The Orwellian farce (and we all know that farces end in tragedy) that is Barack Obama and his commissars, er, administration got even more farcical when Top Thought Police Sergeant Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today.
At least the peace committee’s decision clarifies just exactly how we should think–never as George Bush but always as Barack Orwell, er, Obama.
But those of us who’ve been closely closely watching this media- and liberal-elite orchestrated takeover of America knew that all along. It’s now just a matter of time before the Obama thought Police silence all critics, even an insignificant one like me. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Fairness Doctrice reinstated and applied to the Web–even to the point that bloggers have to sign up for an open slot on the political spectrum–if you’re conservative, libertarian or the least bit Obama-critical anyway.
What struck me about the Nobel Peace Committee’s decision is not that it happened; that was guaranteed ages ago when Barack first started campaigning. No, what struck me was the timing of it all. Couldn’t they at least have waited until Barack did a photo op and brief handshake with a leading terrorist of the world, say the leader of Iran, Syria or Hamas? At least then they could pretend he was doing something for peace besides selling America out, which is exactly what he would do if he met any of those people anyway. I guess they didn’t care about the unseemliness of it all; it was more important to align Americans to the correct, socialistic way of thinking.
In the end, it must have been that making a concession speech abrogating American power in Cario, coupled with a genuflexion in front of King Abdoullah of Saudi Arabia, was enough in the way of credentials.
Advance notice: Next year’s Nobel Peace Prize will go to the world’s leading far-left propagandist, filmmaker Michael Moore.
Can’t wait, although think about it–Moore will have tough competition in Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden and maybe even a repeat for chief race-baiter Jimmy Carter.
I’m not so sure I’d characterize Barack Obama as The Joker, except that his policies will definitely have cruel consequences, i.e., the death of Americanism. He’s more like the Sun King of France who bankrupted his country ($75,000 for a New York dinner date with his wife at public expense to say nothing of a $3-trillion ANNUAL budget deficit?).
The thing is, you can’t criticize him without being labeled a racist by his liberal, non-thinking media supporters. (When William Buckley was set to give a speech once and the power went out in the auditorium, someone in the audience shouted: "Don’t worry, Bill. It’s just the liberals wanting you to see the world as they do." Just so.)
I was going to write about "Silence in D.C." about Obama and his utter unwillingness to stand on the side of the reformers in Iran battling a theocratic dictatorship, but then I came down with food poisoning.
So today, I came across this absolutely perfect cartoon called "He’s Barack Obama." Pictures being worth a thousand words each, this is absolutely priceless and shows you the farce our government has become:
So, the Great Man decrees it, and it shall be done, even if we all have to fall into Hiterlerian/Stalinesque worshipful lockstep–and that includes you too, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Witness the pictured arrogance of Barack Obama snubbing his foot at Netanyahu as he speaks on the phone with him, ordering an immediate surrender to Hamas and the Palestinians.
Simultaneously, news came out of Israel that Netanyahu was told by a visiting "American official": "We’re going to change the world. Please don’t interfere."
That could well have been George Mitchell, and it certainly wouldn’t be surprising. Doesn’t matter who it was, just that it shows the unbelievable hubris of Barack Obama and his team of ruffians.
Sure, they’ll change the world, and make George Orwell’s predictions come true.
If you were wondering about Barack Obama’s earlier genuflexion in front of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, matters came into clearer perspective when our Socialist-in-Chief gave a speech in Cairo. Even the Los Angeles Times, in an article entitled "Did speech reveal his sympathies?", wondered whether Obama is not really a Muslim at heart. (Strangely, the article appeared in the print edition, but I couldn’t find it online. Maybe the Times people were embarrassed that someone who counts might discover it, such as Obama himself.)
One interesting choice of words by Obama was "resistance" when he referred to the "brave Palestinians," who didn’t exist as a nation before Israel, but now somehow, in Euro-Dhimmitudiness, deserve to be a nation alongside the "Israeli homeland," which, by the way, the Jews deserve only because of the horrors of the Holocaust and not by any historical destiny or birthright.
Why didn’t he just tell his audience, "Don’t worry. It’s my goal to turn America into a Muslim nation ruled by Shari’a law"? I guess that would be too open.
Anyway, America has now copied and joined the pusillanimous Europeans, who kowtow in perfect Dhimmitude to the Muslims in their midst–and to those overseas. The next step for us, a la Europe, is to set up a Muslim institute in the U.S., so we can nurture our "mutual interest and mutual respect"–by becoming Muslim like our president. You will love the Dark Ages Part II, folks.
One would hope that Saint Hillary, who in reality is a real-life reincarnation of Gollum, would have a self-examination as the original Gollum did with with his untainted self Smeagle in Peter Jackson’s memorable Lord of the Rings. Instead, she just grows more desperate as her morally and mortally conflicted persona as America’s political Gollum sees her prize recede from grasp.
"My precious" now belongs to Hosanna Obama barring his demise from act of God or man, which I don’t wish on anyone.
Saint Hillary has already played the race card through surrogate self "Eye of Sauron" hubby Bill, and that didn’t do the trick. The Ring is still in someone else’s possession. So now her only hope is a) the Iowa and Florida trump card and b) a superdelegate sellout.
Gollum and Eye of Sauron will, of course, continue to sell their souls to achieve both a and b, but to no avail.
In the end, both will be plunged into the fiery pits of Mount Doom, losers in the battle to "rule them all."
We’ll all be the winners as Obama Hosanna then goes down to defeat to ersatz but better-than-nothing Republican John McCain.
It takes some gumption to put myself in the same category as the distinguished professor and columnist Thomas Sowell, but amen.
Sowell is one of the few people out there with either the sagacity or guts to proclaim that Barack Obama, in his much-acclaimed speech on needing a "dialogue on race," actually shut the door on any open discussion. Now, only Obama and his cronies will be able to talk about race.
Here are Sowell’s words:
Nothing is more fraudulent than calls for a "dialogue on race." Those who issue such calls are usually quick to cry "racism" at any frank criticism. They are almost invariably seeking a monologue on race, to which others are supposed to listen.
So, the Great Man decrees it, and it shall be done, even if we all have to fall into Hiterlerian/Stalinesque worshipful lockstep–and that includes you too, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
