(That line is a humorous quote by two fellows named Sellars & Yeatman in the 1930s about British royalty. Not so funny here, we will get to our “Republican but Repulsive” comments later on in the campaign.)

              When he was only seen as a naïve senator spouting empty platitudes of hope to America’s next generation of narcissists (was it that long ago?) we had already determined that even as much as we dislike Lady Disdain, she would be a better decision-maker than Obama if the White House actually came her way. In foreign affairs, like her husband, she would be more apt to do the right thing, then, spend the rest of her administration lying to her base that she didn’t really do it.  
              But fears about Obama are no longer that he is an innocent naïf. Far from it. It was believed that he was at least honest and that this alone represented the hope for “change” in Washington. But his dissembling of not only facts, but deeply held ideas about matters dear to Americans, has cast a shadow over that hope.     
              None of us can know Obama’s heart, or the truthfulness and seriousness of his protests of innocence about relationships with Rev Jeremiah Wright or Syrian-born indicted businessman, Tony Rezko. His explanations have made it more difficult, not more easy, to square their words and actions with his words of unity and hope.
             But as to his fitness to be president, the truth that lies in his heart no longer matters. It is the connections and connections alone that matter in a world where the United States Constitution and the American experience are under attack. The choice is easy.             
             The lynch pin is not the racial hatred spewed forth by the likes of Rev Wright and Louis Farrakan, with a view to racial separatism (Liberation theology). Nor is it a relationship between Rezko and people in the mid-east (Syria) who are actively trying to kill American soldiers in Iraq. These may only be coincidental. Obama may be telling it to us straight. 
              But NO PERSON who is an American first can afford to vote for anyone who has spent part of his formative youth (what, two, three, how many?) in a Wahhabi madrassa. Period. 
             The Wahhabis are one of the most pernicious religious sects in the history of Islam, reminiscent of the Kali-worshipping Thugees from India in the 19^th Century. They are Al Qaeda’s Sinn Fein, but with pockets that run much deeper than all of Boston.

              The Wright/Farrakan & Rezko/Syria connection is real, no matter what the substance, and can only be analyzed in light of those very real events in Indonesia many years ago.
            America simply cannot take the chance.
