Quote of the Day

"It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

--Anonymous Commenter, from an article at American Thinker

How sad, and how true. Our political process is completely broken if the best that Republicans can do is John McCain and the best the dems can do is Obama. Really, America? That's you're learned opinion?

It's becoming abundantly clear, even to former Obama supporters, that this guy is in way over his head. An oily-tongued charismatic Chicago street hustler does not a good President make.

America's cure is not to defeat Obama, or to defeat the dems. America's cure is to take a good hard look at itself. Where is our moral compass? Where is our integrity? Do we even know right from wrong anymore? Do we even understand the principles upon which this country was founded?

Over the least several election cycles, there have been many attempts to seek high office by people who would actually be good at it. These people were soundly crushed. Alot of people blame it on the political process, or on campaign finance, on special interest groups or any number of other issues. The real culprit is that a huge portion of the American electorate does not want to hear the harsh truth. The next time a political candidate states the unvarnished truth, watch how fast the media attacks him, and the American people abandon him.

Eric Holder got into a bit of trouble for saying a while back that America is a 'nation of cowards' for not dealing with racism properly. While I think that's an absolute lie, and a distortion of history, I do agree with Holder in one respect: Americans have shown 'cowardice'. They've done it in the voting booth, time and time again.

Yes, America can survive Obama, and the foolish electorate's collective insanity that got him elected. But how many more bouts of American foolishness can we endure?

A simple, true and famous quote from de Tocqueville is apropos here: "America is great because America is good. And when America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
