I’ve got a draft for this blog about positive changes I hope Obama will make due to his unique stature in American history. I’ll try to get that finished some time. But meanwhile, this anecdotal report indicates that the “conservative” response to Obama will be
- to demand he be as militaristic as possible overseas
- to laud and encourage his national service program
So I’m about to get a lot more lonely than I thought. My one hope for the Obama Administration was a more individualistic and anti-government ethos from the Republicans. If all we get is more Red State Fascism, then what have we learned from the deserved reaction against Bush?

Nah, I wouldn’t panic yet. If you read to much of the Lew Rockwell website, you’ll hypervenilate. They tend to demonize anyone who disagrees with them, and their arguments are often weak (which works because their audience already agrees with them).

True, I’ve found much better things, even in places I didn’t expect them.
And truthfully, I do harbor hopes that Obama might get some things done that only he can do. We’ll see.
