Listening to the paranoid Republicans, you’d think that Barack Obama is
working night and day to give away what’s left of U.S. power. He’s
exposing America to a mortal threat from … Nicaragua. Setting up the
dollar to fall as the premier global currency. Former U.N. ambassador
John Bolton recently said, in all seriousness, that “people close to”
the Obama team are conspiring to cede U.S. sovereignty to a world
government. Former GOP leader Newt Gingrich sees a “weird pattern” in
which Obama administration lawyers have sought to defend the terrorists
that Bush tried to put away. One GOP congressman after another
complains that Obama himself is aiding the “enemies of America”—Hugo
Chávez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—by talking to them, and is setting the
country on the road to -European-style socialism.
