Jason Horowitz, New York Observer, Oct. 30, 2008
It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.
A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera , the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an “obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night.” She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.
Here’s a translation of Jong’s more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca.

“My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves.”
“My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium.”

“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.”

“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me.”
Why is that? Because the Left demands and wants and takes, and doesn’t mind resorting to violence. The Right produces and creates, and would accept a loss without violence. But make no mistake: the Left would never want to start a Civil War, because then they might lose the Right, who supplies most of the taxes and productivity. In fact, Jong gets it exactly wrong. By empowering the Left, an Obama victory could lead to a civil war because the Right wants out, and the Left will not want them to opt out, and will fight it and try to barricade the exit door. Whereas if the Left wanted out, the Right would say “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.
To elitist, who wrote: “The right-wing Economist just endorsed Obama.”
The Economist is not right-wing. They are socially liberal. I oppose them on both their social stance AND their economic stance.
From the moment I set foot on the campus of Stony Brook University (Long Island) in 1989, my prepubescent Republicanism matured quickly not only due to the intellectual climate that the Jong’s and Wolf’s represent on campus, but the militancy of the Black Student Union and the large volume of Asians that simply created Beijing lite. One way or the other, future civil war or conflict seemed a strong possibility. I’m sure many of us know deep down that some struggle is likely in the near future. And, brought on by these others, we can only welcome it. Living on Long Island, under 67% white now, is not the best place. Can someone offer advice, websites, etc., where better part of the country are to move? I really can’t raise kids here, and that part of life is coming soon, and a good job isn’t enough. I’ve looked at citi-data, is there any additional advice? It’d be great to have a site that collects together data in one place for whites.
“My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves.”
These are all members in good standing of our privileged elites. A tireless advocate of multiculturalism, Ms.Jong did much damage during the seventies with her book Fear of Flying, which advocated a sexually promiscuous lifestyle for women. Erica Jong has been married four different times. Evidently, the lifestyle advocated in her inferior and overrated writing doesn’t work out well in life.
In case Jong is ignorant of the fact, Blood has been flowing in the streets of America ever since the Great 60s Revolution started.

Look one the bright side. Comrade Obama, if he wins, will merely accelerate the economic collapse put in place by the WTO/Federal reserve New World Order elites to turn the USA into a third world slum. Comrade O—and his friends—will do this openly what had been done more secretively by (nominally) White Presidents.
This can only make the work of White advocates and AR easier in the months ahead.
One of the reasons why the NWO criminal-political elite was as successful as they were is because they were able to masquerade as patriots, conservatives, and traditional Americans in a way that will be much more difficult for Comrade Obama and his most vocal comrades on a thoroughly degenerate, antiwhite, anti American and Anti Christian left. The worsening state of an inflation-ridden, debt ridden, and affirmative action ridden “economy” will highlight our warnings and recommendations in a way that could never happen in the past.
It is true that Comrade O—and his fellow trolls and parrots in the lamestream media—will blame Bush and his neocons for a while. But the fact that we were strong critics of Bush, McCain and the “right wing’ of the NWO will laugh that objection out of court very soon.
Whether you vote for Barr (Libertarian), Baldwin (Constitution) or even Ralph Nader, we have some interesting days ahead of us!
The Chinese word for “crisis” combines the characters for “hardship” and “opportunity”. Maybe this is telling us something!
PEACE AND FREEDOM!!
“Earth to Amren readers:
The right-wing Economist just endorsed Obama.
That’s right - THE ECONOMIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

This is not news, and The Economist is not by any stretch of the imagination a “right wing” magazine. It is a classically-liberal style free-market mag that is very socially liberal. The ideal Ecomomist reader would a gay investment banker who thinks he knows far more than he does (The Economist itself thinks it knows far more than it does - the people who write it really aren’t all that bright). That they are plugging for his supreme O-ness is no surprise.
Dedalus said: These people will never allow an intelligent debate because it would be too easy to refute their position.
Check out this link re Obama’s buddy Wm. Ayers, to see just how correct you are.
Jane Fonda is a traitor and should have been tried for treason. Her father’s notriety and money had a lot to do with her walking, while our POW’s were still being tortured. It makes me so angry whenever I hear her say she is a “born again Christian.” She’s a Reverent Wright “christian”, a radical old, leftist Hollywood, dried up old hag.
As a long time combat veteran of Viet-Nam I dislike Hanoi Jane and while in the military I knew nothing of Democrat or Republican but Knew jane was wrong and still think so. But under the same circumstances at this very moment in history I think Nancy Pelosi and a large number of politicians have violated federal laws by visiting foreign governments, some of which are hostile to us, and they too should be stripped from their public offices and imprisoned. Perhaps a person of law could tell me if I am correct or not, please!

know so.
Erica Jong always struck me as a true space cadet. Seems nothing has changed. Obviously age doesn’t always bring wisdom.
I really thought the tide had turned for Ms. Fonda when she announced that she was divorcing Ted Turner and had become a born again Christian. However, I quickly came back to my senses when she was touring around the country with some group promoting the “V*g*na Monologues.” Or it might have been some shirt that said “My V*g*na Votes.” I can’t exactly remember but it was disgusting and I don’t think that any Christians that I know or attend church with would tour around the country promoting this type of thing.
However, if I was able, I would ask her what her definition of “Born Again Christian” is, because it sure isn’t the same as mine.
Bottom line - the woman is a kook through and through.
What this Marxist traitor forgot to mention is that an Obama win would quite likely spark a second civil war as well. When a minority is given power over a majority that minority always and without exception abuses that power.
Make ready boys, because this time it isn’t the preservation of our union and states rights we will be fighting for; but the preservation of our way of life by cleansing the entrenched communism that has been festering in this nation for many decades…
