Bill's Notes

Here's some fun reading. This sums up my thoughts right now. Obama showed every possible sign of being a left-wing socialist demagogue building a frightening cult of personality — the only question was whether he was a European-style socialist or a Latin American socialist. The jury's still out on that question. Here are some choice quotes:

The president has made America look like a banana republic.

But you don't understand," the Colombian said. "We've seen this before."

"He's right, my good friend," the Cuban said. "We Latin Americans know the pattern. Believe me we do."

The American tried to shrug off the Latin Americans' warning. To his consternation, he found that he couldn't. Peron, Fidel, now Chavez, they insisted. The emergence of misrule, corruption and economic stagnation in Latin American nations follows a particular sequence or progression. Now the sequence was unfolding in the United States.

And guess what? There's nowhere left to run.
