So Rush Limbaugh started off the week touting Matthew Continetti's (http://tinyurl.com/7xj8mvt) "Frozen in The Cold War." For now, let us set aside the gist of Continetti's article that Barack Obama is an Anti Anti Communist. The bigger issue is that Barack Obama is still an unvetted president and we are still asking the world, "Who is this guy?"
An industry has sprung up to determine the motives and mental processes of our 44th president. The market leader so far has been the Anti Colonialism meme advanced by Dinesh D'Souza. A close second would be the Gilbert/Kengor/ John Drew variations on the Red Diaper Baby theme. Running behind the leaders are the Closet Jihadist and 60's Radical (Don't ask me what makes that decade's radicals better or worse than the 50's Rosenbergs or the 70's Ayers and Dohrns) Theories. All of these notions are speculative. Truth be, we still have no idea who this guy is.
So let's throw Anti Anti Communist into the mix.This is Mark Lane taking on the Warren Report except that in the case of the Kennedy Assassination, an official record of events actually existed. With the life of Barack Obama we are expected to do our own research. Thus, there will always be a Continetti attempting to fill the vacuum.
Who is this mysterious community organizer and who are his influences? I suspect we will be asking those questions for the rest of our lives.
