To borrow a phrase from Barack Hussein Obama's racist mentor, "America's chickens have come home to roost." The radical left strategized to take over the country from within by taking over education, where children could be indoctrinated from an early age. They accomplished their goal. BHO is the one they've been waiting for. While universities and colleges used to be bastions of free thinking, they have become effectively concentration camps for liberal and radical philosophies. That's why people like William Ayers, Khalidi, Angela Davis and a host of other terrorists are so accepted in our universities. The press has abandoned any pretense of objectivity and prostituted itself on the altar of radical liberalism. As an institution, the MSM was in on a tacit agreement not to vet the most unqualified, radical Presidential candidate in our history. The First Amendment is only enforced for politically correct speech approved by BHO and his henchmen. Republicans allowed themselves to be cowed by the Left because they didn't want the persistent labels of racist, unfair, mean, greedy, etc. to be hurled their way. So they gave up principles in return for pats on the back awarded for "reaching across the aisle" and "bi-partisan" efforts. They let the Democrats press them to compromise while the Democrats seldom would. And they took the blame for economic policy failures which were largely the fault of the Democrats. They deviated from their principles and allowed a charlatan to assume power. They nominated a John McCain on the mistaken notion that a RINO would attract more independents when people were looking for a leader not a senator. While touting campaign finance laws for decades, the Left flouted them in this election and thought nothing of its candidate's fraud and deceit in eschewing public financing after committing to it. They winked at the irregularities in his fund raising activities. Despite shrill cries of voter fraud for the past 8 years, the Left thought nothing of the massive fraud perpetrated by ACORN and similar front organizations for the Dem party. No campaign finance irregularities or voter fraud will be seriously investigated. That could interfere with the narrative of BHO as the savior. The young people who voted for BHO have a rude awakening coming when they try for material success. That's the funny thing about the under 30's. They've been told since childhood that they are special, that trying is the same as winning, and that fairness is the ultimate arbiter of political action regardless of efficacy. They don't realize that's only in a world where the nomination or election of a BHO causes ocean levels or green house gases to recede. Just wait until BHO is through with them. I'm glad I have no children. The only bright spots of the election outcome are the fact that the Democrats will have no one but themselves to blame for the disasters of the next 4 years, although they will whine for at least 2 years about how much worse things were than they realized. The other bright spot is that the sniping opportunities for each misstep of BHO will be legion.
