Entry: Obama and His Respondents and a Long Aside Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/obama_and_his_repondents_and_a_long_aside#24116 Post contents: The SPLC, ADL and like organizations are irrelevant. They cannot (and will not be permitted to) define justice, or acceptable discourse. They should not be answered or engaged. And they are in no position to hurt paleoconservatism because they are themselves bankrupt. I find that "good, educated people", if you like, no longer much care if they are called racists or anti-Semites, terms grown meaningless from promiscuous use. The anger in the country against immigration, outsourcing, spying and manipulation of our domestic politics by the likes of China and AIPAC, the shedding of American blood for Israel, the stripping of the American economy by multinationals and so forth, is an anger that borders on fury. In due course it will cross that border. The train has left the station on those crucial issues, and the SPLC, AIPAC, ADL and such like will be brushed aside. We need only to register that what power they possessed was ceded to them in the first place BY US, in a stupid, pointless abdication of our own will, our own superior moral discernment and worth, our own interests. Now we see where it has led, and are recalled to ourselves. As this is more widely realized, and it is, every day, there will be no need to answer them. Sent at: 2008 08 28
