Some of my favorite articles and links come from Amy. I wanted to pass this one along as it echoed what I have wondered for some months: why are so many-- believers and non-believers alike-- are being swept up in Ob@ma's campaign, seemingly regardless of his qualifications or disqualifications?
Ob@ma's appeal to the middle class is an appeal to the "the proletariat," as an infamous philosopher once described it, about which a mythology has been created. Rather than pursue the American Dream, he insists that the American Dream has arbitrary limits, limits Ob@ma would set for the rest of us — today it's $250,000 for businesses and even less for individuals. If the individual dares to succeed beyond the limits set by Ob@ma, he is punished for he's now officially "rich." The value of his physical and intellectual labor must be confiscated in greater amounts for the good of the proletariat (the middle class). And so it is that the middle class, the birth-child of capitalism, is both celebrated and enslaved — for its own good and the greater good. The "hope" Ob@ma represents, therefore, is not hope at all. It is the misery of his utopianism imposed on the individual.

Can i just say that I checked out "The Corner', a blogspot on NRO -- fabulous stuff. I just had a lengthy read-aloud session with Danica of some of their fascinating essays. Educational, to say the least.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteScary, isn't it? Most of what comes out of Obama's mouth sounds quite similar to something I heard Nicolai Carpethia say... Maybe God will allow Obama to become President so that He can return once and for all... at least his election would put us one step closer to what we all know is coming.
