Even the nauseating lefty pinhead Fast Eddie Schultz of MSNBC, an early ’09 visitor to the Oval Office commented about it on the air. The Very Telling Self-Absorbsion (my words, not Ed’s)of that visual seemed to confuse Mr. Schultz. Not me, nor anybody with a brain to think,’Yo.

Then when it turned out no one could get access to Obama’s test-scores or grades in college (after all the fuss there’d been about this with Bush), then the “God damn America!” pastor whose church he’d been attending for years and supposedly was close to, then his friendship with Bill Ayers — well, all that plus my distaste for the rock star or religious-style worship we were seeing… I was repelled.

Yet all my friends were right there, focussed primarily, it seemed, on how cool it would be to elect a black president and how un-racist they’d all seem forever after. McCain was a weak candidate to oppose all this.

Psychopaths don’t soul search.

You kind of hit on something there – the unrelated experience of Obama’s closest advisors, such as Valerie Jarrett (Chicago machine politics and slumlord), Ben Rhodes (MFA in creative writing), and Samantha Power (journalist, scholar).

Easy to play the smartest guy in the room when you surround yourself with people like that.

Later, they burn down another one and go back to confession.

That’s Noonan or the prototypical Democrat slave.

One of the reasons Leftists hated Bush so much was because they thought we were like them, that Bush II was our messiah and if they could find some quotes of the conservative messiah commanding us to X, that would shut us up. They also hated the prophet and leader of a foreign god and religion.

Republicans, in general, and conservatives individually did not hate Democrats enough. They didn’t understand the meaning of Hate or why it was useful, or even why people hated America.

Hussein is a convenient prop and puppet, because it teaches people how to hate and what ought to be hated. But Hussein himself is only the tip of the Left’s iceberg.
