BlankFellow Americans:
The endorsement of former Senator Edwards makes it increasingly likely
that
the oldest of the two, once Major Mainstream American Parties, the
Democratic Party, will actually nominate the son of an East African visa
holder--not one of the sources of any part of traditional American culture
(White or Black)--a candidate, whose whole mantra appears to be a very
enthusiastic intent to change that culture in some less than clearly
defined
direction. Senator Obama, is clearly not one of those adopted sons who
seeks to vindicate the vision of the Founding Fathers, rather one who
completely rejects that vision, and would substitute a new one of unknown
or
less than clear origins.
The Reverend Wright controversy has pointed out the questionable
associations of Senator Obama, but what has been generally missed in the
commentary thereon, is that Obama is clearly more antagonistic to American
culture even than Reverend Wright--who though he may blame White folk for
Black folks problems, at least believes in the traditional American
concept
of self-help and personal responsibility. Obama has said that that will
not
work unless we "change America." (But in his other remarks and
associations, he clearly also plays and accepts the blame game. He may
not
believe that we invented AIDS as an experiment in genocide, but rejection
of
a particular fantasy does not alter his basic drift on the subject of
race,
and that is no different than Reverend Wright's.)
The bottom line is that Obama is actually less suited to be President than
his former Pastor, and no rational person would suggest that we elect
Reverend Wright, simply because he does applaud personal responsibility.
We
need to focus public attention on this, or we are going to face a real
nightmare in only a few short months.

spectrum, consider our essay on "Leftwing Chickens Coming Home":
