So long as people want to fight a political battle with the Left, rather than treating it as a war, they will always fail.

America wanted Jackie Robinson.

Instead it got Jackie Wizseschnitzl.

(Who? Exactly.)

I am proud to say that, even before he was first elected, in 2008, that I said he would, IF elected, make us appreciate the quivering mound of incompetence that was the Jimmy Carter presidency. I am not happy I was correct, but I am happy about being correct… if you get my drift.

The puss will explode from the pustule.

Only at the end will all of his weird psychic defenses rupture.

We might even see him smoking in public.

Relevant to his psyche: his wife self-describes — “I’m a single mother.”

As for management ‘style’ he’s an angry autocrat.

Hence, his choice of passive-submissive appointees.

We have Mumbles as our Secretary of Defense!

History recording is NOT an objective science or art, and a classical historian like VDH should know that, especially at his age. History is not seismometry. History is written by the winners, and, since I believe we have passed a critical tipping point with the 2012 election, I have little doubt as to how ‘historians’ of the future will view Obama: He will be viewed as a Great Man, in the pantheon that includes Wilson, FDR, LBJ. And Black to boot.

If in doubt, just consider Zinn’s American History, used as the text in many if not most public high schools. That is the kind of history we have now and shall have in the future.

Here’s an idea for beleaguered California Republicans looking for someone to run against Gov. Jerry Brown in 2014: Why not Victor Davis Hanson? He’s an articulate advocate of the conservative point of view on the central political issues of the state— a farmer, scholar, charismatic speaker who combines broad knowledge with ground-level machismo. He’d have an appeal in the disaffected, depressed central valley, where he lives, and the yuppie coast. While he’s skeptical of the current rush to amnesty, he talks about illegal immigrants living in his area with compassion. He’s not a career pol like the other mentionees. He’s a real human being. He’s not a multimillionaire ex-CEO either (we’ve had enough of them). The media would have an excuse to cover him—the fish out of water angle—as long as he kept them amused. The debates with Jerry Brown would be highly informative.

I suppose it is possible that a new narrative and new laws really reassert our original foundation where people were prevented from making their living with their votes and our borders were strictly protected and diversity was bounded by the Constitution.

Hope for that or something just less, but there’s also the chance of something much worse.

I suppose that, as a life-long Democrat, he would run as a Democrat, which might give him an advantage in California. Were he to run, he is a Democrat worthy of a conservative’s vote.
