"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Barack Obama's American Exceptionalism
"
?Recognizing the need to lay out a foreign policy agenda defined by more than opposition to the war in Iraq, Senator Obama set out to explain his broader vision for U.S. foreign policy in an April 2007 speech before the Chicago Council of Global Affairs. The speech contained a healthy helping of high?minded rhetoric about the need 'to stay on the offense, from Djibouti to Kandahar?, of leading a global effort 'to keep the world's deadliest weapons out of the world's most dangerous hands?, of the need to build 'stronger alliances?, and of leading ?a stronger push to defeat the terrorists' message of hate with an agenda for hope around the world?.? Here in Illinois, we?ve had to put up with Obama's obnoxiously unrelenting and self-serving PR machine for the past four years. Trust me when I say that he's a total phony."
