LONDON DAILY MAIL
editorial: On Obama's victory
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad
racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned
any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America
largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous
and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special
interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory
for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but
has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for
cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor
with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over
history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the
world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to
independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality
rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to
be out of step with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have
already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced,
without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like
most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and
Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are
drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck
Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should
talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of
popular expression may well be cornered and b eaten by bullies who even
in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition. A victory for
those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than
the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for
those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak
towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the
tears on the face of a leftist celebrity. A victory for social
democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion
that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment,
inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for
intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban
snobs.
Congratulations America !
