With each poll, we can hear the chink-chink-chink as the rollercoaster car is slowly pulled up the hill. Obama up by 13 in LA Times. Chink! Obama up by 5 in Rasmussen. Chink! Race tied in Indiana. Chink! You get that sick feeling in your stomach, even as the rollercoaster pauses at the top, teetering over the abyss. I want to beleive the United States is not so far gone as to elect a inexperienced demagogue disguised as a "uniter." But something is telling me we are due for a cathartic period of correction, a social cataclysm caused by the rejection/ignorance of our core values. The propaganda wars have been fought covertly in the public schools and the universities, and feel-good foolishness pervades our culture. I was having a discussion with some Obama supporters in my office, and mentioned the Infant Born Alive Protection Act. Fine with them! With finite resources, we can't care about kids whose parents don't want them! We are on the brink of true progressivist fascism- eugenics, confiscation of wealth, radicalization of the culture. Even should he win, McCain seems unlikely to brake the car as it rushes down the tracks.
