Does the Liberal ideology of the progressives work?
Economics:
Doesn't appear like it, take Detroit after many years of liberal rule, Detroit dies, as do all large cities with liberal governance. If they are not dead they are in the top in taxes and loosing liquidity quickly. There is no evidence that a liberal government can run ANYTHING. They have no interest or knack at creating wealth, only distributing it. They take more and more from productive citizens and give more and more to non-productive citizens. Truth is, some people need to work very hard to survive, working very hard use to be a positive attribute. Today it isn't even on the radar screen for a large percentage of our population.
Crime:
Our citizens are not safe. The liberal society that puts the rights of habitual felons before the safety of the lawful citizen is broken. Most horrendous crimes, kid napping and rape of children and women are committed by criminals who have been released from prison, often on parole or early release programs. Families of People killed by drunken drivers find he has 3-5 DUI arrests.
Racism:
We see statements that 80% of the people in prison are minorities. The liberals use that as an example of how our society is unfair to minorities. BUT THE FACTS ARE that minorities commit more than 80% of the crimes. The liberal calls of racism hamper an honest discussion of the real issues. Little is spoken of the cesspool of degradation in our inner cities anymore. The liberal agenda has appropriated trillions of dollars to fix these problems but instead have used it to build a political apparatus, not improve the status of the downtrodden. The fact is, we have paid reparation for 60 years and the politicians have diverted it to self serving programs such as ACORN and "Project Housing" that centralized their political base. The black politicians and other liberals never wanted desegregation because in an integrated district where the minorities were 20% they probably wouldn't be elected.
Social Issues:
I believe 75% of minority children grow up fatherless. This is largely due to the social programs that reward single mothers. So while it makes sense not to marry for economic reasons, it also relieves the man from any legal burden for his family. After years of supporting Gay Rights, atheism, Right to Abortions, and other programs that deteriorate the family structure the Liberals have created a totally dysfunctional society. They have some derided fantasy that they can teach family planning to those they haven't taught to read or write. REMEMBER 90% of the teaching in public schools is controlled by liberals. Here, again, more effort is given to organizing political power through Unions and other devices and providing for the well-being of the teachers than providing a viable education. The more sought after education such as in private Catholic schools is nurtured by a more conservative ideology.

Chicago Style
Hey Chicago style for Hot dogs, Pizza and Architecture is a admirable thing, for politics it is about corruption, graft, payola. The ultimate model for machine politics. Chicago has become a refuge for the likes of Bill Ayers, Jesse Jackson, Reverend Wright and others. As long as you ay homage to the machine you can flourish in Chicago.
Obama's team reeks of Chicago thuggery, Firing Inspector generals, attacking citizens like Joe the Plumber, kamikaze attacks such as on Sarah Palin, threatening Bank CEO's in order to coerce them into deals, corrupting the Bankruptcy proceedings to accommodate their union supporters, blatantly designing laws to favor the unions with tax exemptions and other Chicago style scenarios. Well, after all his staff ARE Chicago thugs. He is a Chicago thug.

Iran and Obama
So now we learn that he has this letter to Ayatollah that is a supreme secret. So Obama has secret love letters to Supreme Leader, which he thinks will bear fruit. Remember everything Obama ever accomplished was comparable to winning a debate. He believes the world is one of WORDS, words win elections, words win court cases, words impress students.
This is not a man of action and re-action. So he offers words to the supreme Leader, he believes it is a contest of words, and he believes he is the MASTER silver tongue. That is his "gift".
When confronted with the failure of reason and arguments Obama has yet to show any ability to DECIDE. He will soon understand that reason and logic are not the ultimate tools and that fanaticism and ideology will trump rational debate every time.
That may be why a Bush is ultimately a better leader than Obama, you got to BELIEVE baby. It may be more about heart and conviction than rational and logical thought. It may be more about stubborn consistency than pleasing everyone.

Obama In Cairo June 2009
OK it was a decent speech, OK maybe in an Ideal world it could spell a difference.
BUT in the REAL WORLD the warm fuzzy feelings evaporate exceedingly quickly. Can the hatreds be mediated? Perhaps.
It isn't likely or realistic to believe all of the corrupted self interested power wielders are going to be persuaded by a sweet talking politician, they throw sweet talking politicians in jail, they hang them, they torture them.
Maybe some people on the street can be converted, Obama certainly has a FOLLOWING in the USA that defies any explanation. It isn't based on competence or accomplishments but is purely charismatic persuasion. I don't know the results of this type of phenomenon, we can understand Hitler by historical reference but not by any rational analysis. Only that he capitalized on general misery of the German people.
My judgement is that our friends will experience a curious reaction, some of which will be fear. It has been good to be a friend of the USA, a strong and determined ally that always leaned toward the interests of it's friends. Maybe a new fairness isn't what our friends want.
Our enemies may see an opportunity to exploit our new fairness as a weakness and find ways to benefit.
CYNICISM or reality? The world hasn't been a good place for the weak and undefended. Many of them have relied on alliances with a tough and determined USA to prosper, I hope that future continues, but I fear for them in this new world of Obama where the meek inherit the earth.
The whole Islamic experience is an creation of a pirate brotherhood. All of the components are there, it differs little from a Hells Angels or other gang covenant. The position of woman guarantees at least some power and gain for every male member, the lack of status of all non members creates a legitimized victim class for the membership to terrorize. It establishes power and a means of gaining wealth and a structure for establishing centralized power by requiring MEMBERSHIP DUES be paid up the line. This line of succession seems maintainable by their customs where one cleric is succeeded by his Son.
