Restore America in November

Although the origin of the following paragraph isn’t clear, the message is widely circulated. A blog reader forwarded it, adding: “The summary below highlights an extremely serious problem. More than half the citizens are receiving some sort of government support. Jefferson and others before him warned that capitalism starts to die out at that point. Mitt Romney’s message of restoring America is resonating with voters.”

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far 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. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.
