"To liberals a black president equals goodness and virtue. It's the ultimate in racial reductionism. Barack Obama has become his race. That's identity politics.
But then, the same people believe from the bottom of their capacious hearts that FDR saved the country from the Great Depression; that World War Two was the last Just War in history; that the Soviet Union was an idealistic experiment that almost worked; that Hitler was a conservative like Reagan; that Che was a humanitarian; that Eurosocialism is the perfected model for the United States; that the United Nations bears all of humanity's hopes for peace forever; that Global Warming is bound to fry our sinful carbon-puffing souls very soon; that free markets are the cause of war and ignorance; that dark-skinned folk are more virtuous than pale-faced ones; that Al Qaida truck-bombers are just poor and misunderstood; that toddlers have an intuitive grasp of higher morality; that forty million abortions do not pose a moral problem; that Saddam Hussein wasn't such a bad guy; that religious faith is evil; that intelligent people are liberal, and vice versa; that Bill Clinton only suffered from a few ethical lapses; that the media can ever be believed; that JFK was a great president; that Jesus was a community organizer; that John Edwards made a believable candidate; .... oh, yes, and that Barack Obama is Our Savior from Racial Hatred and Despair."
--James Lewis, at the American Thinker.
That sums it all up pretty nicely, wouldn't you say?
