This assumes that the hard left will be able to resist the “call of the wild”. Obama will have to restrain the people that put him into power. The Ayers’ and Wrights and community organizers ad nausium. His own administration will be packed these types.

Most of them will be vicious if not stupid and in most cases both. Think of Jimmy Carter with a cabinet drawn from the ranks of the SDS, Weather Underground and Yippies. Imagine barely restrained corruption and profiteering paired with humorless, doctrinaire, Marxoid, enablers.

The economy is in poor shape right now and it is not a transient phenomena. It is beset with deep,structural problems which will only worsen in the next four years. None of the candidates will be able to rectify the mess we are in and in fact they will all see it as an opportunity to increase the power of the state for the benefit of their clients. Let Obama hold the bag and the left with him.

When Obama leaves office, we’ll still be left with a nationalized health program, at least one more lost war, and one or two radical Supreme Court judges.

And don’t forget that economic performance is about more than government policy. It is entirely possible that we will have good economic years under an Obama presidency, despite damaging new policies. There is no guarantee that people will look back on Obama years as a dismal failure. With a moderately decently performing economy, and a steady drum-beat of positive media spin for the new Camelot years, we could very well end up with a population far more supportive of the downward trends you hope to turn around.

Bad policies can be rolled back when sanity returns. The Red Guards of the cultural Marxist vanguard will go nuts during an Obama administration. This will be independent of any government program, it is the nature of the beast. Look for all sorts of triumphal rubbing it in for openers. The reaction to this (if it comes) will be worth the price. I don’t see a downside, frankly, if there’s no fight left in the America I was born into I’d just as soon have it ended swiftly.

Under ordinary circumstances, an injection of Obama’s loony left, racially aggrieved mentality into the highest office in the land would be too risky. Four years is time to do an incredible amount of damage.

Yet, as you say, the situation is now so extreme, the country in such a state of subservience to cultural Marxism, rapidly being turned into an overpopulated Third World dump via invited colonization, that to carry on as we are offers no hope of amelioration.

Almost any other Republican candidate might have offered a less ominous alternative to Obama. But John McCain may be even more dangerous than Obama, simply because (to those who aren’t paying close attention) he seems to offer a more “normal” path. In reality, his thinking (if you can call it that) isn’t significantly different from Obama’s, and he’ll take us in the same direction, while claiming to be a Republican or even conservative.

The flap over Reverend Wright has already forced some to become conscious of what they were determined to ignore, the widespread social pathology and racism among a segment of the black population. An Obama presidency would place the whole spectacle of identity politics, double standards, and political correctness center stage day after day in a way that even the liberal media mind-control apparatus would be unable to suppress.

And I still think Bush was better than the alternative.
