Nailed it.

‘Obama is an empty construct of what the future was supposed to be; young charismatic, post-racial, post-partisan and solution-oriented. Now he’s already becoming old and outdated, a future that was, a future that might have been, a poster on an aging Occupier’s wall, a fading magazine cover, another progressive dead end for a movement always dreaming of a tomorrow that never comes…’
Daniel Greenfield

    The scary thing is that so many fell for it, twice. Makes one really wonder how far we’ve really come.

    We in the west like to think of ourselves as more civilized, more advanced and all that, but we’re just as capable of refusing to acknowledge reality and looking at facts placed in front of us. We’re not very different from the barbarians of old believing in potions, chicken bones and whatever hocus-pocus is shown to them. We’re susceptible to the same stupidity.

    The barbarians of old are still about and never go away – just sleeping. A hip suit and nice car doesn’t make for real civilisation.

    Please bring back nested commentary KG. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yes.gif

    Mathew, if I manage to stop procrastinating, I will complete at least one post in my series of screeds on the regrettable reality of how many of us are susceptible to group think – the consensus understanding of anything. The things that “everybody knows.” Our intelligentsia thinks themselves more civilized; the hell to pay for anyone who dares suggest they’re not. Burn the evidence and the detectives who found it.

    And it is not just our wannabe rulers.

    All of us, as a general rule, hate to fight the consensus we find surrounding us lest we find ourselves on the receiving end of my next sentence. Most of us react instantly negatively to anyone who dares violate our consensus. The sociopaths have been tremendously successful in tiptoeing past that minefield while condemning most of the rest of us to the mines they themselves placed.
