A British View Of Obama’s Victory: from London Daily Mail

This is from an editorial in The Daily Mail (UK) written about Obama on 1/6/2009

Obama's Victory

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political f ashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular exp ression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to &nbs p; mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Congratulations America!

in Nashville

I'm in Nashville for the next few days, attending a conference. The weather is bright and full of sunshine, unlike San Antonio. Going to try to do a bit of siteseeing before I leave. Couldn't find my camera before I left, darn it. I won't have any pictures to post. But I did find this link, considering yesterday was Elvis' birthday and there's quite a bit going on in Tennessee.

Fred Thompson on the Economy

Consortium concert went well.

The Choral Consortium went well.  I'm tired.  We had a good turn out.  Way to go musicians and Tawni and James, the conductors.  My first concert in a while.  There's nothing like the Messiah to get you in the spirit for Advent.

Thanksgiving's Over

Thanksgiving is over. Enjoyed seeing my family in Abilene. I can't believe tomorrow is December already. So much to do over the holidays. I'm singing in a Christmas concert next Sunday at St. David's, 4pm. Only 3 weeks left in school. Will be sending out cards and buying gifts for the kids soon, and oh I'll have to string lights up on the house. THis is always a whirlwind time of year. I want to keep as much serenity as I can.
