Beck’s Point
An excellent piece in today’s issue of the American Thinker makes Glenn Beck’s point that, perhaps, Obama’s election will be better for America in the long run:
Would the country be as aware of the following if not for an extremist government in power in Washington? Acorn and the “community organizer” groups have been revealed to be nothing more than corrupt partisan hacks exploiting the poor and the taxpayers. The unions and their leaders exposed as power hungry ideologues with no interest in the long term well-being of their members. The mainstream media’s willingness to lose all credibility with the vast majority of the public with its not so subtle cheerleading for their preferred politician has become obvious to all. The Democratic Party, at one time the self-declared defender of the little guy, has openly declared war on small business and capitalism. The Democratic members of Congress have been revealed to be indifferent to the voters, incapable of reading bills and fully in the pockets of liberal special interests groups.
This issue was debated in an earlier post. Read the rest of the AE piece here.

Well, I think it’s more a “silver lining” argument. We still have to survive 3+ more years of this guy, and Lord knows how much irreversible statism he’ll leave in his wake.
I for one don’t blame the American people for electing him. The GOP put up the worst ticket since…well, since Kerry/Edwards.
The GOP better do a helluva lot better next time, or it’s 7+ years to go.
Sorry, but no. I will take the neo Teddy Roosevelt over the neo Woodrow Wilson radical every time. The right wing would have been just as riled up over McCain as Obama. McCain would have done less damage (and would have been by far better on foriegn policy, the Supreme Court, spending, and life issues).
But American Thinker (via The Other McCain) had this gem of an article. Now just ponder, if this is true, how much leverage Ayers has over Obama. Are you worried? You should be.
“…Glenn Beck’s point that, perhaps, Obama’s election will be better for America in the long run…”
Oh yea? And how LONG is this ‘run’ Beck refers to??
That’s what frightens me.
