Obama's Victory -- A British view -- An editorial from the London Daily Mail
A
victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah
Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago,
Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who
claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely
powerful special interest groups.
A
victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.
A
victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but
has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in
between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.
Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over
reality.
A
victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory
for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will, and interference to
independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather
than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step
with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom.
He
and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be
balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement.
Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and
Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are
drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said
that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other
words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be
cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any
criticism and opposition.
A
victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children
than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for
those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards
its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face
of a leftist celebrity.
A
victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful
conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment,
inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation.
A
victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and
urban snobs.
Congratulations America !
