Hanson on Obama

Without using the specific terms, Victor Davis Hanson eloquently describes Messiahism, Victimhood, and the Oppressor Classes of today's Leftists:

"For the liberal grandee, there is a margin of safety to ensure that the California legislature takes up questions like prohibiting the sale of Confederate insignia or ensuring restrooms for the transgendered or shutting down irrigated acreage to please the delta smelt. In their view, Obama represents their utopian dreams where an anointed technocracy, exempt from the messy ramifications of its own ideology, directs from on high a socially just society — diverse, green, non-judgmental, neutral abroad, tribal at home — in which an equality of result is ensured, albeit with proper exemptions for the better educated and more sophisticated, whose perks are necessary to give them proper downtime for their exhausting work on our behalf."

This article by Hanson is a summation of the state of the nation, and things to come:

"Before we reach November of 2016, we will see unimaginable things under this administration, but one of them will not be a defection of his constituencies."

Perhaps this would have happened with any first black president who was also a Consequentialist Leftist Atheist. Obama was a perfect fit for that position. He is completely willing to scold corporate banks and insurance companies while providing them massive perqs on the taxpayer's wallet. He is even willing to watch the poverty rolls expand in order to attack the middle class and small business entrepreneurs. He will emerge rich and revered.
