In the 28 August 1972 issue of The Ayn Rand Letter, Miss Rand wrote:
There is one significant factor in the grotesque spectacle of the Democratic National Convention: McGovern's candidacy is a declaration of war on the American people by America's intellectuals.
Hence the unprecedented phenomenon of a society's intellectuals spitting defamations and a virulent hatred at their own country - now going so far as to proclaim moral sympathy with the enemy in an armed conflict.
The breach between the American people and the intellectuals has been growing wider for years. The people were left without guidance, voice or conceptual understanding, with nothing but their common sense to protect them ... The intellectuals longing for an absolute state, which they would both obey and rule, is the modern expression of a court-favorite's policy: to bow and scrape before the ruler in public, to manipulate him behind the scenes in private, and to take out one's self-contempt on an awed populace that accepts any authority." [this last sentence is a perfect description of the relationship between Obama and Ayers, Dohrn and the rest of the academic left]
It is no accident that Obama's puppeteer is an ex-SDS bomber and current education professor. With Obama's election, the tenured radicals can smell final victory over what has always been their primary enemy: America, and everything she represents.

Grant Jones,
You don't have to worry, I'm not voting for Obama. His choice of friends is reason enough to doubt him.
Yes, his candidacy is a continuation of that war, and they have just about won.
So, once they have won, what will they do? And, what will the American people think about it?
Will we just get on the train?
