It’s 1:33 a.m. and I now have the results for the presidential election. I credit Ezra Levant with supplying me not only with the news, but some commentary on what happens next:
But enough about the past: what now?
I saw an unintentionally hilarious pundit on CNN who said that, in foreign affairs, the rest of the world will now lose a key criticism of America — that it’s racist — and thus will deal with America more favourably. I think this is what psychologists call projection.
Liberal political pundits regard America as racist, but the rest of the world obviously does not, for every shade of race streams towards America as fast as they can, trying to immigrate both legally and illegally. America is one of the most tolerant countries in the world. Foreign dictators may hate America, but grassroots foreigners want to move to America.
But that’s not the hilarious part. The hilarious part was that the pundit thinks that those who challenge America — and the rest of the West — today will substitute “good feelings” for their national interest, when it comes to foreign relations.
Perhaps Vladimir Putin, the ex-KGB boss, will find that, like the Grinch, his heart grew two sizes when Obama was elected. He’ll no longer have ambitions for Georgia and the rest of the former Soviet Union.
Perhaps Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will discover that he’s actually part Jewish, on his mother’s side, and abandon his nuclear-fueled hatred for Israel.
Maybe Hugo Chavez will recognize President Obama as a sort of fellow aboriginal, and turn from a strategic enemy to ally.
This is how the world works according to the MSM — the same folks who tutted at Sarah Palin’s naivete.
So even though Ezra Levant helped me prove that the MSM are not necessary when it comes to disseminating news, we’d be hard pressed to find a replacement for such an easy source of laughs if they were gone.
