We first posted on this parallel in July, and it has come to pass: THE USA ELECTED ITS ATTLEE.
WIKI ON ATTLEE:
The government he led put in place the post-war consensus, based upon the assumption that full employment would be maintained by Keynesian policies, and that a greatly enlarged system of social services would be created -- aspirations that had been outlined in the wartime Beveridge Report. Within this context, his government undertook the nationalisation of major industries and public utilities as well as the creation of the National Health Service. After initial Conservative opposition, this settlement was by and large accepted by all parties[2] until Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party in the 1970s.WHAT WE POSTED IN JULY 2008:
Tired of war, the British people thought they could atke a holiday from history - again, just as they had after WW1.WELL... HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Just as we did after the collapse of the USSR.
And the people who want Obama to become POTUS and CiC are animated by the same misguided, irrational and anti-historical impulses.
And the desire to have the government do for them what they should do for themselves.
The British Welfare State - like ours and like welfare states everywhere - was a failure. It diminished Great Britain and led to increased suffering. It took 30 years and Thatcher to undo it's stranglehold and save Britain from collapse.
The USA and Great Britain don't need to replay the mistakes of the past and elect Attlees or Carters or Clintons.
We don't need to take another holiday from history - not with Iran and al Qaeda still threatening the free world.
We don't need to expand the welfare state. That would just drag down the entire economy, if not the world's economy.
We don't need another Clement Attlee.
We need Reagans and Thatchers.
The closest we'll come this election is McCain - who is more like Churchill than Attlee.CLEMENT ATTLEE OBAMA -
a dove who wants to reinvigorate the welfare state
The socialistic policies of Attlee and Obama always have the same results.
The policy of appeasement always has the same results, too.
Socialism and appeasement will make the USA weaker and poorer - and this sends a clear signal to our adversaries.
Because weakness invites adventurism, there will be another intifada in Israel (their third), another in Europe - AND OUR FIRST IN THE USA.
THE OBAMA INTIFADA.
And Putin and Iran will become more aggressive in Venezuela.
And Putin will become more aggressive in Georgia and Ukraine.
And Iran will become more aggressive in Iraq.
And al Qaeda will become more aggressive in Pakistan and Kashmir.
And al Qaeda will attack us here again, too.
Obama will weaken our defenses by weakening our ability to gather intel by weakening the NSA Intercept Programs.
Obama will weaken us by ceasing deployment of Missile defense in Eastern Europe and Alaska.
And Obama will weaken us by cutting the defense budget.
TO AVOID THE CATASTROPHE OBAMA'S POLICIES WILL PRODUCE, WE MUST FIGHT OBAMA'S DANGEROUS POLICIES EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
WE SHALL.
