Between work, opportunity, and paying attention to the other important editorializing I do, I’m not able to keep this blog up as well as I’d like.

Besides, I’m incredibly burned out from watching three liberal idiots vie for the role of leader of the free world. [1] Ann Coulter is right when she points out that the McCain-Feingold legislation has seriously damaged the franchise. If a mind like that of John McCain had existed in the Senate in the late 1960s or early 70s, Ronald Reagan would never have been president. The committed conservatives that helped him get started would have been prohibited from lending him a hand. Right now, I can’t think of a single soul on earth… excluding most of those on death row… more detestable than John McCain.

Quick Thoughts on the Campaign

The most heinous result of the McCain-Feingold legislation is that only a condescending, venal, intellectually-excrescent rube like John McCain could navigate its shoals to secure Republican nomination. Only a completely self-interested, spiteful prick on a blinkered-vision quest could pass the gantlet while securing absolutely zero support from traditionally mindful conservatives - the only folks still in possession of the keys to conservatism as it was established by Kirk, Meyer, Buckley and their contemporaries.

Hillary Clinton is toast, not so much because she ran a bad campaign, but because she expected most Democrats to be more intellectually deep in their decision-making than they actually are. Most Democrats are lemmings, wanting to be led, fed and tucked into bed at night by the nanny state; at least most of those supporting Obama are.

As much as I hate to say it, Hillary is the least disgusting candidate left.

Barack Hussein Obama is a side effect of four decades of Affirmative Action. This detritus of the civil rights movement has crippled the thinking of too many that spent their most productive career years dealing with the guilt-imposing mandates of bad policy. The best example of this can be gleaned if one examines the reasons why Obama appears to have gotten the support of a hefty plurality of moderate and slightly left of center white male hippies who became yuppies and are now becoming AARP-ies.

Most of the white, male neo-retiree support for “this black guy” does not arise from any sense of “hope.” It’s not driven by desire for true “change.” It comes from an absurd rationalization that electing a black man will finally “make all the blacks shut up about racism.” It’s pretty much the same reckoning that generation’s parents used to sell themselves into caving in about Affirmative Action in the first place. If it leads to a November Obasm, the disappointment will only be greater this time.

Bad choices in the 60s led to a situation in which every single black admitted to a higher station in any traditional Western hierarchy - education, corporate or social - is automatically (and quietly) expected to be somehow inferior, regardless of whether access to the station might have been earned without Affirmative Action’s help. I suspect that Barack would have risen pretty high without Affirmative Action, while his wife would not have gotten very far.

We’d all have been far better off, and blacks would have been more reasonably accepted, had racial access barriers simply been removed and replaced by strict merit promotion. Yes, progress would have happened at a much slower pace, but I believe it would have been better for black esteem and race relations in the long run.

It’s just stupid to expect some different result in applying the same thinking process to electing a president, but that’s what many folks are doing.

Considering how expectations are sure to be skewed beyond reason if he’s elected, the only way Obama might avoid making his immediate predecessor look like a far better president would be for an Obama Administration to govern from the center-right while continuing the con game with his enraptured supporters.

That just isn’t going to happen.

Thanks to Affirmative Action, today’s America can be conned by a clever Black Liberation Theologist selling himself as a messiah; bitter disappointment is the only possible result. Oil and water coalitions do not remain in emulsion for very long.

It isn’t going to end well if we elect this guy.
