Mass Hypnosis and Mass Hysteria Are Not "Beautiful."
They are downright scary to thinking people.
Obama is no JFK, nor is he Jesse Jackson.
Jesse Jackson had the ability to inspire the strongest and best in each individual, while encouraging people to work together.
Obama "borrows" his words and his different styles from those who are truly great using them to whip the crowds into a frenzy the way an evangelist preacher or a snake oil salesman would, promising miracle cures for the Middle East and the economy, that he cannot come through with any more than the miracle cures for all ills promised by the evangelists or snake oil salesmen.
Do you think this millionaire -- who has missed so many votes in his job as a US Senator while his eyes were on the top seat, really cares about the people of this country?
It's genuinely good that you're enthusiastic for your candidate and for the voting and political process, but at some point the blinders need to come off.
You might be able to do it, to get Obama made the Democratic candidate and maybe even President. But what will you have -- what will the people have -- when you do?
Oh, that's okay. Never mind. Carry on with your pep rally.
PS In case you want to tell yourselves something different, I am a Democrat, and have worked for minority causes all my life.
