Hail Obama! Take your pick, Obamists or Obamites

Rarely can you find such fanaticism nowadays that isn't tied to religion or fascism. Obama is these poor souls savior. Blind followers who are devoted to, "change", even if they do not know exactly how. But far be it for us to even dare to ask how from the Mocha Messiah.

Often times in hardships, or at least perceived hardships, the most radical of people often find themselves in positions of power when they exploit the emotions of the troubled masses. Adolf Hitler, Chairman Mao, Joseph Stalin and Fidel Castro are only a few dictators who come into mind when the going gets rough.

Well, if Obama wins, it will partially be our fault. Bush has been a poor example of true conservative leadership and has damaged the image of the party. Over the last eight years, Bush has been on the lips of the ivory tower pinheads preaching down to the impressionable youth who seek higher education and instead receive political re-education. The media and entertainment industry was an excellent propaganda machine and still is as they praise Obama night and day.

Obama in some ways has my respect as a true example of propaganda at its worst. The unstoppable combination of secrecy, charm and danger. But much like the Ron Paul fanatics, anything bad about his past is instantly turned into a conspiracy theory cooked up by everyone from Oil companies to right wingers.

Heck, why not just let Obama avoid paying taxes. He's practically a religion. My friend is an rabid Obama supporter. He is constantly trying to get me to vote for Obama because of my disgust with McCain. Now, I may want to deport McCain to Mexico and revoke his citizenship, but it's not like I like Obama any better.

The difference between people like me and Obamists, is that I know that my candidates are human, they are corruptible and sometimes down right sleazy. In fact, that is why I am conservative. To keep government small so that when sleaze-bags do manage to get into office, the damage they can do is severely lessened. Unlike the liberals who see government as the end all, be all, solution to the problems of the world. So when I see the wonder in their pot reddened eyes, clasping their hearts for their savior, Barack Hussein Obama, it almost breaks my heart.

One thing I do take away from his popularity is that our country is in distress. Only through extreme fear, poverty or dissatisfaction can people like Obama thrive.
