Barack Obama: Conservative Republican

Obama is an isolationist in all but name, and a protectionist even in name.

Obama's links to the black churches give him a vast morally and socially conservative hinterland, in marked contrast to the other side's purely rhetorical relationship with such concerns over long decades.

Obama's black base has no time whatever, either for the mass immigration favoured by McCain, or for the consequent diminishment of English in American society and public life (long indulged by the Bushes).

Obama has already beaten Hillary Clinton.

And whereas the Republican Party is now as ludicrously misnamed as our own Conservative and Labour Parties, Obama really does believe in the res publica that his opponents actively want to destroy.

What's not to like?

  1. Only the Black Church was ever going to produce a candidate like this.
