NOVAE MILITIAE

As I note in the blog entry below, we Old Rightists have no prospect of electing any of our own to political office.  As the old Baptist preacher C.H. Spurgeon said, "Of two evils, choose neither."  So, we don't go with the neocon's argument that the principled vote is for the lesser of two evils.  That is especially the case when we will have, in this election, a GOP candidate who is barely the lesser of the two evils.

So, we paleocons have no one, no party.  We're utterly marginalized, but we stand here on the margins penning the future's authoritative narrative about a nation and a culture that is rapidly going down the tubes.  And our descendants will marvel that so few people listened to us.

He was in San Francisco (or San Fran-Sicko, as Michael Savage calls it), speaking to the standard folks there; people who, by everyone else's standard, aren't so standard.  So, of course, wanting to be Rome on the Potomac's next Caesar, he panders:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Well.

That certainly had to be a message that resonated deeply with the citizens of the Emerald City.  Here's a photo from a rally that took place in that city the night after Bush was elected in 2004:

I guess it simply doesn't dawn on Boy Obama that Middle Americans don't cling to these things and harbor these attitudes merely because the Bush's and the Clintons chased their jobs away.   No, the rationale for all that isn't quite so superficial, and what's more, it's motivated in no small part by we see in fledgling tyrants such as the smooth-talking senator who's asking for the keys to the car. 

Now, Obama's handlers are going to be lecturing and coaching him for the next several days, I'm sure, in hopes of preventing something like this from ever tumbling forth from his fool lips again - at least this side of Nov. '08.  But we shouldn't be under any illusions: this is what the adolescent from Illinois really thinks of Middle America, and there's likely no shifting it.

Not that Juan Mequeno is the alternative.  No, Middle Americans would do well to either just sit this one out or vote third party.  Individuals such as Mequeno are simply f_ _ _ing Middle America from South of the border.

Waste 'em all in your perpetual war in the Middle East, so they won't be available for a *real* war.
