Hitchens on the death of the last hope…the U.S.




 

 

 


Fools, you know who you are but if you’ve had a lapse of memory,
I remind you of who you are.  You are the ones still worshiping at the
altars of the Dem & Rep parties….the ones who still think there’s a
difference in the 2 parties, who think of Hannity, Linbaugh, Boortz, O’Reilly,
etc. as truth-seekers.  The ones who believe we still have Representative
Government and vote for incumbents.  …you’re the Fools. 

 

If you are interested in the unvarnished truth, read every word
of Peter Hitchens piece below, especially the 2nd & 3rd
paragraphs from the bottom, describing the reaction of aliens to the Obama
election.  If that doesn’t sober you up, nothing will and you are indeed a
fool.

 

Kindest regards,

Joe

 

Sadly,
this is what the world thinks of us now………….

London Daily Mail – a view from across the pond

**_From The London
Daily mail:_** 

 
by Peter
Hitchens 

 
**The night we waved goodbye to America… our last best hope
on Earth** 

 
 
Anyone would think we
had just elected a hip, skinny and youthful replacement for God, with a plan
to modernise Heaven and Hell – or that at the very least John Lennon had come
back from the dead. 

 
The swooning frenzy
over the choice of Barack Obama as President of the United States must be
one of
the most absurd waves of self-deception
and
swirling fantasy ever to sweep through an advanced civilisation
. At
least Mandela-worship – its nearest equivalent – is focused on a man who
actually did something.  

I really don’t see how
the Obama devotees can ever in future mock the Moonies, the Scientologists or
people who claim to have been abducted in flying saucers. This is a cult like
the one which grew up around Princess Diana, bereft of reason and hostile to
facts. The night America changed: Barack and Michelle Obama in Chicago 

 
It already has all the
signs of such a thing. The newspapers which recorded Obama’s victory have
become valuable relics. You may buy Obama picture books and Obama calendars
and if there isn’t yet a children’s picture version of his story, there soon
will be.  

Proper books,
recording his sordid associates, his cowardly voting record, his
astonishingly militant commitment to unrestricted abortion and his blundering
trip to Africa, are little-read and hard to find. 

 
If you can believe
that this undistinguished and conventionally Left-wing machine politician is
a sort of secular saviour, then you can believe anything.
He
plainly doesn’t believe it himself. His cliche-stuffed, PC clunker of an
acceptance speech suffered badly from nerves. It was what you would expect
from someone who knew he’d promised too much and that from now on the easy
bit was over.  

He needn’t worry too
much. From now on, the rough boys and girls of America’s Democratic Party
apparatus, many recycled from Bill Clinton’s stained and crumpled entourage,
will crowd round him, to collect the rich spoils of his victory and also tell
him what to do, which is what he is used to. Just look at his sermon by the
shores of Lake Michigan. He really did talk about a ‘new dawn’, and a
‘timeless creed’ (which was ‘yes, we can’). He proclaimed that ‘change has
come’. He revealed that, despite having edited the Harvard Law Review, he
doesn’t know what ‘enormity’ means. He reached depths of oratorical drivel
never even plumbed by our own Mr Blair, burbling about putting our hands on
the arc of history (or was it the ark of history?) and bending it once more
toward the hope of a better day (Don’t try this at home).  

I am not making this
up. No wonder that awful old hack Jesse Jackson sobbed as he watched. How he
must wish he, too, could get away with this sort of stuff.  

And it was interesting
how the President-elect failed to lift his admiring audience by repeated –
but rather hesitant – invocations of the brainless slogan he was forced by
his minders to adopt against his will – ‘Yes, we can’. They were supposed to
thunder ‘Yes, we can!’ back at him, but they just wouldn’t join in. No
wonder. Yes we can what exactly? Go home and keep a close eye on the tax
rate, is my advice. He’d have been better off bursting into ‘I’d like to
teach the world to sing in perfect harmony’ which contains roughly the same
message and might have attracted some valuable commercial sponsorship. 

 
Perhaps, being a
Chicago crowd, they knew some of the things that 52.5 per cent of America
prefers not to know. They know Obama is the obedient servant of one of the
most squalid and unshakeable political machines in America. They know that
one of his alarmingly close associates, a state-subsidised slum landlord
called Tony Rezko, has been convicted on fraud and corruption charges.  

They also know the US
is just as segregated as it was before Martin Luther King – in schools,
streets, neighbourhoods, holidays, even in its TV-watching habits and its
choice of fast-food joint. The difference is that it is now done by unspoken
agreement rather than by law. 

 
If Mr Obama’s election
had threatened any of that, his feel-good white supporters would have
scuttled off and voted for John McCain, or practically anyone. But it
doesn’t. Mr Obama, thanks mainly to the now-departed grandmother he
alternately praised as a saint and denounced as a racial bigot, has the huge
advantages of an expensive private education. He did not have to grow up in
the badlands of useless schools, shattered families and gangs which are the
lot of so many young black men of his generation. 

 
If the nonsensical
claims made for this election were true, then every positive discrimination
programme aimed at helping black people into jobs they otherwise wouldn’t get
should be abandoned forthwith. Nothing of the kind will happen. On the
contrary, there will probably be more of them.  

And if those who voted
for Obama were all proving their anti-racist nobility, that presumably means
that those many millions who didn’t vote for him were proving themselves to
be hopeless bigots. This is obviously untrue. 

Yes we can what?:
Barack Obama ran on the ticket of change 

 
I was in Washington DC
the night of the election. America’s beautiful capital has a sad secret. It
is perhaps the most racially divided city in the world, with 15th Street –
which runs due north from the White House – the unofficial frontier between
black and white. But, like so much of America, it also now has a new
division, and one which is in many ways much more important. I had attended
an election-night party in a smart and liberal white area, but was staying
the night less than a mile away on the edge of a suburb where Spanish is
spoken as much as English, plus a smattering of tongues from such places as
Ethiopia, Somalia and Afghanistan.  

As I walked, I crossed
another of Washington’s secret frontiers. There had been a few white people
blowing car horns and shouting, as the result became clear. But among the
Mexicans, Salvadorans and the other Third World nationalities, there was
something like ecstasy.  

They grasped the real
significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally
switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the
Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative
people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which
have ruined so much of the rest of the world. 

 
Suspicious of welfare
addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its
own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and
part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was
unique. 

 
These strengths had
been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration
and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the
failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the
cultural and moral fronts.  

They preferred to
posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and
sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on
their behalf in far-off deserts. And now the US, like Britain before it, has
begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad.
Where
now is our last best hope on Earth?
