Does this confirm what Chris, of The Mason Conservative wrote about Obama last month? (Barack Obama, The Post-American):

…The change Obama represents is Post-American. Instead of embracing our history, Obama is hostile too it. For middle America, those who love their god, feel they have a right to bear arms to protect their families, and worry of the danger that comes with an unregulated sea of migration from the south. In Obama’s world, these are bitter people and their religion and political beliefs are a manifestation of this bitterness. Yet for much of the country, this is the definition of their American - the freedom to protect themselves, their borders, and find true happiness in their religion. Obama believes that happiness is derived from occupation. When someone disagrees with him, he sees it as bitterness towards a failed life. Even those who have lost jobs don’t see their lives as failures. They find happiness in family, property, and church. For much of the country, that is America.

But not for Senator Obama.

Here is a book review and interview with Fareed Zakaria in the Washington Post.

    Strong borders and happiness in religion are core American values. They are what distinguishes us from the Islamofascist states that hate us for our freedoms.

We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why?
