"A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda."Boy, doesn't that sound grand! We can be as economically stagnant and as socially fascist as the European Union.
And it's coming like a freight train.
Of course, there is the other reality: that most of the idiots who will vote for Obama haven't got a clue what he stands for. Have no idea how any of his vague promises would be implemented, or what the actual results would be, because they are completely ignorant of history, economics and harsh realities of the human condition, because the free-market system they so despise has protected them from the worst of it their enitre lives.
They are children, high too much sugar. And their manic impulse is destructive—
But when the mania subsides, and they see what they have wrought, we may find ourselves with an entire generation of newly minted "neo-cons".
Hey...it makes me feel better to think so, on this, the awful and terrible eve of the likely election of the preposterous Barack Obama and his harridan wife into the White House of my glorious country.
