I’ve felt for the past few months that our nation must be going through one of those mass-insanity, mob-rule periods like the Salem witch trials or the Prohibition era or the McCarthy pinko scare. I imagine that history will not look kindly on this time. Future schoolchildren will wonder what possessed us all and what side would they have been on in the witchhunt of 2008.
I could have written that myself. In fact, a few years from now if I come across that paragraph in some data dumpster dive, I’ll probably think I did write it. It’s exactly how I feel.
I’m feeling it especially today, with the news that Obama is planning to keep Bush’s faith-based programs. God almighty. How much clearer can it get? Coming on top of the FISA immunity thing, the campaign finance reversal, and the trial balloon about keeping Gates on as Secretary of Defense, it’s a miracle of nature that the possums can’t see what this guy is about. If he started showing up at press conferences wearing a flight suit, do you think they’d get it then? (Answering self: no; see insanity, mass.)
None of this is a surprise to us PUMAs, who have been sounding the alarm since before we were PUMAs. I stand by what I said here, which is pretty much what I’ve been saying for months: Obama represents the metastasization of the Republican cancer to the Democratic Party. That’s why we’re fighting him. How many Republican parties do we need in this country, anyway?
