Meet Oleg Atbashian, a former agitprop artist from the Soviet Union. The posters, the banners, the slogans. He’s one of the many people who created the Soviet Union’s symbols and political sloganeering, all that Workers Paradise stuff we hated, the kind of cliched posters Barack Obama’s campaign is producing. It’s true the change for America left relies on symbolism over substance. They have to. It’s all they have. Symbols, speeches, posters, politically correct language and harangues.

In other words, the Nanny State. A corrupt self-enriching Nanny State.

If you’ve ever wondered why the left constantly mocks the good and the decent, it’s because they’re angry contrarians. They say goodbye when they mean hello. They sDizzy yet?ay love when they mean lust. They’re cynical, angry, with issues galore. They think they’re important, they think they’re funny. They imagine their BushChimpHitler is funny, but in the end Sacha Giutry is right; you can pretend to be serious, but can’t pretend to be witty. The left is so tedious because they’re the opposite of witty and the machine surrounding Obama is the zenith of not-witty. The late Bernie Mac made a joke about the Chosen One. That’s all I’m going to say.

Oleg Atbashian migrated to the United States from the old Soviet Union having lived in the Ukraine and Siberia. His Wikipedia entry states,

.. When he arrived in the U.S., Atbashian was puzzled by the “level of delusional affection for all things Left among the liberal intellectual elites who take America’s exclusive well-being for granted. At the time Oleg dismissed this “delusional affection” as silly and of little consequence.

Oleg speaks of many things which he recognizes in plain sight.  Things we might have missed.

And then there is this:

Oleg spoke about sycophants, too-eager campaign staff and over the top yes-men and seekers.

“We lived through all that in Soviet Union. There are derogatory names to call them, but brown-noser is the most polite. Ingratiating themselves with the chosen cult figure, they hope to rise within the Party structure and hold important positions of power. It is power they crave, the authority to tell you how to live, and recognizing a cult figure, they believe they can weasel their way into power.”

“Despite not being qualified?”

“The chosen cult figure rarely has credentials other than a staggering sense of self entitlement and a powerful sense of destiny. His followers are the same. They recognize one another instinctually.”

It’s worth a click and a read. Lots of good links.
