I honestly never thought we'd see such a thing in our country - not yet anyway - but I sense what's occurring in this election is a recklessness and abandonment of rationality that has preceded the voluntary surrender of liberty and security in other places. I can't help but observe that even some conservatives are caught in the moment as their attempts at explaining their support for Barack Obama are unpersuasive and even illogical. And the pull appears to be rather strong. Ken Adelman, Doug Kmiec, and others, reach for the usual platitudes in explaining themselves but are utterly incoherent. Even non-conservatives with significant public policy and real world experiences, such as Colin Powell and Charles Fried, find Obama alluring but can't explain themselves in an intelligent way. [Emphases added.]Well, here's the soundtrack of what's going on:
They're drinking the Kool Aid.
Levin went on to say this:
There is a cult-like atmosphere around Barack Obama, which his campaign has carefully and successfully fabricated, which concerns me. The messiah complex. Fainting audience members at rallies. Special Obama flags and an Obama presidential seal. A graphic with the portrayal of the globe and Obama's name on it, which adorns everything from Obama's plane to his street literature. Young school children singing songs praising Obama. Teenagers wearing camouflage outfits and marching in military order chanting Obama's name and the professions he is going to open to them. An Obama world tour, culminating in a speech in Berlin where Obama proclaims we are all citizens of the world. I dare say, this is ominous stuff.Somebody should use this tape as the soundtrack for a montage of the Obamessiah's agitprop videos.

I reject the notion that these faux
conservatives are somehow enamored of Obama. Its their own careers they're worried about. They don't want to be on the receiving end of the black out that's going to be enacted if there is an Obama Presidency. Rush Limbaugh said good riddance and I second that. These so called Conservatives have tried to pull the Republican party so far to the center they might as well be Democrats. Conservatives want a choice, if they vote for a Republican they don't want a Democrat clone. That they were pretending to be conservatives was so apparent it shouldn't have even come as a surprise. It sure didn't surprise me.
