The King of Wuxi, as some AKIC readers may know, had endorsed Mitt Romney for President in the current U.S. election race; now he is endorsing Barack Obama. Why? He says because he thinks Obama is young and not at all radical in any way. I think his thought patterns are poisoned by his Liberal Party of Canada (LPoC) amorality.
Working for LpoC, the King was always trying to win elections. LPoC, like the PRI in Mexico and the Chicoms, think it is its' right to rule their respective countries. So they abandon principles, cater to the masses as much as they can and use dirty tactics to win elections. They are also notorious band wagon jumpers and as long as an idea seems popular, there is nothing wrong with it.
Obama's vapid gaseous speeches, said the King, are just election time rhetoric. Everybody does it.
When I mentioned the Cuban flag with Che's image on it being seen in an Obama campaign office, the King saw nothing wrong with it. "Come on", he said, "Che merely represents the revolutionary urge of the young. He was no Hitler."
When I mentioned Obama's proposal to give every student in the country a 4000 dollar tuition credit toward college the King thought it was a good idea. Maybe, the King thought it was a good way to win an election. But, he wasn't interested in hearing me tell him the economic fatuousness of such a proposal.
Principles must only be for those who don't occupy the political middle ground. But if you don't occupy the middle ground you are an ideologue. That is what I get out of the King's endorsement of Obama.
