The Truth That Will Not Be Told
Prof. Paul Eidelberg

If you are wondering why the deluge of information about Obama’s shady past has not eliminated him from the presidential race;
If you are wondering why Obama may become America’s next president despite voluminous evidence of his being a liar and a fraud;
Let me reveal the secret underlying this grotesque state of affairs.
We are living in a postmodern world where truth and falsity are no longer relevant. In Barack Obama postmodernism (moral relativism) unites with the modernism that began with Machiavelli, who deified the self—the self-creating self that dispensed with the verities of the Bible.
Countless people who support Obama care not an iota about truth and falsity. Nihilism is pervasive. Propagated initially by the universities and subsequently spread by the mass media, nihilism permeates the Democratic Party, where the liberal-left is now triumphant. How appropriate that Obama should be the presidential candidate of this party! Obama is not only postmodern but post-American. He has created his own identity, which means he is a pure opportunist.
What attracts so many people to Obama is the very fact that he is a liar obviously infatuated by his own oratory, What matters to such Obamanites is not truth but the SHOW, the SHOW, the SHOW. That’s what Obama’s campaign is all about: not ISSUES, which require sound knowledge and proven experience, but SHOWMANSHIP. ENTERTAINMENT is all.
