The Refellation of a Demigod
John Nichols of The Nation pens a paean to Obama Soter on the occasion of the savior’s now-legendary speech before the Seduction of the Bratvolk. It is like a long mash note —full of girlish daydreams and the first suggestions of cocklonging. Enjoy (emphases mine):
The young senator from Illinois needed to establish himself as a credible world leader by going to Iraq and Afghanistan evidencing both his recognition of George Bush’s manifest mistakes and his willingness and ability to wage a functional fight against legitimate terrorist threats. Check!
He needed to establish himself as respected commander-in-chief by not just appearing for photo-opportunities with troops in the field but by connecting with soldiers so that that all Americans who recognize their confidence in the man who seeks the authority to send these young men and women into life-and-death battles. Check!
Mind you, these are just Nichols’ first thoughts on the subject. He goes on and on like this through much more of a very insubstantive and hugely egocentric speech —never once seeming to take notice of the stupidity in his own puerile and uncritical squeezings.
Is it really possible for a grown man —assuming that’s what Nichols is— to believe that the act of travelling to other countries and having your picture taken there “establishes” you as the most powerful man in the world? Seems like nobody thought too much of Bush the Younger declaring “Mission Accomplished” prematurely —but this unqualified liar is somehow made into a leader of men by no more virtue than being seen? What an embarrassing thought to be responsible for!
It is liberal-Left political analyses like Nichols’ that makes absolute nonsense of the truth. He and the people who think like him are nothing but propagandists for a totalitarian-minded demagogue. Where is the intellectual integrity in supporting Barack Hussein Obama when there is another candidate in this race whose patriotism, competence, experience, and recognizable humility are not in doubt?
