George Will is one of a only a small handful of writer folk who skillfully, naturally, combine knowledge and wisdom; unflinchingly. God bless him.
"Man is by nature a political animal" -Aristotle

"No, the "best prescription for wrecking a Presidency" is to elect someone incapable of doing the job. Did you vote for Obama? In the primary? You're silent on that.
If you did, then this sums up your article: "I gave my car keys to my five-year-old and that miserable brat crashed into a tree and wrecked everything. That despicable little brat is the worst driver in history."
(And I don't mean that as an insult to Obama, I mean it as an exact metaphor for his qualifications relative to the job of the Presidency.)
Of course, Obama is not a kid, and he is to blame for seeking a job he was TOTALLY unqualified to do. But the blame is shared by every adult who voted for a TOTALLY unqualified candidate, especially in the primary.
I don't need you to tell me Obama sucks. I want you to explain the Great Mystery: how any sentient adult could believe a TOTALLY unqualified person could succeed as President. Regardless of his 'message.' Regardless of what you thought of Hillary. None of that excuses giving the car keys to a five-year-old.
It's disgraceful for the 'Progressive Movement' to now cry about what Obama has 'done to our movement.' Do you remember the 1984 viral video? You discredited your own movement by enabling this transparent fraud -- and everybody outside of your ingrown dreamworld sees that."


Via Carpe Diem


Jon Corzine hugs Obama: He HOPD to have won Governor of New Jersey, but, as it happens...with the help from Obama, Corzine lost the race to Chris Christie. Some were pretty convinced that wen Corzine called Christie "fat", that was about what did him in. Remember to stay classy, Democrats!
Creigh Deeds hugs Obama: He HOPD to have won Governor of Virginia'09, but with the help of Obama, he lost to Bob McDonnell.
Martha Coakley hugs Obama: She HOPD to win; but lost the Senate race to Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Gotta love the look of enthusiasm on Obama's face ;)
Happy anniversary, President Obama!
Just when you thought somebody couldn't possibly say something more stupid than Pat Robertson - outloud anyway...

Mark J. Perry of Carpe Diem fame is the man! I just read a lot...
All Alaskans want is a debate on the merits of his claims! Algore has been avoiding friendly debate invitations all over the globe, these folk are simply wanting to put his feet to the ice ;)
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me -- my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.
Hooyah!
