hehe, I didn't look through the whole site. Like anyone else I don't believe everything I read. There must be some truth in that piece I posted. He is being portrayed as America's Saviour. That isn't right. I for one can see right through that. He's the wolf the rest are sheep.
I like websites like that. I'm a David Ickes fan.
I think the Obama supporters' hearts are in the right place. There is no political progress without an idea articulated and supported by a movement. It's like the populist message of Bobby Kennedy. Sometimes it sounds lofty but so what? I mean what was Reagan's Morning in America and Shining City on a Hill or Bush's 1000 points of light other than rhetoric. I think the only people taking the hyperbolic "Savior" criticism seriously are Obama's opponents and detractors.
Here are the national narratives being developed about Obama: He's a deluded Savior/christ figure, he's all flowery talk with no substance, he's unpatriotic, he's a far left ultra-liberal politician. None of those criticisms are very good and some are just patently false: he's not unpatriotic and he's hardly a liberal poltician.
When I see someone posit one of those narratives as a bona fide criticism of Obama, I know that's not a serious critique of the candidate's platform. It's BS.
Obama wasn't my first choice for president. He wasn't my second choice even. But if he is the democratic nominee, he will get my vote. He seems competent and McCain is just another Bush rubber-stamp so I'll choose the Obama.
I don't think anything of it, they can have that opinion. Some are blinded by party politics. The people calling Ron Paul insane should have their sanity checked before calling him insane.
Where has dismissing Paul's critics outright gotten you so far? Your political opponents must be met head on. If there's one thing I learned from these debate boards, it's that nothing is obvious or self-evident where political prejudice exists.
