Why you should read The Camp of the Saints

The guy running that fine blog, Bob Belvedere has lots of cool content. I always enjoy his Spot on Quote of the Day which he awards to Russ of That’s Right who sums up Obama very well

Think about it. There’s little credible argument left that the man isn’t an inexperienced, immature, neo-Marxist ideologue who is in way over his head. Anybody who tries to argue otherwise is either stupid or lying. There is no third choice. And most of the time I don’t feel sorry for him because, as far as I know, nobody twisted his arm or put a gun to his head to make him run for President in such a precarious situation. But the other side of that coin is that someone had to vote for him for him to win. Nearly 67 million “someone’s” did just that in 2008 and put this waif in the White House. He wouldn’t be there if they hadn’t.

And it’s for that reason that I really do feel bad for Obama sometimes. If 10 million of those people took a measly five minutes to study the candidates, perhaps he, and we, wouldn’t be in the disastrous situation in which we find ourselves. It was his conscious decision to run for President when he should have known he wasn’t up for the job. But it was the 67 million idiots who voted for him that made that fact clear to the Country and the World at large.

The other reason I occasionally feel sorry for Obama is that he’s not a learner. I don’t think he was ever a learner before he became President and it’s all too clear after a year in office that he’s not one now. Any sensible, rational person learns three things from looking at and studying the political philosophy best characterized as “collectivism” and that is that, 1) it didn’t work, 2) it will never work, and 3) most importantly, it cannot work. Barack Obama is simply an absorber and a regurgitator; he is not a learner. His comments in his early life, on the campaign and during his first year in office are literally plagiarized from any collegiate socialist textbook. There’s no learning involved. There’s no contemplation involved. There is only a desperate need to believe in something that he hadn’t found anywhere else.

YES! YES YES! I was listening to Michael Medved the other day, who was aghast that anyone would question the intellect of Obama. Not that Medved is a big fan of Obama or anything, he just feels that challenging the “Obama is ultra-smart” propoganda makes Conservatives who do it look bad.

Sorry Michael, but there are several aspects to intelligence. And learning from history, from your mistakes AND the mistakes of others ia part of that. Obama obviously fails in that department. Medved also said that Obama must be intelligent, after all he did teach Constitutional law for years. Hmmm, I wonder, frankly, what the Hell he was teaching. We see first-hand his take on the Constitution. And again, with apologies to Mr. Medved, Obama either does understand the Constitution, or he just ignortes what it does  mean. No man who has studied the Constitution would push Cap and Trade, the massive spending, universal health care, and the punitive taxes Obama has and does. Obama’s voting record on gun rights also is deeply disturbing. Obviously, his view of the right keep and bear arms is far from that of the Founders.

Sorry Mr.Medved, but questioning the intellect of Obama is not a bad move at all. Frankly, the folks who need to rethink this are those who keep parroting the “Obama is the smartest guy in the room” line! Obama is smart in ways certainly. But in learning from history, common sense, he fails. And compared to the Founders? Do not even go there. They were wise men, Obama? Not so much!
