This is Rush Limbaugh explaining why He is Amazed by How Few Understand Obama and the Movement He’s Mobilized. There is nothing well meaning or altruistic about the left. Their views are overwhelmingly parasitic and harmful. I can hardly recall a single instance when some policy of the left actually led to an improvement in our economic or social relations – think Stalin in the 1930s or Venezuela today. The left has invariably focused on genuine problems but almost no solution proposed by a government of the left has ever succeeded. If you know what the left is up to, you never wish them success. Which brings me to the start of what Rush had said:

You remember back on January 16th, 2009, a few days before Obama was to be inaugurated, I mentioned on this program the Wall Street Journal had asked me (along with a lot of other people) to write 400 words on my hopes for the administration, the first African-American president, Barack Hussein O. And I told you what I told them, ’cause I wrote back and I said, “I don’t need 400 words; all I need is four words: ‘I hope he fails.'”

Obama has sadly not failed. He has achieved many of the destructive aims that he had from the start. To wish that a far-left President fails is not to wish that America fails. It is to wish that the President does not achieve what he has set out to achieve. He goes on:

I thought after two years of an intense campaign that the people on our side, the people opposing Obama had learned what I had learned about Obama, had learned how truly radical he was.

And not just in the Alinsky mold, and not just in the Reverend Wright mold, but I mean literally radical, radical. The most radical leftist Democrat ever elected to the White House and maybe by a long shot. And I was under the impression that people on our side understood the danger, the real danger to the country.

The focus of the post is on Dinesh D’Souza’s new book, which is about how D’Souza had thought that Obama was merely a left-liberal until he ended up being railroaded into jail by Obama for a non-crime that no one had ever previously been jailed for. Limbaugh is astonished, and I am as well, that someone who has paid such close attention to Obama and what he has said and clearly stands for, didn’t get it.

Up until now, Dinesh D’Souza admits that he thought all this time that Obama was just a liberal, a Democrat, another in a long line of Democrats.

And that the liberalism of Obama was just an intellectual exercise against which we must debate. There was nothing inherently destructive about Obama. He was just a liberal, and it was an intellectual challenge for us on the right to go up against Obama and to see if we could win the argument in the arena of ideas. I was stunned. I have to tell you, I was stunned that it took being put in jail for Dinesh D’Souza to admit that he didn’t know what Obama and the modern day Democrat Party was really all about.

The thing is that I have the same problem as Rush. I was introduced to someone right at the start of the Obama era because he was also, I was told, against Obama. So I spoke to him in the way that I might when I am with someone who is on the same side of the fence as I am. And to my shock – and I have seen him many times since but will not talk politics with him such an idiot he is – he began to defend Obama since I was going way too far. I do always say that you have to have been on the left to understand really how evil these people are, unprincipled and with no aim other than the accumulation of personal power. Not the cannon fodder, of course, their foot-soldiers and deluded supporters, but a very high proportion of those who get to the top. So let me finally bring you to Rush’s conclusion:

This is the first time in our country’s history that such a leftist radical has been elected and has proceeded unopposed for seven years in erasing the origins of this country, under the guise of fixing it, under the guise of fixing the never-ending racism and bigotry and racism and homophobic, all these other things that in Obama’s world define this country. I think it’s one of the things that explains this budget deal. I think it explains a lot. The Republican Party is not pushing back, not wanting to disagree. If they do recognize what I recognize, it must have been pretty daunting to say so and stand up and fight against it, which maybe they don’t want to do, I guess.

It is across the West. I am part of the worst generation, that sensationally ignorant stupid New-Left hippy group-think idiocracy that has created the political world we now inhabit. If you think a centuries long Dark Age could not possibly lie before us, you really haven’t done your sums.
