Horror stories, hallowed rituals and Obama?
If you’re wondering how horror stories, hallowed rituals and Obama all fit beautifully into a single political opinion piece, you haven’t yet read Patrick O’Hannigan’s “The Anti-Ritualist,” over at The American Spectator. And if you like Patrick’s writing style, be sure to check out his blog, The Paragraph Farmer.
As I said to a friend the other day, Obama’s lack of American-ness has nothing to do with his place of birth (although that whole birther thing is a convenient symbol for the issue), and everything to do with his deep dislike for all things American, including her hallowed rituals.
