So�requests VDH at Pajamas.�I agree.
America remains the Land of Opportunity, and the politicians should be extolling that, and bringing inspiration to those who want or need the encouragement instead of�pandering to�peoples' sense of ineffectiveness and their desire for�some "help" from the government which will never arrive without a loss of dignity and freedom.
The politicians should be saying "We'll provide justice, civic peace, protection from external enemies, minimal interference and taxation,�and personal freedom so you can go out there and pursue your dreams - whatever they may be."��
Sometimes I think the Dem ideal is for everybody to become a "ward of the State."�I find that attitude to be insulting, negative, and destructive to the human spirit. Furthermore, I have minimal respect for anyone who wishes to "govern" me: I desire to be self-governing.
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' " Ronald Reagan
