Wisdom
1. Jim Buchanan (who boasts his own Nobel Prize) and Gordon Tullock – uncovers overwhelming evidence that politics, in fact, almost exclusively is about achieving election and re-election. So to insist that politics should be about something other than what it is really about makes as much sense as insisting, say, that snow should be hot or that donkeys should be bipedal.
2. Conrad Black “And as president, he has been quite, and quite surprisingly, incompetent. . . . It has been a year of fecklessness, amateurism, and posturing. Less that is useful has been accomplished by this president in his first year than by any president since Herbert Hoover.”
3. Survey finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency.
4. Hollywood director Joe Carnahan “I told my own father, who’s politically-minded in that same way, ‘Dad, you’re the most dangerous thing on the political landscape because you’re a sixty-year-old white conservative,’ and that’s more terrifying than any jihadist. But if you took one of these guys, and you gave them the strength of their convictions to become a jihadist… that, to me, was fun.” Liberals and Hollywood have their own grasp of reality that escapes normal people.
5. Proud to be from Ohio: A very out-of-rhythm speech was followed by some of the most obscure and unhelpful questions ever uttered at a town-hall meeting. I was left with a bit of sympathy for President Obama, as questioner after questioner asked about their own specific concerns, often way out of the president's duties, responsibilities, and realm of expertise: One guy was an inventor who wanted to give him a sales pitch, one woman lamented the impatience of the American people before complaining about a slow response from the state environmental agency over her toddler's lead poisoning, one guy wanted to read the president a poem; there was a woman who talked about the problem of finding students for her truck-driving school, an old lady who was upset that her Social Security didn't have a cost-of-living increase, and a guy who had the patent for some wind-turbine issue that he was in a fight with some company about. One poor soul raised his hand and just wanted to shake Obama's hand. Liberals and Progressives know that only government can solve all their problems no matter how petty.
6. Is there a ‘logical extension’ of stupidity?
7. Is he a nut? No. He's just a corrupt, sneaky, power-crazed, arrogant, ignorant fool of a politician. But I wouldn't go so far as to call him a nut. That would be an unconscionable slur to nuts everywhere. Duh... he fell from a mighty oak tree. He's an ACORN
8. There is an old saying that good politics makes bad laws. A truth Obama has internalized.
9. “... truth doesn’t need to progress. It already arrived at its destination; that is why it is true.” Carmel Rattay.
