Being a truly advanced white person means being able to speak with authority about pretty much any field of conversation- especially politics. In order for white people to streamline the process of knowing everything, all human beings can be neatly filed into one of two categories: People I Agree With, and People Who are Just Like Adolf Hitler.

When in the course of political events it becomes advantageous for a presidential candidate to dissolve a campaign promise, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that the candidate at least refrain from wrapping himself in the Declaration of Independence.

…the next president will appoint almost 3,000 political executives. Not only will these appointees dilute transparency between the top and bottom of government, but each must go through a brutish approval process that will vitiate the chain of command. The 60 pages of clearance forms have never been more complex or difficult to complete — one set has to be filled out using a typewriter. Hillary Clinton might have promised to be ready on Day One, but she would have been lucky if her appointees were in place by March of Year Two.

A teacher has told how she watched in horror as a 75ft branch crushed a schoolboy to death as he sheltered from the rain.

Daniel Mullinger, 11, was hit on the head as the enormous branch broke away from a tree at the 17th Century Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust-owned property near Cromer, Norfolk. Three of his friends were seriously injured.

As a child I was always told not to stand under a tree during a rainstorm. Apparently they do things differently in Britain.

Empathy is obtained by “walking a mile” in the shoes of the socially disadvantaged; for busy white people that have failed to come by this experience naturally, personal anecdotes from one’s past can be tailored to give the impression that a white person possesses this coveted empathy.

The best examples of these empathy-laden personal anecdotes can be observed during a white person’s recollection of their years as an undergraduate student.

I recall, as an undergraduate, describing to a number of whiners-about-college-life a concoction that certain Vietnamese tribesmen use that is composed predominantly of alcohol and pig’s blood. Didn’t hear too much out of them after that.

In its wisdom, the American nation has devised a presidential election system that actively selects for egotistical megalomaniacs: You simply cannot enter the White House if you aren’t one.

Unfortunately, George W Bush is the counter-example who refutes that position; only a clueless paranoid would believe that Bush is a megalomaniac. (Granted, we’ve got a lot of clueless paranoids in this country, nevertheless the observation stands.) Actually, that’s one of his deepest character flaws — as President. If he weren’t such a soft-hearted guy, the country would be in much better shape.

There is more similarity on feelings of personal racial prejudice: Thirty percent of whites and 34 percent of blacks admit such sentiments.

So a higher percentage of blacks are racist than whites. But you’ll notice that the focus is all on whites and how they react to Barack Obama. The agenda here is pretty clear.

Here is the leftoid agenda — laid out by two members of the American Brahmin caste, fittingly academics — laid out in black and white. Despite it’s “progressive” rhetoric, it reveals the fundamentally static and reactionary nature of “liberal” politics in the modern age. Change is bad, therefore people need to be protected from change by their friends the Overclass. Note the focus on changing the middle class into the subjects of manipulation, as they have succeeded with their allies, the Underclass. These people won’t be happy until there are only two classes left in America, the Rulers and the Ruled.

Lakoff blames “neoliberals” and their “Old Enlightenment” mentality for the Democratic Party’s weakness. They think they can win elections by citing facts and offering programs that serve voters’ interests. When they lose, they conclude that they need to move farther to the right, where the voters are.

This is all wrong, Lakoff explains. Neuroscience shows that pure facts are a myth and that self-interest is a conservative idea. In a “New Enlightenment,” progressives will exploit these discoveries. They’ll present frames instead of raw facts. They’ll train the public to think less about self-interest and more about serving others. It’s not the platform that needs to be changed. It’s the voters.

Will the oxymoron party take heed? Stay tuned.

As an exemplar of conservatism, Lakoff cites the CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.

Obviously, Lakoff’s connection with reality is tenuous, at best.

Megan McArdle points out certain inconvenient truths to the delusional in the Overclass.

Seizing US officials and trying them for war crimes will be perceived by most of the American public as an act of war. An Obama administration that became complicit in this would find itself wistfully hoping that they could, perhaps someday, get their approval ratings up to those enjoyed in the later Dubya years. There would be not inconsiderable pressure to invade Spain to get them back.

The result, therefore, seems almost certain to be some sort of horrific blow to the power of all these international institutions, which become fundamentally irrelevant if the United States does not participate.
