It ain't what happens to you, it's how you deal with it that matters

If it was the intention of Gavrilo Princip to make the Austrian Empire destroy itself, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand brilliantly achieved this purpose.

“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

"Is President Obama doomed to failure?" asks the Today Programme on Facebook

President Obama has largely achieved what he said he would, yet some observers regard him as a failure and he is facing the prospect of significant electoral losses in the forthcoming mid-term elections. Former editor of the Economist, Bill Emmott and Bill Barnard of Democrats Abroad discuss the achievements and failures of the US president.

Obama embodies

1. the loss of confidence of the white race
2. the end of liberal hegemony
3. the decline of the USA

as surely as the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand came to embody the beginning of WW1.

The Obama Administration is really a signal that America is about to make way for another superpower, and the beginning of the end for liberalism as a respectable political orthodoxy. Shallower historians will see it in racial terms, unfortunately.

Obama got in because, in the whole of America, there was no clearly better candidate that the rotten US political system was capable of producing.

Obama, with his way with words and his ability to cry on cue, touched every liberal heart-string drinking in the last chance saloon.

Liberalism AKA feminism AKA the desecration of family values is an aberration that has delighted us for quite long enough.
