Where are we headed? A prognosis in an article by Canadian columnist David Solway, posted at PJ Media, should be Required Reading (read the whole thing here), but I wonder if the people who need to read it will do so.
Let me begin with a categorical statement that, given current
events and recent political history, can be easily defended: Barack Hussein
Obama is a willful, indoctrinated child of the Left with strong Islamic
sympathies who is not fit to govern. Indeed, he would not be fit to govern Lower Slobovia,
let alone the United States of America. Obama is a historic disaster of the
first magnitude and, if not restrained, he will see to the irrevocable decline
of the country which foolishly elected him, leaving the world on the brink of a
conflict — or in the midst of one — whose repercussions cannot be underestimated.
. . .
What will it take to convince the ersatz aristocracy of
frivolous intellectuals and brainless celebrities, partisan journalists,
editors and academics, and an indifferent or deluded laity that they are
heading for a crisis that will change our lives immeasurably for the worse? The
evidence is beyond dispute.
. . .
One must hope that America will come to its collective senses
before it is too late. But I am afraid that it will take nothing less than a
major catastrophe, a fiscal implosion that takes the “food” out of food stamps,
coupled with more high-casualty terrorist attacks both abroad and on its own
soil, leading to the eruption of civil unrest and the possible impeachment of
the most destructive president in the entire pageant of American history — a
sorcerer’s apprentice in a house on fire or a Machiavellian schemer following a
carefully contrived plan — before America emerges from its devastating slumber.
Assuming, of course, that it ever does, or that a path to recovery will still
be possible. For nothing is guaranteed in a nation so divided as America is
today.
One wonders if Speaker John Boehner, Rep. Paul
Ryan, or Sen. Rob Portman bother with articles at PJ Media? Maybe we should all
be forwarding links, or cutting-and-pasting the text to their offices.
