— Ace I forget who the heck I got this from. You've read it already.
But I've had this tab open for days now. At some point, I either have to close it or post it.
So let us return, briefly, back to the start of the Cult of Obama.
As Commander Spoc said, "Remember."
Is Obama an enlightened being? / Spiritual wise ones say: This sure ain't no ordinary politician. You buying it?By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Published 4:00 a.m., Friday, June 6, 2008
...
Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.
...
Dismiss it all you like, but I've heard from far too many enormously smart, wise, spiritually attuned people who've been intuitively blown away by Obama's presence - not speeches, not policies, but sheer presence - to say it's just a clever marketing ploy, a slick gambit carefully orchestrated by hotshot campaign organizers...
Here's where it gets gooey. Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.
The unusual thing is, true Lightworkers almost never appear on such a brutal, spiritually demeaning stage as national politics. This is why Obama is so rare....
There's a vast amount of positive energy swirling about that's been held back by the armies of BushCo darkness, and this energy has now found a conduit, a lightning rod, is now effortlessly self-organizing around Obama's candidacy. People and emotions and ideas of high and positive vibration are automatically drawn to him. It's exactly like how Bush was a magnet for the low vibrational energies of fear and war and oppression and aggression, but, you know, completely reversed. And different. And far, far better.
Four dead in Benghazi, blood on the Administration's hands, and nothing but lies -- and the arrest of a filmmaker-- since.
Where's your Lightworker now?
By the way: How perfect is it that that drunk-dial of a column was posted at 4:00am?
Oh: Let me clear this one too: How the media loved Obama to death. It was in the sidebar, too.

I typically find those that say they are spiritual are full of it. They say that because they know they should like God, and maybe actually believe he exists, but they certainly don't want a God that may interfere with their life. And in no way are they spiritual at all.

[Obama is] going to win on sheer gut instinct. Not his – ours. He’s going to win because no matter what little bump Romney enjoys in a handful of polls, no matter the sad truism that Obama just won’t bare his intellectual fangs and go full throttle at the GOP’s homophobia, racism, misogyny and appallingly awful economic agenda, he has been able to build a beautifully wrought foundation of rock-solid energy lo these past four years.
ItÂ’s the reassuring feeling that heÂ’s got it, that when it comes to pulling the trigger on Osama, finally supporting gay marriage, or responding appropriately to nearly any global crisis you can name, ObamaÂ’s intellectual acumen hooks right into the still-incredible sense that the man actually has a functioning soul, and you just know: the lights are on. HeÂ’s got it under control. ThereÂ’s tremendous sense of competence where we need it most.

Back in 2008, after that butt-dialed column went up, I engaged in some "complete waste of time" on-line arguments with dummies who actually believed that crap. Or AxelTurfers who were being paid to spew on cue.
How could anyone with more than one functioning brain cell think for one minute that a Chicago Machine Political Hack could be anything other than a greedy, grasping, grifter of a soulless political thug?
Vote Early Vote Often isn't a joke in places like Chicago, it's how those scum live their entire lives. They lie, cheat, steal, and make promises they know perfectly well they have no intention of delivering.

I have a proposal for Obama: Don't campaign at all in swing states. I've noticed when people see Obama and his surrogates, they aren't favorably inclined to him.
In fact, I propose that Obama just stop appearing in public. He might win this election if he does it.

It had been the real thing, not a commonplace fling with your generic Democrat, but the love of a lifetime, the genuine article, the sum of all dreams: He was not just a Democrat, he was also a liberal. He was not just a liberal, he also biracial, also multinational; also hip, cool, and clever. He was themselves as they wanted to be.
That sums it all up. Obama's acolytes are people of very little actual accomplishment. Or bears of very little brain. Whichever.

He is that particular sort of metrosexual yuppie liberal who thinks that gobbling designer drugs and sleeping with everything that moves are plain proofs of a more "highly evolved" personal status. He will go in one column from talking about how ZOMG global warming from evil Republicans is murdering Gaia to, in the next column, talking about how cool his new turbo Audi is. He wants to be big on "tolerance", both of gays and also of the Muslims who consider murdering gays to be an article of faith, without being able to see that these forms of tolerance are entirely incompatible with one another.
It's really stuff that I figure to be pulling up out of the Web archives 20 years from now to show the younguns how completely bughouse nuts certain segments of blue-state America had become during this period of history.
A period of history prior, of course, to the historic final implosion of Commiefornia in 2019, about which the kids will have learned in class.

Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment.
