Welcome To Obamaland
If the election of Barack Obama fills you
with dread rather than elation, you're not alone; in fact,
pull up a chair next to James Delingpole who has seen this
all before and knows exactly where America is heading: into
a morass of sprawling government that will slowly start
suffocating our economy, our liberties, and our culture.
You might as well call it socialism, he says, because that's
what it is. In Britain it came in under the smiling face
of Tony Blair and has left the British bulldog castrated,
whimpering, and sick; in America it's coming under the vibrant,
youthful guise of Barack Obama. But the result will be the
same: the brave, independent American eagle will become
the American turkey, oven-basted by the nanny state of Barack
Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. James
Delingpole, whose coruscating wit and laugh-out-loud asides
have earned his fame as a British political commentator,
is here to tell us how bad things could really get. From
the socialized medicine that will make us want to avoid
going to the doctor even when our hand is on fire (as his
literally once was); to eco-fascism that will have us spending
millions, if not billions, if not entirely ruining our already
shattered economy, to protect un-endangered, man-eating
polar bears; to immigration non-reform that will leave us
wondering what country we're living in anyway; to a further
dumbing down of an already execrable school system, with
more PC inanities, such as banning competitive games because
it might disturb children's self-esteem; to so many symptoms
of decline and fall that we might as well all move to Albania
to enjoy the high life. Hilarious, witty, impassioned, andperceptive,
Welcome to Obamaland will have you laughing through your
tears and taking courage from the eternal truth of conservative
convictions.
