Obama’s message
evolves with time
By Nathaniel Shockey
When Barack Obama began his historic
crusade toward the White House, the theme
was restoring America’s standing in the ROBERT F. PAGE
world. Once he secured the Democratic nomi- 1944-2001
nation, the theme changed. Publisher Emeritus
The theme is still “change,” but now this
arbitrary word has wended its way through a

government. He’s sure we need change, but
he’s suddenly not exactly sure what kind of
change.
 Obama’s message has changed dra-
matically within the past four months, but
America cannot forget where he started.
 “We can't drive our SUVs and eat as
WALL STREET WATCH
much as we want and keep our homes on 72
degrees at all times . . . and then just expect
that other countries are going to say, ‘OK’.”
These were Obama’s words to a group of
Oregonians in May 2008.
 His emphasis on raising taxes and his
obvious pursuit of bigger government – these
enormously consequential domestic policies
– are enough to frighten anyone who claims
conservative principles. Like most Ameri-
cans, I don’t like the bailout, and like most
Americans, I don’t want to see increased
taxes that will stifle our economy. But I also
believe that Americans who do not find these
ideas so offensive can be intensely patriotic.

fectly intelligent

 But we can-
not survive if we
believe any part of the unbelievably ignorant
philosophy of which the aforementioned
statement so clearly reeks. We cannot forget
what patriotism means.
 The words patriot and father come from
the same place. The Greek word “patris,”
means “fatherland.” And this inherently
familial idea is critical to the understanding
of why countries exist. They exist in order to
limit responsibility. Families are the only rea-
son we’re not all wandering around, bump-
ing into each other with no one ultimately
responsible for loving us, caring for us, and
knowing us. Without families, people are lost.
 In the same way, without countries, we’d
all still be running around, forming random
groups, lusting for power, trying to impose
our will on everyone else. The reason a coun-
try makes sense is that it separates a group
of people and limits its responsibility in the
world. Every time in recorded history one
person attempted to impose his will on the
rest of the world, he was met with intense re-
sistance and ultimately failed. Nations form
