 20
years under the bus was pathetic.
Nobody bought the outrage. Some country singer could rocket to the top
of the charts right now with a song entitled, You cain't throw nobody under
the bus after the bus has done gone by.
It is over. Obama is toast. He was toast when Wright's "God Damn America" videos hit YouTube
last March, as we said in God Damn Barack Obama. It's only going to get worse from now
on. His associations with crooked
slumlords (Tony Rezko) and murderous terrorists (William Ayres), his
ultra-extreme pro-abortionism, his doctrinaire ultra-left liberalism, his
pro-Palestinian antipathy towards Israel... the list goes on, and it's barking
absurdity to think he has a ghost of a chance in November.
Yet the Dem leadership and
superdels are determined that he be their nominee. The 5th century Greeks would have understood the play.
A 4th century Greek
would understand what happens to the audience watching the play.
A great tragedy, Aristotle
(389-322 BC) said, provides the audience with the opportunity to experience katharos
- catharsis - a purging of the emotions of pity and fear.
Such an emotional purgation is
the great hope of this electoral campaign - the thrilling possibility that the
Democrat nomination of Barack Hussein Obama and his defeat in November may at last
purge millions of blue collar Democrat
voters of white guilt.
White guilt is, of course, the
dominating emotion within the Democrat Party.
Pity for the poor oppressed black and fear of their oppressed rage is
what gives the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson race hustlers the power to run the
victim/intimidation scam.
Exposure of the philosophy
behind the scam, the philosophy now instantiated in Obama's pastor called Black
Liberation Theology, is going to cause a ruinous political civil war between
black liberals - and cause masses of blue collar Dems to abandon white guilt.
Jeremiah Wright proclaims
himself a proponent of this theology, and its founder, James Cone, to be his
spiritual mentor. It is a theology
claiming to be Christian while being profoundly anti-Christian, for it is based
on hate, not love. Black racist hate
for whites.
All whites by their nature as
whites are oppressors. America, as a
nation founded and controlled by whites, is an evil, sinful, oppressor
nation. The purpose of blacks on earth
is not to seek salvation from Christ from sin, but salvation from the sin of
white oppression.
Obama's only path now is to
escalate his condemnation of these teachings, which are deeply believed in and
preached in a lot of black churches. A
massive catfight will ensue between the pro-Obama and pro-Wright/Cone
camps. Whatever the outcome for blacks,
it will serve to make millions of white Dem voters aware of the extent of black
racist hate.
The result could be Aristotle's
catharsis, folks purged of pity and fear of the victim/intimidation scam. Folks finally declaring:
"We don't care if your ancestors were slaves! You are not! Stand up like adults, stop pretending to be
children. Stop pretending to be victims.
Grow up and get over it. And don't
bother us with rage and intimidation.
We don't care if you're angry.
We just don't care anymore. No
more fear, no more pity, no more guilt."
White guilt is the only thing
that holds the Democrat Party afloat.
Take it away, and it's not just Obama who sinks, but the Dem Party
itself. A satisfying end to a true
Greek Tragedy.
