Conservative Politics Today

These past few months the world of politics has 

been a sight to behold. The world saw first hand 

how a star is born. Barack Obama had a marketing 

team like none had ever seen before. He was 

untouchable. He was convinced the media praises 

of self were true. He was who we were waiting for.

We watched, astounded, as he came in from nowhere 

and dethroned the Clintons. There was a new boss 

in town and he had no room for the likes of them. 

The Clintons were shot down, dismissed, and 

eventually ignored. 

We watched as he gave his acceptance speech in a

 huge football stadium, staged with Greek columns,

 full of pomp and circumstance,and filled to the

 highest rafter. Gleefully we were reminded of the

 huge historical turnout. This guy was unstoppable.

 Unbeatable. This election was a done deal.

 Barack Obama, in all his youth, inexperience, and 

arrogance was to be the next President of the
United States, and maybe even King of the world.

No one ever saw it coming. As an aged warrior named 

John McCain approached him, Obama raised his chin to

the sky and scoffed. Who is this old man that believes 

he shall dent my amour? The country laughed and mocked

the old warrior. Little did Obama, or the country 

know, the old warrior had found Obama’s weakness and 

the laughter was about to be replaced with wails of

disbelief and horror.

The events transpiring are what classic literature 

and great movies are all about. As I laid in bed last 

night watching “The Patriot” (who couldn’t after 

hearing McCain’s acceptance speech) I had to chuckle

 because Benjamin Martin (aka John McCain) had found 

the weakness of Lord Cornwallis (aks Barack Obama).

                         MARTIN

          I’ve just been inside the mind of a

          genius.  Lord Cornwallis knows more

          about war than I could in a dozen

          lifetimes.

                       BILLINGS

          Cheerful news to greet the morn.

                       MARTIN

          His victories at Charleston and

         Camden were perfect, strategically,

          tactically, logistically.  But he

          has a weakness.

They all turn to Martin.

                          MARTIN

          Lord Cornwallis is brilliant.  His

          weakness is that he knows it.

                          GABRIEL

          Father?

                          MARTIN

          Pride is his weakness.

 The men consider that.

                          DELANCEY

          Personally, I’d would prefer

          stupidity.

                          MARTIN

                   Pride will do. 

Barack Obama is no Lord Cornwallis. He is not brilliant, he has never been on a battle ground, and he certainly has much to learn. However, like Cornwallis, Pride is Obama’s weakness and the humble aged warrior, whose own pride was once his downfall, knew it and knew how to use it as an effective tool of warfare. The old man has stripped Obama bare. The only remaining question are does the aged warrior and his fellow fighters have the stamina to see this fight through, and if so will the aged warrior finish off his opponent or allow him to live to see another election.
