The Hitchens bug is going around
Obama has put conservatives on the couch, blue-collar workers he said are bitter about life due to economic conditions and so they often turn to things like religion and become pro-gun, anti-trade and anti-immigrant. Hillary blasted back calling him an elitist and says she learned as a kid how to shoot a gun, he makes an Annie Oakley and duck-blind comment which was actually quite funny, gone is the old Obama of political civility, Jay Leno could have written this one. This is it folks, the 12th round, the 9th inning and word has it, according to Bob Novak, that her "ousted" political advisor Mark Penn still has her ear. This is really fun entertaining stuff and I only wish we had this on the Republican side but that one was over way too early imo. The Hitchens Virus, it's a bug that first starts up, well you know where, and it concerns all things religious and revered through the ages. Don't hate, participate.

Now the phrase "anti-immigrant", I don't think most conservatives can rightly be accused of this even though I myself have a rather non-conservative position on the whole reform issue. Obama is simply throwing eggs on a canvas with that one, the more accurate term would be "anti-illegal immigrant". Don't ya just hate this, when people use sloppy language? My God, everyone of whatever political stripe now agrees that early immigration, the melting pot, is what made this country great, that is legal immigration, it'd be like saying conservatives want to go back to the pre-Jackie Robinson era in baseball, no one would take you seriously and Hillary was smart to take advantage of his comments and if she does make a surprise comeback in PA as some are predicting, hey talk about the blue-collar belt with the steel industry, Obama may have made the biggest mistake of his campaign.
ReplyDeletePretty bad timing on his part, but it was only a matter of time before his true nature came out.
ReplyDeleteYou know I always thought he was too nice a guy, too good to be true, the healer, the reconciliator and I myself, even if I were a lifelong Dem about to vote for him his comments would turn me off, after all there are some comments people make that I would put in the category of heartfelt sentiments, many many Catholics are Democrats as well so we'll see how this plays out, can't be good for him though.
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish we had a better candidate than McCain right now!
ReplyDeleteThe last of my .02, sometimes you're just better off voting for a boring person, it's almost like charisma throws you off and you swoon and you don't see the real nature as you say. I can even see Obama driving now and flipping somebody the bird and there'll be somebody with a picture phone, ooooh, delish!!!
ReplyDeletecaveat, I don't mean a boring RINO though, just wanted to clarify that.
ReplyDeleteGlad you clarified that, too bad our blogathon for Fred didn't take off.
ReplyDeleteGiven the current trio delight, this has all the makings of a great rebirth for conservatism.
ReplyDeleteWe do need a conservative renaissance, no doubt about it. Fred may be a little laid back but boring he ain't, I just wish he had stuck it out more, he hardly even gave it a go it seems to me.
ReplyDeleteEven though you don't hear much about McCain these days, this election should be a cake walk for him. But in some ways, having him in the White House will only hurt conservatism, since some believe his claims that he is a conservative. I'd almost prefer Hillary be in there and when things fall apart people will realize the path towards socialism is the wrong path to take.
ReplyDeleteI know you find the Cult of Obama disturbing and I kinda do too, Hillary'd be better and as for McCain many conservatives define conservatism any way they want it. You know there are even "conservatives" who proudly call themselves big-government conservatives, I kid you not.
