Entry: A Paleo Epitaph Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_paleo_epitaph#22913 Post contents: <I>I think of support for Obama as part of the historical dialectic, which despite being co-opted by Marx, is not without merit in diagnosing historical patterns. The election of Bush did not result in End Times, nor will the election of Obama. But the two sides will most certainly beat the living s**t out of each other, which is how the Founders designed it. And the paleocon-libertarians shall inherit the earth. Now what’s wrong with that?</I> I think it an unachievable result based upon an irrational idea. Bush has vastly increased the powers of the Presidency. Obama, a much more charismatic and intelligent politician, will both increase (faster and bigger - a Steve Austin Socilaist, if you will) the size of govt while concretising all of the previous advances in that direction accomplished by Bush and Cheney. The Dems will increase the size of their plurality in both House and Senate and the Republicans will be feckless, when they are not whiny, in their opposition. And a young Barack will be reelected. A vote for Obama is a vote in favor of increasing the rapidity of the move towards tyrannical socialism. I do not understand how that predictable result can be considered a win for those who cherish a civilised liberty. The direction the country is moving is left. It is a very STRONG move left. We are becoming more and more socialised. And the more the country becomes socialised the more I read and hear that when theycountry REALLY moves left it will benefit conservatives. Raider Fan could not stand to be in the same Stadium with other Raider Fans who told him that every time the Denver Donks scored a touchdown that was a win for the Raiders. When the socialist are being elected liberty is losing. And no magical thinking can make that reality disappear. The idea that voting for a Marxist racist will benefit civilised liberty is an idea so insane that only an intellectual could believe it. Sent at: 2008 05 15
