I was listening to Leo and Megan who are usually pleasant to listen to and often informative, but they started talking about politics. They are left coast leftists, incredibly clueless. The context was that they do book picks for an advertisement. This week they picked Obama's book, because Megan didn't really know much about the guy and she wanted to learn more.
So, Leo uses this opportunity to take a swipe at President Bush. Leo said you have to write a book now before you run for president, and perhaps we should have noticed that before back when Bush was running. Now, there are a lot of things that Bush has done that I don't like, but this cheap shot immediately had me thinking one thing:
Hitler wrote a book before he rose to power too.
Maybe Obama can teach you what a fascist really is, as Gerald Augustinus noticed:
Apart from being an uber-baby-killing-advocate, Obama is a great success in marketing crap that won't benefit the fools who buy it - something quite common in business. A stupid slogan, borrowed from the illegal-alien-marches - "Yes we can!", embarrassing to anyone over 14, is repeated by "well-educated", dreamy-eyed libs everywhere. It's plain stupid to expect any great, life-changing deeds from any politician. I'd rather have an opportunist than a "visionary" - those are the really dangerous ones. Maybe it's because I'm from Austria that hysterically chanting masses don't fill me with much confidence. The collective is always dumber and more dangerous than an individual. Looking to a politician as a quasi-Messiah is dangerous, whether they're chanting "Yes we can!" or "Sieg Heil!" Looking for government as the Big Nanny is a fascist feature, whether it's downright evil, like the National Socialists, or stunting, suffocating in a "we know what's good for you" way of our own socialists.
The term willfull ignorance comes to mind.
