There was an article yesterday under the heading, Was Mitt Romney Right about Everything? The point of it was that much of what we see today was foretold by Romney. But how little relevance that has! The real lesson is that his critics – and we are not talking about the American president who might occasionally by accident be right about something – but the American media who are the chorus of American politics. They call it fact checking but what it really amounts to is everything critical they can think of to say about the more conservative candidate. We now have our political systems across the west whose potential leaders are judged by people with about as much knowledge and depth as your Grade 7 teacher. These media critics would never have understood what Romney was saying, firstly because it would have required too much in-depth thought but secondly, and more importantly, because they would not have wanted to. Our civilisation is being led to its doom by the members of this chorus and there is not a thing in the world that can be done about it.
