I don’t expect the Right-Wing to be happy about Obama’s victory, but this from Melanie Phillips for The Spectator reads in my mind like a latter day version of Enoch Powell‘s notorious “Rivers of Blood“.
So the answer to my question turned out to be yes, America really was going to do this. A historic moment indeed. The hyperbole for once is not exaggerated: this is a watershed election which changes the fate of the world. The fear however is that the world now becomes very much less safe for all of us as a result. Those of us who have looked on appalled during this most frightening of presidential elections – at the suspension of reason and its replacement by thuggery — can only hope that the way this man governs will be very different from the profile provided by his influences, associations and record to date. It’s a faint hope – the enemies of America, freedom and the west will certainly be rejoicing today.
What?!? The world less safe? Is that possible? Bush has been ignoring global warming at the behest of his paymasters the Oil Companies for eight long years – let alone a bloody war fought over that very same oil. Then Phillips moves on to the ugly question of race – as far as such views are tolerated here in the UK which is thankfully not very far.
What this election tells us is that America voted for change because America is in the process of changing – not just demographically by becoming less white and more diverse, but as the result of a culture war in which western civilisation is losing out to a far-left agenda which has become mainstream, teaching American children to despise the founding values of their country and hijacking discourse by the minority power-grab of victim-culture.
Culture war that the West is losing – I’d suggest Phillips takes a look around – I’d consider the problems of Western culture much more to do with, appealing to the lowest common denominator than any far-left agenda. And then
Millions of Americans remain lion-hearted, decent, rational and sturdy. They find themselves today abandoned, horrified, deeply apprehensive for the future of their country and the free world. No longer the land of the free and the home of the brave; they must now look elsewhere.
Abandoned, horrified, apprehensive – surely we’re talking about Bush – no of course we’re talking about Obama.
Finally, Phillips takes Obama to task over links with the Nation of Islam, I’m guessing there really isn’t much in this story otherwise surely McCain would have used this; or is her man above that? And, not to miss a swipe at the Labour government – Gordon Brown’s securement from the Saudis of more money for The International Monetary Fund is “the Islamisation of the west proceeding according to plan“. If my memory serves me right haven’t we always loved Saudi money, I seem to remember the Thatcher government being very keen on Saudi money for weapons, yes, you remember too – still according to Phillips.
Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson are delivering Britain and the west into Dhimmitude.
Dhimmitude is an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands – and looking at how we treat the Saudis, that’s been going on for decades; still let’s not let facts get in the way of a stories punch line.
This is supposedly serious journalism! I must stop looking into the sewer that is the Tory Press.
