Last night we witnessed a national referendum on Neoconservatism and the painful blunders of President Bush and his lackeys in Congress. “Change We Need” was the mantra, but now Obama’s got to govern. He’s now judged by what he does, not how many college girls he can make wilt with dreams of “racial reconciliation” in the back of Mos Def’s limousine.

Somehow, the media managed to get its candidate elected. Funny how that works. If that political outcome is possible, then any political outcome is possible. And this is precisely where so-called “popular government” has no answers for the perpetual dilemma of “what if your nation is largely populated by credulous buffoons and tax grifters?” Where’s the checks and balances on imbecility in the voting population?  Looks like the investments in NLP paid off, for the Obama campaign was nothing if not Madison Avenue R&D. I tend not to think our elections are fake in the sense that they don’t count the votes. That would be like trying to hide an elephant in a cereal box. I can’t even really say that they don’t matter, as I see the Negro Elect’s domestic policy as being a witch’s brew of cultural Marxism and racial power politics the likes of which McSame’s neocon handlers couldn’t even imagine had they been instructed by Bill Kristol himself. I suppose that, in the end, they matter some, these elections -if only a tap of the brakes on the superhighway to Sao Paulo. Bit tighter here, a bit looser there. But all in all, they are mostly indistinguishable. What did Leibniz say about the identity of indiscernables?  What concerns me most is not that elections are fake, but that they are controlled by powers we little understand, and those that control them are able to project the illusion of democracy, as if democratic outcomes carry with them any more moral legitimacy. Does it matter if evil wears one mask or 100 million?

Let us agree that our salvation is not in politics. Politics is the art of pragmatism in relation to power constructs. We focus on politics because we ourselves have been highly politicized by the factionalism of the plutocratic fight for control over the engines of money. “Culture,” that word that liberal Mario Cuomo called a “Nazi” word, it appears, is registered by the plutocrats only to the extent that it is malleable toward their ends. Culture itself must be destroyed or rendered superficial in order for them to achieve their economic ends. In this sense, the Neoconservatives and the Marxists are identical. They both believe in the engineering of culture to achieve largely economic ends. That Neoconservatives make motions with their mouths about “family values” only deepens the sense of betrayal felt by those who actually think such issues matter. Neoconservatives don’t. The offspring of the Fusionist project begun by Frank Meyer and Bill Buckley has given us President Elect Obama, out of the national referendum on pretend conservatism and the slow-motion disaster of the Bush Decade.

So, in this recent election, we have the artificial, engineered choice between materialism and materialism. The mockery of a campaign McSame ran seemed finely tuned to deliver the Presidency to Obama. Even down to his selection of the Hockey Mom from Wasilla. A fine woman, but with a resume as thin as gas station coffee. Which shouldn’t be a problem in the sense that we ought not to desire to populate Washington with lifer Bureau Zombies. Professional politicians are a bane, not the ne plus ultra of civilization.  But only Sarah Palin could make Joe “The Gaffester” Biden appear statesman-like by comparison. I like Sarah, a Buchanan supporter, we come to find. She’s plain spoken and has a homespun eloquence. She’s genuine, I think. And in the final analysis, she’ll be a fine asset to the Neocons in 8 years, when they’re done making of her a Manchurian Candidate.

A fine choice indeed we had this election. But when it comes down to race, I’m a one issue voter. Better the devil who looks like me than the devil who doesn’t. Why? Because of the demoralizing psychological impact of simply HAVING a black president. The SOUL simply cries out “I will not be governed by that man.” As Christians, we are commanded to submit to the ruling authorities. We are NOT commanded to like it, and we are not commanded to sit idly on our hands and do nothing to ensure that Obamanation is one and done.

And this is why Kinism, or whatever it is we call what we believe -we sorrowful, lonely few- is so imminently relevant in the face of the bankruptcy of Neoconservatism, and the racial embarrassment of Paleoconservatism. Kinism ALONE, is able to address the issues that afflict our nation in a way that is thorough, complete, and lacking in the compromise that saps the vigor of of “colorblind” conservatism. Segregation now, and segregation forever was the cry of the Dixiecrat. With a Black Supremacist and his odious, uppity wife occupying the House that John Adams once occupied, I believe that NOW is the time for Kinism. Now is the hour of its rebirth as a movement to challenge the incumbent idiocies of the loyal opposition and its paymasters on the Left.

The election results have me traveling backward in time, to a period during which it was possible to be a self-conscious white in this country, and to defend that heritage as though it actually meant something to be white. Something good. Something worth defending against the arrows of “entitlement” and perpetual guilt. But where do we now go in this calamity? We turn away from the machinery of despair working in Washington, and toward one another, and work for a better day.
