The title of my blog is "the Road to Serfdom" http://road2serfdom.blogspot.com/ and I have been begun to be heavily influenced by the work.

No wonder Obama is not proud of America, he thinks anyone else in the world could do a better job of setting our thermostats and deciding what we can eat than we do.

I think he is showing he more like a regular candidate every day now. And not some "god-like" figure.

Thanks for posting a link to my 10-part series on political messiahs through history at http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/page.aspx?id=978
I noted the following comment on Tibet and the Chinese gov't's view: “The Communist Party is like the parent to the Tibetan people, and it is always considerate about what the children need. The Central Party Committee is the real Buddha for Tibetans.” See Michael Bird's blog at http://euangelizomai.blogspot.com/

We may not have to wait until "innauguration day" for rude awakenings; the last two weeks have been telling.

Hope you enjoyed your Easter break...

At least after today we won't need to watch those uninformed, inaccurate Hillobama ads!

As the Good Book says, "Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium." This is not to say that I believe that Obama is a wolf in sheeps' clothing. Indeed, I rather think he is something else. The temptation is strong among certain segments of the electorate to support him, not unlike the support that drew Catholics to vote for Kennedy in 1960. But we Republicans have a duty to resist Obamamania firmly, and not to succumb to the obsequiousness that even some conservatives have shown towards the Illinois Senator. It is our task to confront him on the issues at all times, respectfully, of course, but nonetheless firmly and vigorously. For Obama's solutions, such as they are, to our country's challenges, are nothing more than the old-time religion of progressivism warmed over. Once his policy preferences are fully exposed, the American people will see them for what they are, and just how elusive his quest for unity really is. As long as Obama is a votary of the old faith, he can never transcend partisan differences, since the precepts of the post-modern liberal orthodoxy that he professes have done much to contribute to the ideological divide that afflicts contemporary politics.
