The Don Quixote comparison with Obama is most valid. Look at what “windmills” he’s currently tilting at. “The worst economy since the Great Depression.” Nonsense, of course. GDP actually GREW by 1.8% during 2008! Admittedly, the last quarter it lost, but what can one expect when all those Democrat-demanded home loans turned out to be worthless (as we all KNEW they would) just in time for the election. Also, the Jimmy Carter recession produced double-digit interest rates, unemployment and inflation–his so-called “misery index,” and that was a mere 30 years ago. I have no doubt that it’ll eventually take another Republican Congress and President to rescue us from the deep, dark hole that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are set to put us into. We’re facing the most corruption-filled two years in our political history. Undoubtedly, Americans will get rapidly tired of it and we’ll see another new beginning come 2010. Obama’s administration will be only the second Presidency in over 100 years that took over from the opposition party and only lasted one term–the other was Carter’s.

“the longing for a powerful welfare state born from nostalgia for the idealized safety net of feudalism, with its certainty of social roles and obligations” — Brilliant analogy. With a certainty of roles, no necessity to think. Safe, secure, mindless.

brilliant. good analogy. no wonder a leftist would squirm with the Quixote-Obama comparison. a little history here:

after the disaster (to Spain) of the Spanish-American War, Don Quixote became a symbol of Castillian Nationalism, a symbol that was much hated by the Catalans/Barcelona (and still viewed with suspect) and as such as in the end of the novel, when Quixote returns to “sanity” and resumes life as Alfonso Quijano, this was seen as a false prelude and pretense giving rise to Franco fascism and an icon of the Civil War as a return to normalcy after a futile and bloody war.

we are familiar with such a theme, as we have recently heard the same:

“Hope and Change”

AS LONG AS Obama destroys the Israeli windmill. The windmill that has cruelity,torment,murder in it’s core. The windmill of racism, a vile robber baron which over shadows South Africa.

[...] January 29, 2009 in Who Killed John Galt | Tags: Capitalism, freedom, Hollywood, Movies, Obama, Philosophy, Politics, Socialism There is a most interesting post on Big Hollywood Blog that analyzes President Obama’s inauguration speech, and the whole lefty point of view, in terms of Miguel Cervantes’ Don Quixote. It’s a long piece but I found it well worth the time. Picture Don Quixote not as an idealistic standard-bearer of chivalry but an aristocrat railing against an emerging social order that frees people from the old feudal system, and you will be on the way to Cracking the Obama Code: Don Quixote vs. the Windmill Owners [...]

Mr Blifil -
I’m glad you put the tin foil in your skull cap to keep the goverment from broadcasting those voices you hear into your head.

Just kidding.

Seriously – your side invented Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Che, Castro, the Bader Meinhof gang, you name it.
If it was killing in the name of politics in the last 100 years, it was done by your folks.
Pat yourself on the back.
And abort your children.
It’ll help the economy.
Well – it’ll help my economy anyway.

“Quixote was a man who read too many chivalric novels, which caused his brain to dry up, which in the paradigm of bodily humors meant that he lost the faculty of judgment.”

Obama Quixote and all the little follower quixotes suffer from Bi-Polar Disorder, vacillating between Bush Derangement Ssyndrome and Obama Worship Syndrome. Without medication I don’t see much hope. However, with sites like this and The People’s Cube and the GayPatriot not to mention American Thinker, Canadafreepress and others, we may find ways to communnicate with those moderates and former conservatives who did not vote. If we can just hold the fort until we get a chance to vote them out…if we get another chance. This new so called stimulus package is shoring up the ACORN group and other Dem backers, looking toward the future.

This has helped to understand what has been making me crazy. Why do they want to willing walk into socialism/communism with their eyes wide open? But it is their thinking that is in the clouds. And critical thinking is what keeps us sane.

Great Post. Very intuitive.
