Of course not--it was just oh-so-trendy to vote for him. They probably felt like they were texting on an iPhone, shopping at Hollister, drinking a Starbucks coffee, and wearing a "Save Darfur" shirt all at the same time when they cast their vote for hope. OMG!! What a high." you captured my feelings EXACTLY! =D "Do you think Obama won so strongly because people agreed with his philosophy? Of course not–it was just oh-so-trendy to vote for him.

Palin and Beck certainly make the conservative movement look silly, but that's not my biggest problem with them. I didn't read Palin's book, but I heard from a reliable source that, in it, she doesn't even mention immigration. Doesn't even mention it (unless my source is mistaken). It's like the conservative movement is producing all these Becks and Hannitys now that Obama's elected, but if all they're going to talk about is spending, where the hell were they when Bush was president? Nonetheless, I think Palin and Beck have their place. It's about time conservatives stopped merely talking about America's problems at cocktail parties or expensive tailgates. Of course, whether or not the Beck/Palin supporters are really serious remains to be seen. I have a hunch they're not. Still, you know my feelings on Jonah Goldberg. And I'm not a fan of Robert P. George or Buckley. And even if I were, these are not figures that can really inspire the masses. Do you think Obama won so strongly because people agreed with his philosophy? Of course not--it was just oh-so-trendy to vote for him. They probably felt like they were texting on an iPhone, shopping at Hollister, drinking a Starbucks coffee, and wearing a "Save Darfur" shirt all at the same time when they cast their vote for hope. OMG!! What a high. As I've said before, let's revive the Buchanan Brigade! (Seriously, go to Youtube and search for "Patrick Buchanan Culture War Speech." If you're not fired up by that speech, then you're not conservative.) I agree to a certain extent.
