The World’s Most
Dangerous Community Organizer is leaving behind a country more divided than the
one he found.
“Voxsplainer” Ezra
Klein, a “narrow-minded fanatic with a mediocre IQ”, writing at The
American Prospect
in January 2008 fawned, “Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not
inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you
in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by and, just
for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence and your
role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of
word over flesh, over color, over despair. The other great leaders
I've heard guide us towards a better politics, but Obama is, at his best, able
to call us back to our highest selves, to the place where America exists as a
glittering ideal and where we, its honored inhabitants, seem capable of
achieving it and thus of sharing in its meaning and transcendence.”
One
month before Klein’s American Prospect
column was published, campaign buddy Oprah Winfrey lauded Obama to a football
stadium full of ardent supporters. “We
need a leader who’s going to touch our souls.
Who’s going to make us feel differently about one another. Who’s going to remind us that we are one
another’s keeper. That we are only as
strong as the weakest among us. South
Carolina: I do believe he’s the one.”
Thus
was born the messiah of the Left.
The
coronation of Crooked Hillary is now complete.
There was never any doubt this day would come. The fix was in.
When your own testimony is suspect, what you need are friends
who can make the case for you. That’s what Hillary got all this week: testimonials
from both Obamas, Joe Biden, her husband and daughter Chelsea. They held down the rhetorical
fort for her.
The Democrats
were forced to circle the wagons to protect themselves after WikiLeaks dumped
DNC emails that were devastating to the Party.
Additionally, the convention organizers had to be shamed into placing
American flags on the stage. They had to
be shamed into mentioning ISIS. They had
to be shamed into giving voice to the families of fallen police officers. The audience disgraced a moment of silence to
honor the fallen when they erupted into chants of “Black Lives Matter”.
For
Democrats it’s all about the stagecraft, the optics and subliminal perception. After all, they had to appear to be proud of
their nominee and feign patriotism to their television audience.

Byron
York noted, “Democrats
have attacked the theme of Donald Trump's campaign, "Make America Great Again,"
from the moment Trump became a serious contender for president. There is no
need to make America great again, they say, because it is already great. And
what makes this country great, many Democrats argue, is its racial, ethnic,
gender, and other diversity.”
In the most recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 73 percent
of registered voters said the country is on the wrong track, while just 18
percent said it is headed in the right direction. The 73 percent figure is the
second-highest in the president's nearly eight years in office. Americans have had enough of tone-deaf,
out-of-touch career politicians whose sole interest is to look out for Number
One instead of the American people.
And yet, the DNC
convention-goers erupted in rapturous applause every damned time they were force-fed
their pabulum of lies, deceit and Skittle-shitting unicorns.
The
cartoon accompanying this post is a parody of Michelangelo’s fresco painting The Creation of Adam which adorns the
ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The World’s
Most Dangerous Community Organizer, determined to defend his own accomplishments
and convince Americans to elect Hillary for what would amount to his third
term, is reaching out to create her in his likeness.
Americans
believe our nation is on the brink of collapse.
They fear the future. Two-thirds
of voters are convinced our country is on the wrong track. Our betters on the Left insist we are crazy
to think that way and we are fed groupthink from The Hive.
Their
argument falls on my deaf ears as I was reminded the other day of an HBO
Original Series The Newsroom. The premise of the series revolves around “Will
McAvoy” a news anchor who attended a panel discussion about why America was the
greatest country in the world.
McAvoy
delivers a beautifully delivered indictment of the state of American
culture. He took the position that
America is not the greatest country in the world but it can be.
