The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of
entrusting a man like him with the presidency. 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 an electorate willing to
have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far
more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us.
Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast
confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can
survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of
fools such as those who made him their president.
That’s what I’ve been digging for this morning. I may be wrong. It happens regularly. Hell: I thought Mitt Romney was going to win, and win big. But my best guess is this is me. I take some pride in the fact that I COULD have written it, and a tad less pride in the suspicion that I DID write it.
My sense, though, is that I need to move on to other projects. As David Allen puts it in Getting Things Done “why have a thought twice?” I was right, if I did say this, and so was someone else, if I didn’t. Either way, something more than words is needed. I have multiple ideas, and will post any successes.
For now, I am going to do my best to combat my mania to say roughly the same shit on different days.
