WORLD NEWS TRUST: The Center-Right Myth (Hal Cohen)

Hal Cohen -- World News Trust

Nov. 22, 2008 -- Many people in the punditocracy are cautioning President-elect Obama not to pursue a liberal agenda aggressively because the people will turn on him. They say that despite the largest margin of victory in twenty years tilting left, we are still a “center-right” nation. Ladies and gentlemen, nothing could be further from the truth!

Those who promote the “center-right” nonsense also make the absurd claim that President Bush has been governing from this “center-right” position. Somehow, the two-thirds of the country that want universal health care, and out of Iraq, are out of the mainstream, and even though the wrong-track numbers are as high as the Dow is low, we don’t want to make a major change in direction. This is patently absurd.

Those who would have you buy into the notion of “center-right” America are the exact same ones who would have you believe that we have always been a Christian nation. This, despite the fact that one of the oldest international treaties this nation entered into says quite specifically that we are NOT a Christian nation. The treaty was with Libya, and dates back to our 2nd President (It is left to the reader to look this up but it is easily googled).

Let me state for the record that a “center-right” America would never have elected Senator Obama to the Presidency for the simple fact that Barack Hussein Obama would not have been a Senator to run in the first place. The people who use the term “center-right” today have been gutting the EPA and fighting the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act signed into law by the great leftist pinko Richard Milhouse Nixon!

I was thinking about the repetitious use of this phrase the other day and how deceptive that is. I think the purpose of throwing this around so frequently is just an attempt to brand this concept in the minds of those who get their info from the MSM. Of course this is not a center-right nation for all the reasons you nicely enumerate.
