The Direction We're Going?

"In war, resolution. In defeat, defiance. In victory, magnanimity. In peace, good will."

–Winston Churchill

Ah, remember when leaders had values and integrity, before they triangulated their poll-driven policies? I could be wrong, but it seems that our country is about to take a hard left detour into juvenile, naive self-absorption:

• Abandon the Iraqis.
• Abolish the border.
• Raise taxes.
• Squelch the economy.
• Grow the government.
• Neuter the military.
• Wallow in filth.
• Promote the lowest common denominator.

We've been sliding this way for decades, but we may be less than a year from jumping in with both feet. We'll implement a European-style socialism and get European results: low production, high unemployment, ineffective defense, the loss of national identity, cultural decline, and free health care.

Good luck with that.

I'd like to think that the nation will recoil after four years of secular socialism, but Europe has wallowed in it for decades.

The new Hillary/Obama virtues:
"In war, equivocation. In defeat, litigation. In victory, smugness. In peace, self-obsession."
