The real danger of an Obama presidency By Neal Boortz
A listener reminded me about this quote that we had on Boortz.com some time ago. The origin of the quote is a bit sketchy .. it apparently first appeared in a Czech newspaper .. but regardless of who wrote or where it came from, its message rings true now, more than ever.
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 the 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.
What will it say of our Republic if we manage to re-elect Barack Obama in 2012? He fooled us once, but not to learn from our mistakes means that we are bound to repeat them. At this point, we can’t afford to repeat the mistake of sending a Marxist hack back to the White House. Sadly, the reason for our foolishness is not hard to pin-point. Every day, year after year, generation after generation, we entrust the government with the education of our children. Why would the institution of government ever teach its children anything but to know and love more government? It wouldn’t. Government, just like any human being, wants to thrive. It realizes that a means to its own survival is making people believe that they need it, and in fact, that they should WANT it to do more things for them. Making people dependent on government is the way in which government continues to thrive. Barack Obama is nothing but a symptom of an electorate that is suffering from governmentitus … a widely propagated disease whereby the victim loves government and will do anything, electing a president for example, to get more of it.
